“Stay at Zanzibar Beach Resort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

A good hotel not far from Stonetown. Great pool for the kids and good location next to the ocean although don't expect a pristine white beach. Good to see dhows launching off the beach and fisherman tending to their boats though.

The hotel offered a shuttle but with set hours which might not suit. The taxi fare is a bit expensive if you need to do a few trips. A more regular shuttle would be handy.

Overall a good place to stay.

“Friendly staff and beautiful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

Our stay was made special by the Front Office Manager Michael who made sure that we felt welcome and appreciated as guests. The porter Raheema and a waitress Neema greeted us by name every day and asked about our night and how things are. We really felt at home and would not hesitate to stay at this wonderful place again. Such friendly staff makes one not to feel like a stranger and thus makes the stay more enjoyable. Keep it up and thanks to all the friendly staff.

Our specific requirements were promptly met by the GM and his unfailingly friendly and helpful staff. We couldn't have been more pleased with the assistance and attention given us during our five day stay.

“Not bad, could do much better!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

We stayed in this resort for 3 nights. The setting is great; azure sea and great lobby.
Personell was a bit slow, but friendly.
Rooms were spacious plus we had a big balcony.
Food was good, again a bit slow.
There was no beach, just a entry point to the ocean. The beach was compltely neglected. A lot of rubbish and sharp stones. Not really suitable for swimming. There is also a big tidal difference.
Stonetown is 10 minutes away by taxi. If I was to return to Zanzibar I would probably go to another place.
