Great location with a few minute walk to the beach or direct access down the stairs during low tide! The staff were great and they were also able to organize all the activities I wanted on the spot like local fishing and sunset sailing. This was the perfect place to relax for a few days at the end of the trip!

This hotel offers a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere with beautifully kept grounds, attentive staff, delicious menu items, and beautiful ocean views. It is very close to the bustling Nungwi area, where you will find shopping, restaurants, and fun boating trips, or you can simply enjoy the pool and lounge area, volleyball, and other activities. Great hotel for anyone seeking a breezy relaxing vacation. I had a great time!

The room was a ‘love shack’ on the beach which was nice, stepped out straight onto the sand with nice sea views. Staff were friendly and it has a pool. The inside layout of the room is totally open (no door on the toilet just a half partition wall) so you’re in for an intimate stay! The rest of the hotel felt confused, there are surfing motifs as decorations, it’s for families (lots of kids) so it’s not quiet and romantic; the food was unfortunately the worst we had any hotel we stayed in Zanzibar. We also wished we stayed closed to Nungwi as we had to spend $10 each way on a taxi. It’s the one hotel we wouldn’t stay again sadly. Loads of potential I just think they need to figure out their ‘vibe’.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean. However, it was disappointing that the pool was salt water and small especially considering that at this time of year there is no beach due (I gather from the staff) to the wind direction and depending on the tide it can be a fair walk to the sea. We had problems with our AC, the staff were helpful in getting it working but it was not very efficient. The resort prides itself on sustainable eco friendly tourism which is absolutely great so I was surprised when the waitress brought us bottled water (for $2.50 US) at dinner rather than a jug of the bulk mineral water (free) which the manager had shown me to cut down on plastic bottles. The ambiance of the resort is good and the location on the edge of Nungwi is a great mix of quiet with lively restaurants close by.

the room was good, however, we were there for 2 nights, the room was okay but we experienced power outages constantly through out our stay, at one point the power was out for at least 3 hours, i was told it was due to the area outages but they advertise having generators so that did not make sense to us, since we came during peak hot season. also the menu was the same for the 2 days we were there and I was not informed that soda's were not part of the full board package that we paid for. we could not utilize the beach due to corals and sea urchins. not a kids friendly hotel,

We stayed at the Zanzibari for 8 nights and we were very happy with our suite, very spacious and quite clean but not so happy about the service as it has been quite slow and the food menu has been the same all over our stay. We would have appreciated better choice and variety for breakfast and dinner. We appreciated the late check out free of charge but we have never been asked how was our stay, if everything was ok.

We stayed for 4 nights as a family of four in the Bustani Suite and had a wonderful experience. The suite was very spacious with comfortable beds, and it was cleaned daily to a high standard. The staff were exceptionally polite and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was a real highlight each day, with fresh and delicious fruit and juices that we all looked forward to. The hotel itself is beautifully situated in a quiet and peaceful area, with stunning ocean views that added to the relaxed atmosphere. We felt safe and very well looked after throughout our stay. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable and stress-free—we hope to return again!

Start with the hotel was beautiful! I was walking with a complementary juice. The staff was so nice and welcoming to me and they took my luggage and show me my room and later I had dinner which was amazing and their breakfast is also good. I only stayed for one night but it was a wonderful experience. The property has amazing views and a great to sun bathe. Definitely a Top stay in the Zanzibar area!

Great place to stay in Zanzibar, in front of the beach. Staff is really good and does everything to serve. Location is walkable to restaurants and stores, through the beach or street. It was not a problem for us, but variety on breakfast is limited (at least the days we stayed there). This is a place to return.

The staff at the Zanzibari hotel were exceptionally attentive and the service was always prompt. In a place where the main beach can be over run with tourists, it was such a pleasure to step into the quiet oasis that is the Zanzibari hotel grounds. This is a great gem of a property in Nungwi and would only improvements would be to upgrade the quality of the food, which was "safe" but very bland and to upgrade the plumbing issues in unit OC1.
