The rooms are arranged around a small private garden. We tried 2 different types of rooms: the upper level and the lower level. The upper level room was spacious, on two levels (bedroom right under the thatched roof and lounge area/bathroom on the first level with private balcony). The lower level (cheaper) is on the ground floor and is smaller,... more

All the very positive reviews about this place are correct. This is a lovely resort: relaxed, amazing beach, gorgeous pool, terrific restaurant, and a very charming village (be sure to have a meal at the original Kim's: have the legendary fish samosas). However, our room was truly miserable, and that made a big difference to our stay. The hotel has... more

We stayed for 5 nights at Casa del Mar in Jambiani and considered it a very good choice. The rooms are spacious and clean, and are equipped with rather simple but very nice furniture from wood and other materials giving it a traditional style. The high roof made from palm-leaves enables the air to pass through, which enables good aeration... more

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
