Expect to get really poor service at the Z hotel. We waited an hour an 20 minutes for starters which came out with part of the ingredients missing. Actually when we sat down the waitress listed a handful of dishes that were not available....particularly the seafood dishes. And the 'tapas' menu is not really tapas its just a small number... more

On the up side -The staff are very friendly. The hotel is located on the North of the island and the beach is the best part. It is very relaxing with the least amount of stress. The food quality was average. On the down side I would not classify this as a five star resort. The rooms were cleaned daily... more

The Z Hotel is a vision of delight. Very tiny space to include all they have....... tropical garden,haha swimming pool, with decking and cocktail bar, 2 restaurants, thatched library.Very compact. We were lucky enough to revel under our thatched roof in a huge suite with flamingos on the wall paper, a terrace for the sunsets and another one for breakfasts... more

My cousin and his fiance chose the Z-hotel as the venue for their wedding so me and a friend decided to go for an extended holiday 2 weeks prior to the big day. Although we traveled at a time when the whole island had no power we would have never noticed. The hotel is beautiful with amazing views of the... more

From the minute we arrived at reception (to a cool drink and warm welcome from the staff) to our departure (which was a complete wrench!) we had a lovely, relaxing and enjoyable time at the Z hotel. The poolside area is gorgeous, perfect for cocktails and watching the beautiful sunsets, the rooms are tastefully decorated - I particularly liked the... more

We stayed at the Z in the summer and had such a good time we came back for some winter sun. The staff were not only as helpful, and friendly as we remembered but they actually remembered our names! We were greeted by the General Manager like long lost family and all of the staff went out of their way... more

I have moved to Z hotel after spending few nights in Langi langi which is rated a bit lower then Z hotel but after my stay in Z hotel I can say that the difference is huge. The room standard, restaurant, location, garden swiming pool are on very high standard but what the most important is the service!!!!! People working... more

I don't know what more they could have done for us if we were sultans ourselves. Our vacation there could not have been more perfect. Let me begin by raving about the amazing attentative and friendly staff. They were so gracious and helpful that we could have stayed in a mud hut - which this place is not - and... more

Unbelievable combination of first class service, food and cleanliness in the most beautiful spot along the African coast. Plenty to do if you fancy activities or plenty to enjoy if you fancy R&R by the pool or on the fine white sand. more
