Hôtels à Pwani Mchangani

Points positifs: The coconut stand

Points positifs: Hotel is good and quite. Food is very good , staff is very good . Clean rooms . I suggest.

Points négatifs: The hotel is very hard to find . I suggest the property to put a remark on the road , we came at night time and it took us 1 hour to find the hotel when we were like 100 meters away . Location is so so and people on the beach are harassing tourists with their tours and activities.

Points positifs: Bel emplacement, belle architecture (locale), jardin très bien entretenu. Le personnel est très avenant et sympatique (un petit bémol pour le manager)

Points négatifs: En demi pension, la qualité du buffet n'est pas constante : Diner et petit déjeuner.

Points positifs: The location is close to snorkeling spots and the diving/snorkelling company working from the hotel is great.

Points négatifs: The beds were uncomfortably hard (and I like firm beds usually). I was in so much physical pain after my first night. The food and buffet is not very good or healthy. I would not normally eat most of the things on offer. The wifi is atrociously poor (do not rely on it), there are maybe 2 tv channels which sporadically work and it is completely inappropriate for this hotel to list a gym in their facilities! It looked like it hadn’t been used in years and there is no aircon in the gym. The pool temperature is like a bathtub and my sister and I were harassed by locals on the beach of the hotel. We felt really uncomfortable. At other resorts they do a much better job at keeping people away.

Points négatifs: The food wasn’t good at all. The staff was not very helpful and a receptionist made us take the wrong taxi on purpose.

Points positifs: Our stay at Waridi was amazing and we really enjoyed our time there. The staff was amazing and all of them were extremely friendly, professional and always helping and giving extra. We were really impressed. Every night there is an entertainment for the guest for the hotel, which is really nice, considering you can't go out every evening and pay money for taxi. The beach is amazing. Food really good. I would love to go there again.

Points négatifs: We stayed at the main building of the resort. Rooms are a little bit old and need renovation. It was hard to take shower. Almost no pressure for the water and it was a nightmare.

Points positifs: Very friendly and helpfull staff. Choice of good food. Wonderful beach location.

Points positifs: The entertainment is excellent and the food is great! The variety of fruits really add value to an expression of what the island has to offer.

Points négatifs: The rooms need to be upgraded and the stairs are just too much.

Points positifs: Atmosphere was good, staff were friendly and lots of entertainment in the evening. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good buffet style food too.

Points négatifs: The Air conditioning system was not working first night and shower but it was fixed the following morning. Internet was extremely slow.

Points positifs: Excellent service, very hospitable. Great food and great location relative to the beach

Points positifs: Very good food and a lot of variety! Friendly staff and everything was clean. Recommended!

Points négatifs: Some local guys bothering you at the beach, trying to sell stuff or excursions, but I experienced this everywhere on Zanzibar.

Points positifs: Beachfront property with nice, spacious, very clean rooms and facilities! An amazing and relaxing environment for beach holidays in Zanzibar! Initially we were thinking of booking one of the nearby all-inclusive hotels (which were much more expensive) but we don't regret it at all as Waikiki resort was beautiful and very safe - a real value for money. All staff members (especially the staff from the local community) were amazing, very polite and friendly with excellent customer service! they offer very nice cocktails and drinks with good quality alcohol! we had loads of drinks (good deals on cocktails at the happy hours) and we never had a headache of felt hungover the day after! they serve delicious pizzas (we must have tried nearly all in the menu). They also have an on-site excursion office which adds to the experience. We met Ibrahim and had a good deal on four daily excursions which made our stay in Zanzibar full of wonderful memories and photos - we highly recommend his service. Finally, we were happy to see that they actioned on the previous feedback given (as read on previous reviews) and they offered WiFi for free at the rooms at no extra cost.

Points négatifs: Breakfast is a bit basic but they serve a variety of nice fresh fruit. They could improve the variety of coffees served (maybe consider having latte, cappuccino and ice coffee?)

Points positifs: L’emplacement

Points négatifs: On ne peut pas dormir tellement que l’odeur des égouts est forte L’arrivée est un véritable harcèlement pour l’enregistrement On est poursuivi tout le long du séjour par peur que l’on ne paye pas les extras alors qu’ils ont l’empreinte de la CB

Points positifs: We just returned from our honeymoon at Waikiki resort and we have to say it was the best vacation we ever experienced. Everything was just perfect. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which is literally few steps from the beach and a bar. The staff at the resort is fantastic and most polite we have ever witnessed. The food is amazing, especially the pizza and gelato and of course the cocktails also. If we wanted to take a trip across the island or to see any other sites on it, they organize everything. What more can we say is that we will definitely return to this place and recommend it to everyone who is thinking about to take a vacation on Zanzibar. Thank you again to the Waikiki Resort staff to make our honeymoon unforgettable.

Points positifs: Le cadre est magnifique. Les Bungalows donnent sur un jardin fleuri et sont au bord de l'eau. Les chambres sont assez sombres mais spacieuses et bien décorées. Le restaurant est un poil cher pour le pays mais les plats sont bons. Excellent accueil du patron et de ses employés. Petit déjeuner très copieux. Cerise sur le gateau : La plage est magnifique ici. Même si l’hôtel est un peu isolé, le village de Pwani situé juste derrière est sympa à visiter. Nous reviendrons surement finir notre séjour ici.

Points négatifs: Rien

Points positifs: Nice place on the beach. Rooms are simple, but great attention to detail. Staff is friendly and breakfast is nice.

Points négatifs: We’ve been traveling through Tanzania already 4 weeks. I know Zanzibar is a tourist island, but we’ve been also on other places here. Below are comments based on our experience with other places around in Zanzibar. - we didn’t try the restaurant, but prices are in USD and prohibitively high (European prices). - they use an ridiculous hight exchange rate for everything of 2’400 (actual rate we got everywhere else is 2’300). That’s a 4% extra charge. - they charge 6%, if you pay with credit cards. Usually it’s around 4%. With that being said, I guess this is how resorts on a beach work for tourist. I just got the feeling this is how extra money is being made.

