The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Meals

I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of food at Zanzibar Beach Resort. The menu offered a good selection that included many Indian dishes as well as traditional Swahili cuisine. The tandoori chicken and fish skewers were personal highlights. The meals were consistently tasty, and every dining experience felt special, especially with the attentive service staff.

Cozy and Comfortable

My room boasted a lovely garden view and was clean and comfortable. The turn-down service in the evenings added a nice touch to my stay. The amenities provided, such as mosquito nets and complimentary toiletries, were greatly appreciated and heightened my comfort throughout my visit.

Family-Friendly Atmosphere

Zanzibar Beach Resort is an ideal destination for families. The pool area was clean and well-maintained, providing plenty of space for kids to play and have fun. There were numerous activities available that catered specifically to children, which made my stay enjoyable and relaxing while my kids were entertained.

Relaxing Environment

I found the pool area to be a great space for relaxation. Surrounded by sand and comfortable loungers, it created a tranquil atmosphere for reading and soaking up the sun. Although the beach wasn't directly part of the resort, I didn't mind as the serene pool provided a perfect escape. The overall ambiance was peaceful, ideal for unwinding after busy days.

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.

Service

The service was generally nice, especially the attentive staff members who made us feel welcome. However, I had a tough experience with the front desk manager who didn't honor my refund request, which left a sour note.

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.

Facilities

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.

Service

Overall, the team, especially Peter, Mary, and Omar, went above and beyond to assist. However, the front desk experience with the manager was frustrating, detracting from an otherwise excellent service.
