Overall the Zuri was outstanding- we could not fault anything. We’re not buffet fans - however the quality, choice and freshness of each buffet was exceptional. There were also other dining options - the al a carte restaurant is super and we enjoyed an amazing beach BBQ. You will not be disappointed with the food. The resort was well laid out meaning the villas are very private. The villas themselves are gorgeous and very comfortable- inclusive of an air conditioning system for the bed - which we’ve never seen before and was appreciated. The cleaning and turn down was to a very high standard. The beach is amazing as are the sunsets and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment provided at sunset. The highlight was the pool - it’s great and definitely ranks in our top 3 pools from any resort. It’s a proper pool for swimming and there are plenty of beds and shade so it never felt busy. Finally the staff - wow - friendly, attentive and just brilliant. We were so sad leaving this resort as we enjoyed it so much and we hope to return one day.

Beautiful, serene property. Very private. Staff were amazing and went well above and beyond!

Exceptional resort with lush tropical gardens, stunning beach and great stuff , welcoming and always ready to assist! The rooms/ bungalows are simply stunning as well. The perfect place with the most delicious seafood!

The resort grounds and facilities are excellent and it must be set on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Food was good- mostly buffet style- but outside of your meal plan the food and drinks are expensive in comparison to other places on the island (twice the price of what we paid at our first resort). The rooms are average size but have a lovely spacious patio with chairs and hammock. A sun lounger would have been a nice addition. The staff are super friendly but overall we found the resort to be quite impersonal which was a bit disappointing especially compared with the resort we stayed at for our first week. The resort is reportedly being sold and there are plans to build over the Spice Garden area. It will be interesting to see how this changes the ambience and crowdedness of the resort in the future.

Amazing

We chose Zuri for the second week of our honeymoon, as we wanted some luxury after a busy week on safari in Kenya and we were not dissappointed! This is truly one of the best hotels we have stayed at, from the beautiful rooms (we stayed in a standard bungalow), to the absolutely exceptional standard of food across all of fhe restaurant options at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The buffet breakfast is without doubt the best buffet breakfast we have experienced, a vast range of choices which change slightly day to day. We generally chose to eat a light lunch either on the beach or by the pool each day, the standard of which was also excellent. We ate at both the buffet dinner and also at the A L Carte, both of which were fantastic. We also chose to book the "Romantic dinner" on the beach for our last night which was also a wonderful private dining experience. We also booked a couples massage at the spa which was very enjoyable. The hotel offers 2 daily wellness sessions included with all boards basis, we took part in the yoga sessions which was a lovely way to start the day, as well as making use of the gym. We also went on the "spice tour", a tour of the Zuri spice garden, which was very interesting. Both the private beach and pool area were absolutely beautiful, with more than enough sun beds for the guests. Finally, the level of service from every single member if staff was exceptional, everyone was extremely attentive and very friendly. We would definitely book again!

Absolutely stunning property and gardens, and the service was incredible.

What you want in a lodge and more! The experience was prefect! The staff made you feel like the place was built just for you! The food was first class and pretty fancy! If I ever need just need a time to unwind and relax it will be here!

The resort is so beautiful and located on one of the best beach fronts of Zanzibar however, the service was terrible one of the worst check in/out experiences they are very slow and made so many mistakes in our bill we had to spend 45min during check out. The rooms cleaning are not really good and I had to go back to them several times to re do the work. The food is below average .. its really a shame that services were not up to the standards of this beautiful property

The place exudes luxury everywhere! Absolutely loved the moon shower experience with no fear of being exposed as the villa is all engulfed in a vegetation facade! The room itself is carefully laid out in a very thoughtful way with an air con system that flows through the bed for a slumber I didn’t want to get out of! The bedding was exquisite! It has a very spacious balcony with a hammock and some chairs. I got to be transported for meals in a buggey! I felt like royalty! I didn’t want to leave the villa honestly but had to grudgingly! Will definitely go back without even a thought! The place is to die for!!!!!!!

Amazing services added to the property. Eco friendly. Beach amazing. Just when we asked for milk to the room they did not bring it. Food is not that great at the buffet restaurant. Gym is not a gym, some outdoor park that needs work. Security is great at the beach. Service with drinks are great. Evening sunset experience is fantastic. Resort and room and plantation is to die for. My favorite beach in Zanzibar.

Great place & location!

The rooms and property are beautiful and every staff member was super friendly and attentive. The only downside is if you leave the property and take a walk on the beach you are hounded by people trying to sell you crap. One guy literally followed me for miles. I would go back in a heartbeat but wouldn’t leave the property.

The property was EXACTLY as it appeared on the website. Beautiful grounds, including the spice garden. HUGE bungalows and being surrounded by beautiful foliage. Clean beach and easy access to the ocean. Great staff. Two blue monkeys resident in the trees. GIANT African snails all over. The food was so good. Menus changed often and I was there for one week. Accommodating staff make arrangements to see things away from the property such as tours of Jozani Forest, Stone Town and Prison Island to see the giant tortoises.

Top quality result with understated but top quality accommodation, excellent food and outstanding customer service from all members of the team. I could not rate it overall a top score because one element spoilt the total experience for us. The beach is white sand, with clear waters, but certainly not relaxing much of the time. With good reason the beach is not private. Given that it is one of the best on the island, therefore there are a lot of passing visitors. The hotel does restrict them from coming in to the property. The issue is the conveyor belt of hawkers trying to sell. They stand looking at the guests on the sunbeams, and as soon as you go for a swim, pounce on you. Add to this, impromptu african dance routines (again looking for tips), and jet skis. A great beach for people watching, but not the best a lot of the time for total relaxation and to enjoy the beauty. Not, I would stress the hotels fault. We felt that the whole threat of over tourism is a big problem on the island and needs to be addressed urgently by the Government.

Beautiful property, delicious food, great service, and an absolutely perfect beach. It was an ideal place to relax for a few days after safari.

The resort is top notch. Highly recommended.

Amazing property and great service!

Beautiful Place Too expensive beverages!!