Points positifs: I like the beach, the bungalo was awesome you could hear the ocean at night. Breakfast was ok, the drinks was great. The ATV ride was a blast and the general manager was cool ASF. I will be going back

Points négatifs: They didn't make a good seafood platter, no flavor.

Points positifs: Amazing place! Staff very friendly and most important helpful. Would definitely recommend !!! Great value for money and beach is just amazing

Points positifs: The hotel is literally on the beach. Great location.

Points positifs: Le cadre est magnifique, nous sommes vraiment sur la plage, les chaises longues sont disponibles toutes la journée. Le jour du départ nous avons pu laisser nos bagages dans la chambre et y avoir accès toute la journée, l’hotel nous a également prévu un taxi pour le trajet à l’aéroport.

Points négatifs: Je vous conseille d’être italien, vous aurez droit à des sourires et une arrivée rapide de vos plats. L’endroit est donc géré par des italiens, qui ne pensent qu’à une chose : l’argent. Tout est payant : Le wifi est accessible partout autour du second restaurant sauf dans la chambre, il faut donc payer la modique somme de 5$ pour y avoir accès. Nous avions droit à 1/2 litre d’eau par jour pour 2 personnes, c’est à dire très loin du minimum vital. La bouteille de 1L coûtait 2,5$. La qualité des plats n’etait pas au rendez vous mais ils restaient malgré tout hors de prix ! Il n’y a que très peu voire pas de restaurants ou de bars à proximité, donc forcément les gérants savent que le seul choix pour nous se limite à leur complexe. Comme exemple, le coca à 2.5$ alors que nous avons vu à de multiples reprises qu’en Tanzanie même le prix tournait autour de 800 TSH soit 0,2€ ! Ils proposent aussi un happy hour qui se limite à un cocktail ! Enfin, le point qui nous a le plus dérangé est la soirée du vendredi soir. Nous etions épuisées de la journée, nous avions donc prévu de nous coucher tot. C’etait sans compter la soirée de 22h à 2h30 du matin à 10 mètres de notre chambre. Le son trop fort, résonnait dans la chambre, impossible de dormir, et le patron ne pouvait pas baisser la musique car c’etait une soirée entre plusieurs hôtels. C’est inconcevable qu’en vacances, dans un endroit que nous avons choisi pour son calme, on nous impose une soirée. Nous payons donc une nuit d’hotel, qui a été fortement raccourcie par leur faute. Bref très très déçue de cet hôtel qui ne possède qu’un point positif : son cadre.

Points positifs: Le bar/resto les pieds dans le sable. L'hôtel est magnifique et le personnel très sympathique. Nos chambres étaient très bien nettoyées tous les jours. Le petit-déjeuner avec les fruits frais au top!!!

Points négatifs: Rien. Tout est parfait!

Points positifs: Manger devant la mer... Musique d'ambiance sympa...

Points négatifs: Free Wi-Fi uniquement au bar ...

Points positifs: La qualité d'accueil et de service

Points négatifs: Une tres belle adrrsse ! hôtel trrs bien tenu par 2 freres italiens. un tres bin restaurant avec les meilleures pizza de zanzibar..bref un super rapport qualité prix..

Points positifs: Location was nice clean water and beach.. With excellent sun rising view. Food was very tasty and as delicious as it can be. Room and Facilities were very very nice and so clean and comfortable. But most of all, what is so amazing about Next Paradise Resort was the staff, I mean all the staff, from security gards, servents, waiters and above all management they are so helpful and friendly offering all your needs with a beautiful smile. I think this place really really deserves the name Next Paradise.

Points négatifs: Nothing.. Everything was as best as it could be..

Points positifs: Amazing location, beautiful grounds. Great pool area. Very nice room. Very attentive staff and management.

Points négatifs: We were there five nights and there was hardly any variety on the breakfast buffet. Disappointing.

Points positifs: Excellent property, excellent atmosphere, excellent staff.

Points négatifs: Air conditioner in the room can be better. Was not effective.

Points positifs: Beautiful long white sand beach. The very high tidal swings make it possible to walk ~1km out to reef at low tide. You will see so many different sea creatures — star fish of all colors, fish caught in tidal pools, and more. Be careful of the sea urchins. Highly recommend you bring water shoes as they are a must have. Great onsite restaurant with all day made to order menu. Evening offers a 4 course meal that is determined daily by what is fresh. Very comfortable and very quiet air conditioned rooms. Wonderful friendly staff.

Points négatifs: Although the hotel is not at fault, do be aware there are an abundance of sea urchins all along the Zanzibar coast. Families with small children need to be cautious as you explore the beach.

Points positifs: Hôtel de petite dimension , chambres très spacieuses et très bien entretenues . Service restauration sans reproche . Tout le personnel est très agréable . La plage qui borde l'hôtel est très belle et quasi déserte .

Points négatifs: Rien dans l'hôtel . La plage est peu pratique pour la baignade ...

Points positifs: The service was great. The people were very nice and helpful. The food was good and we really enjoyed breakfast every morning.

Points négatifs: The location on the beach was not my favorite. It was fine, but if I had known about another beach before booking with next paradise, I would have picked another hotel. The beach is wonderful and you can walk out more than a mile into the ocean during low tide. Such a fun experience seeing the starfish and marine life. But if you like to swim and spend more time in the ocean you might want to check other options. The beach is full of seaweed but it’s kind of cool bc the people from the village make their money from the seaweed gardens they have there.

Points négatifs: Poor food, low standard and nothing to do at this area. Boring place.

Points positifs: Tout, mer, piscine, buffet, staff, établissement. Une petite remarque sur la musique un peu trop fort. Mais bon... ca passe. On m as surclassé chambre vue sur mer. Merci

Points négatifs: Nickel.

