The Sands Beach Resort

The Sands Beach Resort

📍 Pingwe Village Rd, Dongwe
★★★★ 9.0 (77 reviews)

"Right from the time we stepped in, everything about the hotel was perfect. The rooms, the food, the ambience, the private pool and especially, the private beach. However, like I said, from the time we stepped in. Work is ongoing on the approach and main road, that should be completed fast so that more people may go and enjoy the experience!"

Baraza Resort and Spa Zanzibar

Baraza Resort and Spa Zanzibar

📍 Bwejuu Beach South East Coast Paje Michamvi Road, Dongwe
★★★★★ 9.7 (59 reviews)

"We had great 5 days at the Baraza Zanzibar Resort. Friendly staff, extremely good food, nice property, a clean room (or more a villa). The location is great for anything like honeymoon or like we did, just hang loose and relax after the intense experience of a safari, spotting the big 5. Although it was only 5 days, it felt we were there 2 weeks."

Ocean Boutique Hotel

Ocean Boutique Hotel

📍 Zanzibar, Dongwe
★★★ 9.6 (46 reviews)

"We stayed at Ocean and was like in paradise. A perfect oasis of calm. The peaceful atmosphere is truly unmatched, from the quiet beach and pool area to the serene dining area, overlooking the beach and the ocean with local fishermen's boat view. The staff made us feel right at home, and whether we needed a fresh towel or a drink they were always there with genuine friendliness. If you are looking for a place to relax and recharge, away from the hustle abd bustle, thisi is it. A week felt like the bare minimum to fully appreciate the change of pace this fabulus place offers."

Hotel Club Dongwe

Hotel Club Dongwe

📍 RG9H+6W6, Dongwe
★★★ 9.6 (40 reviews)

"Our stay at this resort was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all expectations. Even though the weather wasn’t the best during our visit, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. We treated ourselves to a fantastic massage at the spa, which was incredibly relaxing and professionally done. It was exactly what we needed to unwind and disconnect. On top of that, the entertainment team did an amazing job organizing a variety of tournaments and activities throughout the day, keeping the atmosphere lively and engaging despite the rain. What truly makes this resort special is its ability to combine comfort and relaxation with an authentic African atmosphere. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway while still wanting to immerse themselves in a setting that reflects genuine African authenticity. We would definitely come back!"

Baraza Resort and Spa Zanzibar ★★★★★
"We stayed at Baraza resort & Spa for 5 nights following a Rwanda and Uganda wildlife focused trip. It was the most perfect stay, the main focus on our trip was wildlife viewing so the time in Zanzibar and our hotel choice received less focus, but we couldn’t have been happier. We stayed in an ocean front villa (No.7) with direct access to the beach and our own private pool. The villa was amazing and spacious in Arabic influence, a theme consistent throughout the resort. The aircon was amazing, the various lounge areas, inside and out were appreciated and used. The bed was so comfortable and fully stocked mini bar with various complementary drinks refreshed each day. Our arrival was approx 10pm and two trays of snacks, fresh fruit, sandwiches were in our Villa waiting for our arrival. Very minor point, the loungers in the Villa could have been a tad more comfortable, but that’s a minor issue really. The toiletries, whilst they were in refillable bottles, we found them really good quality. On the beach there were two reserved sun loungers that we used on many days, with full service even though we were towards the end of the hotel beach grounds, we were never forgotten and within 5 minutes of settling down, water, drinks and any snacks we wanted were available. The service was amazing throughout and very personalised whilst not being intrusive, Ester the food and beverage manager was a star, she always knew everything you had eaten, to genuinely check that you was pleased with the quality and service, even with our extensive travels. The food, we are not buffet people, so when the hotel had à la carte and buffet alternate evenings we were a little dubious. But honestly there was no need, the buffet is not like an average buffet, the food choices / options / live cooking stations, the fresh ingredients were just spot on. You could 100% tell the quality of the food, the service was amazing. The gala dinner was spectacular and then we were invited to lunch on the beach, we were presented with a special seafood menu in the most perfect setting, it was so romantic and perfect, really it was one of the best meals we have ever had….. The grounds were immaculate throughout and the main pool was beautiful, the cocktails, snacks, afternoon tea, we really couldn’t fault a single thing. Thank you Bazara for a faultless stay, it was a memorable end to our adventures, you all do an exceptional job and that is what really does make this one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed……"

Ocean Boutique Hotel ★★★
"Ocean Boutique Hotel was the perfect spot for our couples' getaway. The beachfront pool and terrace views are stunning! We loved the peace and quiet, both in the hotel and surrounding area. The food was irresistible - I definitely overindulged. Watching the tides change daily was mesmerizing, revealing new colors and allowing for long walks to the reef. Paje is just a short drive away if you want nightlife, but we rarely felt the need to leave. The tranquility at Ocean was too good to give up. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with a touch of luxury, this is it. We're already planning our return!"

The Palms Zanzibar ★★★★★
"Beautiful location, people and an outstanding quality of accommodation, food and service. The Palms is a wonderful place. It was my husband’s birthday whilst we were there; and the staff made it very special, without me asking for anything! The food is some of the best we’ve ever had. The staff, without exception were engaging, friendly, approachable, funny and professional. The quality of leadership is visible in everything. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable holiday. We wish you all well."
