The hotel is beautiful and the staff are wonderful, especially Omar. He cared about the smallest details and helped us with everything. He deserves respect and appreciation and provided us with all means of comfort and happiness. The customer service was very good and even the food was very delicious. It was a special experience for us that we enjoyed.

Featuring a private beach area and views of sea, RoRi Private Luxury Villas is a recently renovated villa located in Bwejuu, a few steps from Bwejuu Beach. Wow! Such a beautiful place with impeccable decor, every comfort available! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beachfront villa. The property itself is a dream - large outdoor living space, your own pool, and the beach just steps away. The inside had all the modern amenities including a minibar - soft drinks were free and replenishable as well as a large variety of teas. We lived the amazing breakfast spread each morning served to our villa, staff were very helpful and friendly, Riccardo and the kitchen staff were always available. We loved having lunch and dinner options available from the kitchen and we were pleased with the food when we chose to have it. It was also very easy to walk to local restaurants along the beach which were delicious and low cost. Many activities are bookable through the villa and we even availed ourselves of the massage therapist. It was also super helpful to be connected to a driver not only for airport transfers but also to get around the island. I will definitely return!

Featuring a terrace with pool views, pool with a view and a garden, Zuzanu house can be found in Nungwi, close to Nungwi Beach and 43 km from Kichwele Forest Reserve. Really nice room, comfy, spacious, clean, well decorated, and good mosquito nets. Delicious and varied breakfast (homemade jam super delicious). Zuzana (owner) is super nice and gave good suggestions for restaurants and excursions. The house is in a less touristy area (super safe) and even if it is not beach front, it is super easy to access the beach (1 minute walk).

The food is simply delicious, we tasted Nigerian dishes and they also accommodated our dietary requirements. The team is a gem, everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating. I'll definitely be back and can recommend this hotel for your trip in Zanzibar!

Located in Jambiani, a few steps from Paje Beach, Daima Villas provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Charming and quiet boutique hotel with 2 pools. The hotel is well maintained and extremely clean. The rooms are nicely decorated and the bed is very comfortable. Great water pressure (which is not always the case in the island). Delicious breakfast (I loved the avocado toasts). Only 1 minute away from the beach with nice bars / restaurants around. Also a lot of delicious local restaurants in the village only 10 minutes away by walk. The staff is really friendly and welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this gem ❤️ (On the pictures: Room with pool view / the bar on the beach near the hotel)