Points positifs: Pour éviter La cohabitation avec les clubs de vacances(trop bruyant) choisir la chambre suite lune de miel même avec un enfant c'est possible La vue avec la suite de luxe était magnifique face à l’océan et sont levée du soleil chambre équipée d'un jacuzzi très grande salle de bain belle terrasse privée avec transat , très bonne literie confort garantie. Très bon petit déjeuner il ne manquait rien Les repas buffet en demi pension était très correct il y en a pour tous les goûts les piscines le bar jacuzzi les jardin la propreté du complexe hôtelier

Points négatifs: Attention au spa ne pas faire le soin manucure et pédicure la vrai catastrophe . Le vrai plus du spa c'est le soin gommage et massage il faut négocier le prix

Points positifs: J'ai adoré cet hotel, rien à redire , tout était parfait , le spa est top surtout les mains experte des masseuses ... hotel très agréable avec une vue incroyable sur la plage aux couleurs incroyable... petit petit-déjeuner et buffet très varié.. super animateurs très sympas !! Personnel ultra gentil , serviable à l'écoute Je recommande vivement !

Points négatifs: J'ai tout aimé dans cet hotel !!!!! Juste parfait pour moi !

Points positifs: Good facilities.

Points négatifs: Not many places to go out around the resort

Points positifs: Repas excellent très varié, personnel accueillant toujours à l'écoute, de magnifiques chambres. Bien placé sur la plage. Très bonne expérience

Points négatifs: Les activités sont toujours les mêmes mais l'ambiance est bonne

Points positifs: Honnêtement si j’aurais pu mettre 11 sur 10 cette établissement le mérite véritablement, nous avons fait le tour de zanzibar en quinze jours avec changement d’hôtel avec les mêmes prestations ***** étoiles . mais là la convivialité, le personnel, piscine et la plage magnifique tout était parfait, nous nous sommes tout de suite senti comme chez nous avec un cadre paradisiaque en plus. Personnel extraordinaire avec chaque jours des petites attentions pour nous et nos enfants. Mentions ++ aux animateurs de cet hôtel qui ont été adorable avec nos enfants,Galle,Lucas, Anais, Dorine, le chanteur et tout les autres que nous oublions. Grâce à eux en particulier notre séjour qui devait durer 2 jours c est allongé à 5 , merci d avoir rendu nos vacances merveilleuses. Donia, Abdel, kemyl et Myla

Points positifs: Great staff The extra sea food lunch on the beach was outstanding Well located, however, not sure how it's on other periods of time, but at the end of March the beach and sea was packed with seaweed

Points négatifs: There was a damp smell in our Deluxe room with Seaview The dinner was average

Points positifs: I strongly recommend this resort! For me it is one of the best i have ever visited in my life. Everything was so perfect as if you're dreaming. Staff were nice and very patient. Prompt to assist and that akuna matata sentence was making sense!!! I really enjoyed it with my friends. So great...

Points positifs: Tout est très bien

Points positifs: Location, food, personal.

Points négatifs: Wifi in the room

Points positifs: On the beach, large Terrasse, swimming pools

Points positifs: Le petit déjeuner buffet super La tranquillité

Points négatifs: La plage beaucoup d’oursin et très compliqué de ce baigner . C’est isolé rien à faire autour pour 3jours c’est bien mais pas plus

Points positifs: Breakfast, personnel, view, beach

Points négatifs: Hard beds and lounge beds, unsteady Wifi

Points positifs: Merveilleux hôtel pour un séjour chill et relax au bord de la plage. Le personnel est très accueillant et sympathique. Cadre idéal pour un couple en vacances

Points positifs: Nous avons adoré. De l’emplacement sur la plage calme et vierge de Matemwe, au déjeuner incroyable ( fruits de tout type, pains maison, cookies, yaourts maison, jus frais, madeleines, omelettes,...), les menus excellents et pas chers du tout... Ne parlons même pas de la chambre: petit bungalow avec airco, ventilateur, coffre fort, moustiquaire, eau fraîche chaque jour en bouteille, frigo, salle de bain (avec gel douche, shampoing, après shampoing, crème pour le corps, savons fait main...). Et le personnel au petits soins qui viennent allumer l’airco et mettre la moustiquaire pendant que vous dînez. Aucune hésitation!

Points positifs: Lovely hotel in a perfect location! Great breakfast with lots of choices, lovely garden and pools. Enough sunbeds with shade for everyone, which is a must when the days are really hot. 100% relaxing place with great staff

Points négatifs: Same menu for lunch and dinner which is a bit tiresome. We chose to eat lunch at the hotel and dinner elsewhere. Recommend the Bin Jabir restaurant 200 meters up the beach.

Points positifs: Nous avons passé de merveilleuses vacances dans cet hôtel au jardin luxuriant, au restaurant face à la mer, dans une chambre avec balcon vue mer sur une plage de 12 km de long quasi désertique avec un lagon bleu des mers du sud et chaud. En un mot si le paradis existe j’aimerais que cela ressemble à ça.

Points négatifs: Rien

Points positifs: Everything - they upgraded our room when we had issues with the WiFi in the room. We also extended our stay and they were very understanding and helpful since we had a lot of unforeseen change of travel plans due to the worlds current situation.

Points négatifs: Nothing. It was honestly perfect.

Points positifs: Proximité de l’île de memba pour faire du snorkling, plage magnifique et restaurant très agréable avec une vue imprenable.

Points négatifs: Quelques problèmes d odeurs nauséabondes à marée haute sur la chambre 2. Dommage

Points positifs: I cannot say enough good things about Blue Bay. It exceeded all expectations. The property is stunning. The room was beautiful! The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming - I felt so at home. The food was delicious. If I am ever in Zanzibar again I will only be staying at Blue Bay. If you are in Kiwengwa, this is the only place to stay!!!!

Points négatifs: nothing!!!

Points positifs: Foods and polite staff.

Points négatifs: Extended music noise in the new year’s night. Should be obeyed to the registered program.

Points positifs: I liked that the staff was friendly, the location was clean and the food was fresh. The room also had a spectacular view.

