Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection

"Excellent! The room was clean and tidy, the staff were very welcoming, and it's very close to the beach. The sea view room was gorgeous! The only downside was that the Coke was a bit expensive, haha, two bottles for $6.90!"

Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort

"We stayed here at the end of our honeymoon, after 8 nights at a different hotel and then straight to a safari, we wanted our final 3 nights to be complete relaxation and that is exactly what we got. The hotel grounds & layout is great. There are only 16 rooms which means the hotel is very quiet, which is exactly what we wanted. Sometimes it felt like we were the only guests at the hotel. The food is absolutely excellent. A la carte dining for 3 meals a day as well as snacks on top. My only complaint with the food was that vegetarian options for dinner (for my wife) felt like a bit of an after thought. Dinner was the one meal you didn’t get a choice as it was a set 5 course menu. When my wife would mention to the waiter that she was vegetarian, you could see a bit of a panic and then after reassuring us it was in hand, we would be surprised by a random meal as there wasn’t a vegetarian menu. I must stress again though, the food was delicious and plentiful. The staff were all great and friendly. There wasn’t anything that felt impossible with the staff, they would make absolutely everything happen. A special shoutout to Joseph, he was super friendly and loved a chat. The drinks were also tasty and the menu was huge. The barman would also make any drink we requested off menu too. The room was very modern and clean. Bed was comfy and the mini fridge was filled daily by the cleaners. The cleaners were great and came twice a day which was nice. My complaint with the room is with the mosquito net. It isn’t a 360 degree net as there is a gap between the back wall behind the bed and the net. This doesn’t make sense to me since this leaves opportunity for mosquitoes to bite during the night. The pool area is very nice and clean and feels integrated with the main areas of the hotel. Nothing spectacular but definitely aesthetic. Evening entertainment was always locally themed which was nice and was during dinner which was also a good idea. The spa (each guest gets a free first massage) was great, the masseuse was good at what she does and we both left feeling relaxed. One thing we didn’t know about the hotel was that it had its own farm which is integrated within the grounds. They grow alot of their own spices, fruit and vegetables. They also keep chickens & ducks for eggs and meat. Overall a great stay and we would definitely return in the future."

Shukran Palace

"I visited Shukran Palace with my family in June (2026) and our stay was an experience! This resort is gorgeous with the most amazing architecture, landscape fit for a royal Palace, fountain by the lobby with the soothing sound of water, cascading pools with multiple outdoor bars and spacious suites with gorgeous furniture. The views of the Indian Ocean are spectacular no matter where you are on the property. With a fully equipped gym on the property or one can schedule a massage, either way you will find yourself relaxed here. Shukran Palace is truely a gem of the Zanzibar! We found employees constantly cleaning various areas and therefore the lounge to the rooms, cleanliness was impressive. The best part of this resort is its amazing staff members. Each and every employee takes it upon themselves to make their guests comfortable and with a warm smile. Lillian at the front desk is a customer service champion. Chef Suneel is gifted with mastering all types of cuisines. We throughly enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner . All dishes he prepared were packed with flavor. Having the privilege of traveling around the world, we found Shukran Palace to be top notch!"

Bahati Sunset Bungalows Michamvi

"A wonderful stay. The rooms are not luxury, but spacious and have everything you need including A/C, a small fridge and really good Shampoo, shower gel and Lotion. Room Service is good, the rooms are very clean. The location is rather quiet and remote. So ideal for people looking for a relaxing time and not the Party people. It is located directly at the White, powedery beach with a bit garden area with a large enough Pool. With just a fee room Bahati is absolutely lovely and the staff is absolutely amazing. The Restaurant is also really good. The Menu is very international, so not focussed on lokal Kitchen - but I tjink many guests prefer what is offered. The pizza is really good. We had the Malaysian Prawn Curry and the Butter Chicken and he chicken burger. Only the Fries could be improved. I loved breakfast. With freshly made mixed Juice and a good Selekction of breakfast options. So if you want some relaxeing days at a great location, I can only recommend Bahati. You get excellent value for Money and can really feel at home here."

Amani Villas Nature Retreat

"Stayed at the Amani villas with the family. Great small boutique hotel, with the most friendliest helpful staff. If you just want to wind down and get away from it all, this is a must. Every day they prepared a freshly cooked breakfast at a time that was suitable to us. Then come the evening dinner was again prepared to our timing and cooked to our specification. Definitely a place I will return to."

Pongwe Beach Hotel

"This beautiful boutique beach front hotel is absolutely amazing and no words could do it justice. Tranquil beautiful gardens with hammocks strung under swaying palms to talcum powder sands and a sea of blue and as warm as a bath. Perhaps the most notable experience of Pongwe are the staff always smiling always polite and eager to help you with anything you may desire. Got to be the best hotel in Zanzibar certainly the best beach and surroundings ❤️❤️❤️"

Menai Bay Beach Bungalows

"3rd class hotel. No water on the beach for about 5 miles Pathetic food which is ridiculously overpriced as there are no other options in a 10 kilometres radius"

F-Zeen Boutique Hotel Zanzibar
