My partner and I stayed here in February of this year. It was suggested by a friend in the safari business. I have been to Zanzibar before and stayed at some very nice hotels but this one is the tops. Beautiful everything and mother nature provides the Indian Ocean for all day swimming in crystal clear water. It could not... More

We travelled with two children aged 10 and 12. They had a wonderful holiday, as did we. We were after a relaxing stay at a hotel that catered for kids. There is visual security at all perimeters, which meant that we let the kids have the run of the place while they stayed together. They were treated well by all... More

We honeymooned at this resort and had a great time. However the resort desperately needs to be upgraded to be true to it's billing as a 5 star facility. The bedroom was an utter disappointment - crummy fittings, old carpet and furniture and a strained bathroom. The bed was two singles pushed together, two duvets and foam pillows (yes, foam... More

We spent the last week of our honeymoon in Tanzania at this resort. We were looking for an all-inclusive beachfront resort, which is why we chose this resort. The staff were professional and courteous and we had great conversations with all of them. The grounds were beautiful and well-groomed. Rooms had a spacious back deck and beautiful views of the...

We decided to take a mini break over a long weekend, and chose a destination not yet travelled. Our decision was good in that we visited a small piece of paradise, and not good in that we only had 2 days in this amazing resort. Our trip to the destination was a harrowing event, but is not part of this... More

Diamonds La Gemma is great. it is so beautiful and large. We went at a quiet time of year and the hotel was not fully booked. i can imagine that when it is fully booked then it gets a little cramped and a bit much. but we loved our stay. The food is incredible, especially the lasagne. The staff are... More

La Gemma is wonderful although they could improve on food and activities. There are 4 different restaurants but only 2 are included in their Fully inclusive package. The other 2 are extra restaurants and totally under utilized. Food it a key experience in a foreign world and unless you are willing to pay extra you are limited to basic eurpoean... More

Large beautiful grounds surround this hotel which has a delightful pool complex right on the edge of the beach. The staff are all excellent - always cheerful and extremely helpful. The bedroom was very good, although my wife would have preferred a bath as well as the excellent shower. The food is good but with only two restaurants available for... More

Having read some disappointing reviews of La Gemma, we were not sure what to expect. The hotel is in a great setting and the gardens are beautiful and well maintained. It is a large site but we enjoyed walking through the grounds. (Buggies are available for those who do not wish to walk) We received a warm welcome and were... More
