5/5 Excellent
"Excellent staff and management "
A verified traveller stayed at Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive
"I had a wonderful time at this location. The staff was amazing, very cordial and accommodating. The property was cleaned constantly, the food was delicious and the poolside bar was great. Walking distance to beaches, aquarium and Zoo. I would definitely go back. "
"Deluxe room was more of a suite with separate kitchen area, bathroom & bedroom, Large balcony with both chairs and a twin hammock. Not plush by European standards but quite nice anyway. AC was great, wifi was good, food was good. A couple of silly rules, IE outside drinks will be confiscated but a nice stay."
A verified traveller stayed at Mnarani Beach Cottages
"The property was great. The pool was convenient and there was plenty of sun chairs for the amount of guests. The resort has everything you need from a convenient store, massage, PADI shop and two restaurants. The happy hour is great but the food is so-so. The hotel staff are kind and very helpful. The staff at the restaurant are kind but sometimes on island time and orders aren’t always correct, which happens sometimes. Overall would recommend.
The AC in our room didn’t blow all the way to the bedroom as it was in a corner. The fan breeze somehow could not go through the bed net. And the washroom stayed fairly humid and warm. "
A verified traveller stayed at Amaan Beach Bungalows
"Staff were excellent, property was incredible, food was really good. Short distance from Nungwi beach. Highly recommend this place, view is fabulous. The shop onsite is very expensive with limited choice but overall 5*. "
