From the first moment we entered Zuri it was perfect. This hotel guarantees perfect relaxation and high quality service from A to Z. We were really charmed by the place. Whether it was the spacious and stylish rooms, the highly professional staff, the high class gastronomy to the point of I would say fine dining cuisine or the private beach right by the Indian Ocean or the swimming pool where one could perfectly relax at any time of the day. There is really nothing in Zuri that is not an experience. If one has the opportunity to come to this hotel one should definitely do it because you will not find a better hotel in Zanzibar, and I dare say not even far and wide.

The hotel is at the best beach location. Long walk on the beach in front of many other hotels is possible unlike at other parts of Zanzibar. Many cute little local shops are near just a minute away. All kinds of fantastic water activities and boat tours are right in front of the hotel. The beach is clean and can swim any time, unlike in other areas where you have to wait for high tide not to hurt yourself on the corals. The hotel pool is also very pleasant.

We got the bungalow, right next to the beach with a plunge pool, and enjoyed it throughly. If we come back to zanzibar, will definitely book that kind of room again.
