    Paradise getaway
    I spent 7 magical nights at Zuri and loved every second. The private beach and lush gardens are breathtakingly beautiful and I spent most of my days relaxing under the palm trees, sipping coconuts and cocktails from their extensive bar menu. This is the part of the island where you want to be for picturesque beaches. The resort boasts 3 restaurants so you will not run out of food options and every night they have entertainment on the beach. If you want to venture out, you can take a 15min walk to many restaurants and bars. Every staff member I encountered was delightful and eager to help. My room was luxurious and spacious. I would highly recommend a visit. The staff was very hospitable and every staff member I encountered were delightful and eager to help.
    Dear Megan, We are glad you chose Zuri for your holiday and are delighted that we made your stay with us magical and memorable. Our entire team will be glad to read that they exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed all that Zuri offered. We look forward to having you stay with us again in the near future.

    TOP RESORT IN ZANZIBAR
    Last year, David, the prior GM who made the opening, introduced ZURI here in this amazing resort. Our experience is definitely above expectation. The wood suites with traditional Western African roofs are sorrounded by lush vegetation, comprising palms, banana trees and ibiscus. The roof covers also the external terrace with parquet floor directly accessible through two big sliding glass doors. An hammock and two roof colonial fans is awaiting for you to enjoy the ocean view. See my photos. Spacious modern bathroom with separate bathtube and shower. The taps are all friendly. There is an external shower and a private jacuzzi in the jungle, visible from the terrace. The living room has an high roof and two fans with a powerful air conditioning system. Beside the regular frigidaire, there is a separate wine cellar. The electric appliances, like water boiler or TV screens (2) have been hidden with aesthetic camouflage and intelligent solutions. The bed room has good litterie and pillows. It ha gotten also a sophisticated air conditioning system which we recommend to disactivate, being too effective. The service is efficient with smiling, providing evidences that training is performed regularly and effectively. Boeing the resort located in a slope, from the main entrance-reception to the beach, the personnel must have strong calf muscles. The beach is very large with a private part for VIP. The guards are very effective to keep non- resident away. The pool is heated with a large area for bedchairs and a stunning view of the ocean. In the 3 restaurants the quality of food is very high and kept constant during our staying (15 days). ZURI has definitely set a benchmark in the island and we believe it will be very hard to overcome. G&B. Novelli, Geneva, Switzerland.
    Dear Mr & Mrs Novelli, To have you stay with us successively for the second time is a great privilege. Thank you again for your vote of confidence and loyalty and especially, for taking a moment to acknowledge your appreciation so far. It is our wish that you know we are not taking your confidence granted and that you continue enjoying your holiday in fullness. The Management and Staff of Zuri will be pleased to make one more difference this second visit. However small we are happy to ensure your comfort. On behalf of Zuri I wish you joy in your continued vacation.

    When a hotel sets the bar extremely high and when a F&B Manager becomes the highlight of your stay! (Wonderful ROMANY)
    This hotel is a true luxury in all it's forms. But the kind of luxury that still feels very personalized and unique to you. While every detail in this hotel is beyond excellent from being located in the best location on the island, to the design, cleanness, to the luxurious rooms you get to stay in, it really is the very personalized experience that makes staying here feels like you have made the best choice! However, the staff of this hotel are the true treasure; They say it's the people that give any place a real soul, no matter how amazing the place is and Zuri doesn't fall short of that. The best staff that will feel like family after the first day, an INCREDIBLE chef that takes you on a magical fine dinning journey everyday with the different dishes and cuisines served (I seriously looked forward to what I will be having every night for dinner) but the highlight for me was an amazing man called "Romany" who is the F&B manager but his role definitely didn't stop there. He is the one who made us feel right at home, went above and beyond to make sure that any of our crazy requirements are met and he just NEVER stops smiling, although I see him working more than 12 hours a day! Don't forget to ask for him, he will make your stay better, I promise! xx
    Dear Nancy. This is such a wonderful review. Thank you for sharing with us such a beautiful lovely experience. You make us really proud, thank you. Happy Easter Greetings from Zuri!

