"Zuri Zanzibar is an outstanding resort and easily deserves 5 out of 5 stars. I travel extensively and regularly stay at Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and other luxury resorts, and Zuri matches that level of quality and service.
The property itself is stunning. I was especially impressed by the beautiful landscaping and gardens, which are expansive, meticulously maintained and cared for daily. We stayed in a suite with my partner and her best friend, and it was exceptional. The suite was very spacious, with a separate living room that easily accommodated an additional bed, plus a large patio with a hammock and dining table.
Our butlers, Peter and Pia, were outstanding. They were incredibly helpful and available 24/7, arranging everything from restaurant reservations and taxis to nightlife, excursions and airport transportation. Nothing was too much trouble.
The food was excellent throughout our stay, including the breakfast buffet, beach barbecue and poolside restaurant. The beach is beautiful, the beach bar is terrific, and the nightly sunset fire is a wonderful touch. The water sports and activities staff were also friendly and professional.
We visited several other hotels in Zanzibar, and Zuri was by far our favorite property and had the best beach. Beautiful resort, exceptional service and a truly five-star experience."
