- From US$563 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 694 reviewsWe all loved TUI and had amazing holidays. We would definitely come back! The property is beautiful, has a lot of activities and a tropical scenery. Now to the specifics: The staff in general were super friendly and happy. A special thanks to Kelvin from the beach bar. The food was absolutely amazing, from the breakfast buffet, to the lunch in green & grill (paid, as we had only half pension), to all the dinner options - except Andiamo, see below. We specially loved the buffets at the beach and around the pool. We did 2 tours from the hotel which were great and the same price of outside companies. We strongly recommend the swimming with dolphins tour, that can be book at the hotel’s diving shop. Go in the afternoon when there’s less people. They take you on a boat and when you see dolphins you jump to the water! It’s a good workout as you do this multiple times to get a perfect shot :) The swimming pool is great and always had chairs available - great due to the low tide at the beach. This side of the island has the low tide phenomenon which makes it impossible to go swim in the ocean for some hours. But that’s nature. If you do try, take aqua shoes because there’s a lot of sea urchins. There’s free sandwiches, fruit and water at the reception 24h/day.Guest review byAnaPortugal
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,409 reviewsThis year we spent our Christmas vacation at the Riu Palace Zanzibar Hotel. It was already our second Christmas holiday in this hotel. I would like to thank you for the wonderful days spent in this hotel. Where to start? From the beach (beautiful clean beach, great service of beach boys and security), bar and restaurant staff very nice, attentive. Yohana always greeted us in the main restaurant with a nice smile (we thank him for always a nice welcome). Food quality very good. A mix of Indian, Italian and international cuisine. In my opinion, the rooms are beautiful, stylish, always beautifully cleaned and smelling :-) Every day before going to bed, they prepare your room again. At sunset, have a drink at the Ginger bar by the pool and take photos. Unforgettable! Special thanks to the Assistant General Manager Mr. Ghosh. An excellent person not only as a personality, but also from a professional point of view. Always available and willing to help. Thank youGuest review byMichaelaCzech Republic
- From US$1,040 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 298 reviewsMy wife and I stayed at Gold Zanzibar for 6 days for our honeymoon. Everything was amazing and beyond our expectations! The room was super clean, and the food was amazing. We also got two coupons for dinner and a massage as a gift for our wedding, which was very kind. But the reason, the resort will stay in our hearts forever, is the staff at the hotel. They were all so nice and really made us feel like at home. I would like to mention Jackson from the reception, who always helped us with the right answers and Issa from the restaurant who always welcomed us with smile and kindness. In the evening, the staff from towel center played beach volleyball with us, so we got an opportunity to meet and hang out with them. They were all so nice and helpful, especially Said who is funny and lovely guy with good sense of humour and best volleyball player! Staying and Gold Zanzibar was lovely experience.Guest review byJan SmoleSlovenia
- From US$305 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 1,270 reviewsWe had an amazing stay at Kendwa Rocks Hotel and loved everything about it! Positives: 1. The location and beach are breathtaking, and the option to enjoy services at the beach beds is a great touch. 2. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always greeted us with a smile. 3. There are plenty of activities to choose from, making the stay fun and engaging. 4. We stayed in two suites, both of which were fantastic—well-equipped and very comfortable. 5. The entire property felt safe, which added to our peace of mind. 6. Even the shisha team was friendly and added to the relaxed vibe.Guest review byJanosHungary
- From US$460 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 143 reviewsBluebay Beach is a lovely resort with a nice beach front. The meals were very good with a large variety of dishes. During dinner and afterwards there are shows and music for entertainment. All in all a great stay. Just a note if you have problems walking up the stairs - ask for one of the bungalows close to the main building, as some buildings are really up high (with a beautiful view though). Highlight was the Aqua fitness and the coconut demonstrations. We learned a lot!Guest review bymarijkeSouth Africa

Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.Guest review byYolisaSouth Africa - 10.0

Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food.

We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.Guest review byMarijaCroatia - 8.0

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.Guest review byCatharinaSouth Africa - 10.0

This is not a touristy location... it is off the beaten track... a village, by the sea, with an increasing number of resorts being added. I hope it does not lose its charm to the crowds. This is a quiet, special place.Guest review byFionaUnited Kingdom - 10.0
