5 Star Hotels in Jambiani, Unguja South Region

"The staff was amazing "

"I stayed 9 nights (Feb 24) in Residence Zanzibar together with my 3 daughters (13, 17, 20y.) to have "onetime" holiday that included also safari in Tanzania. Hotel is situated approx. 90min far from an airport, surrounded by a tropical garden. Hotel offers only villas with private pools. We stayed at Frangipani villa, which easily accomodates 4 almost adult persons. Villa is very large (3 rooms, 2 bathrooms) pleasant, private pool very spacious. One may say, that a furniture is a little bit...

"We enjoyed our stay at the Le Mersenne and loved the detail and design of the room. Well appointed. The service was great, location is close to Paje Beach and the Treehouse Restaurant but also far from Stone Town and other popular beaches so plan to either book a driver or rent a car. We booked a scooter thru the hotel and traveled to Paje. DJ played great music at the hotel. We loved the vibe! With that said, a few things to be noted … Limited food options and we grew bored of the pricey...

"Our stay here was amazing! Beautiful resort and staff. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The buffet style food was fresh and good. The rooms were clean and kept cool. We enjoyed the outdoor shower. Great views for pictures and videos if you’re a content creator or just enjoy doing so. I would definitely recommend this resort. "

"Great facilities, very nice staff, various new food every day. The only remark is the beach which witnesses a very high tide, so swimming is impossible in the morning till around 2PM. But you can use this time to visit the island. Other than that, everyone is helpful and attends to your needs. Definitely recommend."

"An amazing place with wonderful staff. I enjoyed every moment"

"lovely resort, rooms are very nice and clean however communication between the staff was terrible, requests that were made and confirmed prior to arrival were not met, information given to us on check in was poor and not accurate. staff failed to communicate guest requirements to other members of staff "

"The hotel is phenomenal. We rented a 2-bed villa with private pool. It was clean, luxurious and very private. The service exceptional with special attention from the staff at every turn. The food was amazing buffet and a la carte options. The entire staff is to be commended for their friendliness, attention to detail, and going the extra mile. A special thank you to Esther who sourced special seafood dishes for us to make our experience even more memorable. We will definitely not hesitate to...

"Fruit & spice was like paradise, the staff was excellent , only complaint was the power went out a lot & the running water in our room went out a few times "

"This is an idyllic, quiet, adults only hotel. The rooms are lovely and modern with air conditioning. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the 4 course a La carte dinner is outstanding with lots of choice and variety. The location is right on the white Sandy beach with lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend. "

"Great staff, service, food, & ocean views "

"Fantastic place. Rooms , service, views, food i the restaurant. Thank you Hanna and team for making our stay so enjoyable"

"Serene place with excellent view from the room. The staff were great, friendly and attentive. Enjoyable time."

"This was a beautiful property with an extremely spacious cottage available for us! The grounds are beautiful and the staff were gracious and extremely helpful! It's right on the ocean. Highly recommend for everyone."

"Clean quiet beach, good food & friendly & helpful staff. The ideal end to a safari holiday "

"What I didn’t like was our room reservation wasn't available because it was occupied for the first night, so they had to graded us. The next day we had an reservation for their best room but this time it was supposedly in maintenance so it wasn’t available. They gave us the “exclusive suite” and they cover all our meals for two days for the inconvenience. But the truth was it was actually given to another guest. We went to sleep yet that night we woke up several times to a rat going through our...

"Truly excellent boutique hotel, with 1st class service and team. Attention to details is second to none. Our butler Idrissa was excellent. Food quality really good. After few days at the White Sand, we moved to another 5* hotel up North... Hmm... Not the same category. "

"An experience beyond compare. The staff, the location, the villas, the bliss of it all. If you are wanting an exclusive lodge, this is the answer to a stress free, unwinding break. Enjoy!"
