We (couple in our 50s) stayed for 3 nights post-safari and pre-Stonetown. This was a perfect small hotel on a beautiful beach. The rooms are spacious (although the steep stairs/ladder to the bed in the loft in our upper-level room might be a problem for some) and we enjoyed having both inside and outside private seating. Nice outdoor garden area... more

Very charming beach hotel, in local style, very atmospheric. The best rooms are upstairs ones, especially nb 6 which is their honeymoon suite, very worth it for 95 US; Just don't take one of the new rooms yet (as of summer 2008) as they still smell of concrete. VERY clean, great staff. Some problems with warm water (sometimes). more

Casa del Mar is a charming small hotel on an exquisite stretch of beach with a relaxing untouristy atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and clean with imaginative hand crafted furniture and have individual patio areas. The hotel is set in a lovely garden and screened beach area with comfortable lounge chairs and hammocks. There is no pool, but you can... more

We traveled to Zanzibar after a safari and a trip to Mt Kenya, so we where looking for a place to relax and sunbath. A friend recommended Hotel Casa Del Mar, in Jambiani, and we where not disappointed! The hotel has a friendly and calm atmosphere, and a great staff. Our room had a balcony with a sea view and... more

Last review is spot on - except its getting worse... Drains still smell dreadful, there was no hot water at all in one of the buildings and none in ours either the first night. Staff are still sullen, food isn't good - and if it isn't on the limited menu they can't do it [like frying eggs on both sides].... more

I booked 8 nights here due to all the excellent write ups on this site. Unfortunately only stayed 4. This was mainly due to the building work right outside our bedroom window, with deliverys starting as early as 4am and work 6am, not what you want on holiday. Very disappointed with the owners not advising us that this was happening... more

We have just returned from 6 glorious days at Casa del Mar in Jambiani. No one part of our experience stands out--it was entirely fantastic! From Haji (driver and thatched roof-maker extrarodinaire) greeting us at the airport to the heartfelt goodbye from Aishe (one of the owners), our stay was second to none. Rooms--the rooms were beautifully furnished with handmade... more

Casa del Mar is an exquisite refuge from the generic sea side resorts of the world. Here, instead of noisy generators running air conditioning, the quiet of the ceiling fans allows for the sound of the surf to lull you to sleep. I chose to stay in Zanzibar in order to recover from my climb of Kilimanjaro; it turned out... more

This was the best part of a very long journey to Tanzania. I loved the rest of the trip, but this topped it off in a spectacular manner. First of all, the wonderful people who own and run Casa Del Mar are so kind and sweet. They made certain that we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our... more

I have just completed my stay in Jambiani, Zanzibar. Have stayed for 4 nights at Casa Del Mar. This place is really awesome in many ways. To begin, the hotel was corresponding back & forth with me before I even step foot in ZNZ. This is a plus esp. for one who has not been to ZNZ hence may have... more