Points négatifs: N/A

Points positifs: The entertainment was amazing. Staff was so friendly and the food selections at buffet was huge and it changed everyday. The beach was also beautiful as well as the resort itself.

Points négatifs: The shower drain needs to be fixed as the water wouldn't go down. But other than that everything was great!

Points positifs: Staff were very helpful and friendly, good value for money. I would not have stayed at any other hotel in this town.

Points négatifs: Small maintenance requirements since the hotel is not brand new.

Points positifs: We booked the hotel at the last moment. All staff were very nice and helpful, always attentive and ready to help. Beautiful hotel site in the middle of lot of greens and facing awesome beach.

Points négatifs: The meals choice could be better with introduction of kids menu for example

Points positifs: L'emplacement, les piscines et le personnel

Points négatifs: La baignoire ne fonctionnait pas, le frigo non plus, la moustiquaire était trouée. Cuisine style buffet pour touristes rien de fou...

Points négatifs: Le restaurant près de la plage nous avons pris des gros crevettes elles étaient infects et pas un geste de la direction... Nous étions 4 personnes ... i

Points positifs: Fantastic experience for us and our family. Great food, great hotel, fantastic atmosphere, great staff, beautiful beach, geat pool, great service. I guess the biggest compliment I could give is that I am planning on returning next year, while in principle I always chose a new place/hotel, but this one was so good I will return.

Points négatifs: Nothing I can think about

Points positifs: Superbe chambre Bien situé Bon repas

Points négatifs: Nous avons demandé la navette aéroport pour notre arrivés qui n'est jamais venu

Points positifs: Lits confortables, chambres agréables, les buffets délicieux, l’endroit très beau et les jardins splendides

Points positifs: Excellent well trained senior staff from Rocina MANAGERESS at Reception to Narinder Maintenance to JOHN the Hotel manager to main Restaurant manager,All welcoming & helpful & go the extra mile to make your stay truly memorable.Rooms clean & fresh and well set up and cleaned thoroughly everyday.Brilliant location,nice beech and plenty of coconut water provided by garden boys.

Points négatifs: Cooked food does not reflect the rest of services provided in the hotel. Need expert Chef and Quality cooked food not Quantity. Although the Buffet of Salads and fruits was excellent standard.

Points positifs: Excellent food all around. Good variety and mostly healthy and fresh. The char grilled fish and octopus was a standout as were the desserts. Special mention for the Pumpkin curry and the fish and coconut curry (all made by the lovely Sri Lankan chef, Victor). Another especial mention to the animation team, who do their best to be fun but not intrusive: Hassan, Said and Rachel (the child carer and yoga instructor) were exemplary.

Points négatifs: The pillows. And that was it.

Points positifs: The upgrade we received from the beach villa to the beach suite was amazing. The turn down service was great and the kids gaming area as well. The surf shop offers good choices and excursions providing safe and comfortable snorkeling etc options. Friendly and security staff. The nightly coconut picking for guests was a good idea. The entertainment (karaoke, bands etc) was great fun. Overall the resort is fantastic and I would recommend it.

Points négatifs: Things we did not like include: - limited beer options - incorrect room service orders - warm cold drinks and beers delivered to the room - wines and drinks should be kept cold and cannot be served at room temperature in Zanzibar. - having stayed at this resort before, the food is not as spicy or representative as before and caters for a more bland palate - cocktails made from box premixes, was unacceptable and not enjoyable.

Points positifs: Un établissement exceptionnel, une plage incroyable. Un séjour inoubliable.

Points positifs: Tout était parfait du début à la fin N'hésitez pas à réserver cet hôtel si vous hésitez Personnel top Nourriture variée et bonne Belle plage et piscine Des activités tout au long de la journée

Points positifs: Every property was excellent The staffs were so kind and friendly They talked to us for every moment we had any trouble without calling them. They always kindly greeted us like “Mambo”, which was so nice and made us happy. Information of aqua sports or marine sports like JET SKI and DIVING are always available. Some staffs are professional for guiding those activities and we can enjoy them without any reservations in advance.

Points positifs: + The overall atmosphere. + Location. + Staff. + Beach. + All Inclusive plan. + Resorts decoration and rooms from outside. - Pool’s tiles makes it look very old and not pleasing to swim in.

Points négatifs: - Pool’s tiles makes it look very old and not pleasing to swim in.

Points positifs: Fantastic resort! Friendly staff, beautiful beach, clean and spacious rooms. Would highly recommend booking one of the ocean view rooms.

Points positifs: Unique exotic spirit with great services and food

Points négatifs: Uniforms of staff

Points positifs: L’emplacement, la beaute du paysage et de la plage Les chambres

Points négatifs: La qualite de la nourriture est mediocre L ambiance est triste ... genre mouroir Le wifi ne fonctionne qu a la reception .... inacceptable

Points positifs: proximité de la plage , magnifique jardin, animation le soir.

Points négatifs: je n'ai pas eu la chambre que j'ai réservé , je n'ai pas voulu faire le scandale , personne a la réception ne parle pas françaisUu

Points positifs: Warm water in the beach and pool. Buffet lunch at the beach was very nice

Points négatifs: variety on food

Points positifs: The location was wonderful, right on Kiwengwa beach. The staff were friendly and hospitable - made it extra special. They upgraded me from a garden room to a balcony room where I could see the pool area and beach from my room (view in the pic below). At the price paid, the all inclusive package was worth it as it included all meals and [a basic menu of] drinks. I wish I could've stayed longer.

Points négatifs: Although Blue Bay is a sister hotel, there may be some extra charges for services/meals if coming from Sultan Sands - best to confirm.

Points positifs: Nice and friendly service, quite and good food.

Points négatifs: Need a renovation

Points positifs: Excellent hotel with fantastic accommodation . Beautiful setting , friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you. The food was amazing and the choice was plentiful .

Points positifs: Very nice pool close to the ocean

Points négatifs: Always had to walk on sand to get to the accommodation

Points positifs: Food was amazing.

