- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 301 reviewsAmazing stay !! There is no better Hotel in Zanzibar The amenities, the room, the food, the location and especially the staff, everything was perfect. There is no better location in Zanzibar, it's located in the northern part of the island which is much less affected by the tides than the rest of the island. Compare to the other hotels nearby, the Gold has THE best private beach, it's wide, clean, very well maintained and the deckchair are very confortable and spaced from one another. The room is great, the bed very confortable and the housekeeping will come twice a day, including at night to prepare your bed, set the mosquito net and spray it with repellent. Not once have we seen mosquitos in our room, a huge advantage for a peace of mind when traveling in Africa. The food at the buffet for breakfast, lunch and diner is just the best: savory, fresh, and the menu changes everyday. It's mentioned on almost every comment here and it does not disappoint. Definitely recommend to get half board or all inclusive. A huge plus : they use a particular mix to attract any bees, mosquitos, hornet.. outside of the restaurant, you won't be bothered there as well. The best part is yet the staff, amazing!! everyone is so genuine and kind its incredible. Huge thanks to Emanuel who maintains a breathtaking vegetable garden , he will be very happy to show you around. Latifah at the beach, Whadija at the restaurant, thank you so much. Congratulation to the Genral Manager for maintaining a perfect place with a great, great team! Thank youGuest review byBenjaminFrance
- From US$565 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 691 reviewsWe , a Swiss couple stayed just recently for a week in Tui Blue Bahari ! . We were very pleased that all the pictures shown on the booking website truly reflect the reality ! The beach resort is so spacious with lots of well kept greeneries and flowers around the place. Rooms are cleaned daily and upon returning to our room, we frequently found our newly made bed, decorated with flowers. The food and the service in the different restaurants are excellent ! We do not forget the whole giant swordfish which was sliced into pieces in front of our eyes and put onto the grill. A sentimental moment was the queue of singing waiters as well as the Cook, singing Happy Birthday on the very day of my birthday! Unlike in other hotels , the management here mingles among the guests, talked to them and is truly interested in hearing positive as well as negative feedbacks. Doing some jogging along the beach, I saw some other all-inclusive hotels , yet this convinced us that our choice was the perfect one ! This is really a very nice place to stay for a great holiday !! We surely recommend this Tue Blue Bahari Resort Hotel to our families and friends !! And we will surely come back here !Guest review byantonSwitzerland
- From US$722 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 406 reviewsWe loved our stay at The Residence so much that we came back even though we'd paid at another place already! The villas are amazing and the location right on the beach can't be beat. The staff are welcoming, kind, and helpful. The food is delicious with a good mix of Zanzibari cuisine as well as Western for those who are less adventurous. The spa treatments are relaxing, well done, and good value. There are bikes at the villas to get around, but it's very walkable. I'd recommend walking as you get a better chance to see wildlife (we saw dik diks, an elephant shrew, a bush baby, and, of course, monkeys).Guest review byJenniferUnited Kingdom
- From US$1,033 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.5Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 126 reviewsTulia was an absolute beauty- luxurious. The staff service was top, the details on the building, the place is soo serene. I can’t praise it enough… it was calming. Michaelle treats you like you are her only guest- with much care and attention. They do fine dining so there is two options to pick on for main course each day- which might be limiting for some. It was not the case for us. We loved Tulia and hope to be back again next time in Zanzibar!Guest review byPatriciaSouth Africa

Zanzibar is beautiful and a very safe city. They have an organized transport system for tourists . I travelled to Nungwi beach and it was really a beautiful place.

Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food.

We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.Guest review byMarijaCroatia - 10.0

Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.Guest review byYolisaSouth Africa - 8.0

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.Guest review byCatharinaSouth Africa - 10.0

This is not a touristy location... it is off the beaten track... a village, by the sea, with an increasing number of resorts being added. I hope it does not lose its charm to the crowds. This is a quiet, special place.Guest review byFionaUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Michamvi is good for relaxing and enjoying . There are few vendors and they are not disturbing you and friendly.
