"The hotel was lovely, staff were always very friendly with a smile. Our room was very spacious and had everything we needed. Food was excellent, with a good choice of vegetarian food at the main buffet. It was a shame the pool bar food lacked vegetarian selection as did the Al a carte restaurants. Pool staff and entertainment team were great, there was no pressure to join activities if you didn’t want to. Thoroughly enjoyed our time."

"Great location right on the water. Very well priced for a great experience in Nungwi. Nothing bad to say about the place. Beds are pretty firm, but thsts pretty standard for Zanzibar and most Southern African places (that are not 5 stars and super expensive). Would definitely come back again"

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"

"Very nice stay at Amazing beach hotel! Staff are exceptional and made the experience much more enjoyable for me and my family. Property kept well. Perfect for solo travelers but even for a small family. Restaurants very close with good food. Waking up to the view of the beach was incredible. Highly recommend, I would definitely return myself! A+👌 ⚠️ A word of warning the Property only accept cash, so you will have to pay for your stay at the reception, not through Expedia or any other booking site. There was abit of confusion when I arrived and I had to pay again in cash but currently waiting for a refund from expedia, so it all worked out. Just letting you know to avoid this happening to someone else. ⚠️"

"I had an amazing stay at Zenobia Beach Resort. The service was excellent, and everyone was so kind and welcoming from the moment | arrived. The resort is right on the beach with a beautiful view, and the à la carte breakfast was a great start to each day. Glory, the hotel manager, was wonderful and made sure everything ran smoothly. I also want to mention Ali, our tour guide, was friendly and made my experience even better. My only complaint is it had bad water pressure"