Points positifs: Room with garden view or beach view Staff Cleanliness of the property Food choices with unlimited drinks!! Facilities like swimming pool, pool, table tennis and live music n dance shows at nights

Points négatifs: Nothing!

Points positifs: After a great stay two years ago we decided to return to Sultan Sands - and we certainly did not regret it. Lovely hotel, welcoming staff and good location and facilities.

Points positifs: Breakfast selection was very good, staff is polite.

Points négatifs: -

Points positifs: Le point de vue la plage

Points négatifs: Le personnel était bien dans l’ensemble, mais certains devraient changer de métier. On ne se moque pas des clients dans sa langue et on n’est pas lunatique. Surtout au bar de la piscine. Mais dans l’ensemble ils étaient très bien.

Points positifs: Le service était très bon. La direction était très bien. Je le recommande vivement !

Points négatifs: Face à l'hôtel était un peu difficile

Points positifs: Nothing

Points négatifs: The moroccan manager is unkind and pushy and wants to scam you with over-priced activities. The food is disgusting and heavily overpriced. Eat elsewhere on the beach. The whole complex is remote and secluded so you depend on them so they ask what they want at any price.

Points positifs: Calm and peaceful setting ideal to relax without being disturbed. The rooms are very large and private. Everything looks neat and spotlessly clean. Luxurious hotel. Very good breakfast.

Points négatifs: Prices of food and drinks are too high. It's basically the same price as in Europe. We understand is a luxury hotel, but prices cannot be as high as in London. It just does not feel right to consume there. If you have a car you can drive 10 min and have great local food at very cheap prices.

Points positifs: Tout ! L' accueil de Laucin le manager, dès l arrivee a l hotel et pendant tout le séjour Le chalet très beau et confortable La vue du chalet La présence discrète et attentionnée du personnel

Points négatifs: Rien

Points positifs: Beautiful bungalows with your own plunge pool. Lovely design and amazing surroundings! Very out of the way so perfect for really getting away. Lovely staff and the best Dawa cocktails :-)

Points positifs: Fantastic location, beautiful resort with unbeatable facilities. Highly recommend

Points positifs: Everything

Points négatifs: Everything was perfect

Points positifs: Tres bel établissement. Le personnel ainsi que le gérant sont très gentils et vraiment à l’écoute. Les chambres sont nettoyées plusieurs fois par jours. Le fait d’avoir une piscine privée est un plus. Le spot de la piscine collective est juste magnifique. Les repas étaient bons et variés, produits frais ... Il y a des gardes h24 dans les allées ce qui permet de se sentir en sécurité L’emplacement est un plus pour ma part, endroit très calme et très silencieux Merci pour tout

Points négatifs: Beaucoup d’insectes, mais c’est normal vu l’emplacement en pleine nature La route pour accéder à l’hôtel est encore en construction

Points positifs: L’emplacement est idéal pour se reposer et profiter pleinement de ces vacances ! un magnifique hôtel et un personnel parfait, souriant, disponible rien à dire tout était parfait ! Et le Sea barbecue proposé par l’hôtel est juste un régal! Je recommande !!!

Points positifs: Beautiful, however a little remote.

Points négatifs: They ask you for your food allergies and than do nothing with this information.

Points positifs: 1)La piscine était propre la plupart du temps (70% de mon séjour). Piscine donnant sur la mer, assez reposant. 2) Possibilité de rester dans l'hôtel jusqu'à 19h malgré départ de la chambre à 10h30. 3) Produits toilettes ok (gel de douche)

Points négatifs: 1) Troubles intestinaux après chaque petit-déjeuner. 2) Les repas très chers et quantité très limitée à chaque fois. Cuisine essentiellement continentale, un peu comme manger dans n'importe quel autre hôtel, sauf que le prix était beaucoup plus cher qu'à Paris. Tables peu propres, pleines de petites araignées, fourmies. 3) Pas d'accès direct à la plage. Hôtel très isolé. Pour y arriver il faut que le chauffeur connaisse le chemin. 4) Voyage retour vers l'aéroport très cher, 65 dollars. 5) Pas d'activités proposés, le spa pas intéressant et pas propre à l'intérieur. 6) Piscine dans le bungalow impossible à utiliser, pas propre. 7) Nuit dans le bungalow avec beaucoup de gros insectes à partir de 18h. La moustiquaire pas suffisante. Assez effrayant. Je me suis réveillée avec un très gros insecte dans le lit juste sur mon sac... 8) Le personnel de sécurité ne parlait pas un mot d'anglais. Lorsque j'ai été effrayée et j'avais besoin qu'il appelle quelqu'un à la réception, il a fait comme si rien n'était. Il m'a fait comprendre que c'était à moi de chercher de l'aide. 9) Wifi uniquement à la réception, pas dans le bungalow, pas dans la piscine. 10) Pas de télé dans la chambre. 11) Une seule petite bouteille d'eau offerte, insuffisante pour boire et se préparer un thé dans la chambre. 12) Pas de nettoyage de la chambre en profondeur, beaucoup d'insectes ont été laissés dans le mobilier, valise recouvertes de petites bêtes, il a fallu que je mette beaucoup d'insecticide avant de partir.

Points positifs: le personnel la vue sur mer la chambre

Points positifs: This is absolutely amazing place from the moment you enter it. There is a lot of positive energy everywhere : in the way this place is done, service and above all - extremely nice and helpful people . I loved the quitness, set up of houses which guarantee you can feel like hidden in the beautiful garden. You can focus on Your mind and find peace. Swiming pool view and morning breakfast are adventures on it’s own.

Points négatifs: Limited access to WiFi which these days is a bit of a challange although it might have helped to limit access to the unnecessary noise of this world.

Points positifs: Superbe suite avec jacuzzi et accès à privatif à la plage!!!

Points négatifs: Le bruit de la cascade de la piscine la nuit. Il faut bien trouvé quelque chose à redire !!!!

