Dreamy Getaway

Review of The Zanzibari
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Jun 2024
An idillic spot just on the outskirts of Nungwi, we could walk along the beach at low tide about 30 mins..
Our room the deluxe ocean views was absolutely perfect just informant of the sea..
Our cleaning ladies were lovely and kept a our rooms spotless and made countless efforts with flowers to adorn our rooms..
Food at the restaurant was lovely the giant prawns especially !!
Beds were super comfy all in all a great place to stay.

5/5
I love everything about this place and my interactions with the staff from check-in to check out. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. Our driver was friendly and made sure we got to our destinations on time. The ocean view was so calm and relaxing!

Room tip: The best time to go is during off season.

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Zanzibari Boutique Hotel. The ocean was beautiful, beach very private, resort was relatively quiet and serene. Comfortable beach chairs with shade and towels always readily available. Salt water infinity pool overlooking the stunning clear blue ocean. Can walk out very far at low tide to sand bank and see tons of starfish and coral (with shoes the resort can provide). Overall very inexpensive compared to similar level hotels in US or Europe. Food was delicious, as were cocktails. Entertainment some nights of the week including acrobats, live music. Service was phenomenal - not too pushy but the appropriate level of helpfulness. Plans any tours you’d like to do. Gladly accommodates and arranges any transportation needs. Perfect place for a relaxing trip.

The site was attractive, but the room was sparsely furnished, and the food menu was not great. Biggest disappointment was there was no beach, only coral and rocks, the sea went out quarter of a mile and not possible to swim in the sea or walk on sand. The nearest beach was 20 minute walk or taxi ride. Not really a boutique hotel.

Thanks to all of you at the Zanzibari ! We spend a marvellous time and our marriage you organised on the beach will stay in our memories to the end of our lives.
And for the rest : excellent food, excellent service, room at the top (we had a private swimming pool). Congrats !
