I had an amazing experience at this resort! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, thanks to the attentive staff. The room we stayed in was spacious and offered breathtaking views, perfect for a relaxing getaway. However, the beach did have its moments where the tides were low, which could limit swimming. Overall, it was a fantastic value for our stay, and I would highly recommend it.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The beautiful view and the warm hospitality from the staff, especially during Ramadhan, made the experience memorable. However, the dining options were somewhat underwhelming, and I encountered issues with the pool cleanliness and beach access. Overall, it was a charming resort, but improvements in dining and maintenance would elevate the experience significantly.

Rooms

The rooms had a certain charm with local decor, but they felt a bit stuffy and had an unusual smell, probably from insect repellent. They were affordable, which is a plus.

Location

The hotel is in a lovely setting right by the beach, which is a great plus. However, I was disappointed to find that when the tide was high, we couldn't access the beach safely, and the area around the local mangrove wasn't safe either.
Dining

The food quality was just okay, and breakfast options were a bit boring for my taste. It felt like they could do better in providing variety and flavor in their dishes.

The facilities included a large swimming pool, but I noticed it lacked proper maintenance, and the water didn't seem fresh. It's unfortunate, as it could be a great spot for relaxation.

Zanzibar Resort Beach offered a peaceful getaway with stunning garden views and proximity to the sea, though swimming at the beach isn't possible. The professionalism and warmth of the staff made the experience memorable, particularly the personalized service and attention to guest welfare. The rooms had some minor issues with moisture and maintenance but the overall ambiance was pleasant, complemented by good food and effective conference facilities. Some challenges with insect presence and limited breakfast options were noted, but it was still a wonderful stay overall.

Rooms

The rooms provided lovely garden views but had a slightly musty smell and needed some upkeep, especially the bathroom. The evening turn-down service was a nice touch.
