4 Star Hotels in Unguja, Tanzania

"Great location and staff were amazing "

"This was a fantastic resort. I would not hesitate to stay at any RIU property in the future. "

"Great beach"

"We decided to visit Zanzibar to get our dream beach wedding. The location, organisation and helpful staff of Diamonds Mapenzi Beach made it better that we could ever imagine and beyond our wildest dreams. "

"Very good hotel, close to everything you need. Very good structure in front of the beach."

"Excellent property with private beach access to white sands at Nungwi. The rooms are also top notch, lot of greenery and baobab trees on the property. The in house restaurant offers delicious food with options from multiple international cuisines. Sandies Baobab is a perfect location for people looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation."

"Staff was friendly and courteous, our ocean facing room was well appointed. Drinks at the bar were tasty. Free breakfast had a nice variety and made to order omelets "

"The property is hidden, and a small walk from the main Tembo hotel, but what makes up for it is the wonderful staff. Their friendliness, and willing to assist you at everything. The breakfast menu was amazing, a mix of everything which was very pleasant. The rooms can use alittle bit of an upgrade, and they should probably prohibit photo sessions from people on the streets, as there was alot of flash on the outside (but maybe an exception because of the public holiday). I would definitely stay...

"The hotel is very rustic and feels like it fits within the ambience of Zanzibar. located right on the white sands next to the Indian Ocean with restaurants nearby, that are accessible by walking along the beach. The owners and staff were so welcoming and truly lovely people. The hotel is of a size where you get to know the staff and they know you. Highly recommend it....."

"I stayed here for a week and every day I felt welcomed. I’ve already recommend this location to all my friends and family."

"Amazing character, this. Hotel has a charm that totally enhanced my stay and out in context where I was and the history. The staff - omg so courteous and helpful, in all my travels I have not experienced more genuine hospitality "

"Nice place to stay, however u can hear the noise from the hallway n next door. I wish they had grab bars near the toilet seat which is quite low. Older people with arthritic knees like me would have problem rising from the seat. Other than that the hotel is very pleasant. "

"If you are on business trip or leisure and you want to be close to city and airport this is ideal location. The rooms are huge and very cozy. All rooms have Sea View and it has number of small boats for rent... like for fishing etc. Over the weekend there is waterpark which comes to life and it is amazing."

"The property was very quiet and provided a great place to relax and unwind and enjoy the sunshine along with the pool for cooling off. The staff was very attentive and provided anything needed. The Valentine's night dinner was amazing along with the room decorations. Every detail made the night special for me and my partner. I will never forget it. "

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful hotel in colonial style. Renovation took place when we stayed there, and that caused noise and dirt/dust. We would stay there again if we came to Stone Town. "

"Great property and staff. "

"Staff was friendly and accommodating. Chose the hotel for proximity to airport since I had a 3am flight. (Walkable distance but not in the middle of the night) Their charge for the 3min drive was exorbitant, so I arranged on my own. "

"This property itself was beautiful. Our room had two stories, and our room upstairs opened up to the restaurant, and the beautiful rooftop view. The staff here were so nice and helped us to plan everything we wanted to do. Also, the location of this place is very convenient, very close and walkable distance to the night food market, and different historic locations in Stonetown. We loved our stay here and will definitely go back. Only complaint we had was that the drain in the shower went down...

"Initially when I attempted to check in they overbooked me and did not have a room for me. They were able to shift me around and accommodate me, moving me 3 rooms in 3 nights. Staff was very friendly and helpful with the process, and apologetic. "

"Very nice hospitality very beautiful ocean view secluded and quiet "
