Spa-Hotels in Mjini Magharibi Region

Tucked away, secluded and relaxing. Rooms with amazing views. Good food, private beach, quiet and serenity.

The hotel feels like a home away from home. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Every meal I ate at the hotel was delicious. I also had a full body massage and felt rejuvenated afterwards. I will definitely be coming back any chance I get.

The Villa Fleur de Lys warmly welcomed us and our 20 friends for our wedding overseas. You will be stunned the first time you crossed the door and see the great view the villa offers you. Furthermore, Zoe, Mona and Baraka were always available to help us plan our weeding day and trip. All the staff was so kind and professionnal. Surely we will get back to the villa as this is the perfect place to disconnect...

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. One of the few places that felt human. The service was so warm and friendly unlike many of the other places I've stayed in Zanzibar. So charming, peaceful and beautiful. It felt like staying at home.

Great staff. They are friendly and helpful. Food was good. Lives the weather.. Even the storm was exciting. Went to Makunduchi village. We saw lots of culture and we had local food too. We had a personal driver who was very safe. Will definitely be back

From the moment we entered, the staff was attentive and went above and beyond to make your stay memorable. It offers an intimate and tranquil experience. The boutique hotel combines traditional Zanzibari charm with modern amenities, making it a perfect getaway for relaxation. We truly enjoyed our week. Loved the lush garden, inviting pool, and stunning views overlooking the beach on a cliff, which...

Excellent hotel, the room is clean, far from civilization, and that's a plus

Food selection is limited. No wifi in the rooms and the activity program was limited. Great scenery and wildlife though, and friendly staff.

It was Amazing everyone is very nice and Amani and Nassee Are Amazing workers!!!! Hassan is awesome too, the massais Are very respektful! 10/10

Room was smaller than we expected but it has what you need.Staff very friendly and attentive Hassan has been extremely helpful and always greets us with a hello and smile.Could do with music around the pool and beach bar as very quiet.A bit isolated for us as we like be able to walk into town to see the local culture.

Great experience and value for money

Such a charming little hotel , we’re already planning to return next year! It’s simple and relaxed, with an authentic African vibe, so don’t come expecting luxury, but come for the warm atmosphere and the people. The staff are some of the kindest and friendliest you could meet, always ready to help with a smile. The pool offers a breathtaking view of the ocean, and there are two beautiful beaches...

The staff were truly amazing and very helpful! The rooms were extremely clean and paid attention to detail too. I highly recommend. Everything is in a walkable distance and great value for money. There also wasn’t any noise at all and the amenities were all easily accessible.

The hotel is beautiful, clean rooms and hotel stuffs are helpful and friendly Great experience, if you are looking for a nice hotel in stonetown I highly recommend beyt as salaam

I had a wonderful stay at Beyt al Salaam. The service was excellent from the moment I arrived. The staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well prepared. I especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful design of the hotel. The location is perfect — close to important attractions and very convenient for visitors...

Charming Stay in the Heart of Stone Town! We stayed one night at Beyt Al Salaam and loved its central location in Stone Town. Markets, restaurants, and major attractions are all within walking distance. The hotel has an antique charm with traditional interiors and a warm, welcoming staff. A lovely blend of heritage and hospitality.

This review is at least 10 years late, but Google pics me took down memory lane when we visited the hotel's restaurant back in 2015, we preferred to eat here as opposed to the Double Tree Hotel we were staying that was about a few meters away (pity it's now closed) but the food was absolutely phenomenal, I vividly remember the lady chef (hopefully she's still there) served us like absolute royalty...

This resort is really comfortable clean and well maintained grounds and pool. Ocean view and many activities along the beach. Onsite restaurant, bar, massage and beach access with chairs & towels. Great friendly staff and accomdating.

Review of Wasabi, Restaurant inside the Cristal Resort, I confirm my previous review, perfect location in Paje, beautiful private beach, simple resort, nice environment, however it is a bit sad, no atmosphere, no music, staff not particularly welcoming. We wanted to eat Uramaki and we went back to Wasabi, we ordered more types of Uramaki, with raw tuna, vegetarian, and with shrimp, all good and well...

Cristal would be a great resort so long as you’re not there on music night - the pounding music started before 6pm and was supposed to finish at midnight but actually finished at 2am. All this was less than 50 metres from both the restaurant (making conversation difficult) and from a number of rooms including several for our group (so struggled to sleep). And all for less than 20 people. And to make...

