My husband and I stayed here for five nights following our safari in Kenya, and I was so glad we chose this hotel. The rooms are huge, we had two balconies - one with a day bed - and the bathroom was fabulous. Being low season we were expecting a little rain, and boy when it did rain it was... More

All inclusive made it fantastic. The ocean water is so clear and great We went for our anniversary and they went out of their way to make... More

The setting is stunning, the rooms are beautiful, the beach is exquisite but the food in the diningroom is dreadful - unimaginative, dried out and COLD! The kitchen staff are slow and disorganised, and that extends to the ex-pats among them hacking off chunks of meat instead of carving! I was disgusted to see a member of the kitchen staff... More

The resort is pricey but a paradise. It is 50kms from the airport and hence 1 hour away by car and $50 one way taxi charge. Its all inclusive which includes some drinks and all food. They will tell you at the bar which drink is not included. The rooms and bathrooms are huge with all amenities. The facilities on... More

What a stunnig Place. We like going to Zanzibar, but I must admit this was the best time we've had. Nungwi is definetly the most beautiful part of the island. There was fun things for the kids, big and small to do. Entertainment every night. We had a ball! Can't wait to go there again.

This review has been a long time coming for which we apologise! Like many of the other reviewers we were a little wary of some of the other comments for the hotel as we were travelling with other members of our family who had agreed to witness our wedding in paradise! We arrived on boxing day 2010 for a ten... More

Though the resort is in a very good location and is well made with excellent landscaped garden and large swimming pools its the other aspects which it mails miserably in, the food is pathetic, prepared from low quality ingredients, flies in the dining area, unhygienic, chefs roam about in dirty uniforms, choice is limited, though they boast of a specialty...

My Husband and I visited The Royal Zanzibar for a ten Day Trip for our Honeymoon. What a beautiful place Zanzibar is. After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor I was a little dubious, but let me assure you there is nothing to worry about. From the moment we stepped foot into the resort we were treated like royalty.
