Perfect place for honeymoon, villa was amazing and very clean. Served breakfast and dinner are a game changer comparing to buffets. Villas are private, but entrance to the garden is opened and anybody can enter anytime, haven’t happened to us fortunately. Stuff is very friendly, they sometimes bothered us too much, so we couldn’t enjoy hotels beach as much as we would like to, but private pool was perfect escape, where we could feel very relaxed

I could say many things about this amazing property, starting with the beautiful rooms and the constant assistance by its super kind staff but to be honest I was particularly impressed by the location that is a real wonder of nature: this place is a paradise. I was upgraded in a Suite and I could enjoy one of the best sunset I can remember in recent times, not to mention the pristine beach. One special mention to the chef who assisted us personally and prepared some unforgettable Italian "spaghetti ai frutti di mare"!

Five star hotel. The best hotel we could have dream of. The emplacement, the attention, the services was just extraordinary, everything was meticulously cleaned and tidy. Anita’s attention made our stay even better, she was like an angel to us. The staff attention and help was also incredible. The hotel has an amazing view and private beach that we high recommend to use when the sea level is low. You can ask to have lunch outside when sea level is low and have the most romantic and best view ever. The landscape from the hotel is breathtaking. The rooms very extremely cleaned, we had to services per day to prepare the rooms for the day and night. Breakfast was extremely generous and delicious. The bathroom it’s European very clean and luminous, as the rooms. Water was also given by the hotel in the rooms. You can also have coconuts for free during the day freshly taken and cutted which were delicious. Food is generous and very well presented and high quality the breakfast was excellent, you can order whatever you want on the menu and everything we tried was delicious.

All five-star hotels in Zanzibar City

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

    The Hotel is one of the nicest on the island. However you can’t compare with a 5 star on Europe. But for the island is a nice one. The staff is super helpful.

    for a 5 star hotel, it probably is by Zanzibar hotel ratings which you should not confuse with normal 5 star hotels. Very difficult to find anything wrong, but then again very difficult to find anything great about it
