I could not say anything bad about this resort. Perfect for couples that seek relax and isolation. Nice design hotel with superbe views, a jetti restaurant in front of the indian ocean, friendly staff, good food and price according to category. For those that want to flavour local culture obviously there might be better spots.

I’ve stayed in this hotel end of April beginning of May this year, the Hotel is very well located and the employers are normally very friendly and welcome you very well, even with some difficulties in understanding you due to language barriers (Swahili vs English or French). However, not everything it’s so good, visiting the Hotel in the low season... More

There's no much more to add to what has been said in previous comments. A great hotel, great location, great service, fabulous people. It's only fair to recognize the work of several members of the staff (I think it's a first time in my comments I do this) Swimming pool bar: Regina, Veronika, Mosses. Gabi Beach and restaurant: Betty, Suleiman,... More

The Hotel's location is amazing on the East Coast of Zanzibar, no corals on the beach and the view is amazing in addition to the huge land scape for the hotel around 43 hectares makes the experience even better. There are a lot of things to do in the hotel and the surroundings, the staff are very friendly and well... More

Excellent for relax. Everything was good, since the food, the room, service. The beach is excellent (Gabi beach) with great water in terms of temperature, color, sand, everything. The hotel offers very pleasant spaces to relax and admire the nature. It features a SPA with a very good quality. It is possible to make sport too. The service was very... More

We spent two weeks in January 2013 at the Melia on the Zanzibari East coast. The hotel is very well managed, with highly motivated staff (partly from Germany). The food was superb, in particular the indian style buffets of the nepalese-indian chef. The two Kasach/Russian musicians entertained us with classical vocal and violin pop music and were never boring even... More

We've only just left and I'm using the free wifi at Zanzibar airport (little traveller tip!) to say what an amazing time we spent at Melia. The hotel grounds are stunning. It's huge and so well landscaped with gorgeous vistas of the Indian Ocean. The food in the main restaurant and other bars/restaurants is great too with enough variety to... More

I stayed at the Melia, Zanzibar for 4 days in 2012, and I loved every moment of it. I found the service provided by my valet to be attentive but not imposing, my ocean-view (a little obscured by palm trees) suite was lovely (though I would have liked to see some furnishings on the rooftop patio which I almost felt...