I wholeheartedly recommend the Cristal Resort in Zanzibar for an enchanting escape. Nestled amid stunning surroundings, this resort offers a unique blend of elegance and comfort. The attention to detail in the design, coupled with personalized service, creates a truly luxurious experience. The Cristal Resort's commitment to showcasing local culture and flavors is evident in its exceptional dining options

Great 👍 "Exceptional stay! Impeccable service, stylish ambiance, and attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond, creating a memorable experience. A perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Highly recommend for an unforgettable getaway."

One of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. White sand between coconut trees and amazing tourquize colors of the Indian Ocean. Very good Asiatic menue, and most importantly lovely welcoming team. Rooms are ok good clean no luxury but for such level of stars and price it's very ok. breakfast is nice and tasty. lovely bar on the beach. on Thursday they have great beach show and party call Pamoja...

It's such a nice place to be that's well secure, very pleased and cool, you can see a daily sunrise and sunset, it also covered by natural plants

It's a lovely place to stay. Neat and clean . The staff is friendly and helpful. Food was good. Good place to relax.

Great place for holiday. Nice rooms and staff, the place is directly on a wonderfull beach. Wi fi signal is weak. The restaurant has a great menu, different choices og local and international food.

Lovely place with a nice pool. Food is good as well. Quite nice beach and very relaxing. Totally worth it if your looking for peace and calm with a fair bit of luxury. Very kind and helpful staff, highly recommended.

Very nice place. Very friendly and cooperating staff. Good food. Great facilities. Pool and beach are attractive. Great room. Every thing was excellent.

Amazing place to stay with great hospitality and treatment from the staff. Also, a very nice restaurant to have your lunch and dinner. It has a beautiful view of the sea and is surrounded with wonderful and well maintained gardens.

Everything about this resort was great, accommodation was very good, big room, with a great shower / bathroom. The food was good, enjoyed the different culture food every night. We met great people, still friends after the trip, we did most of the excursions together. Will be back if we can!

The hotel is beautiful. I had a rest. People are so kind and helpful, always smiling and spreading positive energy. I LOVED the food. Everyday we had something delicious. Soups were my favourite! A Lot of salads and yummy drinks. I want to come back soon again!

Great spot for a restful getaway. All staff very friendly and helpful. This resort seems to be popular with big groups. So you may need to wait a little to get checked in (or get help in general) but don't worry, you will be attended to very soon. Rooms clean and comfy - basic, but what more do you need? It's a beach resort with great weather, so I was only in the room to sleep and shower anyway...

The resort was amazing, perfectly situated on the beach. Drinks were good and lot of variety available. The food was also good despite being a buffet option for the all inclusive package. The only negative was the rooms are not as fancy or as well maintained but it was good enough, comfortable and cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend for a family stay. The evening entertainment was really fun...

the final bill was higher than what we used, so... The check-out time is until 10, although when we ordered in the online system it was written that until 11 o'clock. Staying in the room until 11 was not allowed. The food is delicious, but I saw the waiter putting the food that fell out back into the dish. Some of the staff are very polite, but certainly not all. The location is great, the beach too...

Good value for money, overall quite satisfied

I had a very pleasant time, the service was perfect, I have absolutely no complaints. No further comment needed 🤗

It's a bit far from the city center, but it's okay unless you're on a business trip.

Nice staff Low season, terrible breakfast. Neighbour hotel chuini saved this stay with amazing lunch and dinner. Comfty beds. Friendly staff.

Staff seem to do the best they can despite limitations, very picturesque in itself however was told to get cash to pay for food and expenses as their card machine was not working.

The best Gym I found in an hotel (even a/c didn't work) . The room was enormous, clean and quiet. The Road for getting there Is in bad conditions, as the standard of the Island, excerpt main roads. Breakfast Is simple but good enaugh. Staff very helpful, a nearby beach Is very "authentic" with few europeans. Good experience.

A safe refuge in a chaotic island The stay was very lovely compared to the surrounding parts of Zanzibar. You sometimes forgot there was a world outside the resort. The staff was very respectful and helpful. Grisham in particular was very professional, reliable, well-spoken with English, and was able to meet all our requests (including having breakfast made earlier than normal for our flight) with...

The place was great, staff was great. The maasai workers were helpful, especially Elias! The breakfast was good. The place was clean. I didn't rate it 5 star because it didn't have any real wow factors, but it was still a pleasant stay. Location: Conveniently located to many places in stone town. And very close to the highly recommended restaurant Luk Maan! Steps away from forodhani gardens/market...

