After a aweful and pathetic experience in one of the resorts in Zanzibar (My review about Zanzibar Beach Resort), a taxi drover recommended our stay at this resort. Great, this was no mistake. It was somewhat expensive. but we enjoyed paying every bit of the penny for service what we received in this hotel. The drive to this hotel will... more

We have just returned from an absolutely fabulous 15 day holiday at Bluebay Beach and we can honestly say that we experienced one of our most restful and enjoyable overseas holidays; due, in equal measures, to the amazingly beautiful location and the phenomenal level of service from all of the hotel staff. We were treated like VIP's from start to... more

I am Kenyan so I know first hand that service doesnt come naturally to my fellow East Africans but it ill behoves the owners of a 5 star hotel to not train its staff to the highest levels and demand nothing short of excellent service. Examples: - being offered a table politely but at the far end of the room... more

We stayed here for a week at the end of May through Virgin Holidays which was offering a free room upgrade to the superior room (rather than a garden room). I'm glad we did have this as the garden rooms looked pokey and the superier room wasn't what I would personally call superior, but it was spacious enough with a... more

Having been upgraded from their sister hotel The Sultan Sands I did not know what to expect. The hotel reception staff were extremely polite and helpful as were all the restaurant and bar staff who were very friendly and cheerful throughout our 5 night stay. Nothing was too much trouble and we all felt very well looked after. The rooms... more

Very nice & simple hotel. Swimming pool is good. The hotel is looking over a wonderful sandy beach. Our booking was half board, so we had our dinner at the open BF restaurant. The food was excellent with good wine selection. People in general were very friendly and helpful in the hotel which made us feel at home. The draw... more

Great place. Good food. The beach is just wonderful. The same style of resort one can find on the Kenyan coast, but the beach and its villages just makes the difference. Kids loved the swimming pool, beach and the pool tables. A bit more Zanzibar island character of the resort, instead of the typical resort style similar to the ones... more

A good hotel located on a paradise beach with view across the azure blue sea, if a resort hotel is your thing then the Bluebay will be ideal. The rooms and grounds are excellent, the buffet nights very good however, the table d'hote menu was poor. Fortunately we only had the set dinner three nights out of the eight. Bar... more

Stayed here for 3 nights in February. Absolutely gorgeous setting. Very relaxing place. Staff were very attentive, friendly, and always greeted us with smiles. Food was terrific. The Italian night buffet and the Swahili night buffet were superb. Really enjoyable evening dinner entertainment. Very romantic setting! more

Myself and a few other guests had heard a few bad reviews so i have decided to set the record straight!

Thats the only problem...I... more
