“It was an excellent cooperation with all the management to organize our group of 200 pax!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

It is not easy to manage group of 200 pax in hotel. The management and all the staff did a very good job to organize our group in the best way. Also special events on the beach as Welcome and Galla dinner were well done, with very professional organization, table set up, food etc. We didn't had any complains against the service offered by hotel during our 10 days.
So, if U need to organize a group in beautiful place and be sure to have professional partner, I can suggest you Dream Of Zanzibar with the professional Plan hotel management!

Room Tip: All the rooms are ok.

“Island paradise.....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

I spent a glorious weekend in this paradise getaway and the time was just too short. Friendly staff attended to my every wish and from the reception to the the bar area to the passages I was always greeted with a smile and a friendly greeting. The food was tasty and the variety left me standing staring at all the options, not sure if I should take all of it!!! You have to try the risotto at the Italian restaurant.... the best I have tasted in a long time.
The perfect setting with the perfect people made this a trip one that I wont forget easily......

“What an amazing trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

On arrival at Diamonds Dream of Zanzibar we were greeted at reception with a cold towel, an even colder refreshing beverage and a warm smile from the staff! This was the perfect start to what was an amazing trip!

We were then escorted to our rooms which were immaculate and shown to the area for the main restaurant where many meals would be enjoyed. There are a selection of restaurants but we found that the main restaurant had a good variety of food so we did not venture to the other restaurants. The service from all the hotel staff was friendly, speedy and conscientious and they all spoke English so communication was not a problem (and we even picked up some Swahili during our trip).

On the first night we were treated to a pool party with a local band playing universal popular hit songs. As guests we were all encouraged to sing along and to get up and dance. Which proved to be great fun!

And that was just the first day! The rest of the trip proved to be just as much (if not more fun) - it included long walks on the breathtaking beaches, interacting with the friendly locals, enjoying the amenities of the hotel (including a thai full body massage at the spa), a spice tour and tour of Stone Town, a day at the Kizimkazi Dolphin Village swimming with dolphins, a cultural night organised by the hotel to showcase the massai cuture and traditions, "waikiki" (a beach party) and enjoying the all-inclusive package including all the passion fruit mojitos we could handle!

The only bad thing was that occasionally the electricty supply would go down but this was not a problem at all because within 2 minutes of it going down the generator would kick in. That's a very small down on an otherwise AMAZING trip! I have already recommended this hotel to all my friends and family.

I have another trip planned to this mystical island! And once again I will definitely be staying at Diamonds Dream of Zanzibar! What an amazing trip!

“Absolute Relaxing Holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

I visited Dreams in June 2012, the experience was absolutely 1 st class, from the airport pick-up all the way through to the very last day. The staff will go out of their way to make you feel at home and they cater to your every need !

The attention to detail was noticeable - not a thing out of place ! I found the beach / pool area to be my favorite where most of my time was spent :-)

There is enough restaurants to choose from and the food in all of them was outstanding.

I will highly recommend this resort ! Truly one of my better holidays (and I have been to Zanzibar a couple of times)

Safe travels and enjoy the sun :-)