We had a fantastic week at Zuri. The whole experience from start to finish was great. We arrived late with some missing luggage thanks to a not very precise airline. The staff at Zuri photocopied my form and chased my bag for me which turned up a day later. Rooms were spacious well though out and very comfortable. The gardens, paths and poolside were all beautiful. My favourite area was the beech area lovely views, lots of sunbeds and lounging areas good mixture of shade and sun with the added bonus of sunsets over the sea every night. Staff were all lovely. Everything "ran on rails" with calm competence evident across the whole hotel. Someone even managed to quickly retrieve my Kindle when I dropped it deep into the bed AC system. - Yes the beds have dedicated AC system built into the bed to keep you at the perfect temperature for a good nights sleep. Food is great across the hotel, with options for any point in the day if you feel hungry. They have a great website but in my view it still fails to do the place justice. So if you are considering a visit I would say -go for it!

My friends and I traveled together enjoying 8 fabulous days in Safari in Sumburu Kenya then on to Maasai Mari Expeditions ending our trip with 5 nights in Zuri Zanzibar Resort. Enjoying a warm welcome and friendly people the moment we arrived. The accommodations were amazing, our own little cottage, privacy for every single cottage. Walking anywhere have you a spa like feel. Picture perfect winding paths with the feel as if you are walking in a landscaped tropical forest? A yoga retreat with its own calming view. Hardwood floors, yoga mat and and any and all equipment desired. A fitness gym is also available with nice new equipment. Take the spice tour of their garden. It’s so Informative and very interesting. I’m not a cook and I didn’t think it would be something that would stand out in the trip however I was wrong. Take the spice tour!! The resort is kept so clean and there is always someone near to help you if needed. The spa with its amazing variety of different packages. An infinity pool over looking the beach with pool side restaurant service. .fSeveral restaurants to choose from. Our favorite was the Bahari Beach Bar. This is where we met Frances. He introduced himself to us the first day we arrived on the beach. Asked us to choose our seats and then set them up for us. Setting up our towels and chairs, offering drinks and service through out the day. His genuine smile made us feel that he truly enjoyed being there. We highly recommend Zuri Zanzibar. Ask for Frances he’s the best.

What can I say, the rooms delightful and modern boho cozy chic. We had 5 nights and one not so great meal [I mentioned it, and Wow! our next meal so yummy and totally off the chart - Terrific] Everyone at Zuri is so wonderful and helpful. When you see the white sand beach and the crystal clear water you never want to leave - especially with the fantastic Francis from Bahari restaurant at the beach. This gentleman takes such good care of you - my wife wanted to take him home with us. Also - best massages ever, checkout the spa. Zuri Zanzibar is such an amazing laid-back destination.

Responded 2 weeks ago
Dear Mr Zouhair, I'm very saddened to read your feedback. As explained by our team, we are very sorry you had to shorten your stay due to difficulties with your airline company. We would have loved to have you stay for more nights, nevertheless, we were glad to have you until later afternoon for late check-out. My team has sent you the suggested confirmation of cancellation (that was within the cancellation period of 30 days for a full refund) and we truly hope you can claim this with your airline company or your travel insurance, as advised. I am truly sorry to hear from you only on a negative note, especially staying in one of our most liked villas on the oceanfront and with all the experiences you have booked with our butlers. I hope you will reconsider your stay in the future and we can welcome you back to ZURI. All the best, Zofia, Operations Manager

This is one of the first hotels I've been to that I didn't want to leave. Afflicted with travel ADD, I almost always want to move on to the next thing, but not with Zuri. Zuri is a unique combination of natural and cultivated beauty, local and european influence, relaxation and activity. The spaciousness of the resort lends to a very private feel, and the dining is absolutely superb. Initially, our agent wanted us to go to a private island (you know the one) but we wanted someplace with options for variety in activities and dining. From the first night (dinner theme - street food!) we knew our decision had been perfect. The dishes were full of fresh ingredients, local spices, and quality preparations. The before and after dinner entertainment was engaging - with the beach acrobats and the outdoor theatre - all unexpected. The next day we took a private snorkel trip to Mnemba Island. Well, I say private, but with 50 other island boats there chasing dolphins and anchoring on the depleted reef - lets just say we were relieved not to be staying at that island. Nothing to see here. The other snorkel trip they offered was much nicer, to a healthy reef and a stop along a deserted sandy beach filled with seashells (not saying where it is, you'll have to ask Liza or Zahoro at the dive shop). Speaking of Liza, the beach activities are very well done - both diving and snorkeling are with top quality equipment and nicely organized, and the complementary kayaks, SUP's, and snorkel gear are much appreciated. Service is perfect. Plenty of cold water, towels, help with chairs or any creature comfort - the population density of the resort is very low, with a staff to resident ratio that seems to exceed 1:1. The restaurant Maisha is not to be overlooked - the creative, vibrant dishes are beautifully presented and perfectly done. Why the four stars? The rooms are beautifully decorated, spacious, and comfortable, yet there were a few small things - our outdoor shower was easily viewable from the walkway, the musty smell of poorly cleaned AC, a touch lamp not working - these wouldn't have taken away from anything. However, add this to the nightly thump thump thump of nightclub bass every night until midnight and what you come away with is poor sleep and a major loss of relaxation. The provided earplugs were ineffective against the constant beat. Not the serenity that a setting like Zuri promises. Would I go back? Yes, probably, because of the great experiences with the dive shop and the dining, but I would bring some top notch noise cancelling earplugs.

