Aluna Paje

Aluna Paje

📍 Paje Beach, Paje
★★★★ 9.0 (73 reviews)

"Excellent hotel and great value for money. Manager and all staff go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable and happy to help at any given moment. Few minutes walk to the beach and all amenities like bars, restaurants and shops are outside hotel in the wonderful area of Paje. Would definitely recommend this hotel as we had a great experience"

Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Luxury Overwater Villas

Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Luxury Overwater Villas

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

"This hotel deserves special attention, especially for those who would like to have a premium vacation, but are limited in budget. The villas are luxurious, spacious, all privately located with a garden and private pool. You can't see or hear your neighbors. It reminds me of the Maldives, only there such rooms cost thousands of dollars. The territory is large, well-groomed, very clean, it is pleasant to walk along it, those who take care of it deserve a gold medal. The hotel security in the form of Masai warriors is very unusual, it adds its own twist. Panoramic open-air restaurant. The views are stunning. The beach is clean, private, there is no one except hotel guests, the sand is white and soft. The ocean is clean. The time of the ebb and flow of the tide is convenient. The tides are early in the morning and after lunch, when the sun is no longer aggressive. Perhaps there is not such a variety in the choice of dishes, but it is delicious. Freshly squeezed juices for breakfast. The staff may not be as well trained, but this is reflected in the price. And still, a big thank you to them. I really liked it and highly recommend it."

Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel

Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel

📍 East Coast of, Paje
★★★★ 8.8 (58 reviews)

"The stay was fine and the accommodations were nice. However, we ordered the all-inclusive package which is not your standard all-inclusive experience, as we had just left an all-inclusive resort in Nungwi just prior to our stay here. They have a specific menu that is for all-inclusive guests and it is much smaller than the menu provided to other guests. Less beverage options, I certainly understand, but the food options are nearly cut in half also. The service was often slow, especially during lunch. While there, it seemed other guests were also having issues with orders being missed on multiple occasion. "

"Mandarin Resort is a cool place to relax. There is a beautiful ocean nearby, we really liked the tides - we walked on the bottom and saw a lot of sea creatures. 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!"

★★★ 8.9 (42 reviews)

"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."

The One Resort Zanzibar Hotels in Kusini

The One Resort Zanzibar

"We stayed at The One Resort in Makunduchi, in the quiet south-east of Zanzibar, and absolutely loved the peaceful vibe. It’s a bit remote (which we liked), so if you’re looking for a break from the crowds and want to truly unwind, this is a great pick. The setting is beautiful, lovely pool area with a swim-up bar, stylish and spacious rooms, and great food. Both the buffet and à la carte menus were excellent (I’d seen other reviews mention the food being top-notch, and they were right). The staff were friendly and attentive throughout, and the evening entertainment was varied and surprisingly good without being over-the-top. The only downside for me was the mattress, extremely firm, almost like sleeping on a board. Might be fine if you like that, but as a side sleeper I didn’t sleep great. Otherwise, the room was lovely and clean. The hotel can arrange tours, but we chose to explore on our own with a great local taxi driver. We swam with turtles, visited Paje, and went to The Rock restaurant, all easily doable with a bit of planning. If you’re after a chilled out place with good food, great service, and no big crowds, this place is a solid choice. Just be prepared for the remote location, and maybe ask about a mattress topper if you’re picky about beds!"

"Overall the hotel was good. The beach and pool was very nice. Food was hit and miss as certain items were repeated.

Overall we enjoyed the hotel amenities and food."

"Incredible stay! We started our honeymoon off in this hotel and let’s just say it was the best decision we’ve made. Clean, private beach, and most importantly, the staff who are so friendly and helpful! They truly made it feel like a home away from home! Would 100% come back if we visit Zanzibar again in the future!"

Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa - Relais & Chateaux Hotels in Kusini

Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa - Relais & Chateaux

"My stay at the Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Resort & Spa was incredible. The location is just perfect with direct beach access, and I really appreciated how safe it felt – there's security around so nobody bothers you, which makes such a difference. We stayed in one of the villas and honestly, it had everything. Private pool with loungers and hammocks, really good air conditioning, a kitchen with a coffee machine and free soft drinks that got restocked daily. The rooftop with seating areas was our favorite spot for evening drinks. Loved the little touches like proper books in the living room and bedroom, and the mosquito net around the bed meant we slept perfectly. Two showers too – one inside and one outside. The resort itself has a nice boutique, a larger main pool, and a spa that's worth visiting. They use their own cosmetics which smell amazing. The jacuzzi in +30 weather felt a bit weird honestly, but still nice for a quick dip. For anyone who likes to stay active, there's tennis and padel courts, plus a center where you can book kitesurfing lessons and other stuff. We did the Jozani Forest trip and Stone Town tour which the hotel arranged smoothly. But the absolute highlight was the day cruise – snorkeling, landing on a sandbank, and the freshest grilled food prepared right on the yacht. Now let's talk about food because wow. The kitchen here is next level, seriously better than many high-end hotels I've stayed at in Europe. Everything tastes amazing, from the bread and pastries (genuinely better than France) to the butter mixed with local spices, to the steaks and seafood cooked perfectly. The only small thing was the Friday local cuisine night – the food was simpler and not quite at the same standard. But honestly, the live band playing that night was so good and energetic that it totally made up for it and we had a blast anyway. If I had to mention one tiny thing, it's the butler service. We weren't really sure what they were for since the reception team handled everything via WhatsApp super quickly anyway. Not a complaint, just an observation. Overall though, this place is something special. If you want luxury, privacy, and food that will blow your mind, book it."

The Oasis Residence Hotels in Kusini

The Oasis Residence

"It's a new hotel, well-maintained and with every detail. The taste with which it was designed is evident, and the staff takes great care to ensure guests are happy and have everything they need. We traveled as a family, and the villa was perfectly set up with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plenty of space. All of them were located around two pools, nestled in a palm grove, perfect for relaxing. It has a small gym with enough space for sports, and the massages are highly recommended. I went twice, and the women who provide them make you completely relaxed. The only downside is that it's not right on the beach, but you can walk to the beach in a five-minute walk, and for us, that wasn't a problem. If you want, they have a shuttle that takes you to their two sister hotels right on the beach, where you can use their facilities. The hotels are less than five minutes away by shuttle... and are also within walking distance. We were very happy and would repeat the experience."

Aluna Paje ★★★★
"Honestly, from the very first email I exchanged with Iva, I knew I was in for something special, but actually stepping onto the property completely blew me away. Getting to meet Iva in person was fantastic—she is absolutely incredible and personally gave me a wonderful tour of the entire property all the way down to the beach. Her hospitality, along with the rest of the staff, is completely unmatched; everyone greets you with the warmest, most welcoming faces that instantly make you feel at home. The orientation she gave was so thoughtful and detailed, showing just how much they care about making your experience perfect. The rooms are exceptionally neat, spotless, and have a lovely, cozy vibe, complete with an amazing hot shower in a beautiful bathroom. Outside, the property feels like a secret tropical oasis. The gardens are stunningly lush, wrapping around a cool, refreshing swimming pool that is perfect for lounging. But the absolute cherry on top has to be the rooftop; catching the sunset view from up there is pure magic and the perfect way to unwind. To top it all off, the food was spectacular—breakfast was fresh and nice, and dinner was absolutely awesome. It was such a beautiful, seamless experience, and I am already dreaming about going back!"

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."
