MELIÁ Zanzibar

This Adults only part of Melia Zanzibar was amazing. Fahad at the pool was the most friendly attentive host! We really enjoyed our days at the pool with him! The rooms were incredible and the slippers so comfy! Only one bad experience at the bar and the Jetty restaurant … we were charged an exorbitant amount for a cocktail and an entre ( we had an all inclusive package, but they were not upfront about the up sale) we did bring it up to management Ashwala and she said she would look into it and correct it, but that never happened… so that did leave some disappointed to an otherwise great end to our African trip.

It’s been a week since we returned from Hotel Melia, and we already know we’ll definitely be coming back! It is the best place to relax and connect with nature. The hotel is perfect for those who want to escape to a place of pure relaxation. It is located right by the water. The hotel has many walking paths and areas for observing wildlife, such as: land turtles, donkeys, monkeys, and many others. Everyone can find their own spot, whether it’s by the pool with an ocean view or on the beach. The hotel offers 4 restaurants (one main one and 3 scattered throughout the hotel). The food was most delicious at the Jetty restaurant with a view of the ocean, but each restaurant offered great food. Everyone can find something to enjoy. I think the smallest selection was at breakfast, but as I mentioned, there is something for everyone :) From this trip, I remember two people who made me feel at home: the waitress Bahiti, who from day one showed warmth and kindness, always helpful and smiling, and a huge thanks to Prosper from Guest Experience. There wasn’t a day when he didn’t stop to chat with me and my partner. When we had issues with our room, he tried to resolve the problem and was always helpful, asking how he could assist. He is a person who did everything with passion and always had a smile on his face. The only issue I had was with the room we stayed in. At night, there was noise, making it impossible to sleep, and the decor was outdated with many things breaking down. From the very beginning, we struggled with night-time noise (unfortunately, we never figured out the cause). It sounded like construction work. After our second complaint, we were offered a room change, but by then it was the end of our stay, and we consciously decided not to move. Nevertheless, the hotel is worth recommending, and despite the shortcomings, the views and the people made us want to come back again :)

Very good location, service and rooms. We enjoyed the lovely scenery and lovely staff. The only thing that could have been bettrr is the food, for a premium price we paid we expect premium and more variety on the buffet. More exotic fruit, more fish options , better dessert, ice cream... But overall experiemce was great.

Visiting with family. Great resort, helpful and genuine management, many things to do with the family but it's also just nice to stay in the resort. We had a rough start of our vacation but greatly accommodated by the resort for what we are very thankful.

My experience with this hotel was incredibly positive ( I've been here nine and still maintains the level) . The cleanliness and attention to every aspect at the highest level immediately caught the eye, from the lobby and the entire main building (shisha zone, shops, indoor pool, bar, games zone e.g. billiards, etc.), including SPICE MARKET, clean, comfortable, with the possibility of eating outside (two zones for non-smokers and smokers would be useful), full of various delicacies, but practically unchanged, but able to satisfy with their dishes everyone will find something for themselves. TAMU resturant ....SUPER food it's a pity that guests avoid it because it's worth eating here, maybe it should be promoted in some way life cooking ?? Happy hours? Through the gardens, which were raked and pampered daily, the sounds of frogs give a unique atmosphere. Further on, there is a beautiful, very large, irregularly shaped swimming pool with a cascade, numerous sun loungers with umbrellas, there is also a bar, in the evenings once a week a disco, everything is neat, clean, but the bar needs renovation, but as the hotel manager Mr. Vikram Cheekoory,( you can clearly see that he is very, very engaged) I met several times a day, explained to me, you can see that he pays attention to quality and guests at every step (thanks a lot for showing, some of the rooms after renovation are beautiful, comfortable and deserve 5 *) part of the facility will be renovated from May 2025. The beach, it is vast, clean, cleaned every day, fully functional sunbeds. Still, here a SMALL MINUS the sunbeds cover the entire area, because part of the beach is for LEVEL guests (I fully understand and respect that LEVEL guests must have their own area and there should definitely be no other guests there). Still, such a large number of sunbeds on the MELIA side does not provide comfortable rest, the sunbeds are too close to each other, a big plus is CHILI music in the background, but if there are sunbeds with guests talking loudly, the spell of rest is broken and this causes great discomfort, as well as smoking cigarettes or cigars next to it is not comfortable for others.L A larger zone should be created with a greater distance between the sunbeds. Plus there is a zone for games, e.g. volleyball, board games and cards. The rooms do not disappoint with their size or hygiene, as well as their general condition, which is at a decent level, cleaned really regularly and moreover carefully. An interesting solution, separate areas of houses/rooms with their own pools with plants and frogs, beautifully lit sidewalks pleasantly surprise and add to the atmosphere. What must be emphasized is the incredible work of the entire team! Incredibly full of energy evening performances, who try in many ways to make everyone's time more pleasant (big thanks to CX Ana María Walls Gómez). Waiters, cooks, gardeners, cleaners, service people, who despite being tired always with a smile on their fa

We had a fantastic time at the Meliá Zanzibar! The room and resort were absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and an incredibly welcoming atmosphere. The staff were genuinely kind, making our stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the pool was a bit too cold, and swimming in the ocean wasn’t the easiest. But overall, it was a wonderful experience!
