Just arrived home after a wonderful stay at the Zanzibar. My 2 sisters and I took our mum on her first flight and also first trip to QLD. After booking the resort and then reading the reviews I was a little concerned as we were wanting something special for our mum, but the place was perfect. We had a 3... more

I stayed in unit 702 and booked through GQ Property mooloolaba - through their www.accommooloolaba.com.au website - and had a great weekend. I booked through GQ because you could see the unit you booked and lucky for me because when I arrived I was told that there was a brand new king sized bed in the unit. Very comfortable and... more

We stayed at the Zanzibar the weekend 6-8 June and had an absolutely fabulous stay. We booked through Wotif.com and only after booking did we happen across the reviews on this page - needless to say I was worried about what we were letting ourselves in for. On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly and helpful receptionist, and... more

The only reason we didn't ask for another room is that we figured they would all be the same. The balconies are nice and big, but unfortunately filthy like the rest of the room. The windows look like they haven't been cleaned in months. We opened the fridge and a cockroach jumped out. We opened the dishwasher and a cockroach... more

I recently stayed at Zanzibar with my partner and some friends for a weekend treat....and what a treat it was! We booked through GQ Properties at Mooloolaba because you can view and choose rooms by looking on their online site. I would definitely recommend doing that rather than turning up and taking the chance on what room you get, because... more

Upon arrival to Zanzibar the carpert in the $400+/night penthouse was discusting and dirty and threadbare!!. The walls havent seen paint in 10 years with dirty marks and chips everywhere!. The phone kept ringing until all hours of the night with people asking for reception there was a fault with it. The aircon kept cutting out during the night leaving... more

Zanzibar is located in the heart of Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. We stayed on the sixth floor, and the views from Noosa to Point Cartwright were just astounding. Although the weather was perfect, even if it had been raining, the balcony was well situated and you could easily sit out on it during a storm and watch the lightning... more

I wish we'd checked Trip Advisor before booking here. Be warned - all the bad reports listed here are true and accurate. We were completely ripped off too. We were shocked that the Zanzibar could have a 4 star rating. It should be a 1 star. It was in a very sorry state. Not worth a cent of the money... more

After reading the reviews after I booked the Zanzibar we were very leary about staying at the Zanzibar. We were really greatly surprised at the wonderful apartment, wonderful desk help and the great location. My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased and we travel quite extensively around the world and have stayed in many hotels and apartments. We... more

Zanzibar Accommodation is no where near 4 star. From stained bed linen, stained carpets, cracked crockery, little or no suitable cooking utensils this accommodation is old tired and in worse shape than the average cheap motel. Outside furniture on balcony (see pictures) gives a good insight into the quality of this accommodation. Outside barbecue area don’t seem to be serviced,... more
