The Residence Zanzibar

"The rooms and the beach are very good, but the service is generally worse than other five-star hotels"

Fruit & Spice Wellness Resort Zanzibar

"Good location but road in last mile to hotel."

Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

"We came here for 4 nights after climbing Kilimanjaro and it was the perfect place to relax and recover. The property is super well maintained, with a private beach area and pool and our room was spacious and beautiful. The staff really goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed. Every day they would bring fruit skewers and cool towels to guests lounging on the beach. The location is a 15-20 minute walk away from the main more noisy part of Paje which was perfect because we could walk there during the day for lunch and then return to the peace and quiet. Dinner alternated between a 4 course menu or a buffet and there were plenty of options. Food was super good too."

The Palms Zanzibar

"Beautiful location, people and an outstanding quality of accommodation, food and service. The Palms is a wonderful place. It was my husband’s birthday whilst we were there; and the staff made it very special, without me asking for anything! The food is some of the best we’ve ever had. The staff, without exception were engaging, friendly, approachable, funny and professional. The quality of leadership is visible in everything. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable holiday. We wish you all well."

Frangi'Pwani

"Super beautiful hotel: rooms are spacious comfortable and clean, the pool is super nice and very warm, it feels like a SPA :). The restaurant has plenty of food options, it is very good and not pricey! The staff was great from booking all throughout our stay. They were very helpful at all times and can help arrange trips and transfers. We weren't sure if we were going to stay in Paje the whole week, but we felt so good here and enjoyed Paje so much that we did. A heartful Thank you to all the staff, specially Joseph for all his kindness and attention with us and our daughter - he's a star! Also Triana and Sara, the owner for making us feel home!"

Paje by Night

"I didn't stay at Paje by night but I came for the yoga classes. I had a weekly pass and attended at least one class every day. Palma is a great teacher, after a few sessions I had a good understanding of the ashtanga yoga, and she shared some videos and a pdf booklet of the postures to continue the practice when back home. She was always open to adapt the class to the needs or wishes of those who attended it. I liked the setting of the yoga studio as well, covered but still having the feeling of being outside and well ventilated. I recommend the class to those looking for a relaxing holiday in Paje. "

Hakuna Majiwe Beach Lodge

"Exemplary beauty. Tranquility at best. Lovely beachfront, sugar white sand. Delicious food and pleasant staff. Highly recommend this place."

Nest Style Beach Hotel Zanzibar

"On paper and in pictures, everything looks like it could be ok at this resort, however, the reality is much different. The hotel is dirty, shabby, lacking in atmosphere and has inadequate facilities for the number of rooms (not enough space at the pool or private beach). The food is awful. A/c units are poorly serviced and smell due to lack of maintenance. Some rooms have termites. We were due to stay 5 nights but checked out after 1. Give it a miss."
