Top East Coast Zanzibar 5 Star Hotels

Melia Zanzibar

5.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (243)
"Melia was a beautiful hotel with a very cosy room. The room was modern designed, private and was very comfortable. It offered the perfect solo retreat for me. A few observations, the level had signs that said adults only yet saw alot of children playing around the pool and breakfast there. 2ndly i think the front desk lady has to educate guests about the advantages of the level properly and not only the map of the premises. I felt like i missed out on a few priviledges the level offered that i...

Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive

5.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (22)
"Food was excellent - particularly prawn grill nights, service very attentive. All inclusive took the pressure off finding food locally. While the beach was cleaned each day, there is an unfortunate amount of rubbish from the locals - not something the hotel can control. More access to water would have been good. Many minor repairs are needed, like taps, locks air con, but as they say in Africa pole pole. Great stay, we enjoyed the hotel. "

5.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (146)
"What an experience. One of the more quieter and nicer all inclusive resorts on Zanzabar. 1/2 board though, but breakfast and dinner were ample buffets. Lots of local dishes and for such a remote place, much of the food is locally sourced. Fruit at breakfast and desserts made with local ingredients are standouts. Different themed buffets at dinner nightly. Lunch was always snacks at the beach which included a top notch chicken tikka tandoori and nan. Would highly recommend as staff was...

5.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (30)
"We had an amazing stay at the Amani! The hotel is a perfect place for an adults-only, quiet, relaxing stay. The location was a bit outside of Paje (20 minute walk along the beach), and there were limited options for dining because of the location, but dinner is included so that meant we had a quiet, delicious dinner every night. The view of the pool, grounds, and beautiful beach were beautiful. There were lounges chairs on the beach and pool and enough for every guest - a first for us! The...

"We arrived to check in around 8pm. There was only 1 person at the check in area who was handling everything from bag carrying to offering coconut to scouting for keys etc. So we had to wait abit. She also seemed abit confused with the paper work so was abit frustrating having arrived late and all we wanted was our room key.

Tikitam Palms Boutique Hotel

5.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (33)
"Vi hade fantastiska dagar. Men! Det finns ingen strand och att bada i havet är inte ett alternativ. Så trots det exklusiva och härliga så saknade vi möjligheten till promenader och fysisk aktivitet. Inget gym. Ett gym hade gjort hela skillnaden. Två tre dagar hade varit perfekt. Tips är: börja semestern här, varva ner och mys, men åk sedan till ett annat hotell där ni kan röra er mer"
