Hotels With Wifi in Zanzibar North Region, Tanzania

"Amazing stay at the hotel with great amenities! I had a fantastic time staying at this hotel in Nungwi, Zanzibar, with my friends. The hotel was very clean, which was important to me, and the pool was cleaned everyday and perfect for relaxing. The spacious rooms made our stay even more comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax after a day of activities. The location is also perfect 3 minutes walk to to Nungwi Beach, with beautiful excursions by the sea just a short distance away. You can watch the sunset. What truly made this stay special was the friendliness of the staff. They were incredibly helpful and friendly. They make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone!! We will definitely be coming back!"

"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."

"Very well managed property, the best in Kendwa. All very clean, staff very helpful. Prices in restaurant are very reasonable for the area. Beach area well maintained with sunbeds and waiters to help you relax. Security all around the place so beach vendors will not bother you. This hotel is in center of everything. Diving and skydiving centers right on the premises. Disco and full moon party, singers and performers every night. Lots of shops and cafes just outside the place: exchange, SIM cards, fruits, alko, taxi, tuktuks. Friends can visit with daypass - like 30tsh, spendable at restaurant. Hotel is very quiet inside in the living area. We stayed in 4 rooms in total (2 villas first night and 2 for the rest), all very clean and serviced very well. The only negative thing - first night we stayed in villas, as rooms were not ready, but moving the next day took too long, waited for like 3 hours for new rooms. And the exchange rate is only 2300 for the USD deposit, while just outside exchange rate is 2600 for USD. So leave the deposit in USD, don't worry about paying every bill, just sign with room number, but pay in shillings at checkout. Don't bother with halfboard, just get breakfast, lots of dining options around to explore. Akuna matata!"

"The value for money is average; the price is a bit high, which is understandable since it's a tourist spot and a bit far from the beach. This is likely due to it being newly renovated. The hotel sign isn't even up yet. However, the owner's service is really excellent."

"Nice hotel, but receptionists refuse my request to check in early and i was seriously sick that day they keep me in lobby almost 3hrs no one care  My friend was reminded them about my condition but no any action from front desk"

"Wonderful"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An outstanding stay from start to finish. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with immaculate grounds, spotless rooms, and a fantastic atmosphere throughout. The pools are excellent, there’s always plenty of space to relax, and the beachfront location is stunning. What really made the stay special was the staff. Every member of the team was warm, friendly and genuinely eager to help, always greeting guests with a smile and providing exceptional service. They work incredibly hard and it really shows. The food offered plenty of variety, the facilities were excellent, and everything was organised to a very high standard. It’s clear the hotel takes great pride in delivering a first-class guest experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and would highly recommend RIU Palace Swahili to anyone visiting Zanzibar. A truly memorable holiday."

"The rooms are all villas, equipped with swimming pools, bubble bath jacuzzis, bathtubs and multiple lounge chairs. The facilities are first-class. There are two restaurants. The meals are also very rich. Enjoy the food while blowing the sea breeze!"

"The location and recreational facilities here are excellent. The staff are also generally friendly. However, there's a cultural difference that's worth noting: the local 'pole pole' (slowly, slowly) and 'hakuna matata' (no worries) mindset can clash a bit with the 'ppalli ppalli' (hurry up) tendency of Koreans. Haha. But if you experience it, you'll realize there's no ill intent, so as a traveler, it's best to just relax and go with the flow. I mention this because I had a bewildering experience where I booked through Trip.com, but upon arrival, the resort told me there was no reservation. In the end, I spoke with a Trip.com agent, and the issue was resolved well. I'm not sure of the exact cause, but it seemed like a booking system problem. I don't think it was solely Trip.com's fault; I suspect there might have been a system issue on the resort's side as well. The resort staff working that day did their best (honestly, there wasn't much they could do; it was evening, and they even showed me on the monitor that there was no reservation). Luckily, there was a room available, so I was able to book the same room on the spot. As soon as the payment went through, it seemed to appear immediately in the resort's booking system, and they gave me the confirmation. Haha. I was so tired, humid, and mosquito-bitten after flying in from Serengeti and arriving in the evening... it was tough. Haha. I'm so glad it was resolved; I don't even want to think about what would have happened if there were no rooms left. Make sure to send a reservation confirmation email to the resort and get it confirmed. On the way, I saw a Google review from another Korean who experienced the exact same thing and left an angry review. They booked through Agoda, and I booked through Trip.com, so I believed I wouldn't have this issue. That's because I've never had such a problem in the several years I've been booking through Trip.com. Yes. So, definitely send a reservation confirmation email directly to the resort and get it confirmed! The facilities are clean, convenient, and really great. For this price, I think it's excellent. And having a dive center attached is very convenient. The boat for the dolphin tour was really nice. Lolololol. Our boat was the best. Of course, it was more expensive. And I loved having unlimited drinks at the bar every day. I want to go again. It looked like they were building another resort next door, haha. I hope this review is helpful to everyone."

"We have had a very remarkable stay in this hotel in Zanzibar. The room was perfect, perfectly maintained and very comfortable. The hotel is a beautiful location, with a sublime beach just in front of the hotel. All was gathered to spend perfect holidays: quality of accommodation, service, cleanliness, reception and an exceptional environment. We strongly recommend this hotel and will not hesitate to return to it during a next stay in Zanzibar"
