"My partner and I really enjoyed the hotel. The staff was extremely friendly, and were very patient with our attempts to speak Swahili. They had a ton of amenities, and classes during the day (ie. workouts, bracelet making, activities, etc.), which was nice since the location is a bit far and somewhat secluded. The beach was stunning (but you could only swim during high tide but the sand was gorgeous), and because it was secluded there weren't a ton of people trying to sell things. We loved the...

"A smaller hotel but with provided a great experience. The staff were outstanding from reception to the bar. The rooms were very cool (we had a family room) and large, clean and very well appointed. The restaurant always looked good with many options enough to satisfy kids too. The kids also loved the pool & table tennis games room. The Dive centre in the hotel was also excellent and one of the reasons we chose this hotel. It all worked well. Just over an hour from the airport but plenty stuff...

"We had an amazing stay at Sunshine Marine Lodge. The staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly. The reception team helped with arranging tours and activities - we especially loved the tour of Stone Town! The hotel also offers transfer services from the airport, which was really convenient. The resort itself is beautiful and peaceful. The food was also great, especially the fresh fruit at breakfast and the daily specials for lunch and dinner. Cannot recommend this stay enough!"

Hij heeft ons geholpen bij het organiseren van een safari-activiteit en zelfs gezorgd voor een verjaardagstaart voor de verjaardag van mijn vrouw.

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Had a great stay, lot’s of sunbathing chairs, many pools, although the resort was at full capacity, it did not feel crowded. Staff are extremely polite and welcoming. Delicious food with lot’s of variety. It’s a resort to stay in the resort as there is not much around it to walk too. As soon as you go outside the premises, locals are quite insistants. "

Zuri Zanzibar
10/10 Excellent
"We chose Zuri for the second week of our honeymoon, as we wanted some luxury after a busy week on safari in Kenya and we were not dissappointed! This is truly one of the best hotels we have stayed at, from the beautiful rooms (we stayed in a standard bungalow), to the absolutely exceptional standard of food across all of fhe restaurant options at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The buffet breakfast is without doubt the best buffet breakfast we have experienced, a vast range of choices which change slightly day to day. We generally chose to eat a light lunch either on the beach or by the pool each day, the standard of which was also excellent. We ate at both the buffet dinner and also at the A L Carte, both of which were fantastic. We also chose to book the "Romantic dinner" on the beach for our last night which was also a wonderful private dining experience. We also booked a couples massage at the spa which was very enjoyable. The hotel offers 2 daily wellness sessions included with all boards basis, we took part in the yoga sessions which was a lovely way to start the day, as well as making use of the gym. We also went on the "spice tour", a tour of the Zuri spice garden, which was very interesting. Both the private beach and pool area were absolutely beautiful, with more than enough sun beds for the guests. Finally, the level of service from every single member if staff was exceptional, everyone was extremely attentive and very friendly. We would definitely book again!"
Melia Zanzibar
10/10 Excellent
"This is my second time staying at Meliá, and it won’t be my last. It’s not only because the hotel and grounds are beautiful. It’s the staff, they are exceptional, they’re the most friendly, smiley, professional and provide amazing service. Every room is cleaned twice a day and I’ve left valuables lying around and everything has always been safe.
My only complaint this time was that there was no working light in the shower but other than that everything was 10/10."
The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"
I had an unforgettable honeymoon at Mora Resort Zanzibar. The room was comfortable and beautifully maintained, providing a perfect retreat. The beach was pristine with clean white sand, and the clear sea water made for stunning views and relaxing swims. The customer service was absolutely top-notch—friendly, attentive, and always eager to help. The dining options across all the restaurants were fantastic, offering delicious food with a variety of choices. But what I loved most were the breathtaking views of the beach that made every moment even more special. Overall, it was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend Mora Resort Zanzibar for a romantic getaway.
