ذا ريزيدنس زانزيبار

WOW words cannot describe how beautiful this resort is. We booked 4 nights here for our honeymoon and wish we had stayed longer!! We could not find a single thing to complain about here - it was clean, the food was phenomenal, the staff was friendly and helpful and everything from the rooms to the main pool to the restaurant views of the beach were stunning. You will not regret staying here!!

A great resort in which we enjoyed a very enjoyable week. Friendly staff, great food and a spacious well cleaned.

Superb! Highly recommended - from the villa, to the food, to incredible staff. Would go back tomorrow if we could.

Service and staff were impeccable throughout our stay.

We enjoyed our vacation very much overall - there were some areas of improvement in terms of service at meal times where one felt a little "processed" as if you were in a holiday camp rather than a prestige private resort. The food offering was adequate. Housekeeping was excellent for the first two days and then dwindled in efficiency - The property was very busy and one felt that it was understaffed versus the guest occupancy and therefore service levels were unimpressive. We had a misunderstanding in terms of a "complimentary" spa treatment which actually turned out to be merely a discounted treatment, but the management of the hotel dealt with the matter graciously - my feeling is that any complimentary offerings should be made crystal clear as to what that really is.... The property, in the main, is well looked after and extremely well laid out and the beach is kept constantly clean which is refreshing, the pool area is very attractive and relaxing but again the service levels need to be raised in this area because you are constantly looking for a waiter for drinks or a snack. The resort front gate access control personnel need to be far better briefed on arrivals for the day because you are kept embarrassingly waiting for a long time whilst you are checked out and you feel as if you are almost intruding..... At the $ rates charged I was underwhelmed - Not a good welcoming feeling at all. However after all said and done we will return.

Staff is very kind and service oriented! I enjoyed the bikes at disposal :-) Food is excellent! There is entertainment every evening.... is this necessary? We choose this place hoping to be in the middle of nature! First evening the music was so loud that we couldn’t hear each other’s speaking. Luckily the other evenings it was calmer and the African music very nice ... yet I would have appreciated just the sound of the wind in the palm trees !

Villas were clean and spacious. But no make up removal pads etc and cheap toiletries

Although our feelings were mixed in the beginning of whether it would be worth the money, in the end we agreed that it was. The staff is very nice, the views are amazing and villa 103 if you don’t necessary care for much privacy has lovely not obstructed views to the ocean as it is set directly in front of the beach. In the evenings at dinner there is always an entertainment show. The guys at the pool, Misambo and Mc Donald are very helpful as well as reception staff Benjamin. Mr Martin, a restaurant manager is always everywhere asking if there is something to make your stay better. They have bicycles provided for every villa moove around the resort and also daily free yoga classes with a nice instructor. What we would have liked more is seafood dishes as they have plenty of it. The staff is very vivid, helpfull and full of life and deserve their tips.

The villa was beautiful and the service was exceptional. The buffets were good but the set menu for dinner was not as good.

Loved the individual units and the private pools in each unit
