We stayed for three nights following our African Safari. We loved the property and would like to have stayed longer. The staff were delightful, the food was very good and our room with a sea views was on the small side but very comfortable with a good sized deck for all our lounging. We saw a number of properties along the beach and nothing compared to this lovely boutique style property.

We spent 5 nights here, really nice hotel and the staff where all lovely. Really helpful. The hotel was very clean and secure. Pool was nice just right temp to cool down. Beach was a bit too busy so wouldn't describe it as a private beach. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in a stunning location on a beautiful stretch of beach, best position to see the sunset. Property has a stylish decor and is perfectly maintained. Service is great. The infinity pool is amazing. We got an upgrade to the suite that was very much appreciated. Thank you for the amazing stay and we will come back!

The two standouts of the Z Hotel were the friendly and gracious staff (shout out to Emiliana and Latifa), and the superb seafood restaurant Sexy Fish. I ate there twice and on both occasions the recommendations were spot on. The free breakfast buffet was also excellent. Very cool interior design, with liberal use of tropical themed wallpaper mixed with African fabrics in common areas and guest rooms. Very nice infinity pool overlooking the beach. There are lounge chairs by the pool and on the beach for hotel guests. The beach itself is the classic powdered sugar sand and warm aquamarine water, though at times felt a bit congested because of the restaurant projecting out from the hotel on one side of the beach, the small boats anchored in the water, and the traffic of jet skis and horse rides in the water. It's a nice stroll along the beach, but be prepared to deal with locals hawking souvenirs and tours. I found them friendly and not overly aggressive. If you're looking to buy souvenirs, the hotel is walking distance to a bunch of shops. There are also other restaurants within walking distance if you want to sample food other than what the hotel offers.

Beliggenhet, beliggenhet, beliggenhet

Fantastisk beliggenhet, rett på stranden. Relativt små rom men flott innredet og svært rene. Bassengområdet er perfekt og frokost restaurant er helt unik - maten er ok, men ikke fantastisk. Når det kommer til service så ha god tid. Alt tar laaaang tid - så ikke vært for tørst eller for sulten når du bestiller. Mye personale på hele hotellet og de fleste er ganske så vennlige men det varierer. Godt utvalg av restauranter rett utenfor hotellet også - dog prisnivå likt både på og utenfor hotel. Jeg vil si ganske dyrt for det meste. Anbefales på det sterkeste

Topp valg i Nungwi

Fantastisk opphold. Nydelig basseng og strand-område, god mat med rikholdig meny. 2 restauranter og rooftop-bar. Servicen var av beste sort, alle blid, hyggelig og behjelpelig med det meste. Sikkerheten var også høyt ivaretatt med vakter overalt. God plassering med gåavstand til det meste av restauranter, barer og shopping i området. Rommet var litt lite, men så er det ikke der man oppholder seg heller. Eneste jeg har å utsette var at sengene var litt harde.

Helt fantastisk sted om du vurderer å bo i Nungwi området. Absolutt alt var bra med oppholdet - eksepsjonell service: veldig hyggelige, respektfulle og profesjonelle de som jobbet der. Utrolig fint interiør og eksteriør, veldig stilig og harmonisk. Rommene var store og komfortable, god seng og gode puter. Hele hotellet og rommene var veldig rent og hygienisk. Renholderne var også utrolig skjønne og hyggelige! Maten på stedet er veldig god. Bra frokost med greit utvalg. Maten vi fikk ved bassenget var også noe av det bedre vi spiste på hele turen til Zanzibar! Gymmet var også et av de bedre jeg har opplevd på hotell! Bra utstyr og veldig rent. Rett ved stranden. God location for området. Anbefales!

Z Hotel Zanzibar är mycket snyggt och rummet var väldigt trivsamt ! Rooftop suite med stor altan mot havet . Välplanerat rum med stort duschrum och Walk in closet för resväskor och kläder . Underbart vänlig personal , ojämn service vid frukosten i övrigt bra ! Frukosten lite tillkrånglad. Restaurang sexy fish mycket trevligt läge vid havskanten! Matsedel medelmåttig. Fin takbar med utsikt över hav och goda drinkar! Pool med hög standard men halva väl grund ! Havsbad bra ! I stort ett mycket fint hotell med supersnygg inredning.
