WoW, definitely an amazing resort to stay while you're visiting beautiful Zanzibar. As the oldest resort on the island/in the area, definitely couldn't tell. The grounds are very well kept, rooms are cozy and absolutely beautiful. We stayed in the Romantic Villa, The Level and it was definitely worth it. Separate from the other rooms providing privacy, but just a short walk from everything. Carts are available for transport around the property considering its massive size. Would have enjoyed a little more variety on the dining options. After the third day, the menus/buffets became repetitive. The staff is amazing! Everyone was so accommodating and eager to help in any way. I love the mantra "Hakuna Matata". For them it's more than just a line from a movie, but really a way of life. Everyone is so peaceful and live in harmony. A bit of anxiety at night with the large water bugs outside and geckos, but honestly we only saw a few during our 6 day stay. Our room came with personal can of bug/insect spray. Beware of the giant snails if you're out walking at night! LoL, they are completely harmless, but definitely a sight to see if you're not used to it. Guest Services at the main property and The Level are the best! They set up dinner reservations for you and check on you via WhatsApp. Really nice touch to have a special cake prepared for our wedding anniversary. A bit far from city center Stone Town - (1 hr). Travel and taxi can get expensive.This will be the only place we stay!

Melia was a beautiful hotel with a very cosy room. The room was modern designed, private and was very comfortable. It offered the perfect solo retreat for me.
A few observations, the level had signs that said adults only yet saw alot of children playing around the pool and breakfast there.
2ndly i think the front desk lady has to educate guests about the advantages of the level properly and not only the map of the premises. I felt like i missed out on a few priviledges the level offered that i wasnt informed about.
3rdly i feel the level guests should have access to the beach cabanas on a first come first serve basis. After paying almost 800 pounds for one night stay i thought it was abit weird to still be charged to use the beach cabana bed for only 30min when i wanted to one morning.
The pier food was just o, i had higher expectations
The overall hotel premises is nice and cosy and i would stay here again.

The property is beautiful and spacious. Unfortunately, our shower never heated properly despite multiple requests to the front desk. Maintenance came several times to address the water heater, but it wasn’t fully resolved until our last day, which was the fourth day of our stay.

We arrived to our garden view room and it had a strong smell of mildew.
We also could hear every word of the couple staying in the room across from ours as they were having a a highly emotional argument.
We also found out that our all inclusive was not really all-inclusive, there were several restrictions such as room service is not included.
We quickly realized this entire place was overrated and over priced.
With all of that we decided we wanted to upgrade since we were already there and all the other resorts were booked. Khalfa, the hotel manager at the time, gave us a very hard time getting an upgrade. Hotels.com was no help either. We were willing to pay the difference between what we paid for our room and the new room which was around $250/night. Khalfa instead charged us more than double that and said it was hotel policy to add an upgrade fee of an extra $300/night regardless of the difference in price...with no consideration of our initial experience.
Our new room was better... Did not have the mildew problem but we also didn't have the sea view as advertised and it was really hot in the room... We could never cool the room down sufficiently.
Food was ok, drinks were ok, beach was nice but several steps to climb to get there.
Don't come here if you're looking to have any fun... This resort is strictly for relaxation. The transportation cost from hotel to other areas like Stone Town was more expensive than we expected($50 each way for a 40min ride).

Be aware that there are tiers to the "all inclusive", and you pay extra for anything outside of your tier. Food options are not that great at all restaurants, especially buffet. Customer service is great around hotel, albeit some servers seeming overworked and over it. Rooms are nice layout but the mattress was extremely hard/stiff, bathroom had repairs that are noticably bad work (paint different color from rest of wall over a patched area, corners with discolored caulking) - which are strange for 5 star hotels. Nothing really in surrounding area, but property is large and has a lot of walking areas.

This property markets false advertisement, this establishment is not an all inclusive, everything has an extra charge which they don’t tell you until you have already checked in. They need to do a better job of spraying for mosquitos and other insects. The beds were hard as rocks. Be prepared for an abundance of flies everywhere including in the restaurants whether indoors or out.

Excellent stay. Staff was wonderful. The food was excellent. The property was clean. My husband and I stayed 10 days. We upgraded to the Level it was a good deal. Better food options, beach access, it was well worth it. BTW to enter Zanzabar you must have a Visa if you are from the USA . Overall the stay was wonderful.

Beautiful property, excellent food, staff was friendly, room was in great shape with excellent amenities (had one villa and one regular hotel room), pools very good (we were in "Level" area), food service, internet good (not great, but most video streaming worked sufficiently), only drawback was no on-site water sports: beware of the guys on the beach as they were not very reliable on jet skiing and others. Referral for Kibwana Divers (office 20 minutes away) was excellent.

We had our honeymoon at Meliá Zanzibar and had the best time. What we thought that really made the hotel exceptional was the service, staff, amenities (pools, beach), food and the grounds were all fantastic. We were made to feel very much at home. The staff were all friendly, attentive, and welcoming. They really made our stay very special. We have nothing but fantastic memories of Melia Zanzibar.