Points positifs: L’ambiance Le restaurant manque un peu d’intimité du fait de la hauteur de la toiture Mais l’environnement est charmant et plutôt classe

Points négatifs: Grosse faiblesse du bar avec des cocktails insipides et des jus de fruits qui se réduisent à de l’eau sucrée ce qui difficilement pardonnable sur cette île Cuisine inégale et parfois décevante quand on compare à stone town

Points positifs: Nous avons apprécié le mieux et le personnel au petit soin. Tout est présent pour un séjour au calme face à la mer.

Points négatifs: Les tarifs sont occidentaux, comme le restaurant et les quelques produits à vendre.

Points positifs: Nice rooms

Points négatifs: poor and expensive food Narrow assortment Very small territory Disaster suburb anywhere out of hotel

Points positifs: Super comfortable, nice pool, lovely lounging areas, stylish decor touches.

Points négatifs: Restaurant food only average.

Points positifs: Very nice place, locates on the beach. The garden is impressive - a lot of tropical vegetation - great view from the room.

Points négatifs: The cleaning could be done better - for example the toilet smelled from time to time.

Points positifs: La chambre avec jacuzzi est juste un rêve ❤️

Points positifs: The Sunshine Hotel is truly paradise. The property is beautiful and the staff are all so nice and welcoming!

Points positifs: La qualité de la restauration digne d'un etoilé. Même un snack à midi (comme les fish nuggets) retravaillé par le chef sont exceptionnels

Points négatifs: Rien

Points positifs: Amazing staff, super clean place with amazing view and vibe.

Points négatifs: The only negative was no air conditioning but overall would definitely recommend it.

Points positifs: bon emplacement, nourriture un peu chère mais excellente

Points négatifs: Chambre et balcon nécessite rafraîchissement (vue sur mer). Personnel et accueil standard. On doit se battre pour payer en euros a un taux correct et non égal au dollar US, inacceptable

Points positifs: Très beau cadre et chambre très mignonne

Points négatifs: Le prix est élevé, pas de service en chambre et les jus sont affreux

Points positifs: We loved this place !!! We felt like home. Friendly staff and owners. Beautiful little hotel with amaizing beach. You can borrow SUP or bike. Play table tennis, billiard, chess...

Points positifs: We arrived and was pleasantly surprised how truly beautiful the house is, decorated with an authentic African style and positioned right next to the beach! The rooms are big and bright, there is ac and everything you could need in the bathroom! The staff is kind and caring, water is free in a glass bottle when eating at Zanzibar house and this is a big plus for me also because of environmental reasons! The food is great and very worth it! We ate here nearly everyday! Massimiliano and his wife gave us all the information we needed during our stay and we truly enjoyed our time at Zanzibar house!

Points positifs: People are amazing and the owners Max and Miriam a very warm people

Points positifs: Tout était parfait! J’ai rien à re dire! L’endroit est splendide, très cosy, le personnel adorable ! rien de mieux comme endroit pour se reposer et être au calme! Je le recommande fortement ! On y mange très bien, et peu de chambres donc tranquillité assuré si vous recherchez le calme. Le rapport qualité prix est largement raisonnable ! J’ai adoré, même si c’etait qu’une nuit, je reviendrais avec plaisir!

Points positifs: Zanzibar House is a perfect płace for best Relax in Zanzibar. Room was very comfortable, clean and nice. Breakfast with dinner was great and teasty. Beach was big, very clean and empty. Everything in this hotel is perfect. Decorated in Zanzibar style with many nice and oryginal things. It was our last stop in Zanzibar and the best płace for rest and Relax.

Points négatifs: Only for breakfast they did’t give plate of fruits, just small salad and this is only one thing they need to change.

Points positifs: La gentillesse du personnel

Points négatifs: Les responsables Italiens de l’établissement non chalant. Difficile d’obtenir un bonjour de la gérante. Décoration de l’hôtel trop chargé. La gérante m’a refusé un billet de 10 000 shillings abîmé alors qu’il provenait de la banque. J’ai eu aucun mal à me donner ailleurs.. et wifi inexistante

Points positifs: Fantastic place, really well done, thoroughly enjoyed out stay! Thank you

Points négatifs: Pretty great stay, food was excellent, but it did take a while for the set course meal

Points positifs: Le cadre, l'accueil, le service, la propreté, la qualité des repas, le calme de l'endroit...

Points négatifs: Rien. Bon, en réfléchissant, un petit effort est peut-être possible sur certains tarifs: Chambre individuelle, cocktails, excursions et transfert aéroport...

Points positifs: Everythings was incredible ! The room in traditionnal zanzibari style, very comfy. The TEAM was really nice and helpfull. The food was perfect, we had fresh sushi from the ocean ! I warmly recommand this hotel !

Points positifs: Attention to details

Points positifs: Excellent location on a white sand beach, tastefully decorated rooms with good space, exquisite food, wonderful people, homey feeling. Relax and deel like you are at home, only much much better. Prices are very fair

Points négatifs: The staff can be slow and forgetful, but that is Africa. Come mentally prepared and try to deal with it.

Points positifs: The staff were amazing,nothing too much trouble. It was very peaceful - the location right on the beach

Points négatifs: Food good, but could have been uplifted a little bit. Plenty of choice for breakfast.

Points positifs: Beautiful facilities, indoor and out. Good food, friendly, attentive staff, amazing beach.

Points positifs: Jolie décoration, magnifique plage, au calme avec agent de sécurité et tres bon emplacement (legerement à l’ecart des gros complexes italiens le long de la plage)

Points positifs: 1) very friendly staff 2) relaxing set up and beautiful white sandy beach 3) they accept credit cards and managed to book me on tours where they charge my card for it.

