"The place is great for a retreat. The lodges are spaceful, with air and view, very unique. In addition, I especially enjoyed the service from the Manager Martin: I had told him I was arriving late and couple sandwiches were waiting at my room so that I wouldn't go to bed with an empty stomach. And I asked him to organize for me a fishing party which he did fantastically and for a very reasonable price. I went early morning an hour out from the coast fishing Tuna with good and experienced guys....

Fruit & Spice Wellness Resort Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay a this resort. We stayed in the honeymoon villa and it was beautiful. Jacuzzi, pool, and private entrance into the ocean and beach. The highlight was Saturday night dinner and entertainment on the resort beach. We tried some amazing dishes and staff was friendly. My personal favorites were the fried king fish and chicken biryani. I did get food poisoning half way through our stay but it passed within 2 days and the food tasted great. There was a mandatory twice a day clean and spray for pests, which we did appreciate. Julius was an amazng help our entire stay. The only complaints were the fees. We booked full board and that did not include drinks like water. We were also charged a $5 per person/per day tax fee. Also a fee for food not included as well as an additional 10% tax on all food and drinks not included. There was also a $10 fee if you wanted room service. Seemed like a money grab, we spent over $300 after paying 2k for the villa. Alcoholic drinks were inconsistent. Water was leaking form AC. I would recommend still but they could make some adjustments."

The Oasis Residence

10/10 Excellent

"Recently stayed here and everything was better than I could have imagined. From check in through our stay everything was just amazing. The staff were all helpful, special thanks to Wada ( always interacting with all guests and always smiling), Joshua, Kevin can't thanks you all enough for making our stay more than amazing. The staff danced for me on my birthday and gave me a suprise cake. Even though it rained they still danced out in the rain. Made my day so so amazing and special. Thank you again. The accommodation was clean and located in a good and wonderful are. Close to local shops and then getting the free shuttle to the sister hotel was lovely. Many Thanks to you all."

Blue Reef Sport and Fishing Lodge & Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Relaxed beyond words during our stay @ Blue Reef. This place is a vibe…chill. Luxuries abound in our rooms (we stayed in the apartment). So much space for our family of 4 to really spread out and regroup after a week of safari in northern Tanzania. Snorkeling right from the hotel was perfect for the kids. The breakfasts were spot on for everyone in our group of picky eaters to find their favorites…GREAT COFFEE!!! The staff is laid back and welcoming while also taking care of business. We’ll be back!"

The Residence Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"The Residence was the perfect spot to celebrate my 40th birthday. The deluxe garden view with the private pool was exact atmosphere my husband and I were looking for. The hotel is extremely clean and they even offer room cleanings twice a day. And we also loved the different themed dinner options each night along side with a live band performance! The staff make you feel at home and apart of the family. Nico always greeted us with a warm smile and helped us capture precious moments. The location is a little far from main attractions but I promise it’s worth it. Thank you to all the staff that made our visit to Zanzibar so special!♥️"

Mandarin Resort Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at this charming hotel. Its in a good location, and right on the beach making it easy to explore the local attractions, take boat trips and visit the nearby village. The staff were all really helpful, attentive and friendly. The pool and grounds are well maintained and the rooms spacious, clean and comfortable. The delicious food was fresh, locally sourced and plentiful - we sampled it all. We particularly enjoyed the floating breakfast on our last morning. Entertainment was good too, and was delivered with enthusiasm. A particular highlight for us was the African evening, the fire eating was seriously impressive! The team clearly work well together to create a relaxed, uncomplicated atmosphere for their guests, we felt very much at home. Highly recommended."
