Very overrated and not that good. The lodges themselves are finished in very dark style which with the dim lighting and high trees outside makes them seem very dark and oppressive inside with the dark floors, dark ceilings, dark furniture and dark everything. Even though the resort seems only about ten years old it would seem very much more dated... more

My husband and I spent a weekend at Zimbali Lodge In early April 2009 as part work and part leisure. It was an incentive package to introduce people to their private residence club, and was a two night stay, with breakfast, and airport transfers included. We landed on a Friday, and were picked up in a chauffeured vehicle to be... more

I recently stayed at the Zimbali Lodge for just over 2 weeks. It's a beautiful secluded property with two gates you have to go through to get to it.

Beautiful golf course, beautiful lodge and pool area and awesome pool area down by the beach. The beach... more

We loved this hotel and loved the service! have no idea how those who posted before had bad service but I am starting to learn that the bigger a jerk you are the poorer service you get. That being said, we are super happy and friendly people and LOVED our stay there! We were there for a wedding and I... more

Zimbali Lodge consists of a string of semi-detached suites (the "hotel"), and then an entire golf estate of houses scattered on hillsides. The setting is beautiful, the hotel had a freshwater pool and then 3 saltwater pools right next to the beach (which was closed), lovely restaurant, and great staff once the check-in process was complete. Prior to check-in however,... more
