We had such a wonderful stay at Alma during our first night in Zanzibar. They were able to arrange a driver for us from the airport, and it was a very smooth process. The rooms are beautiful, the beach gorgeous, and the food/drinks delicious. What stands out about this place, though, is its friendly service. Everyone was so kind, helpful, attentive, and ensured we had a magical time. Special shout-outs to Jamila at the front desk and Fathinely in the restaurant who took such extra great care of...

The reviews on this place did not serve it justice! I was blown away at the amenities that were not mentioned. When you arrive you are greeted with a welcome drink and cleansing towel. There is a restaurant on site and you basically get a concierge that you can message whenever you need something. They even provide a grocery list of things they can shop for you and will do your laundry (both for a fee). Shuttle to sister hotel to go to the beach was a good plus (no fee). Staff was...

We could only stay one night. For sure next time we'll book for more.
We had a room on the first floor viewing the swimming pool side (not the garden) and the sea.
Everything was perfect : the decoration, the room, the team, the food.

I have loved staying here. I have stayed 8 nights and enjoyed every moment. A calm, peaceful place that feels like home, just a minute walk from the gorgeous beach. This place is family run and it has been lovely interacting with them every day. The staff is very helpful and kind, they have quickly become friends to me. Would come back any time.

Wow if I told about everything amazing about the Nur beach hotel 1500 characters would not be enought. Its an amazing new hotel (July 2015) with 10 bungalows. It has a great swimming pool in the middle of it with an amazing view on in my opinion the best beach in Zanzibar. Rooms get cleaned everyday, you get also beach towels. The staff is so amazing and friendly that you will feel like at home and will be very sad when leaving from there. The food is very good, we enjoyed the tapas every...

We had a wonderful time at Meliks! We stayed for two nights, and Chris went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed. On our arrival, we were greeted warmly by the staff, and they helped us take the bags upstairs to the room. The room was great- not huge, but it worked for the two of us. The wind blew in the windows which had shutters and in conjunction with the fan, we stayed cool on some hot days! The bathroom was clean and had hot water- only downside is that the door to...

I have just returned from a seven day holiday in Zanzibar and can positively say that Sea View Lodge Boutique Hotel was excellent.
Upon arrival we were instantly made to feel welcome by all staff. As this is quite a small boutique hotel, the manager was very interactive with guests and was very informative about things to do in the area and accommodated/organised any day trips etc that we were interested in doing.

would stay here again. Overall, the hotel was clean and well-maintained, and I appreciated that aspect of my stay. However, the biggest issue I experienced was the strong smell coming from the toilets, almost as if the sewage system wasn’t working properly. It was unpleasant and made the stay uncomfortable at times. Maybe it was just our room.

I stayed for four nights. Getting there from the airport is best by taxi. You can coordinate with the hotel to get a driver to pick you up for $35. Otherwise, the airport taxis will charge you up to $60 for a one way trip. The town of Jambiani very poor and there's nothing to see. However, the beaches are very nice.
