Nungwi Dreams by Mantis

Nungwi Dreams by Mantis

8/10 Good
"The place was absolutely wonderful! 😍 With two swimming pools, several restaurants and bars, and a lovely area to walk along the beach, there’s plenty to enjoy. The view from my balcony was beautiful, and the whole setting was just gorgeous. What really stood out for us, though, was the staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and genuinely happy to see you. A special thank you to Neema and Khatibu the manager, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They arranged our rooms for us and even went out of their way to organise a late check-out. Their kindness and hospitality really made our stay extra special. ❤️ As beautiful as the hotel is, I personally couldn’t give it 5 stars. There’s nothing major wrong with the place, but the Wi-Fi dropping frequently was frustrating, especially as there are no telephones in the rooms and all communication with the hotel is done via WhatsApp. Don’t get me wrong - I actually think using WhatsApp is a brilliant idea and very convenient, but it really does depend on having a strong and reliable Wi-Fi connection for everything to work smoothly. Overall, it’s a beautiful place with wonderful people, a stunning location and such a lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return."

The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The Mora is a beautiful property with lots of ameneties like spa, dving center and lots of activities. The pools are really nice as well. We enjoyed our stay there but for us to go back few things would need to improve. The cost to stay there is high so we had a level of expectation that was similar to what we got at all inlcusive high end hotels in Kenya. Unfortinately we were disappointed. Drinks: While they are included the quality that was provided was terrible. For example $5 bottles of wine are included that taste terrible and all decent wines have a surcharge. Hard liquor was some local brand that wasn't drinkable. Surcharges for decent liquor was very high. Staff: While staff are nice there is a significant language barrier. If you ask for coffee a certain way or a drink to be made a certian way the staff do not understand. While friendly they need better training. Drinks quality and staff need improvement for us to comsider this resort in the future."

10/10 Excellent
"Zuri Zanzibar is an outstanding resort and easily deserves 5 out of 5 stars. I travel extensively and regularly stay at Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and other luxury resorts, and Zuri matches that level of quality and service. The property itself is stunning. I was especially impressed by the beautiful landscaping and gardens, which are expansive, meticulously maintained and cared for daily. We stayed in a suite with my partner and her best friend, and it was exceptional. The suite was very spacious, with a separate living room that easily accommodated an additional bed, plus a large patio with a hammock and dining table. Our butlers, Peter and Pia, were outstanding. They were incredibly helpful and available 24/7, arranging everything from restaurant reservations and taxis to nightlife, excursions and airport transportation. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent throughout our stay, including the breakfast buffet, beach barbecue and poolside restaurant. The beach is beautiful, the beach bar is terrific, and the nightly sunset fire is a wonderful touch. The water sports and activities staff were also friendly and professional. We visited several other hotels in Zanzibar, and Zuri was by far our favorite property and had the best beach. Beautiful resort, exceptional service and a truly five-star experience."

"Property is beautiful but there is no swimmable beach. They have a shuttle to another resort but they only do it twice a day, You have to pay $10 each but it is consummable, You can use the chairs and umbrellas but by the time you get there after 11 they are all occupied, if you don’t care about the beach then its ok.

10/10 Excellent
"My stay at Canary Kendwa Beach Resort was one of the most beautiful vacations I’ve ever had. Everything exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived. The resort is perfectly located on the stunning Kendwa Beach, with crystal-clear turquoise water, soft white sand, and breathtaking sunsets every evening. Swimming in the warm ocean was an unforgettable experience. Our room was spacious, spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The bathroom was modern, and housekeeping kept everything perfectly clean throughout our stay. The staff were exceptional—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. No request was too much, and they made us feel welcome every day. The food was delicious with plenty of variety, and the beachfront bar served amazing cocktails at great prices. Enjoying drinks while watching the sunset was one of our favorite moments. We also loved the daily activities and evening entertainment. Playing table tennis and watching the international shows made every night fun and memorable. The reception team was always available and very helpful whenever we needed assistance. Canary Kendwa Beach Resort offers the perfect combination of relaxation, beautiful scenery, excellent service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere. We created unforgettable memories here and can’t wait to return. We highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Zanzibar—it truly deserves 5 stars!"
