Loved every day spent there! Beautiful place, efficient and lovely customer service. Their house keeping is like no other. My experience at Azao Resort is one for the books! I highly recommend staying there

I went with my family of 12 people to Azao Resort, the hotel was abserloutly beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The hotel had a lot of entertainment stuff, and the pools are huge. The staff was abserloutly amazing - so friendly , so helpful and very polite. The food (from breakfast, lunch & dinner) was so tasty, and food was plentiful. They even had a barbeque evening over looking the beach. They had 2 guys that's danced almost every night for dinner and had the crowd going. The rooms were very nice and clean. If you want a quiet, tranquil holiday, I will definitely recommend Azao to you. Thank you

Op t eerste zicht een mooi hotel, gratis update naar chiquere kamer. Maar aankomst om 22.10: bar gesloten,geen kans op een drankje en niet eens ff stukje fruit om te knabbelen. Enfin sochtends opstaan: gaaaaf uitzicht, ontbijt mwa, koffie : filter, brood? ****** bruin en wit, verder iedere dag t zelfde. Lunch gemiddeld en dinner gemiddeld, geen variatie. Hotel is outdated, kapot, het hotel heeft zn beste tijd gehad en vind het bewonderenswaardig dat de staaff zooo superlief is. Kamer ook mooi ruim en zeeeer schoon. Bij uitcheck voor 4 uur verlengd ( ofcourse tegen betaling,geen probleem) . Echter bij uitchecken: probleem: ik had na 12.00 nog een kopje koffie genomen en gelunched, terwijl van corendon was verzekerd dat ik daar gebruik van mocht maken( en zo ken ik t ook). Conclusie: mooi land, maar zoek een ander hotel. Je merkt aan alles de nukkigheid vh management en dat zie je ook aan zijn gezicht. Pluim voor de staff dat ze ondanks dit bewind zo superlief blijven, maar voor mij DIT hotel niet nog een keer. Zanzibar wel.

Worst experience ever, upon arrival at Azao Resort on the first night, we were placed in an old room that seemed either under renovation or unused. It had a terrible smell, and there were no towels or gowns available. When we raised our concerns, we were assured it would be addressed the next day, but we struggled to get a good night’s sleep, having to run the air conditioning at maximum to mitigate the odor. The following day, we were moved to a better room, but our experience was already marred. The dining experience was just as bad, to make matters worse, the hotel was not prepared for our arrival regarding meals. We arrived just after 9 PM, only to find that dinner service had ended, and there was no food available for us. We were offered leftovers, and I, in particular, only received rice. The hotel did not cater to my vegan diet, and when I requested a simple vegetable dish, I was informed that you hadn’t communicated my dietary needs. I was even told that if I wasn’t happy, I could move to another hotel. As a result, I went without proper nutrition during our stay, which is unacceptable for a holiday. My friend and I booked a full package massage on our last day at the resort, and it turned out to be a huge disappointment. I was completely baffled by what the older lady was doing—she was rubbing my body so quickly, it felt like she was in a rush. At one point, she even laid her body on mine while aggressively rubbing me. It didn’t feel like a massage; it felt more like torture. It was such a waste of money and a really upsetting experience.

Horrible stay!!! When we arrived they asked us to pay the sum of 50 euros to access the room because we arrived before 2 p.m. The excursions are a real scam... On the day of an excursion there was torrential rain so all the planned activities were canceled.. I paid 130 dollars and I received no compensation or gesture from the representative Carrefour M.Ali. Excessive price and bad will. They are in bad faith and only think about sucking your money. They only think about making us pay for everything and anything excessively. Theft and a real scam. The bath towel was stained so they asked me to pay 25 dollars. My vacation was a real nightmare. It's not worth it at all. To flee! I just want to leave. Rainy season. Rain almost every day… Very bad experience. I do not recommend this hotel. I thought I was having a great adventure! It's a disaster!

Staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Especially Baraka, Hawa and Awhadi. Rooms were great with a nice comfy king size bed and the view of the reef, water and boma was awesome. Had a great time. Although the food was lovely and delicious I would suggest maybe adding a bit more variety to the menu offering on maybe alternating days.

Staff, accomodation and amenities are great but buffet was very disappointing...same bland breakfast for 8 days is really unpalatable. The general manager attended hand and foot to the owner who was visiting from Dubai and ignored the guests..
