Tout est fait pour vous inciter à dépenser des sommes astronomiques pour des services qui nous ont été facturés dans d autres établissements deux fois moins chers. (Excursions, service blanchisserie, suppléments au petit déjeuner) De plus l équipe du restaurant ne semble pas épanouie et l accueil y est désagréable. Il y a eu beaucoup de coupures d électricité durant la nuit et lorsque le groupe électrogène a pris le relais, nous avons été systématiquement réveillés. Bref le rapport qualité prix du Marea Boutique Hôtel est le plus décevant des 6 hôtels visités à Zanzibar. ##### NADYSE Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### qingzhi Sep 30, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities not good,not recommend. ##### qingzhi Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Monica Jan 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Geo Zanzibar Resort has very friendly staff all around. The hotel isn't a 5 star one ( nor does it claim to be). We were there for breakfast and dinner only since we were in excursions every single day of our stay. The restaurant is excellent!!! The A/C could not keep the room cold because of the unreliable power in Zanzibar. That was the only thing that I didn't like which there was nothing that could be done. They did provide a fan that helped a lot during the night. During the day it does get hot, but since we were not there (except for our last day), it didn't matter. They were very kind and allowed us for a late check out. The staff is treated very nicely by the owners. We had a nice stay overall. ##### Monica Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Barbara Feb 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic on-site restaurant with a wonderful breakfast which is included and an excellent dinner menu. The pizza is authentic Napolitana pizza! Scrumptious! Rooms are nice. Balcony looks out over the gorgeous beach. 2 beds in our room - one had a big dip in the middle and the other was perfect. Bathroom was nice and large. A/C worked. There were holes in the mosquito screen and gaps between the screen and the window so opening the window was not an option. Lovely pool so you could swim even when the tide was out. Limited beach chairs so need to get out early to claim your spot! Very close to the bar on the pier which I highly recommend for happy hour drinks! The Vietnamese restaurant next door is also excellent. A VERY long beach and easy walking as you turn right out of the hotel property. Excellent option for coffee and lunch just down the beach at the Coffee house. Great location, walking distance to so many wonderful other eating options although you don't really need to leave. Final excellent option is being able to book your airport transportation through the hotel! Would definitely come back. ##### Barbara Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roman Jun 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### The Marea (formerly the Geo) is a gem I did lots of research for my family's trip to Zanzibar because there did not seem to be a lot of accurate information online. I felt comfortable with my reservation at the Marea (fka Geo) and it turned out I was right. From the owners (who may be there to greet you) to the hospitality, and dining options were perfect for a middle class family from the West Coast. The room is basic but comfy enough. You can ask for extra pillows. The besds have sheets but no blankets. This encourages you not to blast AC all night long. Also: the beach. I heard mixed answers about the quality of the beach in Jambiani. Well, I can tell you the beach right in front of the hotel is perfect white sand. The water is not clear. There's some (not a lot for us) seasweed. Maybe it's not as good as Kendwa and Nungwi. But there were almost no beach boys. And the ones who were there accepted a no after the third time. My family had the beach all to ourselves each morning. That's never really happened to us before! Don't miss out on a walk to the village. The people are super nice. Bring something to MOVE Zanzibar to donate to the kids it benefits. ##### Roman Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### CLAUDETTE Apr 14, 2024 ##### CLAUDETTE Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### EMILIE Apr 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### EMILIE Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### LAURE Apr 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### LAURE Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Patrice Feb 24, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness #### Rapport qualité prix médiocre Personnels très sympathique et très accueillant. Le point négatifs est plutôt du côté des propriétaires qui ne daigne même pas dire bonjour. Certainement un gros problème d'éducation. Au niveau du restaurant, le petit-déjeuner est très bien, quand aux repas cela s'arrête au pizza et pasta.... Heureusement qu'il y a d'autres restaurants moins chers ou l'ont peut manger local juste à côté. ##### Patrice Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### MARTINE Sep 28, 2023 ##### MARTINE Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dylan Sep 7, 2023 ##### Dylan Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeppe Breinholm Jul 20, 2023 ##### Jeppe Breinholm Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jimmy Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A little bit of paradise Ett familjeägt hotell med pool, 2 min till deras privata stens. Solstolar och parasoller och egen vakt. Bra restaurang med Italiensk mat och trevlig hjälpsam personal. Inget partyställe vilket passar oss utmärkt. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2190D4D319CC9B40D0360AAA9D8EDEB1FA9482A41687671510481.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jimmy Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rainer Apr 17, 2023 ##### Rainer Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 2, 2023 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ulrica Feb 28, 2023 ##### Ulrica Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Eirik Jan 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Eirik Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carine Dec 31, 2022 ##### Carine ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Sunrise-Beach-Resort.h16382901.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Louise-Hotels.d10115.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Louise-Cabins.d10115-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Moose Hotel And Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Moose-Hotel-And-Suites.h14703440.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 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) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in San Juan](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Juan-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d3179-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Brubru Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Melia Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Gran-Melia-Arusha.h34865479.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Moon Palace Cancun - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Moon-Palace-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h428588.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Bluebay-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1867044.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Windsor (YQG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yqg/vancouver-to-windsor) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Warsaw (WAW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/waw/montreal-to-warsaw) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Québec City (YQB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yqb/toronto-to-quebec) ### Activities > [Things to do in Detroit](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Detroit.d178255.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Delta Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Delta.d6913.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Portugal](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/147/Portugal)