The hotel is in a very convenient location. It is a short walk to the Forodhani Gardens and the former Slave Market. There are several restaurants closeby especially a very popular one Lukmaan. The area around the hotel is bustling in the day and quiet at night. A taxi cannot drive up to this property so you will to do a short walk through the streets to get there. The staff were friendly and always...

Very good value for money. Staff are especially accommodating and very nice. Rooms were clean with regular turn downs and aircon and mosquito net. Coffee and tea for the rooms and great location for walking Stone Town and the pool is lovely! Plus the prettiest hotel cat and a buffet breakfast. If/when we return, we will definitely stay again.

Very good…Love the location beacause you are able to access everywhere and very safe as well…

Very good…Love the location beacause you are able to access everywhere and very safe as well…

We had a problem with airconditioner . But was fixed super fast . We were so impressed. We will return as the hotel is so good in all areas

Very very nice hotel resort directly on the beach with a beautiful garden and pool The room is perfect ,food is excellent and all the hotel's team are very friendly Nothing to complains ,THANK YOU

A beautiful place tropical garden well looked after, excellent food especially the dinners reception staff very good Nice (the receptionist) collected aloe Vera for my sun burn generally all the staff are very friendly, wonderful massage, enjoyed walking into the village and beach and to top it all we went on the early morning trip and swam with the dolphins 😀Thank you xx

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was wonderful! Heads up: the beach had a lot of sea urchins in January. There were some local youths that showed us safe passage and starfish, sea spiders, lionfish, etc. right there on our beach for a small fee. For swimming the hotel pool was beautiful. The food in the hotel restaurant was reasonably priced and good.

The hotel is a 15 room cozy, quite, and warm space. Rooms were spacious and well kept. The staff cleans on daily basis…change sheets, pillows, towels and most importantly take into consideration all your remarks. The hotel is directly located on a sandy white quite beach which felt more like a private one with sun beds. The masai passed by trying to sell some hand made local stuff, but you can just...

We stayed at this lovely small retreat after a safari to relax before returning home . The staff was so friendly and provided great service. The room was clean and comfortable with AC and a nice big bathroom. The common area and pool were great to sit and read a book or play cards. The food was good so were the cocktails. They even let us keep one room to keep our things and relax in for a late...

We had the ultimate end to our Tanzanian vacation. The service was outstanding for our 4 day stay. A special thanks to Miriam at reception for room organising and late checkout ,Ester our fabulous masseuse ,Asya for all our day to day queries. So many smiling wait staff ,always at the ready.View,beach,pool,room, menu perfect.! Our most sincere thanks.

My wife and I decided to stay again at The Palms after our mountain gorilla trek. It was great to be back! It was just as we remembered in 2024. We were able to stay in the same villa. Siriak, the manager, was warm and welcoming, as was the fantastic staff who attended to our every need. The chef’s attention to detail and preparation for each meal was phenomenal. We were very happy to be back and our...

You will have seen the previous positive feedback from others. I can assure you its even better than they say. We are just back from a fabulous 9 day stay (should have been 7 but issues around the gulf meant we stayed a further 2 days). From the start entering reception we had a lovely warm welcome. We were given a tour of the grounds before going to our amazing villa for our stay. From the well...

I haven’t written a review for a long time. Maybe the places we’ve been in the world haven’t really been worthy of one however when, once in a lifetime, somewhere touches you so sincerely that maybe the rest of the world needs to hear about it. Now, to describe this place, it would be advised to close your eyes, sit back, breathe deeply and not to let your surroundings distract you. Relaxed...

Loved our stay at Tides everything was perfect. The rooms are amazing all with Ocean views , the food is excellent with great choices everyday. Bar staff are fabulous making the best cocktails ever. The manager Siriak is the stand out he runs the hotel with perfection, attention to detail his is aim, and he certainly delivers this, always on hand nothing too much trouble obviously respected by the...

We have just returned from the most wonderful place and can only recommend The Palms, the best food served by a very service-minded staff, we were welcomed by manager Mr. Siriak who showed us around and aperitifs were ready immediately after arrival - fantastic welcome, and fantastic atmosphere, very quiet and intimate place with 7 lovely houses with plenty of space, this is the place where the service...

For many years we travelled extensively over the world in pursuit of the perfect place for a senior couple like ourselves to spend the Christmas season in the sun. Since we found The Palms at Zanzibar some years ago we don't have to search any longer. Perfect service, the best food the Indian Ocean can offer and very nice wines from South Africa. We shall return. Jan Guillou, Stockholm, Sweden

Amazing location, basically on the beach! Clean pool and clean rooms. Very nice and helpful staff. Me and my husband chose Matemwe for a more quiet time, it was as expected. Absolutely worth the money.

