We absolutely loved our stay at Zanziblue! Everyone who worked at the hotel and restaurant was so professional, gracious and kind. They were helpful when we needed laundry done and a driver to Stonetown and back. The meals were especially memorable. Beautiful presentation and so delicious. In all our travels, we had the best meals there. Sabina, the manager there, was so welcoming. It was clean and comfortable and the grounds were beautiful. It was a profusion of color. We enjoyed the pool area, finding both shade and sun lounge areas. Zanziblue was the perfect place to relax after a 10 day safari!

Zanziblue in LOVE
Zanziblue was simply amazing. SHARLENE and her staff made sure that a of our needs were attended to for my 30th bday. they were patient, kind and understanding. I look at my Zanzibar pics daily and smile, ZANZIBLUE was the main reason for this continued smile. I appreciate them more than ever. The tours offered were amazing, the house was always tidy and clean, the bar was always stocked and I even received a massage right outside of my room on the balcony. Zanziblue is a dream and I recommend it for small and big groups. You’ll have a blast. SHARLENE runs a tight ship and you’ll love her.

Täyden kympin hotelli.
Kaiken kaikkiaan upea kokemus. Henkilökunta oli todella ammattitaitoinen ja mukava. Huone ja koko hotelli oli todella hyvässä kunnossa ja erittäin viihtyisä. Aamiainen oli upea, erikoiskahvit kuuluivat hintaan. En keksi tästä hotellista ja sen henkilökunnasta mitään moitittavaa. Kaikki sujui upeasti ja asiakaspalvelu oli erinomaista.

Parfait à tout point de vue
Incroyable!! Tout était parfait, on recommande à 1000%. La chambre spacieuse, propre (ménage effectué de façon parfaite chaque jour), parfumée, avec une vue magnifique sur la piscine et sur l’océan. L’espace piscine est nettoyé chaque jour, très agréable avec un accès direct à la plage de sable blanc. Le personnel est aux petits soins, souriant, agréable, attentionné et disponible. Toutes nos demandes ont été réalisées avec soin. Enfin, que dire du restaurant, un vrai délice. Une carte variée, une cuisine raffinée, un joli dressage, de bons cocktails. A tel point que nous y avons mangé tous les jours! Nous vous conseillons le dîner privé barbecue qui est un moment inoubliable mêlant un repas excellent, un service de qualité et un cadre magique. Et tout ça pour un prix plus qu’accessible! Encore merci pour tout.
