I didn't pay attention before ordering, the online reviews are super bad, and some of the reviews have been stolen. So go out with a backpack all the way, so as not to be stolen, a word is tiring. In the actual experience, the receptionist checked in with a smile on his face. Apart from that, he didn’t have any service experience: the front desk was dull, and there was no one on duty at night except for a security guard. I got up at 4:00 in the morning to check out, and it took until 5:30 to wait until the sleepy front desk with hatred on my face to check out. I booked a twin room, one with a mosquito net and one without a mosquito net. This is the only time. There are also advantages: quiet, windy coastline, suitable for paragliding surfing.

What a beautiful place to relax body and mind, always smiling staff, wonderful spacious rooms imbedded in a garden and a huge pool to swim when there is low tide ♥️

Hotel was being renovated & has lost much of the African ambiance shown in their photos, thatched roofs are gone. Restaurant not run well with key ingredients unavailable most days, small and large drinks cost the same too and no entertainment during our stay. Paje was nice, Nungwe & Kendwa better.

Me and my children spent a week at Spice Island Hotel the first week of August before flying to Arusha for a 4 days Safari tour. The hotel is very well located on a very pretty beach in the south of the island. The service is excellent and the staff attentive to requests. The pontoon and the bar located at the end of the pontoon was very well appreciated and we had a very pleasant stay. I recommend this hotel for a quiet family stay.

This hotel was just such a great find for a special trip with my son and we could not have been happier. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean and housekeeping were always reliable. They are all mainly in a peaceful garden setting and our room was actually furthest away from reception/pool yet was still only a 2 minute walk to everywhere and it was great to walk through the garden each morning and if you are lucky in the evening you might meet the local family of monkeys which we did twice. The food is very good, consistent and hygiene standards in the kitchen are high. The pool is actually larger than in many similar hotels with beds both there and on the small private beach area. There is also a private jetty with comfy seating and a bar serving a different menu which was great. Easy access to main beach and you can easily walk to Jambiani. You can still expect sales people on the beach but due to the location not that many and they are really no bother at all. Overall this is a super peaceful location and Paje is only a 6 minute drive if you want a livelier evening. Finally the staff were all welcoming, helpful and generally just lovely. They are all very relaxed and discreet adding to the overall super chilled vibe, but if you need anything at all, it just seems to happen without delay. A final note is this hotel is very good value indeed compared to many others nearby. We wanted for nothing and cannot recommend Spice Island enough. Come, chill, be happy.

If you want the real african accomodation experience, visit them. They were courteous and warm. Great time there. Not as many surrounding attractions as up North. I got to interact with the massai men at the shore. Make sure to experience the sunrise and sunset at least once. Magnificent.

Super nice hotel directly on the beach We stayed in one of the bungalows with a double bed and an extra bed. This place has everything for a relaxed vacation and the staff is very nice and helpful. The restaurant is good with a wide selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner a la carte. Relax in a sun bed and order fruit juices or hang out on the pier at the bar. The garden and pool area is very beautiful and well kept. This area of Zanzibar is very calm and relaxed with a mix of locals, Masais and excursion bookers at the beach.
