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

May stay at the Baraza was just wo wonderful only too short (three nights only). We received a very friendly welcome and were very attentively looked after throughout our entire stay. My bungalow was simply fantastic, very spacious and, at approximately 150 square meters, fully equipped with everything: a spacious living area, a super comfortable bed, a large bathroom, a dressing room, a small kitchen, and much more. I felt like a princess in thousand and one nights. Friends who saw my status photos wanted to know if I'd booked the President's Suite. The breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired, and the dinner, whether buffet or set menu, is also excellent. The entire hotel complex is very spacious, beautifully landscaped, and well-maintained. Everything was spotlessly clean. Conclusion: I highly recommend the Baraza.

We had an amazing stay at Baraza Resort and Spa. Enormously friendly staff that were helpful with everything you needed, quick response. Beautiful villa and surrounding areas. Clean and a fantastic athmosphere. The food was top of the line. A place I like to return too.

We are fortuitous enough to have stayed in some incredible hotels around the world including the Seychelles, Maldives, Thailand, USA, Hong Kong and Japan to name but a few. However, Baraza topped the lot both in terms of personal service (NOTHING is too much trouble) and facilities. The gym and full service spa are fantastic and our villa was simply stunning. Perhaps most worthy of note was the food, whether it was a buffet (which was nothing like a buffet in the usual sense … speciality food stations galore from stir fry to sushi and sashimi and never a grain of rice out of place), a la carte or table d’hote (which was never actually a ‘set menu’ as if you didn’t like the whole lobster or the alternative choice they would happily substitute for something else!), it was all incredible. Whilst desserts at most luxury hotels look stunning invariably they never taste as good as they look! At Baraza they tasted even better! We would particularly like to thank Baraza for making us feel so special without adding the usual ‘extra’ to the bill. We have regularly been offered a romantic ‘chef’s table for 2’ on the beach when staying at some gorgeous resorts, usually at an extra cost of hundreds of pounds. Not at Baraza, we were surprised at lunch time one day with exactly that which was truly fantastic and then again one evening in a candle lit location next to the pool. Both were provided free of charge and were the highlight of our stay. Well done Baraza, all of your 5 star reviews are throughly deserved. We will be back!

This place is like heaven on earth. The staff are phenomenal and attentive to your every need. The breakfast buffet is great, the dinners delicious and the activities (both free and paid) are well organised and fun. We were half board and paying for water ($3 a bottle) was the only irritating thing about this trip as the accommodation is already a) super expensive and b) wasn’t branded bottled water, rather stuff they filled in their own glass bottles. By the end of the week our group of 5 spent close to $200 on water!

We had a wonderful stay. This is the most relaxed I’ve ever been on a holiday. All of the staff were extremely pleasant, polite and helpful. Our villa and splash pool were perfect, the cleanliness every where is exceptional. The gardens are beautiful. The choice and quality of food is very very good and the rotation of restaurants works well to prevent that feeling of boredom that can happen in resorts. Having allocated sun beds with the most amazing ocean view and waiter service ensures a relaxing start to your day. The beach is long and beautiful but we didn’t feel the need to live our sun beds for long. There is lots of privacy with space between villas and sun beds adding to a sense of luxury and guarantees a relaxing stay. The house drinks were all of good quality with no need to buy any other drinks. We used the spa and had wonderful massages. I could keep going, there are no negatives!

This place is amazing. The staff are one of the best parts of it and the food was so good. It has a chill vibe - with limited people it is both relaxing and posh. The villa was out of this world - huge floorplan with a piunge pool, sitting area, massive bathroom, dedicated beach chairs. There is nothing we didn't like here and would love to come back again one day. Definitely worth the price and time to make it happen.

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.
