Hotels in Zanzibar, Tanzania

Authentic feel - great renovation, excellent staff

We stayed here in January 2011. After a very loooong, hot and bumpy ride we arrived at Manta. We were immdeiatly greeted by the friendly and efficient staff. This, with the beautiful setting, immediately created a relaxing atmosphere. The service and food were very good as you have a server dedicated to you. The best part is that everything is...

We had a wonderful relaxing time at Next Paradise. The staff are very friendly but very much leave you to yourself unless you ask for their assistance, which was perfect for us. Great pool, which leads onto a white sandy beach. Sea not great for swimming but lots of kite-surfers. Clean, beautiful rooms with very comfy beds. The food in...

My wife and I stayed here for four nights and it was VERY quiet while we were at the hotel. Turns out that our stay came at the start of the prime season, so it was due to become busier in later weeks, but the lack of people didn't help the atmosphere. Of course, that is not the hotel's fault,...

We were booked with this hotel, but were put into one of the sister hotels. The hotel was non-descript, and not well signposted, but the rooms were tidy and the bathrooms were tiny. The food was nothing to write home about, but the location was handy, and we were able to get around Stonetown easily.

I recently stayed 2 nights at Panga Chumvi over the new years holiday weekend. The accommodations were overall very nice. I could not have asked for better scenery. The beach was nice, quiet, and very low key. The grounds manager, Wendy (originally from the UK) was VERY nice and was VERY helpful and friendly. She made sure that you had...

We spent 8 days there from 28 Dec 2011 to 4 Jan 2012. It has the potential to be a good resort but is lacking in many areas. The buildings are in dire need of maintenance. Our baths and basins did not have plugs. The basin overflowed back into the bath. There were electrical problems with parts of the cottage...

Just came back from a stay at this resort. The positives: Beautiful resort, nice sunsets, not far from Stone Town and conveniently placed for doing excursions, nice rooms, comfortable beds, spa was nice. We were there on half board basis: good and generous breakfast options (full English and Continental options with crepes, waffles and omelettes), and varied buffet dinner every...
