Zanzibar beachfront accommodation

Where do I even begin?! 😍✨ THE STAFF – Absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ Honestly, some of the friendliest, warmest and most welcoming people we have ever encountered! Every single one of them made our stay extra special. A big shout-out to Robin at the Front Desk for making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Gasper and Miraji, our Go-Kart champions, thank you for the endless rides and all the fun around the compound! Selemani and Andrea from Sports & Beach kept us entertained throughout our stay. Rashid, thank you for getting us moving with those fun pool dance sessions and aqua exercises – you certainly made sure we didn't just eat and relax! 😂💃 And Carlos, thank you for the fantastic Salsa lessons – we loved every minute! Finally, William at Mawe Bar, you certainly made sure our glasses were never empty! 壟 THE ROOMS – WOW! 🛏️ Super clean, beautifully maintained and those views... simply AHH-MAZING! THE FOOD – DELICIOUS! 🍽️ Let's just say we definitely came back home with a few extra pounds! 😂 The food was fantastic! A special mention to Salt & Cut Carnivorous Restaurant – an absolute MUST-TRY! And if you're looking for breathtaking beach views, Al Mar Social Lounge is the place to be! All in all, an unforgettable experience, made even more special by an incredible team who genuinely go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. We came as guests, but left feeling like family. ❤️

Breakfast was nice. This hotel is near the sights in Stone Town. Walk through the narrow shopping streets to the slave market in just a few minutes. Freddie Mercury residence is just around the corner from the hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful, although I did have to ask 4 times to get the TV working.

Absolutely first class holiday and resort. Food was exceptionally good, both in the a La Carte restaurants and the buffet, grounds were immaculate, staff were friendly and warm. The pool areas and raised beach were fabulous. If you had a question or needed help with something, dial 9 and reception staff sorted it without ever needing to leave your room. Without doubt one of our best holidays ever and we will be going back next year without a doubt. The only note of caution would relate to disabled or elderly clients, the resort is well advertised as large and sprawling and dotted around a hillside, so walking about for some might be difficult. We loved with Island and would rate this holiday overall as a 10/10!
