"Ottima struttura per visitare e godersi la costa est di Zanzibar. Camere essenziali ma confortevoli, pulite e moderne. Staff super, Roberta e i colleghi ti fanno sentire davvero a casa. Il ristorante davvero ottimo sia per le colazioni sia per i pasti. Per chi cerca un’oasi di pace diversa dai classici resort (per vivere l’atmosfera di Zanzibar in modo più autentico) e della buona ospitalità (e cucina) italiana sicuramente è il posto giusto! Super consigliato! "

Top Mapenzi Beach Hotel Reviews

Melia Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"The best place i have visited. It made me feel at home"

Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Location of property , service by staff, manicured landscape , pools and overall being at one resort all excellent. Had a room closest to ocean and felt great. Sea safari by Jackson is a treat. Rooms are spacious. Food options are many. We are used to some different taste we felt at their specialty restaurants. General buffet is outstanding with plentiful of choices. Overall you will be happy you stayed here."

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"Our inbound transportation wasn’t there due to misunderstanding on the hotel part even though we had called and exchanged few emails but they found a quick solution for us and it went very smoothly. I would suggest to add some snacks (cookies, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars, etc .) at the bar and not only drinks to make it more convenient."

Royal Mandarin Hotel & Resort Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I found a little bit of paradise at Royal Mandarin Resort! Very very nice property. We booked this room for five nights following our Serengeti Safari in the hope of some beach relaxation. We got that and so much more!"

Tamu Tamu Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel we had a lovely time. So peaceful and quiet and the staff are amazing. I recommend."
