Solo travel

I truly enjoyed my stay at Coral Rock. It was a beautiful intimate location. The staff went above and beyond making sure I enjoyed my trip since I was traveling solo. I loved the design and attention to detail. I’m already planning my return.

I choose Coral Rock because it was an oceanfront, had a restaurant, a party scene, a pool and nice rooms. The staff was friendly and customer service was great. As a solo traveler most importantly I felt safe. The rooms were clean and had everything except a phone, face towels, a refrigerator, conditioner or a TV. Luckily, I didn’t need those things I was there to try the local food as well attempt to rest and relax. If you want to go out in the city you can walk but if you want to go to Paje were it’s more touristy they can help you find a driver and they are pretty cheap they will even wait for you if you ask. The property has many relaxing place chill but on mondays it comes alive. They have a Dj, hookah and food made to order so be ready to dance and make new friends.

Wanted something different and quiet from the north side and enjoyed my time here for some rest and relaxation. Going out to the beach in low tide was excellent.

A eviter

Hôtel à éviter si vous cherchez la tranquillité. Nous sommes malheureusement arrivés un lundi et ce jour là c’est « party », musique à fond jusqu’à 4h du matin (on ne sait d’ailleurs pas pour qui car il n’y avait personne à l’hôte). Concernant les chambres, nous avions au départ une très belle chambre avec vue sur mer sauf qu’il a plu et que la chambre a rapidement été inondée à cause de fuite sur le toit. Nous avons eu une deuxième chambre dans laquelle nous ne sommes pas restés non plus car l’éclairage ne fonctionnait pas. Nous avons donc eu une troisième chambre où là c’est la climatisation qui ne fonctionnait pas… bref nous devions restés 2 nuits et sommes partis dès le lendemain matin. A noter que l’hôtel a tout de même fait le geste de nous offrir le dîner de la veille. Dommage qu’il y ait autant de dysfonctionnements car l’hôtel a une très belle vue sur la mer et une belle piscine

Very disappointing

The food was very nice and value for money. The Room was very disappointing.It was not as shown on their website. The entire room was smelling like mold and it was impossible to sleep as the A/C was also not working properly. The price was too expensive for what I got.

The most unique thing was their racism.... Staff went to the same school of racial discrimination... I have no more words to express my mistreatment. And them not even wanting to accept that they do have a problem that needs to be properly addressed is a big shame..

Idyllic place but power and air condition issues

There was too many issues with power. Some days power would be there for 10 min and then go off for 2 min and this would continue a whole night. Every time the air condition would have to be turned on manually. Other nights the power would be there but the air condition was running but not cooling just blowing air.

Wow we loved coral rock. It was beautifully clean. All The Staff are so so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The situation is outstanding. Quite a few Maasai on the beach are very friendly and certainly there is minor pester power there but if you say Hapana Asanté which means no thank you, they then stop bothering you. Another tip is to learn some Swahili and use it as much as possible. The hotel dining is lovely and great food. You have to wait about an hour for your food anywhere you eat which for us we loved because it gives you a chance to relax , take in the surroundings and drink the amazing array of smoothies on offer. This goes for all restaurants. The food is cooked fresh which takes time. The seaweed is no problem certainly this time of year. Ridiculous to expect a hotel to clear the sand in front of the hotel because it is part of the locals revenue. I would not hesitate to book through Expedia and stay in Coral Rock. The pool is fairly small but beautifully clean and doesn’t seem to get over busy at all. There are plenty of sun beds and umbrellas. Rooms are compact but clean . Good mosquito nets. This time of year we didn’t have malaria tablets and only saw 1 mosi !!! We did use mosquito bands though but didn’t need them. . Please go to Zanzibar support the local economy and don’t forget you are in a 3rd world country so don’t complain and just relax and enjoy.

A beautiful hotel with an amazing view of the Jambiani beach. The pool is amazing and it serves well when the tide is low. The rooms are good, could be improved but the cleaning service was on point. They provide beach towels as well and take good care of their guests. In the complex of the hotel there is an italian restaurant as well whose personnel I cannot recommend enough. We had breakfast there almost every day and lunch and dinner couple of times. The food was delicious. Overall, a great experience and I would love to go back. If not for else, the view from the hotel was out of this world.

An Ocean boutique hotel worth a stay

The road leading to the accommodation doesn't really inspired you with hope but once inside you're in another world , the pool is what my partner has wanted for a long time to swim in an infinite pool which so well with the wonderful colours of the sea

On the Rock

Stedet svarte til navnet. Eksotisk å spise på en klippe rett over bølgene som slår mot klippene rett under deg. Stor forskjell på flo og fjære, noe som gjør at du må planlegge bading og turer på stranden.

Laatste dagen van onze vakantie super afgesloten!

De laatste vier nachten van onze rondreis door Tanzania en Zanzibar hebben we hier afgesloten. In het begin waren we wat huiverig omdat we slechte recensies lazen, deze bleken echter te gaan over de kwaliteit van het hotel voordat er een nieuwe eigenaar in het hotel zat. Wij werden hartelijk ontvangen het spraken ook meteen met de nieuwe eigenaar. Zij heette ons warm welkom en we kregen een rondleiding door het complex. Coral Rock is een kleinschalig complex, waardoor je je er meteen thuis voelt. Het is een prachtig hotel, met een super uitzicht op zee. Heerlijk gegeten in het restaurant, waar heerlijk seafood en Italiaans op de kaart staat.

La médiocrité de la nourriture...

L’hotel est bien situé et le personnel est charmant. En revanche, notre air conditionné était cassée et surtout la nourriture est lamentable ! Nous avons mal mangé le midi et le petit déjeuner est une honte ! L’hotel ne vaut vraiment pas le prix demandé !

The Coral Rock is a wonderful hotel with a great infinity pool, chairs, and restaurant overlooking the gorgeous Jambiani coast. The hotel was recently changed to new management, and they have done a great job with the place (unfortunately i just dont know what it was like before the new management). The rooms were clean and well done, air conditioning works great, there is wifi at the restaurant, etc. The new (part italian management) also meant that the food was wayy better than my expectations. Overall, we loved our stay there and would absolutely go back. My one complaint would be about billing and change. The bills often come out different than what you ordered and you can pretty much guarantee that either your bill will be slightly off, they wont have the right amount of change, or that the card reader "isnt working today but will be back tomorrow". I have no idea where the money goes, but even when you see them handle the right amount of change from another customer, they wont have change when you need it. Other comments include: they didn't actually have any of the wind surfing equipment, petal board, or kayaks that other travelers had commented about (and that we were looking forward to)

Kleines Hotel mit TOP Aussicht aufs Meer

Das Hotel liegt sehr gut und schön. In der Nähe gibt es Restaurants und kleine Läden. Das Wasser ist klar, Ebbe und Flut wunderschön zu beobachten. Leider war die Matraze nicht bequem, das Bad zwar gross aber nicht gut geputzt. Essen: leider war das Essen oft unterschiedlich zubereitet und schmeckte auch anders, obwohl dieselbe Mahlzeit bestellt wurde. Auswahl auf der Menükarte war ausreichend. Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.
