What Guests Say About Their Stay

I stayed for three nights as a solo traveler in one of the garden suites. Overall, I think this is an excellent resort that is affordable, clean, with a gorgeous beach very friendly staff I did not do full board but was able to order off the lunch menu for dinner and overall the food was good. I saw snakes, huge centipedes, lots of different species of fish, hermit crabs bush babies, and other types of lizards. I think this would be really cool if your child is into animals. If you’re interested in snorkeling, bring your own mask. There is only one at the resort and it’s quite scratched up. Also- bring sunscreen as it’s $50USD at the resort. Also, the beach is not really accessible if you’re handicapped because the one stair to the ocean is several feet from the sand and you have to jump off of it. The hotel is only about 30 minutes from Stonetown in the airport which makes it really convenient if you are only there for a few days. I had a massage, which was excellent. I booked through Expedia so I got 20% off of spa service and a free drink. I will definitely be back with my family.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We always looked forward to the meals because the food was delicious and great conversation with the staff. They made us feel at home, I wished we had stayed longer! It was my fiance’s birthday and they made it as special as possible, they made him his favourite dish and had a birthday song performance that left him beaming from ear to ear. It was truly a memorable stay at Zanzi. A beautiful hideaway from the world, the villa was spectacular and private. We look forward to coming back again.

We stayed in a beautiful villa at Zanzi Resort with its own private pool and the setting and surroundings are stunning. However, what let it down is the dinner menu on both nights. We were presented with a five-course tasting menu but no matter how you dress it up, 'sticky chicken wings with fries' for a main course does not fall under a fine dining experience. This is the type of dish one expects to have at a fast food restaurant and not at a five-star resort like Zanzi. Even on the first night, I found the stuffed aubergine with chicken main course to be very stodgy. The dinner service on the first night was excellent but on the second night, it was a bit haphazard as we were served the wrong items and also dishes were served very late. The jetty at the resort offers stunning views, including a beautiful sunset.

Loved it! It was stunning and the staff were so friendly! Rashid, Alexandra and Emmanuel made our stay so much more relaxing and fun as they were super helpful. As a Muslim couple, we cared about privacy a lot. And this provided exactly what we were looking for. We had booked the ocean access private villa with a pool. We are definitely thinking of coming back.
