The decoration style is beautiful, but the food service is far from what it should be at this price

Eind januari 2025 bezochten we voor de 3e keer het prachtige Baraza Resort op Zanzibar. Deze keer besloten we om 7 dagen bij Baraza te verblijven om uitgebreid te kunnen genieten van alles wat dit mooie resort te bieden heeft. De ontvangst was hartelijk en voelde als “thuiskomen”. Na een verfrissend drankje en doekje werden we naar onze villa ( nr 3) gebracht. Omdat het intussen al 23.30 uur was , en donker, konden we het uitzicht niet bewonderen maar genoten we van de klaargezette sandwiches, vers fruit en een wijntje uit de minibar. Daarna snel de douche in en slapen in het supergrote en comfortabele hemelbed. De villa is groot en prachtig ingericht met warme kleuren. Veel ruimte om te zitten, inclusief het mooie loungebed. Een zeer grote badkamer met een romantisch bad en fijne grote inloopdouche. Een flinke kleedruimte met voldoende ruimte voor alle kleren en spullen. Heerlijk om de koffers helemaal uit te pakken en alles uit te hangen. Er hangen 2 stille airco’s in de villa die ervoor zorgen dat de temperatuur aangenaam is om even te ontsnappen aan de warmte en comfortabel te slapen. Onze beachvilla was omringd door een tuin met prachtig bloeiende planten en keek direct uit op het strand met de wuivende palmbomen. Er is een groot terras grenzend aan de villa met diverse ligbedden en een heerlijke plungepool. Vanaf het terras liep je zo het strand op naar de voor onze villa gereserveerde strandbedjes. Daar werd je al snel door het attente team voorzien van handdoeken, een koeler met fris water en drankjes naar wens. Een super service. Eb en vloed wisselen elkaar af , en bij vloed kun je de heerlijk warme zee in. Bij eb trekt het water zich ver terug, maar dan kun je, door aanwezigheid van het rif, met waterschoenen aan, een flink stuk op het drooggevallen stuk wandelen om al het achtergebleven zeeleven te bekijken. Het strand is openbaar gebied, maar wordt constant bewaakt en je kunt dus over het strand veilig een wandeling maken. Je wordt hier niet belaagd door opdringerige verkopers. De gebouwen van Baraza liggen in een parkachtige setting en is prachtig onderhouden met veel groen en bloemen. Er wordt nauwkeurig gesnoeid zodat gasten geen last hebben van vallende kokosnoten of palmbladeren en regelmatig zie je dan ook een van de tuinmannen zeer behendig in een palmboom klimmen om een op scherp hangend blad te kappen. Door de ruime opzet, en met slechts 30 villa’s, is het er nooit druk en zijn er voldoende bedjes te vinden bij het zwembad en op het strand. De mooie witte, in Arabische stijl opgetrokken, gebouwen steken prachtig af tegen de blauwe lucht en er zijn diverse ruimtes voor ontbijt, lunch, diner en drankjes. Er wordt dagelijks gewisseld van Diner locatie en sfeer en vooral de avond waarbij alle tafels rondom het zwembad stonden was super romantisch. Iedere avond is er ook een wisselend muziekprogramma tijdens het eten. Variërend van rustige gitaarmuziek tot opzwepende Afrikaanse beats met dans. Ontbijt is in buffetvorm met

From the moment we were greeted at the entrance to the Baraza the service was extraordinary. There is nothing more we could have asked for. The entire property is immaculately taken care of. The grounds are being taken care of constantly. The buildings and decor are beyond beautiful. The entire service staff in every department is professional, pleasant and go beyond what any guest could ask for. The food is delicious; it is presented beautifully and artfully. The dining rooms could not have better service; it is excellent. The pool and beach are gorgeous. The chaises, cabanas and total area is being cleaned and maintained all the time. I have been to very few properties where the cushions on the loungers are scrubbed each day. I could go on and on........it is definitely one of the most magnificent hotels we have been to anywhere in the world with the best high level service and fantastic food and beverages. This extended to our departure as well.

We have enjoyed our stay at Baraza during our honeymoon. The villas was clean and cozy with the beautiful sea views, the staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. I have also enjoyed the meditation session at the SPA with the guidance of the coach. I can't recommend Baraza enough.

Mieliśmy okazję przebywać niecały rok temu w hotelu przez 10 dni. Mój mąż parę dni przed wylotem uległ wypadkowi przez co połamał sobie obojczyk. Byliśmy również z małym dzieckiem. Muszę powiedzieć, że byliśmy bardzo miło zaskoczeni tym jak obsługa dba o swoich gości. Począwszy od Pan sprzątających, gdzie czyściły nam nawet buty... po kucharzy, którzy przygotowywali nam potrawy, które sami sobie wymyślaliśmy a na koniec po kelnerów, którzy dbali o to aby nie było nam za gorąco ustawiajac 3 wielkie wentylatory przy naszym stoliku , aby kawa była nie za mocna, dosłownie taka jaka lubię. Na słowa podziękowania zasługuje Muawe, która na każdym kroku bardzo nam dogadzała. Jeśli chodzi o hotel to jest bardzo kameralny co przypadło nam do gustu, obsługa doskonale pamięta co lubimy i czasem bez slow otrzymywaliśmy to co akurat lubimy. Polecam serdecznie wszystkim ceniacym sobie komfort, spokoj, ciszę i prywatność. Pozdrowienia dla całej obsługi!

What a stunning resort! This entire resort is so beautiful! The grounds are gorgeous and the villa rooms were so luxurious it made us feel like royalty. The villas are very spacious and beautifully designed. Dipping in our private plunge pool overlooking the Indian Ocean could not be beat. The pool area and beach are lovely. Having our own assigned beach cabana area was a very nice detail. The entire staff was friendly and helpful...always smiling and offering a kind greeting. Meals were all wonderful and dinner often included local entertainment. On our last day, I was telling our breakfast waitress how sad we were to be leaving. She then arranged a special private beachside table with a special seafood lunch for our last meal in Zanzibar. It was a very thoughtful gesture and a nice ending to our wonderful time there. I am so sad that I didn't write down her name so I could thank her in this review. Our only other regret is that we didn't stay longer. We were just here 3 nights after a safari but it was the ideal place to relax after our adventure. I have traveled a lot but this is one of the most beautiful spots we have stayed.