I opted for this hotel as it is close to the best snorkeling spots. The check-in went smooth and I was guided too my room, which was lovely decorated and clean as well. This spacious suite had also a bath room with a bath tub and shower as well. Additionally it also had a terrace. Outside you have a community pool and the restaurant as well. I did had B&B, so the breaksfast was included and for me...

Budget alternative with minimum of service It was okay, nothing more. Good price, but the food was average and the service was slow. Nice pool area and access to beach. Room was good, but there is no wifi there, only in the reception and restaurant/pool. Be aware it is a non-alcoholic bar, so having a drink by the pool is not possible. Lots of very nice hotels with great bars and good restaurants on...

Absolutely fantastic holiday! The hotel is very nice, located right by the sea almost in the middle of the village of Matemwe. Very nice rooms, including a great outdoor shower! Thorough, careful and perfect cleaning twice a day. The hotel staff was very nice and everyone did everything they could to make us feel at home. I would like to highlight the following fantastic people: Sauli, Rakim, Charles...

Seaview hotel with relaxing couple massage in the swimming pool during our honeymoon. Amazing staff and food incredible.

Nice hotel for Mnemba Island tour, very close to the Island and the hotel staff was perfect. I had the best massage ever listening to the ocean and in front of the beach. The food is fantastic and they do not serve alcoholic beverage, despite the fact that I drink, I liked the attitude from the hotel to keep their believe above the tourists. Old hotel that need a lot of maintenance and worst beach...

Qambani is a lovely, quiet resort with a wonderful atmosphere. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable and lovingly decorated. I especially appreciate the overall aesthetic of the decor looking like it was cobbled together from shipwrecks and driftwood. It adds a vibe that I have not experienced before but very much enjoyed! It's a unique and wonderful...

We stayed at Qambani for 7 days and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff provided amazing service and went above and beyond in everything they did. When I made a special dinner request that wasn't on the menu, they accommodated graciously without hesitation. The spacious room and hotel are beautiful, with great views and a peaceful, secluded atmosphere that made our honeymoon perfect. The facilities...

Everything about Qambani Luxury Resort was perfect-we loved it. The hotel is a beautiful oasis overlooking the Indian Ocean. The decor in the main area and in the villa is gorgeous: relaxed elegance. The infinity pool is lovely as is the surrounding pool area. The food is top quality and delicious, and if something on the menu doesn’t suit you they will gladly amend things for you. We did some day...

After 6 days on safari we wanted to rest in Zanzibar and chose to stay at the Qambani resort for 4 days. We wished we had stayed longer! The place is magical! The lounge area, the pools, our house (Plantation), everything was gorgeous and spacious! You're never in other people's bubbles. And what can I say about the extremely relaxing atmosphere. Except for a little music from time to time, no noise...

What a spoiling!! A beautifully appointed chalet with such attention to detail to make for a perfect stay. Excellent communication from our hosts. To top it all was the most delicious 5 course dinner and breakfast the next morning. Such accommodating, friendly service from everyone. We will be back! Thank you.

We had the pleasure of staying 5 nights at Qambani and already on the first day we felt at home here. The resort is stunningly beautiful but it is the team that makes the stay unforgettable. The service is nothing but the best and everyone is SO friendly. We simply did not want to leave. Many thanks to the entire Qambani team. We will be back!

Wonderful spot! I stop in at their rooftop restaurant every time I'm in Stone Town. The food and drinks are great, staff are friendly and helpful, and with a great view of Stone Town. Highly recommend!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

The place is nice with a good customer care The food i mean lunch that we had on those two days is amazing

My wife and I had an excellent stay at Island Paradise Inn. The service, customer care, room, bed, and breakfast were all of the highest quality! I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Stone Town, Zanzibar. You are amazing 🙏🙏

I visited Paradise Inn during my trip to Zanzibar, and it was a pleasant experience. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, with a beautiful view that made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was decent, and what really stood out was the excellent service—especially from the manager, Imran, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming. I’d definitely recommend their service to anyone in the...

I had a good stay at this hotel. It’s comfortable, affordable and simple, location was so ideal, rooms were in good condition and staff were quite friendly. Safe location as well as lots of food options around the hotel.

Good service, good breakfast, spacious and clean rooms. Close proximity to other places in the stone town. Smooth check in. Quite area. Easy to get cabs outaide. Fiendly and helpful staff. Overall very good stay. Will surely come back again!

