MELIÁ Zanzibar

The property boasts excellent facilities, beautiful location with direct beach access, spacious rooms with modern amenities, and exceptionally friendly staff. Guests praise the immaculate cleanliness.

My experience with this hotel was incredibly positive ( I've been here nine and still maintains the level) . The cleanliness and attention to every aspect at the highest level immediately caught the eye, from the lobby and the entire main building (shisha zone, shops, indoor pool, bar, games zone e.g. billiards, etc.), including SPICE MARKET, clean, comfortable, with the possibility of eating outside (two zones for non-smokers and smokers would be useful), full of various delicacies, but practically unchanged, but able to satisfy with their dishes everyone will find something for themselves. TAMU resturant ....SUPER food it's a pity that guests avoid it because it's worth eating here, maybe it should be promoted in some way life cooking ?? Happy hours? Through the gardens, which were raked and pampered daily, the sounds of frogs give a unique atmosphere. Further on, there is a beautiful, very large, irregularly shaped swimming pool with a cascade, numerous sun loungers with umbrellas, there is also a bar, in the evenings once a week a disco, everything is neat, clean, but the bar needs renovation, but as the hotel manager Mr. Vikram Cheekoory,( you can clearly see that he is very, very engaged) I met several times a day, explained to me, you can see that he pays attention to quality and guests at every step (thanks a lot for showing, some of the rooms after renovation are beautiful, comfortable and deserve 5 *) part of the facility will be renovated from May 2025. The beach, it is vast, clean, cleaned every day, fully functional sunbeds. Still, here a SMALL MINUS the sunbeds cover the entire area, because part of the beach is for LEVEL guests (I fully understand and respect that LEVEL guests must have their own area and there should definitely be no other guests there). Still, such a large number of sunbeds on the MELIA side does not provide comfortable rest, the sunbeds are too close to each other, a big plus is CHILI music in the background, but if there are sunbeds with guests talking loudly, the spell of rest is broken and this causes great discomfort, as well as smoking cigarettes or cigars next to it is not comfortable for others.L A larger zone should be created with a greater distance between the sunbeds. Plus there is a zone for games, e.g. volleyball, board games and cards. The rooms do not disappoint with their size or hygiene, as well as their general condition, which is at a decent level, cleaned really regularly and moreover carefully. An interesting solution, separate areas of houses/rooms with their own pools with plants and frogs, beautifully lit sidewalks pleasantly surprise and add to the atmosphere. What must be emphasized is the incredible work of the entire team! Incredibly full of energy evening performances, who try in many ways to make everyone's time more pleasant (big thanks to CX Ana María Walls Gómez). Waiters, cooks, gardeners, cleaners, service people, who despite being tired always with a smile on their faces

It's been the 6th time that we went to this hotel and I still have to admit that it was each and every time a wonderful and extraordinary time with wonderufl impressions in a wonderful hotel. We have booked "The Level" rooms and enjoyed this additional luxury each second. Apart from that we have really to point out and to mention the extraordinary service, kindness and friendlyness of the staff is outrageous. We cannot mention only one person but have to mention all of them. They are all so wonderful! The food and the changing evening buffets is very good! The different a la carte restaurants are also recommandable! Especially the "Jetty" due to his extraordinary position right on top of the water in the sea! Gabi beach is fantatic! Especially the fact that it is a private beach where nobody else can stay. In these times in Zanzibar with growing tourism a really important point if you want to enjoy a certain privacy! We enjoyed always the ride in the "Dala Dala" going from the "Level" or the beach area to the main building leading through a tropical garden with donkeys, local bees etc. I like as wellvery much that the Dala dala bus as a Zanzibari tradition finds its space int the hotel as a tribute to the local culture! We will come back for sure!
