Large full service resort a decent distance out of Zanzibar with large grounds and a private beach! Very relaxing rooms and amenities after a long safari. The pool is beautiful and overlooks the beach and turquoise waters of the Zanzibar channel. Caution - the hotel is a 45 minute ride from the airport and a good 30 minutes from Stone... More

The resort opened in November 2010. It is beautiful and has amazing amenities for adults and kids. The only downside is that it does not have beach where you can walk right into the ocean. There are 16 Deluxe rooms have sea view, tub, iron, and robes + 80 Superior rooms have sea view + 24 garden rooms have garden... More

A great place to relax by the pool but if you want a beach then look elsewhere. The food is good but limited if you are vegetarian. However, the chef makes a great effort if you arrange it in advance & will come to see you at your table if requested. Breakfast is a la carte so can be delayed... More

We booked this hotel for a relaxing weekend away from Dar, as we are europeans living in Dar our expectations were not high but neither was the service, for a luxury hotel the food was not up to the standard of a road side take away, the location, views, facilities were good, but that was it. I would advise before... More

We are a Family of Four from South Africa that had a 9 day holiday at the resort. The resort is on the west side of the island and quite central to all activities offered on the island. As all the other reviews the coffee served is not very good, there was no proper beach and only a man-made beach... More

The Sea Cliff was one of those resorts that I can say was a top star resort! The hotel is beautiful, rooms sufficiently spacious and the pool area immaculate at all times. The service was out of the top draw. Special thank you to Lameck, who became our friend very quickly! Amazing sun sets sipping cocktails at the jetty where... More

The grounds are gorgeous. A tropical plant specialist must have designed the landscaping. So many beautiful flowering plants, hedges and bushes. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are so helpful and gracious. The spa was excellent. The location of the resort is a quick 30 minutes north of Stonetown.