It was neither good nor bad, just average. It didn't feel very clean. What bothered me more was the large number of mosquitoes.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. However there is a bit of disturbance from rats running around during the night which is make me more scary but it’s not big deal we have been experiencing it even in other hotel in big city. Nice amazing staff and food is good. Points is very closer to the ferry which is also very nice. Super thankful for my lovely chef abillah he made my stay perfectly. Hakuna...

We returned to IFA for a vacation, since our visit with them in 2023 was absolutely wonderful! The location of IFA Beach Resort is ideal as it sits at the very beachfront, offering beautiful scenery. The staff members are warm and friendly, always ready to serve and help in any way possible. Rooms are clean and air conditioning provides a much needed break from the Zanzibar heat! Fridges in the rooms...

My family and I had an absolutely perfect stay at IFA Beach Resort ! The hotel is beautifully maintained, ideally located in a calm and peaceful setting, and the reservation team took a good care of my requests to give us an incredible spot right by the sea. Falling asleep every night to the soothing sound of the waves was simply magical … But above all, what made our experience unforgettable was...

The rooms were spacious, elegantly furnished, and impeccably clean. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort. Not forgetting the stunning sea views with a clean and well maintained pool

I've been three times. In many ways a good place. -Still the restaurant doesn't get enough material, so everything is often over but there is business. The sheets and pillows are now in order, at least in my room. The swimming pool is ok but again I had to point out that even the top of the pool has to be wiped daily otherwise it will get green, maybe the pool people get a bad salary, people with Indian...

Beach side The location is perfect, directly on the long, nice and pretty calm Jambiani beach. The hotel has a large garden with flowers and palm trees around the pool area. Some sun beds directly on the beach (with a small fence so vendors not walking straight in) Good breakfast. We had a large basic room eith big bed and huge balcony with excellent sea view.

Very good hotel with great workers. Very well located in front of the beautiful sea. Thank you for everything !

Our stay at this resort was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all expectations. Even though the weather wasn’t the best during our visit, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. We treated ourselves to a fantastic massage at the spa, which was incredibly relaxing and professionally done. It was exactly what we needed to unwind and disconnect. On top of that, the entertainment team did an amazing...

Amazing location, great kitchen and daily entertainment with professionals.

We went with friends. Being the guests of the GM and Head Chef, it was indeed an experience to remember. The ambience of the place and the courtesy of the staff was exceptional- the food was not only ever so delicious but its presentation was superb- 10/10 from our side- hope to revisit and stay for longer

Great food and ambiance!!! The chef made personal efforts to make sure everything was up to the mark. The professionalism and quality of food and service was 5 star!!!!

I really highly recommend this club, very clean, good vibes, relaxing, greenaries, nice beach, amazing food, wonderful and friendly staff.. it was just amazing and we look forward to visit again. Thank you very much for everything 🙏

My partner and I stayed at Dongwe Club in September, and we absolutely loved everything about it! From the moment we arrived we were amazingly welcomed, everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming the staff are some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met. The location is simply amazing surrounded by beautiful palms, with plenty of breathtaking spots perfect for relaxing and taking in the scenery...

We cannot commend this resort enough! It was an absolute fabulous stay and Julius the Manager is absolutely amazing! Amazing food and ambience! A resort well maintained and well run!

Fabulous hotel in lovely location. Rooms are individual bungalows some with private pools. The staff are amazing - thanks especially to Frank. Food was delicious

Love love love it here! We Felt so welcome the start and from then it only got better. Everything we asked for was given. What I really liked was the small scale and how the staff knew your name and took a great effort to fullfill your personal needs. It was so clean and beautiful and the rooms and bathrooms are spacious. And everything was so beautifully decorated. The food and drinks were perfect...

Thank you so much to KHEIR and SHAIBU (I hope I wrote it right) for the very nice gesture they made to us when we asked for theirs hats and made us also 2 hats from the Palma tree leafs! They are gardening employees and very nice people! Also the whole staff is very nice specially the waiter you get assigned, we got Martini but were many others always having good conversation. The food is very very...

