Hotels near Mapenzi Beach

"The hotel was wonderful. A safe place with delicious food and the people are so lovely. Clean and got everything you need. My only thing would be to make sure there is an all inclusive coconut rum. "

"An amazing place to stay, right on the beach. The food was exceptional and very safe (even salads), no need to worry about "cook it, peel it, eat it" - just eat it all! We had the all-inclusive which was well worth it, lots of fun cocktails and mocktails that were included. Everyone working there was friendly and professional. They spray against mosquitoes, outside and inside, so we must have seen less than 5 in a whole week. I would recommend booking your own airport transfer as it's easy to find something considerably cheaper than what the hotel would organize. About 70min drive. The beach is huge (at low tide), and you can walk for kilometres. There can be sea urchins, so water shoes are a good idea. Swimming was safe, and more fun at high tide with the waves. Two pools that are well maintained. All in all, a perfect place to stay and relax. "

"Had the most wonderful time at Melia Zanzibar, full of the kindest people who made our trip spectacular. The food menu at the beach club is great, as the jetty restaurant. Breakfast is delicious too! "

"Amazing hotel and staff! My every need was met and there was always a staff member close by who was willing to help. We arrived early and our rooms were not ready, they took our bags from us and allowed us to get ready in the change rooms. We went to our excursion and came back to find our luggage in our rooms! They even offered late check out for us! Ahmed is the best bartender ever! Made the best drinks and always had a smile on his face! Too many amazing staff to call out. I will miss Lux Marijani and the memories I had made over that week! The only down side I would say is the location is a bit far from stone town and other excursions around Zanzibar. However, the remote location makes for relaxation, quiet and great beaches! Expect a minimum of 1.5 hours each way to commute into the city areas like Stone Town. Other than that, for what you get in quality and celebrity treatment, the distance is the minimum of your worries! The staff literally cater to your every need! One other story, I came back from an excursion and needed dental floss. A staff member was prepared to call a pharmacy to get someone to deliver it to my room. I declined because it wasn’t necessary but just goes to demonstrate how serious they take guest satisfaction! Loved this place and will miss it tremendously. "

"Absolutely loved our stay at Toa Hotel and Spa! The service was exceptional, with staff who truly go above and beyond. I wish I can give it a 10 star for their service! The rooms are stunning, with private pools and direct beach access. We enjoyed the delicious food made with love, and the beach dinners were unforgettable, complete with an amazing show under the stars. The pools are beautiful, and the whole property feels peaceful and luxurious. If you’re coming to Zanzibar, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!"

"Fun resort with many different daily activities for families. Set on the fantastic east coast of Zanzibar, Diamonds Mapenzi gives you access to a beautiful beach with warm water and sports (additional charge). Food tasted good and staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Would stay here again "
