We did enjoy the quite of the resort and staff. Anthony and his team in hospitality where excellent for what they had to work with. The Chef and Anthony created a wonderful meal for us on the waterfront viewing the sunset. Magnificent! The waterfront suites where comfortable and rustic island style. We had a nice rest. Thank you.
Anne Maree, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were a bit sceptical about the resort at first due to previous reviews. However it was a great 10 day stay for us. The food was lovely, couldn’t get enough of the prawns. The room with the sea view was amazing. The staff were great, thank you Maria you made our stay very comfortable. If you need some where close to the airport and 5min away from Stone town then I recommend Zanzibar beach resort.

Quiet resort but peaceful. Staff are excellent and very polite. Rooms are cleaned and sprayed for insects every day. Tours are available and bookable at reception. I would stay again

8/10 Very good

It was a pleasant stay with decent rooms. The bathroom could use some improvements (old towel rails, old looking shower curtain). The pool, beach, and restaurant were nice and comfortable.

Resort has alot of potential but needs upgrades. Water pressure was low and breakfast was not good for 30,000 TSH. Resturant options was limited, but the grill prawns was good. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
Dyheim, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely and caring staff, we immediately felt welcome, they were helpful with the luggage, and provided late checkout. However, the building and facilities are old and outdated, air conditioning and wifi did not work.

Nice staff. Friendly.

8/10 Very good

We booked a hotel with full board, but we haven't spent much time there because we've been on day trips. The staff is incredibly pleasant, the hotel is spotless, and the food is great. However, the meal service was quite slow. We waited nearly an hour for a meal.

Cleanliness was good but service was poor …

4/10 Fair

Old hotel and not worth the stay for $60-80 per night. The property is very old and not maintained well, most people complain about hygiene. My wife had a conference for her office at this place and out of 15 people 3 got food poisoning.
Said, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth it at all, food is expensive but poor quality and not fresh. Staff are unprofessional and the property is old and following apart. The worth thing is, seems like the owners don’t care about the place.

Stay with caution : not so good
It was ok, internet is the issue. Water in bathroom tabs not sufficient to get relaxing bath.
Bohar, 10-night trip

2/10 Poor

The place is terrible, poorly mentioned, no pressure in the shower and first day there was no hot shower. The lock on the door was not working. Too many mosquitoes and every evening the house keeping goes around the rooms spraying this terrible mosquito repellent that’s not safe to humans to inhale. I’m the garden area there is a fish pound that is super gross, so green so dirty.
Said, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Warning- Do not book here! Forfiet your money if you already paid. This place will destroy your vacation mood. It is under new managemrent from India who refused to take the calls from expedia to discuss my refund so I had to take 3 calls from Expedia saying he would not answer the phone. Should be closed during construction and possibly condemed. You arrive to the entire lobby fenced off with mesh the entire floor is gone. You walk over a bridge water feature but no water is on it. The water fountain going to restaurant is cracked with no water. The pool is merky and with the red light at night looks OMINOUS! WE WERE BITTEN BaDLY BY BEDBIGS! There are muddy trenches dung all over the lawn. The day bed was filthy. They locked beach access because they said it is dangerous. The website implies there is beach access. The water has local fisherman and looks very commercial and looks uninviting.
