Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Luxury Overwater Villas

Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Luxury Overwater Villas

📍 Michamvi Peninsula, Kusini
★★★★★ 8.4 (104 reviews)

"The place is very nice and relaxed with amazing sunset view. However, the room was full of insects and bugs, there was no hot water in the shower and the telephone was not working. They had to send the maintenance guy several times to fix the hot water which wasn’t convenient at all. The road to the hotel is very bumpy but worth the sunset view. Lunch was good, dinner was below average but the breakfast was yummy. Had to carry my luggage at checkout because the telephone in the room was not working and the reception was were far away. We were supposed to have free kayak or surf board but no staff was there to ask for the kayak. Overall, we didn’t feel that we got the value for money."

The territory is beautiful, the rooms are clean, with air conditioning and hot water. The pool is excellent, there is for both children and adults. Cool animation during the day and evening. The staff is kind and always helpful. The food is very tasty. We will definitely come back and advise everyone! The kids and I really enjoyed it!"

Breezes Beach Club and Spa

Breezes Beach Club and Spa

📍 Bwejuu Beach, South East Coast, Paje Michanvi Road Dongwe, Kusini
★★★★★ 9.7 (54 reviews)

"Just the most fabulous hotel. Beautiful room and the most lovely swimming pool. The staff simply can not do enough for you. We had a small plumbing issue in both of the two rooms we were occupying and the issue was immediately attended too and we were all moved to upgraded connected rooms with so many apologies. They hotel also emailed our Travel Agent to alert them of the issue. The way it was so swiftly and carefully sorted out actually says a lot more about this wonderful hotel than any other glowing report. However, the rest is also glowing! The food, menu choices, location. atmosphere and staff. Everything is so gently perfect, sunbeds galore round the pool and on the beach section before the high tide rock defences. The Dive Shop also gets a mention - a wonderful snorkelling trip with breakfast provided by the hotel and freshly prepared fruit on the boat, an excellent Marine Biologist snorkelled with us to point out different fish and provide the names of them and the Star Fish Garden was amazing. All in all the most fabulous, natural looking rustic hotel but at the same time immaculate and modern. Just can't say enough about the hotel and the staff. This is a genuine review in case any one wonders if it is just too good to be true. it really is a special place. Thank you to all at The Breezes."

Starfish Garden Lodge Hotels in Kusini

Starfish Garden Lodge

"We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a truly pleasant experience. The place is quiet, right on the seafront, with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at ease. Our room was brand new, clean, and well-equipped with everything you need, even if it's not yet 100% complete. The sea-view restaurant is a real highlight: the breakfast is excellent (I still dream of the bread!), and lunch and dinner also offer truly delicious dishes. One aspect to keep in mind is the tidal phenomenon, which I personally found fascinating and unique. The staff is friendly, helpful, and ready to help you organize excursions. They also enthusiastically support a wonderful local project: #skills4job. Recommended!"

Aquelia Rose Hotel Hotels in Kusini

Aquelia Rose Hotel

"Terrible choice! On the day we arrived, we only had one bath towel in the room. After our third request, at 5:30 PM, they brought a soaked pool towel and a wet bath towel!! We refused! At the end of the day, at 7 PM, they brought a bath towel that wasn't stretched or folded, but dry! The next day, before we had even had breakfast, they were already cleaning the room. At that time, they left two pool towels but didn't replace the bath towels. On the third day, they removed the bath towels and didn't replace them. They removed the shower gel and soap from the sink and didn't replace anything. They didn't offer a single bottle of drinking water! The tap in the sink barely dispenses water. The floor drain takes a long time to empty the showers. In short, terrible conditions! Everything is very old! The stairs leading to the beach are extremely dangerous, with very poorly made steps, ranging from inclines to different step heights, some quite high, without any handrails. They ask you to shower before entering the pool, but the shower for those coming from the beach doesn't work! The breakfast is awful! They don't serve what's on the menu; you order one thing and you get something else. For lunch, it takes them an hour to prepare a Greek salad and some grilled squid with fries!! On the beach right outside the hotel, Maasai wait for guests, their stalls for sales, immense noise from the people who set up under the dining area, selling things and catching fish. For a place that claims to be a place for relaxing, doing nothing, and resting, it's a very noisy hotel, with minimal soundproofing. Windows that don't seal properly, doors that creak and drag on the floor… Hard to forget!! Not recommended at all! In fact, it's recommended not to book this hotel, which doesn't even have a name that matches. They say it's called EquAlia Rose Hotel, but it's actually AquElia Rose Hotel!!"

"The experience was amazing. The hotel has extraordinary scenery, with largest pool in Zanzibar and beautiful beach. We spent 9 days with a family of 7 people. It is a mid size hotel with great amenities and a splendid staff all here to smile and provide you an excellent experience. The food is high quality and chief keeps changing it everyday. They have good night shows. Special thanks to all staff members and specially to Amour and Mohamed for their continuous kindness and hospitality and Salim for his advices and making our son feeling so special for his 20’s birthday.

Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World Hotels in Kusini

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 Hotels in Kusini

The Palms Zanzibar

"I haven’t written a review for a long time. Maybe the places we’ve been in the world haven’t really been worthy of one however when, once in a lifetime, somewhere touches you so sincerely that maybe the rest of the world needs to hear about it. Now, to describe this place, it would be advised to close your eyes, sit back, breathe deeply and not to let your surroundings distract you. Relaxed? Imagine, the most beautiful landscaped lush green gardens, palm trees swaying above you , piercing blue skies, soothing warm air brushing against your skin coming from across the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Silence, tranquility, pure paradise for the senses. Can you imagine it yet? If so, I’ll begin… A year ago my wife was searching for a holiday. At the time we were in the Maldives. You would think that the Maldives would be the ultimate dream come true, not in a million years did we expect what she found would far, far out way the Maldives. Zanzibar she said, I replied, “where is that”? Little did I know or expect that this small island off the east coast of Tanzania would be our true calling. Now trying to research this island to find a resort to our taste took some work. A lot of research and discussion. A company called The Zanzibar Collection came to our attention and more acutely a resort of just 7 villas and 14 guests. The Palms, situated on the south east coast of the Island on Dongwe beach. I am a true believer that you get what you pay for, this resort is not cheap I will just say that. Worth it? Very much so, let me explain… When we arrived at the resort, tired from hours of travelling from England we were met by a man, reserved, with calming influence, dressed smartly in shirt and trousers. A beautiful smile on his face welcoming us to The Palms, this man was Siriak the hotel operations manager. I can truly say that to Siriak, everyone who walks through his doors are not just guests, they are friends and treated with the upmost courtesy, respect and professionalism. Escorted through the beautiful grounds we were invited to relax on the armchairs and were quickly served a welcome drink whilst he sat with us explaining the resort layout and going through a little bit of paperwork. Our room was not yet ready having arrived early in the morning. Check in is usually at 3pm however Siriak made us comfortable by providing us with a little side villa to change and relax. After a few hours, having breakfast and relaxing in the hotel grounds are room was ready. Now, to say this was a room is an understatement. It’s a private 130sqft villa. Seven in total all named after spices that are found and exported from the island. The islands main source of income. Our villa, Cinnamon, in my humble opinion is the best of them all due to its position on the right side of the resort which seems more private and exclusive. It’s the only villa which no one else can see or access due to its position. A priva"

"We stayed with our family in Sahari Zanzibar for 5 dayed. It is a small hotel which we liked very much. When you wake up in the morning you see te sea on one side and the swimming pool on the onther side (from the restaurant). There was a lot of different things to choose to eat (rice, pasta, pizza, burger with fries, seafood, ...) and once a week there is Swahili night: a buffet with live music. That is really great!! We really enjoyed it! Everybody is very friendly and especially Amos is a waiter who makes it a pleasure to come and eat in this restaurant. We really enjoyed staying here!"

Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel ★★★★
"It’s a nice hotel with regards to the rooms, pool areas, eating areas, and lounging areas. It felt clean and tidy. For dinner you can choose between the buffet and the á la carte. A lot of the food is quite westernized. The buffet felt safe, but not too exciting. The á la carte was very good! The staff are friendly, but only some of them are service oriented, not all. There are several smaller things that combined landed us on a 3/5. When we arrived, they couldn’t find our booking. We had to make some calls and the whole thing felt a little uncomfortable. After things got sorted out they told us it was their own system that messed up. Two days in a row we were asked to sign a bill for the minibar, although we hadn’t used it. We told them no both times and they x’ed out the bill. When we checked out the last day, we asked to go through all the bills with them. We then found out that they had included the bill from the minibar, even though we hadn’t signed it. The area down by the beach is very nice. They provide you towels, and there’s no fighting over the beds. At least not outside of the high-season. A few of the staff at the beach were helpful and friendly. Yet others made us feel like we bothered them when asking for drinks or food. As guests, that could make it quite uncomfortable."

"We spent a month on vacation on this island and in the best hotel, right on this beach!!!!!! A gorgeous hotel with all the amenities. Spacious rooms, friendly and very helpful staff, which is very important! Even the slightest request is fulfilled quickly and efficiently! The hotel is not large, but very cozy. On the territory there are 2 swimming pools, a restaurant, a bar, and a floor for evening dancing! This hotel is suitable for visitors of all ages, both adults and families with small children. Excellent room stock. Special thanks to the staff in the restaurant - they are smiling and friendly! Breakfasts are simply finger-licking good - the pancakes are a real masterpiece. Thanks to those who clean the rooms and the hotel grounds - in a word, THIS IS OUR LOVE ❤️ Special thanks to the beach worker, always bringing out mattresses on the sun loungers on time. On the last evening, they arranged a festive dinner for us, with delicious seafood, songs, wine, and dessert! You moved me to tears; I definitely didn't want to leave. We miss you already and can't wait to see you next year."

"We absolutely loved this hotel. It is small enough to feel that you are the only people there, but large enough to have great facilities. The gardens and communal areas were beautiful. The staff were all so kind and helpful. Its location on the east coast means that there is a constant breeze, and therefore cool and refreshing. The tide goes out about a kilometre, and at that time you are not able to swim in the sea. But there is a huge pool to cool off in. The waiter service at your sunbed and guided walks at low tide to explore the coral pools are great. Take water shoes to go on the tour, as there are sea urchins everywhere. The food choices and quality were superb, and the lunch menus and drinks, which were not included in our package, were reasonably priced considering the beautiful location. There was local entertainment nightly for an hour or so during dinner. We had a garden bungalow which was big and had a nice veranda to sit on. There are more expensive rooms closer to the sea, but our location was quiet and away from the noise of the restaurant and pool area, which for us was more desirable. The hotel arranged some excursions for us and we used the very nice spa. This is a very reasonably priced hotel for the quality and amenities, and we would happily return. There is nothing to do locally except dive, swim or walk along the beautiful white sand. Shops or tourist attractions are a taxi ride away. But after a week's safari, all we wanted was a few days' rest, and this was definitely the place to do that. Asante Sane x"