The hotel is amazing, the decoration and priveleged beach spot made a difference . Walking on the beach was a bit of disappointment since it is full of plastic bottles and boats. Zuri’s beach spot is the only place I found clean. Walking on the beach was also stressful: people are all the time trying to sell you somerhing, trying to grab you by the hand to see the local products, very disturbing. The hotel employees are all very nice and made everything to made our days special. I just missed explanations from the resposabible about the seaweed project that the hotel supports. We asked about the project and she did not know about it. Also we only found out later that the soap , shampoo etc in the room were from this project. The guest relationship on duty also did not told us even after we directly ask about it. Also, the sleepers did not fit my husband and I. We asked and we were told that the size of the sleepers are all the same for every guest. We did not know until our last night that there was a pilow menu . I had a neck pain all the days I stayed there. the local employees were all super nice and always with a smile on their faces.

We stayed at Zuri for the first 8 days of our honeymoon, we normally don’t like to stay in one place for this long and we would normally not go for an all Inclusive but this time we’re so happy we did. We had an absolutely amazing time at Zuri, the hotel is beautiful with lots of greenery and all of the accommodation is individual bungalows with big terraces outdoor showers and some with a private jacuzzi in the garden. The bungalows are spacious and beautifully decorated with an African touch. The hotels beach is a private area on the public beach which has white sand and clear turquoise water, it’s a true paradise beach. The hotel has one of their restaurants on the beach, which serves drinks and lunch everyday. The food is probably the best food you will have on a beach, we had lunch there most of the days and I was as excited for lunch each time, we must also mention the lovely staff who were there to serve us everyday, they did everything to make sure we had an amazing time. A special thank you to their trainee Freddie, I’ve never seen anyone trying so hard to make sure they’re doing a good job and you could tell he was eager to deliver good service. We alternated our dinners between the buffet restaurant and Maisha which is the a la carte restaurant, the food is probably some of the best food we’ve had in a hotel, there’s such a variety of flavours and everything is cooked to perfection. We also tried the seafood bbq on the beach one of the nights which was delicious and such a beautiful setting. The hotel also arranges different events throughout the week, Masai dance, fire dance, DJ’s and live music all during sunset which is a lovely day to finish off a beach day. We would also like to send a big thank you to Liza and her team at the water-sport centre, they took us out on a snorkelling trip to Mnemba Island and a Dhow sunset cruise, both excursions are something we will always remember. We can’t recommend Zuri enough, it’s the perfect beach holiday. Thank you to all the staff that work so hard for their guests and they all do it with a big smile. See you again, Sofie and Oliver

This property is a wonderful oasis!! My first time to Zanzibar and this was such a treat! We had a two bedroom ocean front villa for 5 nights. The accommodation and views were fantastic! It was special to walk out every morning to the beach and dip in the Indian Ocean! But the best part was the service! Our butlers Benezeck and Peter were really so attentive to our every need and request! Above and beyond!! Thank you guys!! You made our stay special! I hope I can return someday!!

A little piece of paradise. From the moment we pulled through the gates it was as we were royalty. Greeted with drinks and a smile. The facilities were incredible. Private and luxurious I couldn’t say anything bad about it. The food was beyond amazing, we have eaten at worse Michelin star restaurants than the Al a carte restaurant there. Every employee were so welcoming at all times and were on hand for what ever you needed. Yes a bit more pricey than other hotels around but my god well worth it!