Points négatifs: Inconsistent level of satisfaction PROS 1) very friendly staff 2) relaxing set up and beautiful white sandy beach 3) they accept credit cards and managed to book me on tours where they charge my card for it. CONS 1) location is more suitable for honeymooners and those seeking being away from island activities 2) inconsistent food quality, the same dish might be tasty then the next day could be horrible. 3) terrible WiFi, weak mobile signal too. But that’s pretty much almost everywhere on the island. 4) I was charged for late check-out despite being Genius 2 on booking.com

Points positifs: The place was perfect ! close to the beach , nice view , nice room , nice restaurant The staff was very very nice . always present and ready to help you ! you feel really good in this place , calm and quiet ! you can sleep well with no noise . Food is very good and tasty ! I recommande this place to all the couple who wants to have a real break in peace ! thanks to all the staff for being so nice and present ! thanks to chef for doing the best crepes in the morning !!! sooo good ;)!

Points négatifs: it was perfect

Points positifs: If you are looking for a peaceful and small hotel look no further! The staff was so helpful, the room was simple but beautiful, the restaurant is great and the massages were good value for money. Nice afternoon snacks and breakfast was delicious.Really recommended. The food is really nice but most people there were on half board basis so a la carte menu does not change daily. really nice food but a bit repetitive after few days.

Points négatifs: No fridge in the room and for some bizarre reason they do not provide complementary water everyday. If it is for plastic bottles why don’t they provide free access to a dispenser? Drinks prices are more expensive than luxury hotels on the same resort, which again is a bit strange. Also odd that we asked for recommendation for a place to eat and was told that they could not make any recommendations as they have no direct experience of the other local restaurants... basically they really want you to eat at their restaurant...

Points positifs: The location and the beach section are nice. Alessandro is a great and very good at dealing with guests. The food is also good. They bake their own bread and its delicious. The fish is fresh and the breakfast is simple ( there could be more fruit ) but nice. Small buffet with eggs to order.

Points négatifs: Okay so we booked the standard room and when we checked in the room was so smelly it was actually unbearable. It felt like the room hadn’t been aired for a very long time and the mould odour was awful. After 3 hrs of chaos, they couldn’t change our room but offered us a massage and a lovely dinner. Apart from the smell, the room wasnt well kept. The toilet’s flush would fall apart after every use and in general our advice would be not to book this room. They also charged us extra 5% by putting the payment for the booking through using the card info on booking.com although actually the payment should’ve been handled at check in. If we had known about the 5% we could’ve payed cash. On rainy days there is nothing to do at the hotel that lacks a proper lounge and bar area.

Points positifs: Le cadre intimiste de la structure et son emplacement . La qualité et la diversité de la cuisine. L'éfficacité, la disponibilité, la discrétion et la trés grande gentillesse de toute l'équipe(Deus ,Grâce,Elisabeth,"Dangerous man et les autres ) qui font de ce lieu un endroit à part et donnent envie d'y revenir.....

Points négatifs: Rien

Points positifs: Nous avons aimé le calme, le cadre, le site, une confidentialité des locaux et un personnel toujours très attentif et discret. Excellente adresse.

Points négatifs: La partie restauration qui manque de diversité et de plats locaux. Sinon le cadre du restaurant est idéal.

Points positifs: This resort is a beautiful hotel the photos don’t do it justice , the food is excellent and plentiful , and Grace and her staff are very friendly and attentive, always there when needed. We’re very sad to be leaving.

Points négatifs: Nothing we’re sad to be leaving

Points positifs: We had lovely stay there. The hotel is rather small (only 8 rooms) so you can be alone I you want to rest from very busy Kiwengwa beach. Staff is very helpful and keen to help with anything. Aurora ( manager) was extra helpful and open minded. Many thanks. The best part of our stay there was food. The best food we had in Zanzibar and some of the dishes for dinner menu were the best we have ever tasted ( octopus carpaccio was just outstanding). Don’t experiment with neighbours regarding to food is just not worth the hassle. Many thanks to for lovely stay and wish you all the best.

Points positifs: Everything

Points négatifs: Slow wifi

Points positifs: Everything here was just amazing: nice room, small hotel so very quiet and peaceful, perfect hide-away. Food was plenty and very good, service beyond friendly, all staff was so nice and helpful, Grace, Deus and all the rest: thank you! Beach is very beautiful!

Points positifs: The views from the room, restaurant and pool are all incredible! The dive centre is also excellent.

Points négatifs: The resort is quite isolated.

Points positifs: The amazing location The best place on earth if you re looking for a diving center

Points négatifs: The service in restaurant; took hours to be serve if the order was not mixed up or forgotten

Points positifs: Tout ! L emplacement magnifique, le personnel très attentionné ! Suite panoramique avec une superbe vue sur l ile de Memba ! Le yoga ! Le centre de plongée dans l’hôtel ... magnifique et magique pour un séjour relaxant et envoûtant ..

Points négatifs: Rien !

Points positifs: Magnifique endroit pour se ressourcer, la vue est à couper le souffle et la piscine à débordement est somptueuse. La chambre est de très bon goût. Juste quelque problème avec les araignées. Nous avons du avoir une chambre avec un nid d’araignée dedans (chambre numéro 10) Sinon rien à redire hôtel au top : nourriture, excursions tout vaux le coup on recommande cet endroit, qui est plus qu’un havre de paix !!

Points positifs: Le luxe, la propreté, le confort et les piscines. L’accès à la plage privée se fait par navette (bateau ou taxi). L’hôtel est isolé, donc pas d’autres possibilités de se restaurer que le restaurant de l’hôtel. Néanmoins, la carte est tout à fait correcte.

Points négatifs: A noter que l’hôtel ne débite pas via booking, donc prévoyez la somme en cash si vous ne désirez pas payer les 5% de frais supplémentaires liés au paiement par CB.

Points positifs: Superbe hôtel, pourrait avoir 5 étoiles sans problème, tout était parfait, l’accueil avec un jus de fruits frais, petit tour de l'hôtel avec une employée, 2 piscines avec vue sur l'océan et l'île de Mnemba, jardin fleurit, chambre très propre. Le club de plongée était très bien, professionnel mais un peu cher. Nous ne sommes pas allés à la plage privée. Soirée Masaï avec cuisine swahili délicieuse mais un peu chère.

