Jambiani White Sands Bungalows
4/531 Reviews
we arrived at Jambiani White Sands by taxi, as soon as we arrived the hotel staff came to collect our bags and took us to the hall (in perfect bungalow style) they sat us down and offered us a welcome drink, a fruit smoothie fresh. after which they explained the place to us and took us to our room. the place is wonderful, bungalows on the very fine white beach, the sea a little green a little blue and blue and you can see from the window it is one step away from the rooms really on the beach like in the films. The staff is very kind, they make you feel at home, they explain all the secrets of Zanzibar and their territory. we also did some excursions recommended by Joka who guided us through the local wonders. The excursions are highly recommended, they take you step by step to the places you want to go, explaining everything and making you experience this wonderful country. The restaurant inside the structure is also highly recommended, with very fresh peece cooked on the spot. truly a paradise Thanks to joka mohamed and ibra for the experience you gave us siamo arrivati al Jambiani White Sands in taxi, appena arrivati il personale dell'albergo è venuto a ritirare pe nostre valige e ci hanno portati nella hall (in perfetto stile bungalow) li ci hanno fatto sedere e offerto un drink di benvenuto un frullato di frutta fresca. dopodiche ci hanno spiegato il posto e portati alla nostra stanza. il luogo è meraviglioso, bungalow sulla spiaggia bianca finissima, il mare un pó verde un pó azzuro e blu e si vede dalla finestra è a un passo dalle camere veramente sulla spiaggia come nei film. Lo staff è gentilissimo, ti fanno sentire a casa, ti spiegano tutti i segreti di Zanzibar e del loro territorio. abbiamo fatto anche delle escursioni consigliate da Joka che ci ha guidato nelle meraviglie locali. consigliatissime le escursioni, vi accompgnano passo a passo nei luoghi dove volete andare, spiegandovi tutto e facendovi vivere questo paese meraviglioso. consigliatissimo anche il ristorante all'interno della struttura, il peece freschissimo cucinato al momento. veramente un paradiso. Grazie a Joka, Mohamed e Ibra per l’esperienza che ci avete fatto vivere
Alma Boutique Hotel
4.7/544 Reviews
What a hotel! Absolutely beautiful decor and facilities. Staff were all so friendly, helpful and professional, never wanted for anything whilst there, service was impeccable. Rooms were really good size and fantastically stocked with shower robes, slippers, shower accessories, toothbrushes, razors, shaving foam, towels, minibar and coffee. The food was all absolutely amazing too, the portion size are quite big so make sure you’re hungry. Overall, this hotel is just great, I would definitely recommend it for a stay. Only words of caution I would give you, take some water shoes with you as the sea outside the hotel is full of urchins. I would also recommend doing the snorkelling and starfish tour, and go to Salaam Cave to see the turtles. The general manager was also there with his wife both of whom were fantastic hosts and always came to say hello in the evenings and ensure everything is okay.
Equalia boutique hotel

I travelled with my elderly parents and our stay at Equalia Boutique Hotel was wonderful. Its proximity to the ocean is brilliantly close, you can take a swim and within a few meters you're back to the hotel watching life pass you by on Jambiani beach. Walking along the beach in Jambiani is safe and whilst there are some people selling items, with a polite no thank you, they leave you alone. We enjoyed many long walks and we also saw the magnificent sunrises whilst we did our morning yoga on a few occasions. Breakfasts were included and were delicious comprising of fresh fruit, fresh juices, eggs, pancakes and bread. We also enjoyed the lunches and dinners, the seafood platter is divine as is the vegetable curry and rice. We also drank plenty of fresh coconut water, scooping out and eating the coconut flesh as well. The staff at the hotel were incredibly kind, helpful and fun to be around. There are plenty of excursions that can also be organised for you. We didn't hire a car but took taxis which were very easily booked through the hotel. Paje beach and restaurants are a 10 minute ride away and worth a visit, the beach there is also stunning. We spent a couple of afternoons idling our time at Mr Kahava's where the food is also good. Stone Town is 1.5 hrs away and definitely worth a visit. They management can also organise airport transfers upon arrival and departure. There is more I would like to have done during our stay, it just means we have to come back again and I'd definitely stay at Equalia Boutique Hotel without hesitation. Asante Sana Equalia team, see you again sometime. Varsha, Laxmi and JJ
Fun Beach Hotel
4.3/554 Reviews
I stayed at this hotel for 5 days. The hotel is just as it looks in the pictures, nice and the outside areas are well maintained. The rooms, are very small and quite damp due to the integrated shower. The pillows are damp, even ours were mouldy (we had them changed). The mosquito nets have holes in them (they were replaced with new ones) and the toilet has no ventilation. The safe box did not work and we were never able to use it. There are no amenities, they offer the same body soap and shampoo, no body lotion. The food in the restaurant is VERY mediocre and the staff speaks very little English, so it is very difficult to place an order with any intolerance or personal request (they almost never took it into account and brought the dish as it was on the menu, we ended up talking to the chef to clarify our intolerances), but in the end, for guests with any kind of intolerance/allergy, I would NOT recommend this hotel. The service in the restaurant is very slow, it took us about an hour and a half to dine, ordering only one drink and one dish per person. The glasses in the restaurant are made of plastic and very old. We do not recommend ordering breakfast to take away (breakfast box), we requested it the day of check out for 5:30am and it was not prepared, so we had to leave the hotel WITHOUT breakfast and without ANY solution, only an apology, even having paid for it as we had half board. To sum up, very poorly managed hotel with maintenance and hygiene/cleaning work to be done in order to meet the expectations of a 3 star hotel. We will recommend our travel agency to stop working with this hotel.
