Clean room, good Wi-Fi really pretty

The reason I gave this hotel an overall 3 stars is because of the all the begging people on this hotels beach area and walking through the property. The reason you go to Zanzibar is rest and relaxation. The begging people made that nearly impossible for me. They are annoying as hell!!!! The coconut guy makes it his business to annoy you until you give him something to leave you alone. I would not stay here again and definitely choose a hotel with a true private beach area to relax.

Staff were amazing

Wonderful stay. Z2 hotel is lovely and we had access to everything in Z1. I travel a lot and this was my favorite resort stay I’ve ever had. The staff members are WONDERFUL and I felt so lucky to get to know them. Sam, Raheema, Nora, and Abdullah are just a few of the wonderful staff members that made me feel like I was at home.

Room was excellent. We had the third floor pool view at the z2. We found the z2 to be a newer more modern building compared to the z. So even though it wasn’t direct water access, we liked staying the z2 better and using the z during the day. Amazing breakfast buffet. We loved our stay. Gym at the z was excellent also. Had lots of options. Finally location was great. Near by walking distance to all restaurants. We prefer this beach over kendwa as well if had to pick.

We stayed at Z2. Beautiful room (penthouse suite!) Complimentary water everyday. Free WIFI which was very solid. The Marigold restaurant was excellent for Indian food and the breakfast was plentiful and enjoyable. The pool was lovely and often had it on our own. The Z hotel is a short walk from Z2 but always has plenty of sunbeds and two further restaurants. Would absolutely stay there again.

Hotel was great and the beach was beautiful

Room was always clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, especially Aysher. Onsite restaurants, bar service and gym were all great. Front desk also arranged cabs to and from Stone Town and the airport (roughly 1-1/2 hour, $60 trip). A great spot for a beach/pool relaxing vacation. Hot water for showers was an issue, but perhaps common for the Zanzibar region?

The hotel was beautiful, food was amazing and staff were so attentive. Additionally, it was a perfect location and the beach was breathless.

This hotel is beautiful in the most amazing location. The hotel is clean , staff amazing great food and great pool area. Highly recommend Z Hotel also great spa recommend massage had to have two as they were so great and very affordable. Will definitely return

Would highly recommend this hotel. We stayed at Z2 but frequently used the facilities at Z hotel as well. Staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Room was lovely and clean, food all round at all the restaurants was amazing! Best meals we had across our holiday.

Pros: Rooms are very clean and A/C keeps room very cool. Very good spot, close to most thing in town. Pools are really nice. Cons: Long stairs, no elevators. My “pool view balcony” overlooked an ugly rooftop of the restaurant. The restaurant staff was extremely slow, I had to get up and bring things myself after asking multiple times. Access to the beach requires walking out of the hotel and going into a long tight driveway where taxi drivers drove way too fast in and we had to squeeze ourselves between trees. The spa staff was pretty much just sitting around on the couch when we entered but they said they were too busy to take us. Although the security did a good job keeping loitering away from guests, it was very annoying sitting by or going to the beach. Shower is too small for the bathroom, needs to be either bigger or a door needs to be added, since every time we took a shower half of the bathroom floor got wet.

The location is amazing and the food at the Chinammon was delicious; however, I can’t recommend this resort based on the horrible internet service, annoying beach boys trying to sell you stuff on the private beach, and the brief, intermittent power outages throughout the day.

Pros: gym facility, free breakfast, reasonable hotel restaurants and room service. House keeping is excellent, okay wifi, decent AC unit, the beach is beautiful, but VERY BUSY AND NOISY. Cons: the power went out maybe 5x a day, morning and night. The beach isn't private, so there will be A LOT of sellers walking up to you and unfortunately you will be harassed constantly. I made friends with one of the Masai beach boys, but that doesn't stop others from walking up to you every few minutes. The security does their best, but sometimes the beach boys even sneak into the hotel grounds at night.

Wonderful location and amenities. Please note Z and Z2 are separate. Z is the one with most of the amenities.
