Mangapwani Vacation Rentals

"What a wonderful island and hotel. No complaints at all, fabulous holiday. Now to start saving up to return "

"Absolutely fantastic. After reading so many negative reviews about the disturbance from the construction I was a little worried, but it was never a bother and our stay was perfect. Shout out to Wanduta for being the sweetest! "

"Great place to stay in downtown area. It is right on the beach!"

"Amazing hotel and staff! My every need was met and there was always a staff member close by who was willing to help. We arrived early and our rooms were not ready, they took our bags from us and allowed us to get ready in the change rooms. We went to our excursion and came back to find our luggage in our rooms! They even offered late check out for us! Ahmed is the best bartender ever! Made the best drinks and always had a smile on his face! Too many amazing staff to call out. I will miss Lux Marijani and the memories I had made over that week! The only down side I would say is the location is a bit far from stone town and other excursions around Zanzibar. However, the remote location makes for relaxation, quiet and great beaches! Expect a minimum of 1.5 hours each way to commute into the city areas like Stone Town. Other than that, for what you get in quality and celebrity treatment, the distance is the minimum of your worries! The staff literally cater to your every need! One other story, I came back from an excursion and needed dental floss. A staff member was prepared to call a pharmacy to get someone to deliver it to my room. I declined because it wasn’t necessary but just goes to demonstrate how serious they take guest satisfaction! Loved this place and will miss it tremendously. "

"I have travelled a lot and by far this is one of the best hotels I have visited. All the staff are friendly, Mwajabu, Mary, Mariam (at shisha), Simone…..the list is too long. Will definitely be back!"

"The hotel was very nice. Good customer service 👍 "

"Great decor! Brand new wing is lovely but note is separate to the main hotel. Excellent breakfast. Very honest staff. The hotel tours team v high std and good value for Dhow and snorklong trips. Spa appraently good but disaapintingly hard to book. "

"Amazing view of the beach from the hotel. Staff and cleaners are very accomodating "

"Friendly stafff and I believe his name “The King” is very funny and full of good vibes. Will visit again!!"
