Tamarind is an amazing little place on a fantastic stretch of beach. The staff is great and food tasty, but rooms could use a sprucing up. Great deal, service and pool! A great place to relax for a weekend or week!

This was our first trip to beautiful Zanzibar but hopefully not the last! The location of Tamarind is excellent - on the east coast of the island, away from the hustle and bustle of Zanzibar Town and Stone Town. The beach is spectacular - white sands, turquoise water warm as a bath. The resort is low-key and very friendly for... More

First the positives - this is a well laid-out small hotel fronting a superb clean and quiet beach. The pool is good and the restaurant is fine (even in low season you can get a reasonable selection of meals). In addition, the room rates are pretty reasonable. Accommodation is in neat, well spaced-out semi-detached bungalows. Potentially excellent, but the rooms... More

This is the third time we come to this hotel and we will keep coming back! We stayed on this last trip for 9 days. Our previous trips have been for 10-14 days each. The beach at Tamarind Hotel is incredible. The water is crystal clear. Clean, fine white sand, hardly any algae, the water is warm, not too salty,... More

We spent just over a week staying at the Tamarind Beach Hotel on Uroa Beach. The beach is heavenly - clear warm water, white sands, friendly locals, quiet & peaceful. The service and meals were excellent. The rooms were basic but comfortable. Great place for a budget holiday. PS: I would recommend taking your own insect spray and/or mosquito coils... More

We have been coming to this hotel for our family holidays for 8 years now and we always have a fantastic time. The rooms are basic but great (the fans are appreciated on the hotter nights), the staff very friendly and accommodating and remember our boys each time we return, and visa versa. We all enjoyed the food, drinks, pool... More

Sketchy manager, dirty linen, dusty and useless mosquito nets and very musty room. This is such a shame since it has the nicest strip of beach in Uroa. The only saving grace was the food at the restaurant.

There is no AC and the fans are dirty! There are a million mosquitos! Thr menu is very limited although the fish was nice. The breakfast was... More

We have spend 5 lovely days in the Tamarind Beach Hotel with our 2 boys. The cottages may be simple, but for us they were perfect. Situated along a beautiful and quiet beach, with a cosy veranda facing the ocean... the beds are good, the bathroom may be simple to European standards, but you really cannot expect luxurious things for...

I would like to agree with the person saying the rooms are filthy. My husband and I had heard about this place before our first arrival to Zanzibar. Due to their prices and location in Uroa, we decided to book three nights. Thanks God we didn't have to pay before we checked out. As soon as we arrived we decided... More
