"An absolute gem — Kizikula was one of the highlights of our trip and easily one of the best boutique hotels we’ve ever stayed at. Our room was stunning, beautifully designed, and filled with thoughtful little details. Everything was impeccably clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. You can really feel the care that has gone into every aspect of the property. The staff were exceptional — warm, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. They went above and beyond throughout our stay, and no...

Reef & Beach Resort

Reef & Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay at Reef & Beach! The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful, the site was beautiful, the food and drinks were delicious (and the range of cocktails included in the all-inclusive package were wonderful, which often isn’t the case), and we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a sea view bungalow which was amazing! The only potential area for improvement could be the bathroom in our bungalow - compared to the public toilets on site the finish was a little rough around the edges and there was a constant slight bad odour, but it wasn’t really enough to bother us (it wasn’t too extreme and keeping the door shut was sufficient to stop the whole room smelling). We absolutely loved the swimming pool, and it was such a cool opportunity to get up close and personal to the colobus monkeys! We also loved the shops on site - it was the only time on our trip we were able to buy souvenirs without being harassed by market owners/street traders, and to pay by card! The evening entertainment was fantastic, we had such a blast dancing with the band and bar staff at the jetty bar on our last night before going home! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone coming to Zanzibar. Thank you so much for an amazing stay! :)"
