1. Mvuvi Boutique Resort

Kiwengwa

"An absolutely amazing stay! The rooms were really nice and comfortable. The place is right on the beach (literally, you step onto sand once you enter through the gate). And I can not say enough about how thoughtful, considerate, and kind ALL of the staff are - (for example, they stood by our chairs when we left our towels etc to go into the ocean without us asking or anything!). Definitely will be recommending to all my friends."

"This property is underrepresented , it’s a well balanced blend of nature and contemporary living , with private pods you could confuse for a mini yatch, the lounges , swimming pools , live entertainment, excursions and yet most important is the most courteous staff , where anything with a possibly of discomfort is met with gentle and expedited resolution that you even forget it happened. The distance from the airport is eclipsed by the shuttle service and revelation of this serene and...

"Excellent location. We had money go missing from our room. Check in was very impersonal and after a full days travel we were required to line up again to fill out an pay the government tax, surly this can be done anytime during the stay. The person who took us to our room gave us no information about the place room wise or resort wise. They talk a good service ethic but as far as I was concerned service was non existent. Overpriced for the standard of the overall experience. To make the stay...

10. Kijani Beach Villas

Bwejuu

"Beautifully laid out, beach right out every front door, very clean, staff was helpful and friendly, great food and a quiet but still family atmosphere. You can tell the owners give a lot of attention to the details. Pool was so clean and beautiful. Also the landscaping was stunning and gave it an upscale resort feel while still having an intimate feel. They set up an excursion and airport ride and made the whole process easy. Would HIGHLY recommend this place and would stay here again!"

"Overall bad experience since check in, we had to come back to reception 3 times before getting everything properly, such as wifi card, towels, safe key. At least they allowed us with an early check in. Do not book all inclusive formula since it's a cheat. Even tanzania beer such as serengeti or kilimanjaro are not included, they just serve another beer included. In the room you will find 2 little bottles of water (200ml each). Choose if you want to drink or have a coffee. I live in Tanzania and...

13. Oleza Boutique Hotel

Michamvi

"Vi havde generelt et godt ophold. Servicen var god, og de ansatte var imødekommende og kommunikerende. Værelset var fint, og AC virkede upåklageligt. Eneste minus var badeværelset, som var uden afskærmet brusekabine og bestemt ikke lever op til standarden for et godt hotel. Hotellet har god beliggenhed helt ned til havet, og stranden er dejlig og umiddelbart mindre turistet end andre steder på Zanzibar. "

Top East Coast Zanzibar Hotel Reviews

Aluna Paje

8/10 Good

"You get what you pay for. It is close to not so developed areas so you do need to walk around 5 minutes to get to the beach. Food is ok, gym is a joke, a lot of lizards but thats out of their control. Overall not a bad place if your looking for a hotel less than $100 a night,"

JAZ Amaluna - Adults Only 16+

8/10 Good

"Overall the experience was positive. We arrived at midnight and staff was still readily available to assist. They even left a late night snack in our room upon arrival. If you are seeking a more laid back resort, it certainly fits the bill. I hoped for more activities available on site. The resort went into quiet mode after 10pm. Also I noticed they had a notification board for information but having daily itineraries either available in print in the room or on the tv would have been helpful. Despite the staff being overall helpful, it did appear to be perferential treatment towards certain guests. On more than one occasion I sat in the dining room awaiting acknowledgement and service while other guests who arrived after me received prompt service. The rooms were well maintained and our room attendant decorated our bed daily which was appreciated. I wished snacks were available late night. Having 24 hour bar service with no food options was a disappointment. The daily buffet selections were nice. Special shout out to our tour guide Ali, and bar attendant Anderson."

Melia Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at this resort was absolutely amazing! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality, professional service, and a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were luxurious, clean, and comfortable, with excellent attention to detail. The food was delicious, the facilities were outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure every moment was special. The resort offers the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a world-class getaway. Truly a five-star experience, and I would definitely love to return!"

Alladin Beach Hotel and SPA Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"A Wonderful Place to Relax and Experience Zanzibar! I spent five nights at Alladin Beach Resort following my Kilimanjaro climb, and it was a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Zanzibar. The setting is beautiful, with stunning views of the Indian Ocean and spectacular sunrises. I loved starting my mornings with a coffee, watching the sun come up and taking in the peaceful surroundings. What really made my stay special, though, was the people. The staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely attentive. A special mention to Farah, the bartender, who went out of his way to make me a special drink. Those little personal touches make such a difference. The resort provided a lovely balance of relaxation and opportunities to explore. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the ocean views and the chance to experience a little of the local culture beyond the hotel. After nine days climbing Kilimanjaro, Alladin was exactly the kind of place I needed to recharge. I left with wonderful memories, and I would happily return. Asante sana to everyone at Alladin Beach Resort!"