Coral Rocks Hotel & Restaurant
3.8/513 Reviews
Check-in? Smooth as butter. Room? Cleaner than most 5-star hotels I’ve seen so far. Outside terrace? It’s literally Bali combined with Zanzibar. Staff? Friendliest people I’ve probably ever met. Food? The chef should be praised 24/7. This is just a summary of everything that should interest you. We arrived at Coral Rock at around 9am, knowing that check-in is usually at 2pm. We were greeted at the reception by a lady that informed us that the former guests will be leaving and as soon as the room is properly cleaned, we can go in. We left our luggage at the reception and proceeded to relax in the restaurant area while we waited. We had coffees, fruit platters and fresh juices and were entertained by Jerry, a staff member of Coral Rock. We had a very pleasant conversation, he had a wonderful smile and just made time pass easier. After what seemed to only be 5 minutes (but was actually 3 hours), we were informed by Ali (another staff member with whom we completely fell in love) that the room is ready. We proceeded to go to the reception to get the luggage - gasp - which was gone. Instead, the bags were waiting for us in a cool AC’d room, with a big bed full of flowers and fresh water bottles. To die for! This is just our first story with Coral Rock. The following days were amazing as well. Each day we dropped our key off at the reception so housekeeping can occur, which was done very seamlessly. The staff members (especially Ali and Jerry) always made sure to ask us if we need anything and if everything is to our liking. Now, the food… The food! We ate the greatest octopus and calamari ever! We also had a Swahili style seafood coconut curry, which was absolutely (again) to die for. Now, I’ve seen some bad reviews of the tuna tartaki (basically tuna steak), with people saying that it would always be way too dry and cooked extremely well done, which of course is not ideal with this dish; I decided to venture and try it out to see for myself. Needless to say, the reviews were either outdated or simply written by people that have nothing to do whatsoever with food, because it was cooked to perfection. Perfectly medium-rare in the center and crusted with toasted sesame seeds? It was absolutely mesmerizing how perfect that dish was made. I absolutely adored every single part of this experience. Other great dishes include the ramen (all variations of it, as we ate the beef, seafood and chicken ramen), the grilled veggies & calamari salad, the pineapple tart, the curries, and the list could go on and on and on. I was pleased to see the chef and his (cutest toddler ever) daughter, and I would congratulate him all day everyday if I could. We even got to enjoy a stunning floating breakfast all accustomed for by Ali! I can’t describe this place enough. I had high expectations, but Coral Rock exceeded them and then some! Please don’t base your decisions on old, outdated reviews; you might miss out on the greatest experience ever. Note that I’m writing this wit
Marea Boutique Hotel
4.3/529 Reviews
We recently stayed for seven nights (myself and my two daughters - one adult and one child). Location is amazing - right on the beach with picture book views from the room and the balcony. The swimming pool was a welcome addition and the restaurant always delivered great Italian food. Breakfast was plentiful. On a few nights, we took a short walk along the beach to try out some of the other restaurants but nothing compared. The staff just couldn’t do enough and were very friendly. The resort is small (just 15 rooms) and is located at the quieter end of Jambiani so not too busy. Airport transfers worked perfectly (you have to request them in advance) and the hotel arranged some unforgettable custom day trips for us. The room was basic and quite small but more than adequate for what we needed. We were treated a few times to the colobus monkeys in the trees right next to our balcony and you can hear the gentle crashing of waves in the room. If I had to be picky - a fridge, kettle and safe in the room would have been useful. Otherwise no complaints and this is right up there as one of our favourite holidays ever.
