Some amazing staff but had a sense there was a lack of direction. Very expensive food and drinks. Very poor knowledge of food allergies despite emailing weeks in advance and speaking with staff at check in. ##### Alison Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HARRISON Jan 8, 2025 Liked: Amenities A wonderful gem in Zanzibar. I can’t recommend this place enough, beautiful, tranquil, delicious food and clean comfortable bedrooms. It was the perfect few days I needed. The hotel is also very helpful in organising excursions, spa treatments etc . Would recommend to anyone. ##### HARRISON Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shital Jan 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent stay Wonderful staff Superb scenery ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B3578D4C96EF5057A1A80B3B5C5AEB8CE0F99FC31673197847747.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CF3F9696778CA45CBCEA97C35A7884E5EA27888F1673197847045.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D1F2EBBCF425E1BC1697CB6D65BEEA2DD65D19E41673197851969.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C82050392935A574407D6878022729D3954BF0951673197848636.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shital Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very attentive staff ##### Kyle Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### wokie Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was spacious and very comfortable.

Opted for a sea view lodge and ended up in a beautiful, self contained cottage on a private beach. Staff are attentive and very helpful. Room was clean and spacious. All in all I would have no issue with recommending a stay here. ##### David Alan Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spectacular property!

Great quality food with nice breakfast! Rooms nice, mattresses standard like everywhere in Zanzibar. Attention: for this who are looking for the typical Zanzibar beaches, don’t go there! For swimming go to east coast hotels. Swimming and beach is not recommended here due to busy little harbor bay only. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jimmy Apr 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The environment was very welcoming and everyday i saw how hard everyone on the staff worked in unison to provide me comfort and convenience. Elisha and Zebron i dealt with daily and they made sure everything was in order and that i enjoyed myself. The cooks serce some of the best food i have tasted it was so i tried food i have never tried. The property was secure and i had no worries of unfavorable events occuring. First place i have stayed wjere housekeeping comes in person at least 3 times a day to ensure the room is in order or to check if anything is needed. I didn’t just meet people that work at a lodge there, no i made friends and i will be visiting again. Asante sana to the entire staff and managers ##### Jimmy Stayed 17 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura Nov 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Beautiful and unique hotel with amazing staff We felt so comfortable staying at this hotel, and the staff did everything in their power to make it a perfect stay. We had an amazing stay at Chuini Beach Lodge. The hotel is a perfect size if you don’t like the big commercialized resorts, and are looking for a more personal experience. The service was definitely the best we experienced in Zanzibar (we stayed at different hotels). In addition, it’s location makes it super easy to visit Stone Town and the northern part of the island. However, you won’t get the crystal blue water on this side of the island, so I’d recommend to combine your stay at Chuini with some days on the East coast to experience the beautiful water Zanzibar has to offer. ##### Laura Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Asha May 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The surrounding areas at night had loud noises it the room was stunning. It could have just been the situation of our room as it was close to the gate. The room unfortunately also didn’t have a telephone so when my husband got food poisoning and i wasn’t feeling my best I had to go to reception to ask for some help. The staff were super accommodating and always friendly. ##### Asha Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stetson Oct 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing stay at a beautiful resort. The vistas of the nearby palace ruins are stunning and the pool areas open and comfortable. The food in the restaurant is delicious and I highly recommend the dinner set menus. If you visit on a Friday evening, the Tanzanian meal is incredible. Staff is friendly and attentive. The only drawback is the boat maintenance going on in the bay below and adjacent to the resort, which draws local labourers. The bay is loud and full of rubbish so keep your eyes to the sea, which has a killer sunset! I would definitely return. ##### Stetson Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Abdulla Apr 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ok ##### Abdulla Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann Jul 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Small property as to number of rooms. Staff very helpful and personable. Food was good, sometimes slow other times within minutes of ordering. Lovely party for guest one evening with music and celebration of food and maybe for full moon. Not easy to ambulatory the step and walkway. They were uneven and nights the walkway not lite very well. On the ocean and a fishing area, some times isand petroleum and the burning smells...overall Avery pleasant stay would recommend and would love to visit again. ##### Ann Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SAMY SADRADDIN Sep 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was spectacular, the workers are so friendly and kind. Probably the best guest service I’ve ever experienced, they were very helpful and understanding. The rooms were nice not that big and not that small, I also liked that they do housekeeping service twice a day. The food was delicious and the portions were good for one person, I don’t know why most reviews say that portions were small! They weren’t small at all. But to be fair prices of drinks and food were not cheap, they were average. Thank you for everything i had an amazing stay and definitely an unforgettable memory. ##### SAMY SADRADDIN Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Petawawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Petawawa-Hotels.d6047925.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Cabo-San-Lucas-All-Inclusive.h1143264.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Africa Safari Selous](https://www.expedia.ca/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Selous.h8446485.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Melia Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Gran-Melia-Arusha.h34865479.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [Brubru Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Bluebay-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1867044.Hotel-Information) > > [Senator Puerto Plata](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Senator-Puerto-Plata-Spa-Resort-All-Inclusive.h29826620.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Sunrise-Beach-Resort.h16382901.Hotel-Information) > > [The Anndore House, part of JdV by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-Anndore-House.h19752581.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to San José (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sjo/toronto-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sin/vancouver-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fra/toronto-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Lagos (LOS) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/los/yeg/lagos-to-edmonton) ### Packages > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Old Port of Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Port-Of-Montreal-Ville-Marie.d553248621533087832.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Jamaica Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Jamaica.d88.Destination-Travel-Guides)
