Zanzibar Honeymoon Holidays

Amenities, friendly staff and the spacious rooms

A smaller hotel but with provided a great experience. The staff were outstanding from reception to the bar. The rooms were very cool (we had a family room) and large, clean and very well appointed. The restaurant always looked good with many options enough to satisfy kids too. The kids also loved the pool & table tennis games room. The Dive centre in the hotel was also excellent and one of the reasons we chose this hotel. It all worked well. Just over an hour from the airport but plenty stuff to do at or near hotel with Mnemba Island just a short boat ride away!

This is, at best a 3* hotel. Breakfast was the same everyday and the food options were of poor standard. The rooms are outdated but clean. The beach is nice but difficult to swim because of rocks and urchins. The seafood restaurant by the beach serves great food but it is expensive. There were better options (food quality, ambience and value) at other restaurants a few minutes walk along the beach towards rock restaurant. Another option is a $35 round trip by taxi to Paje beach where there are some nice bars and restaurants and the atmosphere is lively. Overall, Karafuu beach is not good value for money and I would not grade it as a 5* hotel.

Great hotel...staff go above and beyond to cater to guests. Villas are massive and the spa is fantastic

Property is nice, but the area is not the best in Zanzibar. Beach is right where a working fishing village is located. Not very private at all! Property is nice, grounds are ok. Overall upkeep of the property is below expectations. We switched villas and the second one was better, but not in pristine condition. Villa layout is awkward. Bathroom is separate from the room structure and with a very peculiar design, offering very little privacy. Pricing is outrageous, at more then $1,000 a night, for a so-so experience. The bright spot is service and food, but overall this property is way way way overpriced!!

Staff were exceptional. Food menus catered to varied needs; servers even remembered my lactose free requirements, and altered my menus accordingly. Grounds and beach were impeccable, pool was always crystal clear. Free entertainment most evenings, we had acrobats and a story teller one evening. Security made us feel taken care of. The spa offered a full menus of services.
