From the moment I arrived at Zimbali, I felt truly welcomed the entrance mat isn’t lying, you really do feel at home! The staff are warm, attentive, and go out of their way to make your stay special. The property itself is simply stunning. The views are breathtaking and peaceful, the perfect escape from the everyday. The room was huge offering plenty of space but a little less cozy than expected. The estate offers fantastic facilities. A golf cart conveniently takes you to the private beach club, where strolling along the sand and enjoying the breeze without the crowds was an absolute highlight. I’m also looking forward to trying the spa on my next visit it looked amazing! The pool area is good with comfortable pool beds and a relaxing atmosphere. The lobby is thoughtfully designed with great pods to work in such a brilliant concept and very convenient. Zimbali is the perfect destination for those seeking tranquility and highly recommended for a gateway.

Lovely location but the hotel feels very dated. Paint peeling, room doors scratched and wood coming loose. Really disappointing but the owners need to invest and upgrade this place.