This is an excellent hotel located directly on the long beautiful beach on the east coast of Sansibar. The hotel has a large pool sourounded by palm trees and other tropical plants. Very friendly management and staff who pay attention to you whenever needed. Good food and a large selection of wines and drinks. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. A lovely place to spend your holiday on Sansibar

Our stay at the hotel was fantastic! The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and always friendly — everyone had a smile on their face. A special thank you to the lovely lady who served us every day during breakfast and dinner; she was truly wonderful! The hotel was also clean, tidy, and beautifully maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had been on safari and wanted a quiet place to relax for a few days before heading home. We chose White Paradise and are so glad we did. The resort itself is lovely. The grounds are lush with well planted trees and shrubs . There are two pools. The main pool area is quite large and beautifully landscaped. There is even a swim up bar. They could use a few more loungers. The second smaller pool...

I am delighted with my stay at this luxurious resort. I was upgraded from a standard room to a luxurious bungalow with a king-size bed. The breakfast was exceptional and delicious. I thank all the outstanding staff at the resort, especially Frank, the receptionist, and I hope to visit again in the future. Thank you all.

A good place to,good customer service and friendly

A beautiful hotel, the room was incredible, the pool was very nice, the only drawback is that it doesn't have a beach, because the water inside the hotel isn't pretty. They take you to and from the beach, but it's still worth it, staying there for two or three days and going on excursions.

Nice hotel but the beach is terrible. People are hospitable

Very good hotel, full of privacy and comfort. The hotel has a super good swimming pool and a large space. You can swim and dine in the hotel. Or enjoy the sea view. There are different programs every night, singing and dancing, etc.

This resort in Zanzibar is perfect for honeymooners and relaxing by the pool. It is centrally located for excursions. It has an excellent resturant accessed by a long boardwalk over the changing tides. The staff are very friendly and attentive to your needs

The hotel is very nice but is starting to look a little tired in places. The swimming pool and beach are lovely and it's a very relaxing place to be. The food I'm afraid is not good. My friend and I arrived mid morning and we had left Arusha very early in the morning so we needed coffee and something to eat. We were given a cup of instant coffee, dried bread and a couple of stale croissants....not...

This hotel is for some reason listed as 3*, but it punches way above that and the experience we had was much nearer to 5*. Everything was perfect here. The staff were so attentive, friendly, helpful and charming. The room was large, comfy bed, good bathroom. The cooking was of a very high standard, plentiful and interesting and appealing to all tastes. The cocktails were delicious and very good value...

We have just had a fabulous week at Pongwe Bay Resort. This is more like a wellness retreat than a hotel. The layout is fantastic. Our chalet/villa was situated on the beach within 50m of the magnificent restaurant and pool. The beach area is idyllic with ample palm tree seated shelters. A 300-meter wooden pier leads to 'The Club' a further restaurant/bar within the Indian Ocean. OUR VILLA We were...

We stayed here during our visit to Zanzibar. A beautiful place, great location, a walk to clean, well maintained beach. 5 mins walk to Kongowea Pier restaurant. Hotel rooms were great, cleaned daily, evening curtain drawn, insecticide sprayed, mosquito net drawn. Lovely relaxing porch, a ladder provided to hang swimming suits by the porch, Breakfast was well organised so was lunch and dinner. Pool...

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon, which we took on our 1yr anniversary. We were welcomed so well there by the team. They helped arrange EVERYTHING for us. Our arrival was splendid. They welcomed us with this very tasty homemade passion fruit juice. Our first dinner was amazing, the portions were bigger than we'd anticipated. Their lobster pasta? In fact their whole seafood dishes...

We stayed for six nights over Christmas and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel safe and truly at home. We enjoyed the pool, the beach, the good food, and especially how the team made Christmas Eve extra special—it felt more like a celebration with friends than a hotel event. On our last day, we were kindly given a late check-out as I wasn...

Spent 5 relaxing days at Spice Island over the Christmas holiday. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. There are a lot of lounging spaces around the pool and facing the beach. Internet is good and the massage I got was better than I expected. The jetty bar is a great place for a sundowners drink, although the sun sets on the other side of the island. Food options for lunch and dinner...

Amazing people, the personal are always happy, and helpful and very kind. The room was extremely clean and very comfortable bed. Amazing beach. Good, tasty food. We had a wonderful time! Thank you for everyone 🙂

The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. The pool is much larger than in other hotels, and the pier was simply unique. From there, you have direct access to the sea and a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean. The entire resort is very well maintained, and the lovingly designed garden invites you to relax. The staff were extremely friendly and always helpful. The food was excellent, we enjoyed...

Incredible location, rooms, amenities, activities and people. We were really impressed by every detail and I suspect we will be back :-)

We loved staying at Spice Island hotel and resort. We noticed how the staff was very friendly from the first moment. We also really enjoyed our room and the food. No complaints at all.
