The room was cleaned daily, and the evening turndown service was a lovely touch. The staff were exceptional — every single member of the team went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly exceeded expectations. The spa was the best ever.

It was an amazing experience!

An amazing place to stay, right on the beach. The food was exceptional and very safe (even salads), no need to worry about "cook it, peel it, eat it" - just eat it all! We had the all-inclusive which was well worth it, lots of fun cocktails and mocktails that were included. Everyone working there was friendly and professional. They spray against mosquitoes, outside and inside, so we must have seen less than 5 in a whole week. I would recommend booking your own airport transfer as it's easy to find something considerably cheaper than what the hotel would organize. About 70min drive. The beach is huge (at low tide), and you can walk for kilometres. There can be sea urchins, so water shoes are a good idea. Swimming was safe, and more fun at high tide with the waves. Two pools that are well maintained. All in all, a perfect place to stay and relax.

Our stay at Blue Bay Resort was wonderful. The service, food and hospitality was excellent. I however will like to suggest that the male staff pls use deodorant especially when interacting with guest.

I was booked on AL staff are exceptional from the receptionist, porters to waiters. They ensured that our stay was comfortable. They are very friendly, ever smiling and ready to assist when called upon. There was variety of food and entertainment, Zanzibari night was my best. I will come back again and again.

Staff seemed unhappy Although the advertisement says non powered water sports are included that is not true. It is a hike to do anything from the hotel such as boring diving, tours etc Everything is at least an hour away. High tide eliminates the beach. Low tide brings droves of annoying “beach boys” selling everything- they are very persistent and will kill your desire to swim in the sea. Hoses on the beach look nice but know what they will leave behind - nothing done to clear that

Dass, the manager, is an exception to this hotel. We had visited this hotel in 2015 when it was amazing with exceptional members of staff. A few members of the staff still have a colonial attitude and give a service accordingly- expect a substandard service if you are a non- white resident like we are. Packed lunch for an excursion with a special dietary need of a vegetarian meal with no garlic, no onion, no egg, no fish and absolutely no meat was requested for 12 people including 2 children. The packed lunch supplied consisted of: Ham sandwich, boiled egg, egg muffin, egg croissant, apple and bottle of water- four items completely opposite to our needs. The head chef was reminded of our needs at least five times and seemed to be very arrogant about his attitude towards us.

Great beach property. Amazing nice staff

My stay was exquisite!!

Everything was just amazing from friendliness stafx and serve

Beautiful location in NE Zanzibar, gorgeous beach, comfortable room, nice variety of activities including a great pool. Breakfast is excellent; dinner quality varies.

Excellent staff - very friendly and accommodating. Location is great, pool is great. Drink selection for all inclusive is ok, but if you request something, they’ll make it. Beds are comfortable, rooms are nice with a balcony.

This is a beautiful resort and lovely ocean for wading. The drink and food choices on the all inclusive were very nice. The all inclusive is a limited menu, so not exactly all inclusive. Everything had to be ordered through a waiter, who wrote up a ticket that got rang up by a bar tender, then brought to you to be signed when you were finished ordering. Just a slow and lengthy process for items that were already included, but the waiters were very polite and fun. The beer and drinks were tasty: the house wine was not. The reservation said to contact the hotel for arrival assistance and check in procedure, but the emails were not answered, and the call wasn't helpful either. We finally had a native speaker call to be sure we had reservations and ended up finding our own transportation to the facility an hour from Stone Town. Due to the "beach boys" who are waiting for you on the sand, I didn't feel safe or enjoyable to walk the beach as one has to constantly ask the "boys' to stop walking with you. Most were nice but one got angry and yelled. This was even wading out into the water. The hotel had security on the beach in front of the hotel to assist if needed. Just not the free and easy feel I want at a beach. Be sure to take lots of tsh1000, 2000 to use for tipping frequently or you will find it difficult to get change for this. Tip: if you find a waiter that you like, stick with them for the stay in both the restaurant and bar. Also, the entertainment was great!

We had a great time with our family. The staff was very thoughtful and nice. Particularly the staff at the restaurant and drink areas. The housekeeping staff was adequate but never left enough towels of drinking glasses despite us asking for them.

Repeat visit (as we stayed here about 12 years ago as well), still good value and a good choice for a few days break (at the end of a couple of weeks viewing wildlife on the main land). Room was comfortable, and more spacious than most hotel rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was varied. Amenities (not that we used much ) and location seemed good. Will definitely be considering this hotel if we travel to Zanzibar again.

This is a great place to stay on Zanzibar’s northeast coast. The setting is gorgeous, and the rooms are of high standard. The food is also excellent. All in all, a great option.

Loved the African feel of the property, with the luxury of a European resort. Spacious and well laid out, the rooms have plenty of privacy and great aspect.

Stayed with all inclusive, it was overall a really good hotel with good food, drinks and service! Unclear in the beginning with which resturant you could use, but other than that it was really good! Friendly staff and always clean!

Loved the friendliness and warm welcome of the staff. An upgrade of room at check-in was a nice surprise.

The food was amazing. The evening entertainment was wonderful The beach was so beautiful It’s the 2nd visit of ours and we would go again
