Pros: gym facility, free breakfast, reasonable hotel restaurants and room service. House keeping is excellent, okay wifi, decent AC unit, the beach is beautiful, but VERY BUSY AND NOISY. Cons: the power went out maybe 5x a day, morning and night. The beach isn't private, so there will be A LOT of sellers walking up to you and unfortunately you will be harassed constantly. I made friends with one of the Masai beach boys, but that doesn't stop others from walking up to you every few minutes. The security does their best, but sometimes the beach boys even sneak into the hotel grounds at night.

A Perfect Solo Getaway

I recently stayed at The Z Hotel Zanzibar as a solo female traveler, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and genuinely warm, making my stay feel personal. The food and drinks were delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it was a leisurely breakfast overlooking the ocean or a cocktail at the rooftop bar at sunset, every meal felt like an experience in itself. The variety and quality were impressive, with something to suit every craving. The facilities were just as great. The pool area was pristine and perfect for unwinding, while the semi-private beach was just steps away, offering stunning turquoise waters and soft white sand. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a boutique feel that balances luxury with laid-back island vibes. Most importantly, I felt completely safe and secure throughout my stay. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed yet well-managed. As a solo traveler, this made all the difference—I could fully enjoy my time without any worries. Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, or with friends, The Z Hotel is an absolute gem. I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and I am very much looking forward to visiting again.

The location is amazing and the food at the Chinammon was delicious; however, I can’t recommend this resort based on the horrible internet service, annoying beach boys trying to sell you stuff on the private beach, and the brief, intermittent power outages throughout the day.

La camera era molto bella e spaziosa e i servizi dell'hotel davvero ottimi. Abbiamo apprezzato soprattutto la vicinanza alla spiaggia e i ristoranti vista spiaggia e con ottima scelta di cibi sia locali che internazionali. L'unica nota negativa è che a volte non arrivava acqua calda per la doccia e andava via la corrente per qualche minuto prima dell'avvio del generatore, ma credo sia un problema di tutta l'isola.

We stayed in the Z-Suite and it was absolutely amazing. I think it was the nicest hotel we have ever stayed at. The gym was better equipped than any hotel gym I've seen, the spa treatments were lovely and reasonably priced, and we enjoyed all 3 restaurants. It is centrally located in Nungwi and there is lots to explore in the area (note that this is about 1.5 hour drive from airport). Whoever decorated this hotel should get an award, as the attention to detail from the lamps to the artwork to the wallpaper was impeccable.

Two Hotels, One Name! Make Sure You Know Which One

We originally booked The Z Hotel, expecting to stay at the beautiful beachfront property with its stunning views, pool, restaurant, and gym. However, upon arrival, we were informed that we had been placed at The Z2 Hotel, a newly opened sister property located just behind The Z Hotel. While Z2 is modern and clean, it lacks the charm, atmosphere, and convenience of the original Z Hotel. What disappointed us most was that nowhere in the booking process or confirmation was it mentioned that Z2 even exists, or that we could be placed there instead of the hotel we actually chose. Guests at Z2 are allowed to use the pool at The Z Hotel, but you have to walk back and forth between the two buildings. Also, Z2 guests are not allowed to have breakfast at The Z Hotel, which added to the feeling of being separated or downgraded. Another important point, there is no elevator in the building. Considering the relatively high price, the overall experience did not feel worth the cost. If we had been clearly informed about the existence of Z2 and what it offered we would probably have made a different booking. As it stands, we felt misled, and that we didn’t get the value or experience we paid for. The Z Hotel itself is lovely with a great vibe, just make sure you know exactly where you’re staying. Z2 may suit some, but it’s a very different experience than staying at the original property. The gym at the Z hotel is great and well equipped with a nice view.

Absolut empfehlenswert! Super schönes und gepflegtes Hotel in Nungwi mit wunderschöner Anlage, sehr guter Ausstattung und hervorragendem Personal. Das Hotel hat einen gut ausgestatteten Fitnessraum, einen Spa-Bereich, einen sehr schönen und super sauberen Pool, einen bewachten Strandbereich, 2 Restaurants und eine Rooftop-Bar. Das Essen war sehr lecker, wenn auch etwas teurer (im Verhältnis zu anderen Restaurants dort). Das Frühstücksbuffet war sehr vielfältig und alles super lecker. Besonders lecker fanden wir den - vermutlich - selbstgemachten Mango-Jam und den ebenfalls -vermutlich- selbstgemachten Pineapple-Jam. Die Lage war ebenfalls prima, direkt am wunderschönen Strand von Nungwi, der bei Ebbe sehr breit war. In der Nähe gab es viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und sicher fühlten wir uns dort auch. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passte dementsprechend. Rundum tolle 5 Tage!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the best beach in Zanzibar. If possible, we would recommend separating the swimming area from the boats for added safety and comfort.

The two standouts of the Z Hotel were the friendly and gracious staff (shout out to Emiliana and Latifa), and the superb seafood restaurant Sexy Fish. I ate there twice and on both occasions the recommendations were spot on. The free breakfast buffet was also excellent. Very cool interior design, with liberal use of tropical themed wallpaper mixed with African fabrics in common areas and guest rooms. Very nice infinity pool overlooking the beach. There are lounge chairs by the pool and on the beach for hotel guests. The beach itself is the classic powdered sugar sand and warm aquamarine water, though at times felt a bit congested because of the restaurant projecting out from the hotel on one side of the beach, the small boats anchored in the water, and the traffic of jet skis and horse rides in the water. It's a nice stroll along the beach, but be prepared to deal with locals hawking souvenirs and tours. I found them friendly and not overly aggressive. If you're looking to buy souvenirs, the hotel is walking distance to a bunch of shops. There are also other restaurants within walking distance if you want to sample food other than what the hotel offers.
