Jungle Paradise Beach Resort & Spa @ Mbweni Ruins Hotel Zanzibar in Mbweni

The beach was awesome with great sunsets. Had a two twin bed room that was converted to a queen by combining the beds. Room was clean enough but the tiles were an off brown that made them look not so clean. The staff is very helpful, but like most islands things just tend to be slower. The food service takes a while but I appreciated it as it seemed everything was cooked when ordered. Overall a great experience with good management and staff.

Nice place with very nice view. It's historic at the same time modern. It's green everywhere.The pool is kinda small but ok. The view though earns 5 stars, very nice and clean beach. The staff is friendly had a great conversation with the bar tender. I also liked their food, was delicious and cocktails were not bad. I had chicken and fries and a mojito. I also had a glass of strawberry milkshake which was so yummy. Would definitely go back on my next trip to Zanzibar .

Everything was clean and the grounds were nicely maintained. We ate at the restaurant a couple of times and the food was good but the portions were huge. The management and staff were very nice and kind.
I hope someone is looking out for the kitties on the property. 🐈

The reason I gave 4* was due to the cash price being very high, I don't think it justifies that rate. You could get much better value somewhere else in Stone town or the northern part of the island.

It's was a unique experience! The reception and the front of the hotel are the Mbweni Ruins and the rooms are at the back facing the ocean. Rooms are comfortable although there were power outages here and there for short periods of time. Staff are awesome. Friendly and very helpful. Food from breakfast to dinner was delicious. Will definitely visit this hotel again. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Zanzibar.

This is probably the best hotel I've ever stayed in! It's beautifully situated INSIDE the ruins. The rooms are lovely and spacious - immaculately clean. The grounds are gorgeous. And above all, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful - particularly manager Issa. He personally went above and beyond helping me with a special matter. Can't say enough good things. If I'm ever back in Zanzibar - I'll be back to Protea!
