Excellent place to stay and unwind. The service was wonderful and warm. It’s worth mentioning that they always welcomed us with a smile and were willing to help. The restaurant has an incredible view of the beach, and the food is delicious and healthy. Highly recommended, and we will definitely come back.

A pure gem on the beach in Paje!!! Perfect location with the most delicious meals in Hello Capitano restaurant. Staff is always so attentive and welcoming, service is excellent, pricing is also good. The kite surfing school is right next to it. Very professional team and great shop with equipment. The hotel has an excellent selection of rooms and the design is stunning. Very spacious and comfortable, exactly as described online. Soft linen on the beds and rooms get cleaned twice a day, including spraying for bugs. An experience to remember. I had no mosquito bite for our two weeks stay, although they love me. Wi fi is of high speed and great for a work trip too. I cannot thank enough Sina from management team who has always been so helpful, kind and welcoming, making sure our stay was very pleasant. Amon from the reception area had answered numbers of questions regarding trips along the island and provided support and guidance when needed. The entire team are extremely professional, supportive, helpful and friendly. Will definitely visit again!!! Ohhh and forgot to mention how delicious their coffee is… included in your breakfast ☕️

We had a wonderfull stay here! It is a small accomodation, but very pleasant. The people are very nice and will help you when you need it. Also the room is very clean and neat. The food at the restaurant is delicious. When you walk out of the room you can step straight onto the beach!

On arrival the hotel looks lovely… once settled, the bedsheets are rough like sandpaper, the bed as hard as rock & the noise from outside is unbearable at night. Especially when the outdoor cleaners come and rake your doormat for 5 minutes straight at 5:30am EVERY MORNING, and then when the cleaner comes with the hose and hoses down all your shoes you’ve left on the door step, leaving everything wet through outside your door, again at silly o clock in the morning. And then don’t forget the mites / bugs INSIDE the bathroom door scratching and eating its way out of the door ALL night which is loud. Let’s not leave out the restaurant, offering simple dishes etc wraps, burgers & chips - very boring & bland food. And for breakfast you’re allowed to order 1 egg and 1 coffee each alongside the buffet, but no staff will to approach anyone to order eggs. It’s advertising as a lovely luxury hotel, when in reality it’s nothing like that. Would not recommended. However it’s located great on the beach.

The staff was so nice, and helpfull. We felt very welcome. The surroundings was beautiful, and so was the hotel. If I’m going back to Zanzibar Ananda hotel would be the hotel I would go to. I would say that the AC in the rooms we stayed in wasn’t working at all times. But the staff was nice to help with it.

We stayed at Anada Hotel for 7 nights in two bungalows with my family, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel at home with their warmth and care. The reception and housekeeping teams were all incredibly attentive, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. The food at Capitano Restaurant was outstanding—every dish was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. One of the most memorable parts of our stay was meeting a wonderful Masai family on the beach. Our daughter formed a special bond with their son, and it truly made our experience even more magical. We felt completely at ease during our time here and left with cherished memories. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Ananda is such a gem, the perfect place for my stay in Zanzibar. The staff were delightful, my room was gorgeous and the restaurant was the envy of every other person in our group. Thanks to Mariam in particular for being so welcoming. Would fully recommend to anyone. It’s a dry hotel, which I found refreshing on the trip (alcohol served in most other nearby restaurants), and the small huts and beach vibes were immaculate. Particularly loved being visited by Colobus monkeys while reading by the pool, and I will miss the cats so much!!
