Most beautiful location. Excellent service, particularly from Freddie in the restaurant. Food was good. Went on three trips...not sure about the fishing...trying to catch tuna off a tiny boat out at sea was pretty hairy! Decent room. Stonetown rather hectic and very busy.

Siamo stati orientati in questo resort da amici che si sono recati più volte a Zanzibar con l’agenzia Zanzibar Viaggi di Milano a cui ci siamo affidati. Partiamo dall'assistenza all’arrivo in aeroporto che non era presente e solo grazie ad un agente di Francorosso che lì era presente con un proprio helpdesk e si è offerto gentilmente di darci una mano siamo riusciti, dopo alcuni trasbordi, a rintracciare il nostro assistente. Dopo un viaggio di circa un’ora e mezzo con guida discutibile, siamo giunti al Resort ma ci hanno detto che bisognava attende ben 4 ore circa per avere la camera. Sin da subito non abbiamo avuto la sensazione di sentirci coccolati ma al contrario lasciati su un divano senza alcuna informazione e con un semplice bicchiere d’acqua e limone impossibilitati a cambiarci gli abiti invernali con cui eravamo partiti dall’Italia. Alle 14 ci consegnano la camera ma, con somma sorpresa, purtroppo quella sbagliata ovviamente in peius. Dopo vibranti proteste con una insensibile Responsabile alla reception e vari contatti telefonici con l’Agenzia milanese, nel tardo pomeriggio, grazie ad interlocuzioni tra la reception e l'Agenzia, ci hanno dato una tipologia simile a quella prenotata (probabilmente un piccolo upgrade). Cucina accettabile ma niente di eccezionale. Abbiamo dovuto pagare le bibite ai pasti pur essendo ricomprese nel contratto sottoscritto con l’agenzia in quanto non hanno voluto sentire ragioni. Ovviamente l’Agenzia si è guardata bene dal rimborsarci. Il problema risiede nel fatto che il cliente deve saldare tutto in anticipo assumendosi poi il rischio che l’Agenzia non esegua correttamente il relativo contratto. Personale del resort gentile e accorto al limite della sufficienza. Rapporto prezzo qualità non adeguato. In mare antistante il Resort c’erano molte alghe. In buona sostanza non ci tornerei e non consiglierei ad un amico di andare al Karafuu ed affidarsi all’Agenzia Zanzibar Viaggi di Milano che ha fornito durante il soggiorno un’assistenza ritenuta non adeguata.

En vacances familiales pour quelques jours dans cet hôtel soit disant 5 étoiles! Mais où sont-elles??? Le cadre est joli, mais dommage l’hôtel est désuet, chambres plus que vieillottes et pas toujours très propres! Clim ( qui fait un bruit d’avion) à 16 mais pas de vitre à la fenêtre du placard qui sert de « chambre enfant » Donc chaleur étouffante . Mais il paraît que d’après le manager, c’est comme ça en Afrique! Personnel (heureusement pas la majorité mais le manager en fait partie) irrespectueux , qui se moque ouvertement des clients en anglais, pensant que nous ne comprendrons pas. Manque de professionnalisme, et aucune attention bienveillante. À revoir le all inclusive notamment les cocktails très médiocres et un buffet répétitif. Manque carrément de souplesse et d’attention… un départ à 15h, checkout à 10h et plus accès à rien (sauf si vous payez et très cher!) car vous ne faites plus partie de l’hôtel … même pas de chambre de courtoisie prévue permettant de se rafraîchir/changer avant un long voyage… jamais vu ça dans un 5 étoiles. Un climat d’insécurité est véhiculé ne laissant pas la place au repos que nous venions chercher! Très déçus de cette expérience ! Nous ne reviendrons certainement pas et ne le conseillons pas!

Excellent accueil du personnel, hôtel bien situé, jardins magnifiques , chambres propres mais à rafraîchir prochainement, beaucoup d’activités proposées, restauration variée et correcte, seule la formule All Inclusive est à revoir en terme d’organisation et choix assez limité. Merci à tout le personnel de l’hôtel, des gens d’une gentillesse XXL. Je recommande la séance de massage avec vue sur la mer proposé par l’hôtel, très agréable, le prix est justifié par la prestation et le service. Seul bémol: le cabinet médical à l’entrée du complexe qui pratique des tarifs abusifs. Chouette hôtel mais ce n’est pas un 5 étoiles comme en France.

This is a 5* hotel with 3* hotel quality. Probably long time ago this was one of the best hotels in Zanzibar but it is clear they are letting it to rot. The room quality is pretty basic and nothing to do with 5*. Air conditioning that does not have enough power to cool the room, bed clothing and curtains that are pretty old and completely outdated, a single chair in the room and is broken, etc. Also at night there are a number of power outages in the complex which we have not experienced in other hotels in Tanzania even in the middle of Serengeti!! The all inclusive is not worth it, absolutely rubbish alcohol, and clearly set up for you to pay if you want to drink something decent. It is surprising that they do include small bottles of water in the all inclusive but not big ones. Also you can only get them in the bar but not at the restaurants or at the pool so you need to go upstairs to the bar to get the bottle and go back to the pool, why?? Apart from the pizzas of the Italian restaurant, the food is average an the variety is minimal. The staff is generally friendly and welcoming but they have a terrible customer service, if you complain about something the manager hides at the back and let the staff deal with it... Obviously your issue is not solved. The check out process is one of the most complicated I have ever seen. We leave at 13.00 so we asked to keep the room until 12.00 to have a shower before departure. Even in low season with the hotel half empty they made us abandon the room at 10.00 and would not give us a complimentary one. It was even a problem to keep a couple of towels to stay at the pool. Pretty exhausting to be honest having to talk to the reception 4 times about this and get no solution at all. In summary the worst 5* hotel we have ever been (and we have been in a number of them in 5 continents). We will not come back or recommend it.

Nous avons passé 10 jours au Karafuu, L'hôtel est très bien, la plage est magnifique, il y a un ponton à marée basse (prévoir les chaussures de plage - sol glissant) pour rejoindre le lagon Un grand merci à l'équipe Kappa (Sandrine, Rachid et Omar) pour leur accueil, leur sourire et leur gentillesse ce qui rend les vacances encore plus géniale. Pour les excursions n'hésiter à faire appel à Julio sur la plage (polo rose), l’organisation de ses excursions sont au top et moins cher qu'à l’hôtel. Point négatif, il nous demande notre n° de chambre à chaque commande et le prix pour la chambre de courtoisie est exorbitant (environ 100$, on a du rendre notre chambre à 10h pour un départ de l’hôtel à 18h)

Nachdem ich schon einige Male auf Zanzibar war, kann ich sagen dass dies einer der schönsten Urlaube hier war. Das Personal ist immer sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Die ganze Anlage ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, so auch die Zimmer/Bungalows. Hiermit auch ein herzliches Dankeschön an das Management, das immer ein offenes Ohr für ihre Gäste hat. Auch das Essen war durchweg ein tägliches Highlight. Ich würde jederzeit an diesen Ort zurück kommen. Grüße aus Köln/Deutschland!

Wir waren im März 24 in dieser traumhaften Anlage. Es war ein toller Urlaub. Im ganzen Hotel herrschte eine sehr entspannte Atmosphäre und die Angestellten haben durch ihre gute Laune und Hilfsbereitschaft die Zeit sehr angenehm gemacht. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne und liebevoll eingerichtete Suite am Strand. Alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Essen war hervorragend und abwechslungsreich. Danke an das Management. Sie machen ihren Job mit Herzblut und waren immer für alle Fragen und Anliegen da. Wir wären gern länger, für immer, geblieben.
