Incredible place! We had the deluxe suite with view of the ocean. The room was large well furnished, beautifully decorated. Food was really tasty ( especially for the fish!). Staff is remarkable, kind and discret. Massages from the Spa are really efficient , with a good combo price/quality. Go ahead. You simply cannot be disappointed.

We had a fabulous stay at Marafiki Beach hotel! The entire hotel area was very peaceful and calm. Lots of comfortable seating arrangements in the pool area. The rooms were simply but tastefully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and there was lots of space to hang and store cothes. We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant on all days. There was a good selection of dishes and plenty of vergetarian options. The food was excellent. We also enjoyed cocktails a few evenings at the charmingly decorated beach bar next door. We booked some treatments at the spa and it was fantastic. The location is great facing the sea and the massage therapist Happiness was very skilled! Highly recommentd. The hotel also arranged transportation for us at competitive rates. The highlight of the hotel was the wonderful staff. They were always very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone from the cleaning ladies to the reception staff and the restaurant and bar personnel were smiling and helpful. Their friendliness and thoughtfulness really made our stay special. We look forward to visiting Zanzibar and staying at Marafiki beach hotel again.

I stayed here recently during a visit to Zanzibar. What can I say .......... the location is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and airy, the food is lovely, the staff are friendly and the spa treatments are top class. The pool is perfect when the tide is too far out to swim in the sea. The sand is white and the loungers are comfortable.