Points positifs: L'accueil et le personnel sympathique Le petit-déjeuner est correct Le décor est vraiment comme sur les photos Très belle vue Petit Hôtel très très calme farniente Pour se couper du monde et se reposé c'est l'idéal

Points négatifs: L'hôtel est loin de tout , sans véhicule forcé de rester à l'hôtel et de manger au restaurant de l'hôtel, cela revient chers. Pas de téléphone dans les chambres pour contacter la réception . Pas de refregirateur et de sèche cheveux dans la chambre . Plage privé de l'hôtel à 10min en voiture ( l'hôtel nous y dépose voir les horaires)

Points positifs: Nice view. Good facilities.Yoga classes and scuba/snorkeling trips available.

Points négatifs: No air conditioning in the room. Staff not particularly helpful.

Points positifs: The queen seaview suites were unbelievably perfect. Clean, well maintained, private, very nicely decorated. Options for activities were great. The snorkeling we did with the dive centre was great. Loved the convenience of not having to pay each time we eat or drink. The staff were the real super stars. They were so kind, seemed to enjoy their jobs, eachother and the guests. The sea views were truly unbelievable. The beach (a short distance away via several transportation options) was perfect, clean and private.

Points négatifs: Fans in the bar/restaurant, a few more options on the menu (or lunch and dinner menus), more local breakfast foods (chapatis, kitembua, mandanzi, masala chai, zanzibar sesame bread), bathrooms near the bar

Points positifs: magnifiques jardins, belle vue sur la mer et sur l'île. chambre spacieuse et agréable. belles infrastructures.

Points négatifs: nous avons déjà fait nos remarques à l'établissement mais je les fais ici aussi. personnel pas très agréable, on a l'impression qu'ils ont envie d'être ailleurs et que c'est trop quand on demande quelque chose. très mal signalé quand on arrive avec sa propre voiture. il parait que c'est à cause des travaux de la nouvelle route . un peu loin de tout mais je le savais avant de partir. nous avons été voir le sud-est de l'île qui est plus animé que ce coin là. la plage de l'hôtel sert à manger mais il faut attendre que les plats viennent de l'hôtel (+- 45 min d'attente). quand on demande si il y moyen de manger à la plage, on répond oui mais pas que la nourriture vient de votre point de départ ! nous avons fait toute la promenade fort agréable mais sommes retournés à l'hôtel pour manger finalement.

Points positifs: LOCATED IN REMOTE JUNGLE, SUNSHINE MARINE LODGE IS A PERFECT GATEWAY. GREAT POOL WITH VIEW ON NMEMBA ISLAND. BEAUTIFUL WHITE SANDY BEACH IS AT 5MN BY FREE TRANSFER BOAT. GOOD RESTAURANT. DIVING CLUB IS VERY EXPENSIVE. IF YOU LOVE NATURE AND QUIETNESS, ITS YOUR PLACE :)

Points positifs: La vue magnifique

Points négatifs: Le restaurant n est pas bon et très chère

Points positifs: Right on beach. We stayed two nights after our safari. We chose the upstairs room with balcony and sea view and paid for the upgrade. It was worth it for us as it was very private. Other rooms on first floor are much less private. Really nice pool, good food, reasonable prices, bar. Staff try very hard to help out and please visitors. We beach combed and relaxed. Note water is very shallow so ocean swimming is not an option but the scuba/snorkel trips offered are wonderful. We liked the quiet, easy going vibe to this place. Owner is on site for any questions and really takes care to provide good food. We ate all our meals in the restaurant.

Points négatifs: Nothing really other than smoking allowed in some spots.always bothers me.

Points positifs: The hotel is situated on a lovely beach. There is a large, lovely pool and many lounge chairs with palapas. The dining room is nice and the food is quite good. Staff is overall friendly though not as attentive as we encountered on the mainland. It is located

Points négatifs: The property is fine and reasonably comfortable but there are areas which need to be renovated. The owner seemed a bit lackadaisical about it (we had termites that were on the floor)--no major damage but presence noted. The AC was fair; it often didn't really work during the day; was mostly adequate at night.

Points positifs: The property is right next to the beach and they have a lovely pool. The staff were very nice and helpful. Food was generally good.

Points négatifs: The air conditioning was not always reliable. Our shower gave multiple pin needle sized sprays. My guess is that multiple openings for water were blocked and needed to be cleaned and or demineralized.

Points positifs: We ate there for 9 days and didn’t have one bad meal. Food was excellent, at every meal. It was freshly cooked and the fish dishes were exceptional. Staff were helpful and friendly. Jan, the owner was always about to help. It was certainly the place to relax. I have no complaints.

Points négatifs: The resort needs a bit of refurbishment but it it did not detract from our stay.

Points positifs: This place is very nice and comfortable, never felt crowded, the food was amazing and the staff so kind, right on the beach, we loved staying here

Points positifs: L'accueil le personnel le lieux la tranquillité la nourriture

Points négatifs: Pas de frigo en chambre

Points positifs: Very peacefull, lovelly pleace.Perfect relax diretctly on the beach :)

Points négatifs: Restauration de peu de qualité

Points positifs: Tout était fabuleux. Petite structure. Patrons adorables qui nous ont aidés à contacter la compagnie aérienne pour modifier notre vol. Magnifique plage devant. Piscine superbe. Bon resto à des prix raisonnables. Seul problème : la clim tout à fait insuffisante.. npus avons eu très chaud.. mais je recommande vraiment cet hotel.

Points négatifs: La climatisation pas assez puissante

Points positifs: The location was ideal. Right on the beautiful white sand beach. The rooms were authentic and comfortable. We were treated really well by Jan the owner and all of the staff. The food was excellent. It was the perfect place to relax after climbing Kilimanjaro.

Points positifs: Great staff and super dining in their restaurant

Points positifs: L'ensemble est vraiment bien mais mention spéciale pour la nourriture qui est juste délicieuse

Points négatifs: WiFi pas assez puissant
