Very nice hotel, well maintained and clean. The breakfast choice was quite limited but you could order your choice of eggs. The A La Carte menu was fantastic, Lobster or crab pasta was delicious and a very big portion as well as very reasonable prices. The only downside is the location which is on the main road and not as easy access to the sea by walking.

This hotel is wonderfully clean, food is always plentiful and restocked and the staff are a credit to the hotel , they are super friendly and helpful. Drinks at the bar are wonderful.
Regina in the Karibu restaurant is super efficient, helpful and friendly.
Pools are lovely and clean and there are plenty SunBeds.
The only small fault is that people go to the inside bars without tee shirts and maybe the dress code should be enforced more in the restaurants.
All in all a wonderful stay in...

We had such a lovely stay - the room and view were incredible and the beach was like paradise. The staff could not have been friendlier, and the restaurants and food were outstanding.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gold Zanzibar. On entering the grand reception we were greeted by very welcoming staff and felt the stress of our 15 hour travel melt away. During our stay we dined on the finest cuisines like tasty curried crab and desserts that were great on the eye. During our stay staff were always helpful, friendly and genuinely very nice people. I'd like to mention some great personalities, Abu, Salim, Basho, Kombo and Masoud they really made our stay amazing. We...

We loved Kilindi. My husband and I came here for 4 nights on our honeymoon. The property is gorgeous, and the friendly staff looked after us beautifully the entire time. Daudi was our personal attendant and he was so friendly and attentive without ever hovering over us. The chef makes incredible fresh meals, we didn't have a single thing at breakfast, lunch, or dinner that we didn't love. The bar makes great drinks and fresh daily juices.

Quite far to get to from Stonetown but a stunning location. It’s boutique hotel so not the facilities of a mega resort but the local friendly staff arranged a couple of excellent things for me and I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere. Great food too with sea views. I also enjoyed a massaged in a small hut by the sea so could hear the surf.

Rooms were immaculate, clean spacious, comfortable and the mist stunning view. Staff were super friendly, helpful, kind and just a wonderful service, nothing was too much trouble.
As a solo female traveller, I felt safe, and totally at ease staying at the Zanzibari. Asante Sana

We really looked forward to staying at the Zanzibar Queen given other reviews. It didnt disappoint. Fantastic location in beautifully kept grounds. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The pool area was clean and enticing. There was also boules, volleyball and badminton available to keep the body exercised. As well as table tennis and darts. The restaurant was superb. Ingredients and dishes were varied and akin to fine dining. Resort felt very private although effectively right on the beach....

Flame Tree Cottages were an amazing find! We stayed here for 3 weeks, and every day was perfect! The staff are a complete credit to the hotel. They are super helpful, always smiling and nothing is too much trouble.
The cottages are super cute, and positioned as such you don’t have neighbours, just your own beautiful gardens to look over.
The food is amazing (especially the jumbo prawns, chapatis, and coconut pumpkin curry) and the restaurant is a front row seat for the wonderful sunset. There...
