Everything was great. The location, the room, the pool, the breakfast. In our two months in Zanzibar we’ve been all over the island and this is truly one of the best places we’ve been to. the staff is very involved, which means that the accommodation is well maintained and everything runs smoothly. Hope it stays that way, so I can come back some day! They have lovely dogs too by the way :)

In a world where tourism is full of large hotel chains, finding a boutique hotel like Hekaya is beyond delightful. Only 5 rooms all oceanfront on an amazing beach which has an awesome sand bar which you can walk out on for half a kilometre. Service level is 11/10 as the staff is very professional, super helpful and friendly! They really helped me out when my airport taxi didn’t show up. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Pongwe Beach Hotel is embedded in a beautiful tropical garden and situated right at the beach. We‘ve loved its secluded location, the beach is not accessible during high tide and that means that you don‘t get bothered by beach boys as much (rarely ever, to be honest). We‘ve had a beach front room that was literally a stone‘s throw away from the beach, it couldn‘t have been any more convenient! The room was spacious and spotless, also our 14yr old daughter had a full single bed to use. The turn down service in the evening is something you don‘t usually see in that category, so we were pleasantly surprised. Another nice touch is the option to order early morning coffee / tea, that gets quietly delivered to your terrace from 07:00 am onwards, so as an early bird you can enjoy your first cup of coffee on the daybed of your room terrace and enjoy the wonderful beach view whilst others are still sleeping. We‘ve booked half board and were not disappointed - the menu was very diverse, each day you could choose between meat / fish / vegetarian options for your main course. There‘s a buffet twice a week as well, plus evening entertainment on 2 days, we‘ve enjoyed both very much! The staff is most welcoming and attentive, no matter if housekeeping, restaurant, reception….as a guest you feel your presence is appreciated and every wish is taken care of. I usually never book 3-star hotels, but with this one got tempted because of its exceptional reviews - and they are all true, so can highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Zanzibar Bay Resort, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. This hidden gem on the stunning island of Zanzibar exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the moment I arrived, the staff at Zanzibar Bay Resort made me feel not just like a guest but like a valued member of their extended family. The level of friendliness and accommodation displayed by the staff was truly exceptional. They were always ready to assist with a warm smile, and their attention to detail in ensuring a comfortable stay was commendable. One of the highlights of my stay was undoubtedly the sensational cuisine offered at the resort. The chefs expertly crafted a menu that seamlessly blended international flavours with delicious local dishes. The variety and quality of the food were beyond compare, and each meal felt like a culinary journey through the vibrant tastes of Zanzibar. From the tantalising spices to the freshness of locally sourced ingredients, every bite was a celebration of the island's rich culinary heritage. The resort itself is a paradise of tranquility, with lush greenery, breathtaking views, and a serene ambiance that invites relaxation. Whether lounging by the pristine pool or strolling along the sandy beach, every moment felt like a postcard-worthy scene from paradise. Zanzibar Bay Resort truly offers a special experience that goes beyond the ordinary. It's a place where warm hospitality, delectable cuisine, and the beauty of the surroundings converge to create memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend this resort to anyone seeking a luxurious and culturally enriching getaway. My time at Zanzibar Bay Resort was nothing short of magical, and I cannot wait to return to this slice of paradise.

The staff here are fantastic! They’re friendly and go above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating. The attention to detail is excellent and the personalised little touches are an extra treat. They just made our stay unforgettable. Especially Hashim and Glory, who we will miss very much and must come back and visit! It’s a beautiful hotel in luscious tropical gardens that feels secluded and private at the same time as well connected with other places nearby to visit and other hotels and restaurants along the beautiful white sandy beach. The pool is wonderful and always immaculately clean with beautiful views of the ocean. The food was also excellent! The best in the area for sure so no need to eat anywhere else. The chef included delicious veggie options every day on the menu of the day so I never ate the same thing twice! The excellent reviews here are truly deserved and I would highly recommend staying here for a relaxing or active few days. Also a shout out to the ladies in the spa, who added blissful pampering to the unforgettable experience! Thanks for having us! Heidi and Anne Gunn ❤️

Our family had a wonderful holiday at the hotel. The staff was always in touch and responded to any request immediately. Khamis Ali was extremely kind and really helped us out on our last day. We forgot our camera at the hotel and remembered it only when we arrived at the airport. Khamis did the impossible - he sent a driver with a camera in a short time and 5 minutes before boarding closed, he arrived and handed over our forgotten things. We are very grateful to him. It is not every day that you meet such responsive people. We recommend everyone to stay for a holiday at wonderful hotel The Sand Beach resort.

This place is the best stay of Zanzibar. It’s a tropical paradise, right by the beach and great location just a quick walk away from the famous rock restaurant. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, loved the decor and especially the outdoor bathroom gives a more island feel . The pool is warm and with great views . The staff is friendly, easy to book excursions with the team and they recommend what would be the best excursions for us . Everything was exceptional, definitely coming back for a girls trip there because it’s so peaceful, it’s was like an eat pray love Zanzibar experience.

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from...

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from Forodhani, and the journey can feel quite long—particularly if you have just arrived in Zanzibar. The drive is somewhat uncomfortable due to the condition of the road, which consists largely of worn, uneven tarmac. Additionally, the area lacks local street food options, leaving nearby hotels—most of which are high-end and expensive—as the primary dining choices. As someone who genuinely enjoys the rich and flavorful cuisine of Stone Town, I found the food in the area to be rather bland and not reflective of its price point.

Please remember that Marumbi is a Village in a poor third world country and therefore there is very little to do. A few local shops. A couple of local Restaurants (We loved Bustani), no bars and a hotel that doesn’t welcome outsiders. If you are looking for nightlife it’s probably not for you.

This area has less tourism than some other areas in Zanzi bar, it has what you need, different restaurangs, a super market, beachbar and so on. There is not so many other tourists here so you feel like its really a part of an small island. If you are looking for highend dining and alot of shopping then i advise you to look for another area or do as we did - get a car or a taxi its ok priced for a full day. The traffic was really suprising - its was better then most so called modern countries - slow, keeping distance -respecting each other - we rented a car for 3 days and it was super nice. We payed 30usd/day + 10usd for the local driving license - dont drive to fast or drunk - the police are really on there toes - and mind the big roadbumps... We ate a lot of lobster and fish - always fresh - never dissapointed, we also ate alot of vegetarian food - its everywere great dishes.

The location was excellent.

The location was excellent. The vegetation was very nice, and the seating places were very comfortable. Following my unfavourable interaction with cats, we were upgraded to a bigger room with an ocean view since I have ailurophobia (cat phobia). Thanks to the hotel owners for such a gesture. We had an issue with our bank card, and they also gave us more time during our stay to sort this out. Disliked · Being an Ailurophobia (Cats phobic), I did not enjoy the outdoor space because several cats roamed everywhere, including the restaurant, balconies and stairs. This has nothing to do with the owners but my personal condition. I advise those with similar conditions to avoid this place. Areas of improvement include breakfast - more food diversity and a balanced diet are needed. The beds in the rooms need to be fixed to avoid noise. Bathrooms need upgrading.
