Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive

Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Our family of 4 just stayed in the Grand Ocean suite for 9 nights and we were blown away with how nice and helpful the staff were. First this resort is so CLEAN. The room was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. Great showers and baths with very hot water and great water pressure. The mini bar was always stocked with beer sodas and waters… The resort felt very safe… there was always security at the front gate and down by the beach. There is only 1 restaurant but they offer so many options every day… for the first 7 nights we had the buffet which had at least 30 different things to choose from… I am a picky eater and allergic to many spices but I was able to find something to eat and the chef made me plain pasta when requested… my family loves spices so they enjoyed it all… there was always pasta, beef, chicken, and fish dishes to choose from. The last few nights they set up candlelight dinners around the property so we ate in the garden and by the pool those nights and ordered from a menu of options. The property is beautiful… the website pictures really don’t convey how nice it is, especially the beach area. The tides do go out pretty far everyday so there are times when you can’t swim in ocean but the stretch of beach to walk down is magnificent and there are so many beautiful shells to find. There are hundreds of sea urchins in waters in Zanzibar so bring water shoes. The staff is so attentive and proactively reaching out to help with anything"
