Zanzibar was amazing. the bungalow was ok best part was it been situated on the beach and the friendly staff made the stay worth it. the services of Samera at the front desk was top notch.
Еда вкусная, достаточно разнообразная. Разве что салаты подкачали - содержимое не сильно соответствует названию.
Местоположение неплохое. Не первая линия, но до пляжа буквально пара минут.
По вечерам несколько раз была развлекательная программа (фаер шоу, танцы).
Тренажерный зал конечно подкачал. Наполнение так себе. По сути есть гантели, штанга и Беговая дорожка. Остальное либо отсутствует, либо неработоспособно.
Понравилось отношение персонала. Все возникающие вопросы были оперативно решены.
Воспользовались спа. В программу включены сауна, скраб, хамам и массаж. На мой взгляд стоит своих денег.
Кратко: отличный отель в Nungwi, недалеко от океана и всех необходимых мест.
Пожалуйста, дочитайте до конца - вам возможно будет полезно, а нам приятно!
Это был наш последний (3-й) отель на Занзибаре, основная цель - спокойный отдых на океане. Выбором остались довольны.
РАСПОЛОЖЕНИЕ. Отель не на 1-й линии, но до океана идти около 5-ти минут пешком. Недалеко от отеля есть все необходимые места - рестораны, где можно вкусно поесть и посмотреть шоу, несколько разных пляжей, рынок с сувенирами и даже алкошоп). Рядом с отелем школа и стадион - довольно интересно наблюдать за местными жителями.
ОТЕЛЬ. Их 2 от одного хозяина, можно пользоваться инфрастуктурой обоих. Территория небольшая но уютно, ухожено и всё есть - бассейны, бары, рестораны.
НОМЕРА. Мы выбрали этот отель во многом из-за наличия большого семейного номера, где можно комфортно разместиться вчетвером. Наш выбор оправдался - номер из 2-х комнат, огромная лоджия, где вечером открывается красивый вид на подсвеченные бассейны и улицы. Минусы: номер слегка усталый, требует ремонта. Для аудио-чувствительных людей может быть испытание ночными звуками: кукарекание петуха, пение муэдзина, каркание ворон. Но это точно не претензия к отелю). Номер на 3-м этаже, лифта нет. В номере куча всяких подсветок и раздельных световых зон - удобно и красиво.
ПЕРСОНАЛ. Выше всяких похвал. Все очень любезны, помогают с любыми вопросами. Общались даже с владельцем отеля - очень приятный человек, помог нам решить некую заминку при заселении и потом помогал с разными вопросами.
ЗАВТРАК. Практически идеальный по местным меркам - есть вся необходимая еда: блюда из яиц на заказ, сосиски/бекон, свежие овощи, салаты, хлопья, соки, много видов хлеба и выпечки, фрукты, десерты. Разве что кофемашины не хватает - кофе только растворимый, но это почти везде так на Занзибаре.
ОКЕАН. Несколько пляжей радом, чистейшая вода, на западной стороне отливов, которые мешаеют купанию, нет. Зато есть потрясающие закаты - не пропустите!
ПАРКОВКА. Мы приехали на арендной машине, оставили до утра на внутренней охраняемой парковке.
Ну и МИНУСЫ. По сути он у нас был один - несмотря на предоплаченную бронь сразу наш семейный номер нам не дали - почему-то в их системе бронирования наша бронь проходила как 2 двухместных номера. Решали около часа, но потом вмешался хозяин и проблему решили. Номером мы в целом остались довольны.
ИТОГ. Отель рекомендуем, хороший выбор по соотношению цена/качество.
Great hotel, but some niggles. Has safe parking, central location, nice staff, big rooms.
In our first block power off virtually every night 6-9.00 pm, Did get moved and was a huge improvement. Breakfast could be a little more interesting On the whole well worth a visit 😎
Gorgeous beach in palms, clean white sand, clean water and a long beach side! One of the best beach and the best View from balcony (Ocean front room).
A great thanks to Trisha, Front manager who was very professional and supportive and helped me to solve a room problem at the beginning.
Definitely will comeback to this hotel! Great beach and facilities to spend a good time.
Very friendly staff every where: cleaning, restaurants, bars ets.
And a good massage in a SPA Renova provided! Thanks to Aziza for a good aromatherapy massage !
Останавливались в Sunshine Bay Hotel всего на 2 дня — и даже за это короткое время успели по‑настоящему отдохнуть! Отель расположен в потрясающем месте: до пляжа рукой подать, вокруг зелень и тишина, при этом недалеко от интересных мест.
