Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection

"Excellent! The room was clean and tidy, the staff were very welcoming, and it's very close to the beach. The sea view room was gorgeous! The only downside was that the Coke was a bit expensive, haha, two bottles for $6.90!"

Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort

"We stayed here at the end of our honeymoon, after 8 nights at a different hotel and then straight to a safari, we wanted our final 3 nights to be complete relaxation and that is exactly what we got. The hotel grounds & layout is great. There are only 16 rooms which means the hotel is very quiet, which is exactly what we wanted. Sometimes it felt like we were the only guests at the hotel. The food is absolutely excellent. A la carte dining for 3 meals a day as well as snacks on top. My only complaint with the food was that vegetarian options for dinner (for my wife) felt like a bit of an after thought. Dinner was the one meal you didn’t get a choice as it was a set 5 course menu. When my wife would mention to the waiter that she was vegetarian, you could see a bit of a panic and then after reassuring us it was in hand, we would be surprised by a random meal as there wasn’t a vegetarian menu. I must stress again though, the food was delicious and plentiful. The staff were all great and friendly. There wasn’t anything that felt impossible with the staff, they would make absolutely everything happen. A special shoutout to Joseph, he was super friendly and loved a chat. The drinks were also tasty and the menu was huge. The barman would also make any drink we requested off menu too. The room was very modern and clean. Bed was comfy and the mini fridge was filled daily by the cleaners. The cleaners were great and came twice a day which was nice. My complaint with the room is with the mosquito net. It isn’t a 360 degree net as there is a gap between the back wall behind the bed and the net. This doesn’t make sense to me since this leaves opportunity for mosquitoes to bite during the night. The pool area is very nice and clean and feels integrated with the main areas of the hotel. Nothing spectacular but definitely aesthetic. Evening entertainment was always locally themed which was nice and was during dinner which was also a good idea. The spa (each guest gets a free first massage) was great, the masseuse was good at what she does and we both left feeling relaxed. One thing we didn’t know about the hotel was that it had its own farm which is integrated within the grounds. They grow alot of their own spices, fruit and vegetables. They also keep chickens & ducks for eggs and meat. Overall a great stay and we would definitely return in the future."

Toa Hotel & Spa Zanzibar

"We had a wonderful week with my family relaxing at this lovely resort. From the beautiful room with outdoor space overlooking the beach to the delicious food to the friendly and welcoming TOA team, this place was exemplary and I wouldn’t change one thing. The resort has a touring desk in the lobby to plan excursions which was very easy. We planned out a snorkeling trip to Mnemba and a walking tour of Stone Town. But we loved relaxing at the TOA so much that we decided to mostly stay at the property. We also loved the evening entertainment every night especially the Saturday beach dinners. Thank you TOA for a memorable and relaxing week."

Zawadi Hotel, Zanzibar

"The place is amazing and in my opinion almost incomparable on the island. Super quite, super clean, great service, great food, I won’t expect nothing more then this."

Shukran Palace

"Absolutely the best place i have ever stayed in the 25 years I have been visiting Zanzibar. Staff, food, room all 5 Star. Highly recommend Shukran Palace."

Bahati Sunset Bungalows Michamvi

"A fantastic place to relax and explore. We had the most amazing time. Staff and lovely and very helpful. All the food and drinks we had was so good and tasty."

Amani Villas Nature Retreat

"Stayed at the Amani villas with the family. Great small boutique hotel, with the most friendliest helpful staff. If you just want to wind down and get away from it all, this is a must. Every day they prepared a freshly cooked breakfast at a time that was suitable to us. Then come the evening dinner was again prepared to our timing and cooked to our specification. Definitely a place I will return to."

Pongwe Beach Hotel

"Thank you so much for eight wonderful nights! We truly managed to relax and enjoy the sun, warmth, and beach life with you after our safari in Kenya. The place is beautiful, and we will never forget Pongwe. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and varied! We can truly recommend this place. Peaceful and quiet ☺️"

Menai Bay Beach Bungalows

"3rd class hotel. No water on the beach for about 5 miles Pathetic food which is ridiculously overpriced as there are no other options in a 10 kilometres radius"

F-Zeen Boutique Hotel Zanzibar

"The service was great, and everyone was incredibly nice and respectful. For the most part, the location was nice. It is far from most things, so it is expensive to get picked up and brought places unless you book a tour, and it's free pickup and dropoff, which I recommend. Overall, I recommend this hotel; the private beach was so nice and relaxing. "
