Beach, pools, rooms and service all were great. Very friendly staff, food was good too. Not much happening in the hotel at night times but a short drive/ walk from kendwa rocks and cholos which are more lively on certain nights.

We arrived at Royal Zanzibar on the 18th September 2016 after trekking Mt Kilimanjaro and doing a safari, we were really looking forward to some much needed RnR. We are four friends who paid more than $6,000AUD to stay here for 5 nights. We arrived at the front desk at 7pm and were told by the General Manager that our... More

After spending an action packed 7 days hiking Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania myself and 3 friends arrived at the Royal Zanzibar Resort. We were excited for our 5 night/6 day all inclusive relaxing and much needed wind down from the mountain but it was a complete disaster right from the very start. We arrived at the resort to be told... More

I'm at the Royal Zanzibar hotel for a mini honeymoon with my wife. Arrival was great as we were greeted by friendly staff and upgraded to a superior room. For those who are coming to Zanzibar for that Zanzibar experience then this hotel is a no no as it is mini Italy. Had we known that, we would have opted... More

Dear Guest Thank you for your comments. We will take your constructive comments about our menu and share with our culinary team. While most guests are very pleased with it, I appreciate that food is very individual and subjective and regardless of menu it is impossible to please everyone all the time. We will continue to strive for an even... More

Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Resort is great, one of the nice hotels in the entirety of the north. Staff friendly, all inclusive deal was good value for money, views from the Ocean Suite are great and the pools are fantastic. Unfortunately, our stay was marred from the very off set with our journey from the airport taking a turn for the worst. An hour... More

Dear Guest Thank you for your comments and review. I was very sorry to read that you had issues with the local law enforcement. As with all parts of the world, videoing (or even suspected videoing) of police, military, etc is a practice that is not accepted. I will pass your comments on to the local authorities for their review... More