Персонал очень приветливый: встретили с улыбкой, быстро оформили заселение и подробно рассказали, что посмотреть поблизости. Помогли вызвать такси и дали несколько отличных советов по локальным достопримечательностям.
Номер оказался чистым и уютным — есть всё необходимое, включая кондиционер, который очень выручал в жару. Wi‑Fi работал стабильно, уборка была проведена оперативно во время нашего пребывания.
Несмотря на короткий срок пребывания, остались в полном восторге. Sunshine Bay Hotel создал идеальное настроение для нашего путешествия по Занзибару. Обязательно вернёмся сюда на более долгий срок в следующий раз!
This is the third Riu hotel in the area, and having stayed at the previous two, I found this one, which opened in '26, to be a step down overall. The smell of concrete was very strong. They claim to have seven à la carte restaurants (non-buffet), but not all of them were open; in fact, only one was open each day. This wasn't mentioned on their website or on Ctrip. We were only informed at check-in that reservations could only be made for the following day. This means if you're only staying one night, you're stuck with the buffet for all three meals and can't experience any of the all-inclusive à la carte restaurants, despite paying the same per-night rate as those staying longer, which feels very unfair. The large, modern building feels too artificial; I'd rather stay in a more traditional hotel on the island.
We had an amazing stay at this hotel, clean neat and cozy room with complimentary water, delicious breakfast you will be spoiled for choice, good location as it is on the beach with sun beds for your relaxation after swimming in the ocean. Assorted wines and drinks for your refreshment, excellent customer service Neema went over and beyoud to show us around the hotel. If you are looking for a quite and intimate holiday destination for you to rewind, recharge and bond with your loved one this is a place for you.
The entire island experiences intermittent power outages. I encountered this about three times a day in both the restaurant and my room, each lasting less than ten seconds before power was restored.
Some of the staff, especially a female chef at one of the restaurants (the head chef rotates nightly), showed clear disdain for Asian guests.
Upon check-in, a male front desk staff member saw that I only had a small backpack (a tiny summit pack, as my main luggage was left in Kilimanjaro and not brought to Zanzibar). I was already carrying it myself, but he forcibly took it from me, even after I told him it wasn't necessary, clearly trying to earn a tip. Once in the room, he kept making small talk and wouldn't leave, seemingly afraid I wouldn't tip him. I ended up giving him one.
When I was checking out, my flight was delayed, so I asked if I could extend my check-out by an hour. The staff confirmed that an extension wasn't possible, but I could still use the hotel's beverage, snack, and other facilities. Since I had an all-inclusive package, I double-checked with a male staff member on the phone and a female staff member at the front desk about getting a drink, given my flight was delayed by three hours (my check-out was at 12 PM, and I hoped to leave around 1 PM). They both said it was fine. So, at 12:30 PM, I had a glass of orange juice by the pool. At 1 PM, as I was leaving the hotel, I was stopped and asked to pay. The staff member who had previously confirmed this with me, along with another server (not the beverage server), debated with me in front of their supervisor. Eventually, the supervisor, James, intervened and told me I could leave.
One of the bartenders at the beach bar also displayed discrimination towards Asians, practically fawning over white guests. I sat there for ages, and he ignored me even after I politely asked for the menu twice, pretending not to hear. As soon as a white person sat down, he was instantly there, chatting them up.
Overall, I'm dissatisfied with the service. Some staff members' English was poor, leading to communication misunderstandings (and I've studied English for many years and graduated with an English degree). The excessive debating in front of a customer also doesn't reflect good service. There were instances of discrimination and being forced into tipping. The entire service experience was very poor.
The beach, however, is excellent, and the hotel's location is good.
Great

Very Good
We were warmly greeted by the staff at the entrance. I had booked a deluxe room and had arrived early, would have appreciated an early checkin but the room wasn’t ready so meanwhile I explored the resort amenities. It has a private beach with a mini golf area and a bar alongside. The staff is friendly but most of the staff is new, a bit slow but they get you what you need. Maybe that’s how they’re wired, I’m unsure but they were kind. Pictures don’t do enough justice to this property. It’s massive, beautiful interiors with high end quality products. Loved the spa, felt so rejuvenated and I loved their bathing product line, the shower gels, etc. It’s ace quality. Food was good. They had live performance that got everyone on flood. It’s one of the best properties I’ve stayed at.
