"Excellent location with a close walk to the beach and restaurants etc. Room was clean and great value for money. Staff were helpful, brought us a hairdryer when we needed it and breakfast was plentiful! A great little place to stay. "

"Ottima struttura per visitare e godersi la costa est di Zanzibar. Camere essenziali ma confortevoli, pulite e moderne. Staff super, Roberta e i colleghi ti fanno sentire davvero a casa. Il ristorante davvero ottimo sia per le colazioni sia per i pasti. Per chi cerca un’oasi di pace diversa dai classici resort (per vivere l’atmosfera di Zanzibar in modo più autentico) e della buona ospitalità (e cucina) italiana sicuramente è il posto giusto! Super consigliato! "

"The villa is beautifully arranged and has a somewhat jungle-like ambiance. The room, styled in an African theme, was tidy. The staff proved to be exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering advice on places to visit and assisting with taxi arrangements. Breakfast includes fruits, eggs, and coffee. The location is convenient as well. I would highly recommend this place."

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel, and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality by the owner and their fantastic team. The attention to detail throughout the hotel was impeccable, and it truly felt like a home away from home.

"Cette établissement est une énorme arnaque. Les photos sont mensongères. Nous avons payé 950 euros pour 8 nuits, c’est du vol. Nous sommes arrivés tard dans la nuit et il n’y avait personne pour nous accueillir. Nous entrons dans une chambre au hasard car nous ne savions pas où aller. La chambre et la salle de bain n’ont aucune lumière, dès que la nuit tombe c’est le noir total. La salle de bain était extrêmement salle, des fourmis se baladaient dans toute la pièce. Les fenêtres de la chambre ne...

"The staff was very helpful - walked me around the first day to ensure I got where I needed to go, made breakfast a little early for me so I could make it to diving on time, always smiled and greeted me. The room was very comfortable - clean, quiet, big. I really appreciated being just across the street from the main strip - it was a 2 minute walk away when I wanted it, but also a world away when I didn’t. "

"From the moment we arrived, Lux Marijani delivered a truly five-star experience that we simply cannot fault. This has been one of the best holidays we’ve ever had, and it’s all thanks to the incredible team who make every guest feel genuinely valued.
The welcome starts at reception, where the team take the time to get to know you. They remembered our names throughout our stay, which added such a personal touch and made us feel genuinely at home from day one.
Our room was beautiful, especially with its sea view and bathtub, making it the perfect place to relax after each day. The housekeeping team work incredibly hard and consistently go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect.
A special thank you to David at the bar, whose service was exceptional throughout our stay. He was always happy to create cocktails tailored to our personal tastes, and his banana smoothies are simply the best!
A special mention also goes to Mrisha, who regularly looked after us on the beach, taking and delivering our drinks with a smile. It was another example of the attentive service that makes this resort so special.
Martin and Issac in the restaurant were wonderful hosts—kind, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. Every meal was a pleasure, and although we’ve mentioned them by name, every member of the restaurant team was first class. In fact, every member of staff across the resort deserves recognition. There are simply too many to mention individually, but it’s clear they genuinel"
"During a recent break from a business trip in Dar Es Salaam, I decided to pop over to Zanzibar and spend two nights at the Kendwa Rocks Hotel. The resort is expansive and features an impressive variety of amenities and activities to keep you busy, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a dynamic beach vacation.It is worth noting for incoming guests that the property appears to be undergoing some massive renovations right now. Consequently, it is currently not in its peak aesthetic condition, and there are a few construction-related detours required just to get from one side of the property to the other.Despite the ongoing work and the minor navigation hurdles, the hotel serves as an excellent oasis to disconnect and lose yourself from the outside world for a few days. The disruptions are easily overshadowed by the hospitality. The staff members were each incredible—always friendly, helpful, and eager to ensure a great experience. Their exceptional service truly made a lasting impression. I thoroughly enjoyed my time winding down here, and if my travels ever bring me back to Zanzibar, I will absolutely book another stay at this hotel."
"Little sanctuary with direct beach access and sunrise facing pool. Beautiful spacious rooms with character. Staff are the best, super kind and accommodating. Thank you for checking me in late night and open reception for check out/bag drop early morning. Can highly recommend."
"On it's own away from the outside area, this is an excellent property.
The beach can be accessed by others but that is not an issue and the beach traders are not intrusive.
Shopping, dining, leasure and activities all catered for on site but trips out can also be organised from within the complex.
But the the thing that makes this place are the staff, from the gardening team to head chef, each and every one was courteous, helpful and happy.
Well done staff you make this place."
Hotel Riu Palace Swahili - All Inclusive - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"Clean room brilliant room care and cleaning well maintained hotel very beutiful beach views and clean well maintained pools. Room service can be a little slow and food a little repetitive but overall very good experience."
"Overall the Zuri was outstanding- we could not fault anything. We’re not buffet fans - however the quality, choice and freshness of each buffet was exceptional. There were also other dining options - the al a carte restaurant is super and we enjoyed an amazing beach BBQ. You will not be disappointed with the food. The resort was well laid out meaning the villas are very private. The villas themselves are gorgeous and very comfortable- inclusive of an air conditioning system for the bed - which we’ve never seen before and was appreciated. The cleaning and turn down was to a very high standard. The beach is amazing as are the sunsets and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment provided at sunset. The highlight was the pool - it’s great and definitely ranks in our top 3 pools from any resort. It’s a proper pool for swimming and there are plenty of beds and shade so it never felt busy. Finally the staff - wow - friendly, attentive and just brilliant. We were so sad leaving this resort as we enjoyed it so much and we hope to return one day."
