We had a wonderful stay at Swahili Beach Resort! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, making our stay very comfortable. A special thank you to Edna, who was especially helpful during check-in. She made sure our family of four was assigned to rooms next to each other, which made things so much easier for us. She also kindly arranged a late check-out to accommodate our late flight—something we really appreciated. Overall, excellent service, clean rooms, and a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Property and decor were beautiful.Rooms were very spacious. Food was excellent. Only issue was that you were charged for water at the restaurants. You received two bottles of water a day in the room but any additional water bottles you were charged for.

Beautiful property and rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Overall, the food could do with improvement, for example nachos were literally Doritos or something similar, with nothing on them, and everything else mixed into a cup to dip into. Saying that, food at Zanzibar, spice route and some of the breakfast options were very good. Lots of quirks though! Only one restaurant was open for lunch, and even being low season, food took up to 1 hr 45 minutes to arrive, with no real explanation. Same when their system showed us checking out a day sooner than actual, no real reason was provided as to why. Lots of cats, many are strays or kittens, and all should be spayed or neutered.

We had a fantastic stay at Swahili Beach Resort. The resort is stunning and thoughtfully designed, featuring a multi layered pool and beautifully crafted architecture throughout the rooms and hotel. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was the air con was quite noisy.
