Featuring room service, this property also has a restaurant and a terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a kids' club and free WiFi throughout the property. Voici la traduction du texte en anglais : Exceptional stay at the Royal Mandarin. The staff were very attentive, special thanks to Ahmed, who took great care of us, and Amir for his kindness and availability. Mohamed for organizing the massages and our favorite servers, James, Peter, Obama, and BK, as well as all the others. We highly recommend this establishment due to its geographical location, a beach always cleaned of seaweed, crystal-clear water, and exceptional rooms. Once again, a big thank you to everyone. We're looking forward to seeing you in january. Farid & Raquel

Located in Jambiani, 300 metres from Jambiani Beach, Zanzi Soul Luxury Boutique Hotel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. This 4-star hotel offers a kids' club, room service and free WiFi. Guests can enjoy African and American dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the bar. Loved the energy of the place, it is a tuktuk ride away from Paje which is the part of the island I prefer. The staff was super attentive and helpful. The room itself had the perfect video of the water. I totally recommend this spot, and when I asked for a late check out they agreed right away. There is a restaurant inside the hotel that has fresh food and a great breakfast!

Facing the beachfront, Clove Island Essence & Spa Boutique offers 5-star accommodation in Matemwe and features free bikes, outdoor swimming pool and garden. Among the facilities at this property are room service and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel has a terrace and sea views, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. A magical place in Zanzibar. Everything was beautiful and perfectly thought out in every detail. The hotel has a charming, boutique feel – definitely more so than a typical resort. The breakfasts were delicious and fresh, and the wide, sandy beach is a true paradise – one of the most beautiful on the entire island, perfect for long, peaceful walks. We visited both Clove hotels – the one in Makunduchi also left a very good impression on us.
