Our stay at Diamonds Mapenzi Beach had several positive aspects. The location is good, the pool area is nice, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the stay. That said, there are a few points worth being aware of. The rooms appear more worn in reality than the pictures suggest, which detracts from the overall impression. In addition, the food unfortunately falls below expectations. Considering the price, the culinary experience could have been significantly better. This becomes particularly noticeable when compared to similar hotels in destinations such as the Seychelles or Cape Verde, where the food standard is often higher within the same price range. It is also worth mentioning that the Hotels.com Gold benefits (Early/Late checkout, Upgrade) do not seem to apply here (even when listed on confirmatio). However, this appears to be more an issue with Hotels.com rather than the hotel itself. Overall, a perfectly acceptable place to stay, but somewhat overpriced for the experience it offers.

House keeping was amazing always friends and polite Spa was very good although they are renovating new spa im sure it will be amazing

Fantastic stay and lovely hotel. Still some building works ongoing but didn’t really impact our stay too much. Great entertainment in evening and food was good. Animation team day activities could be improved as never really tell you what’s on and where and most of the time the activities never even happen despite seeing loads of animation team around the hotel.

It is a great resort but there are several things which you should consider: 1. Dining - being a vegetarian, I found the options were limited. The chef tried hard to create some additional options but it did not change much. There are not many good restaurants nearby so you are out of options. 2. They are experimenting with pricing - food prices can change from day to day. Pizza was $7 one day and $15 next day 3. The food is expensive. 4. There are a lot of stairs which cant be avoided - no lifts. If any one has mobility issues, consider that you will have to go down or up at least 50 stairs from the entrance to your room 5. Service is good but inconsistent. You may see inconsistent housekeeping 6. They are not very transparent with pricing. Buffet dinner was supposed to be $35 but at checkout it was charged in local currency eq of $40. The bill was in local currency and converted back to USD which cost us even more. 7. Infinity pool closes at 6. Spa closes at 6 or earlier. The beach is gorgeous. The resort is clean and everyone is polite, helpful and nice. Spa is pricy but good.

I stayed in one of the beach villas with private pool. I had an amazing stay, it was a dream come true. The staff is so wonderful, friendly and thoughtful, and they go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy.

Fun resort with many different daily activities for families. Set on the fantastic east coast of Zanzibar, Diamonds Mapenzi gives you access to a beautiful beach with warm water and sports (additional charge). Food tasted good and staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Would stay here again

Great resort, nice clean hotel, great staff. realy good food

Loved all, staff in particular! Food, location, accommodation and especially the personal service received…. Carry on what you are doing, great structure and team going beyond

A fantastic hotel with the most exceptional, friendly staff I have ever met. So many to mention but here are a few notable names, Yuseph, Devoth, Victor, Erastus, Kulvert, King, Marwa, Vinoth. They could not do enough for you, and on the exceptional occasion they didn't (probably due to minor misunderstanding of English) they do their damdest to put it right. Buffet food was fantastic with so much available choice for breakfast, Lunch and dinner. Loved the array of fresh fruit, homemade jams and coffee was delicious. Cleaning of rooms and delivery of water each day was great too.Also particularly enjoyed the evening entertainment particularly the the acrobats.

The first and foremost thing to say about this property is its staff. I travel a lot, but this level of friendliness and courtesy is unsurpassed in my experience.

Great stay

C’est un bon hôtel avec de bon équipement. Le personnel est sympathique mais au début manque de communication. Les animations peuvent être mieux avec une meilleure organisation afin d’avoir plus de personne et que ça soit plus sympa. Manque de communication. Au bout de 12 nuits le buffet est assez redondant. Sinon j’ai rien à dire on est sur un séjour paradisiaque

Tolle Anlage, einfach wunderschön!

The food, the service and the amenities were very good. It is a beautiful property and the staff are so helpful. There was some noise from the construction next door but we didn’t really notice it very much. The company running the diving and snorkeling excursions on the property were very organized and professional. There was entertainment 2 of the 4 nights we stayed. The Italian dinner night on the beach with dancing on Saturday night was a nice treat and the acrobats on the Friday night was great entertainment.

We stayed there for one week, August 2024, following a Safari. Lovely place, we had a beach front villa. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food excellent. Would thoroughly recommend.
