We had the pleasure of spending a week at Mapenzi and what a wonderful place to be. The staff are amazing and the "all inclusive" package is realy good value for money. I would recommend this holiday to anyone. What really made it superb was the fact that besides eating, swimming, relaxing and sipping cocktails all day you also get... More

My two friends and I went to Zanzibar for the first time and chose to stay at Mapenzi. We stayed for ten days and this is highly recommended as it gives the opportunity to find a balance between relaxing and doing a few excursions. Mapenzi? All i can say is "wow!". Everything here is fantastic - from the attention to... More

We have just had a wonderful holiday at Sandies Mapenzi Beach Club - all inclusive. There was a variety of food, variety of drinks & cocktails. There were lots of things to do such as water aerobics, stretching, group dance, volley ball, variety shows, acrobatic show, archery, canoeing. Everyday we were given fresh flowers from the garden. The employees would... More

We were unhappy with the charlet on arival- the bed made the most aganying noises (what do you expect from a honeymoon resort haha) and the balcony door could... More

We recently spent a week at Sandies Mapenzi in Zanzibar and I have nothing but great things to report. The staff went out of their way to ensure that we were always happy. The gardeners greeted you with flowers for your room in the mornings, the reception staff were very helpful, the bar staff and waiters in the restaurant very... More

Well, we have wanted to go to Zanzibar for quite some time, and this year we finally did it! We chose Mapenzi Beach because it seemed the best value with Fully Inclusive, and because it was only 3 star, did not expect too much! Big mistake, Mapenzi is great and really a fantastic supprise! The rooms are spotless and a... More

Foglalás: 2010. január. Hát csakúgy mint mindig az utolsó pillanatban értem haza Írországból a munkahelyemről 2010.01.09.-én már előtte figyeltem az interneten különböző oldalakon hogy hova is szeretnénk utazni. Kenya volt tervbe véve. Egyszer csak fennakad a szemem egy hirdetésen amit az aeroviva tett fel: Zanzibár egyet fizet kettőt kap akció! Először azt gondoltam hogy ez is csak valami féle átverés...

We were in awe, the moment we walked into the reception area. The decor is simply amazing! Traditional Zanzibar wood work but with a slight modern twist to it. The common building which has the reception, dining area, two gift shops, stage area and basic entertainment for guests are well done. Everything in one area but spread out enough so... More

We only just returned from Zanzibar yesterday, so the memory still is fresh. It was our first "all inclusive" experience and it was a very pleasant one. Great seafront bungalows with the ocean at your feet (at least with high tide), a service that I would like to have at home. Who does not like the buffet 3 x a... More

The Mapenzi beach club is all you could ever need from a beach resort. Clean, grerat staff, frsh food, sourced locally where possible. The guys at the watersprts centre couldn't be nicer. I just don't have anyrthing bad to say about this place. Even the the two guys in African dress, singing Lionel Richie songs, won me over by the... More