Amazing stay! I wished I had found this place before my previous booking. A mistake in my arrival date forced me to look around the area to find another hotel when I found Amaan hotels. Best choice ever! Great service, location right by the beach, breakfast buffet was a feast and the rooms have all you need after a day by the beach and pool. I would definitely choose this hotel again!! Perfect for all types of travellers!!
This hotel is very nice if you think about the price to quality ratio. People who work there are ok. The hotel is clean and has a nice restaurant inside that serves many dishes. There was music during the day and the cleaning service did a good job. The only thing that is not on is not about the hotel but about the area - when we get out of the hotel many street and beach vendors aggressively approach us. The hotel is ok so you can go there and rest for even a few weeks but the area is dangerous so stay safe in the hotel. Some of the street vendors are so rude that they are going after you from the beach to the hotel main door where the body guard stops him.
The Lux Marijani Zanzibar hotel was a DREAM ✨ The hotel getaway you never knew you needed. The hotel is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away from the airport. Upon arriving at the hotel we were warmly greeted by hospitable staff and amazing refreshments 🍹 The transition to our room was seemless thanks to our wonderful concierge Temba 👏 The room was beautifully decorated and spacious with a great view of the hotel’s private beach. It was equipped with a hair dryer, bathrobes, slippers, a kettle and a TV (with YouTube access). The hotel is perfect for couples and family alike. With an extraordinary food menu from its three restaurants. The hotel offers regular themed buffet meals ( Mexican Night/ BBQ Night) for its guests. It offers meals right around the clock: Breakfast ($35 usd), Lunch ($35 usd) & Dinner ($45 usd). There is also an option to pay from all-inclusive meal packages upon arrival. Special shout out to Chef Desi for his mouthwatering coconut delights, I will miss that the most! 😂 The hotel’s facilities also include a pool 🏊♀️ and a gym 🏋️♀️ (open from 7am-6pm). There are also various daily activities like Marco Polo, table tennis, art class, cooking class and beach volleyball to name a few. It was overall a great experience staying at the Lux Marijani Zanzibar and I would urge everyone to enjoy this experience on their own. Whether it’s dancing the night away to the music of the live band or just taking a sunset stroll on the beach. It was truly a life-changing and I highly recommend staying here. You can thank me later❤️❤️❤️
The beach at Nungwi Dreams is peaceful and quite. Ideal for a perfect getaway. High standard of leaving which I could recommend any day any hour. The breakfast buffet wow it's the best that I have ever experienced in Zanzibar.
Very Beautiful & Excuisite Hotel & Stay Great location just a few minutes walk to the Beach Its opposite Baraka Aquarium where you can visit animals & swim with turtles 🎉 Very good customer service 🫠 Great Breakfast 😃 I would recommend it for your stay in Nungwi
It was my first time staying at an all inclusive hotel and i loved it. The hotel is huge and there is a lot to do in the hotel. I stayed at the beachfront room so I had the best views and the best room in the hotel. The staff was amazing and the food was even better.
Great for the price, only stayed for 1 night so didn’t get to use the pool but the room and breakfast were great. Although the ‘Sea view’ room only saw a sliver of the water over the trees
We have mixed feelings about this resort. First, it is located right next to Nungwi Beach, making it easy to book various tours. Most of the staff are very nice, friendly, and helpful, and the entire resort is well-designed. However, two friends of mine ordered drinks at the pool, and the staff charged them incorrectly. My friend only discovered this in the morning when we were leaving. The concierge staff was not helpful; he promised he would look into the receipt after we left. When my friend called a few days later, the staff who answered hung up on her, and she was never able to get through again. Also, the staff didn’t tell us about how early we should call to order takeaway breakfast. We called at 10 PM the night before, and the staff member said she would see what she could do because it was already too late. In the end, we didn't have any food to take with us.
Tui Blue Bahari is 5*+ There is space, good food, great private beaches, 5 restaurants, friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. There were more sunbeds than guests when we stayed and towels are available poolside. There are bars in the garden, by the beach and at the pool, which are all manned with waiters and bar staff who are happy and efficient. The hotel has security and a private beach and the local tour sellers wait at the beach for you to engage. If you walk straight into the sea from the resort you'll find starfish, urchins and Dory fish. The room door we had wouldn't lock with a firm push and a couple times after the cleaners had been it was unlocked. Overall though 9.5/10 I'd recommend for any special occasion, or for those who want to safari in Tanzania, or swim with dolphins in Mnemba.
