A spectacular view of the Indian Ocean from almost anywhere on the resort makes this all-inclusive property a wonderful choice for those guests looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. Fantastic swimming pools, a beautiful beach with clear, turquoise waters and amazing sunsets all add to the ambiance! The rooms are large, approximately 80 square metres for Superior Rooms and 100 square metres for Suites. A spacious bathroom with a large bathtub, separate shower and double sinks provide luxurious comfort. All rooms include a quiet split-unit air conditioner, TV, fridge, coffee and tea making facilities, a safe and a terrace from which to enjoy the view. The warm, friendly staff invite you to enjoy meals in the buffet restaurant with a varied selection of local and international dishes or a traditional pizza oven near the beach offers a quick snack while you relax by the pool.

We had an ocean view room which was big and spacious with amazing sea views , big bathroom with a roll top bath , rainfall shower and lovely big comfy beds, everything was just perfect. The grounds are immaculate, it has 5 swimming pools , 2 beach bars, lots of sunbeds and all set on a lovely beach. The sunset each evening is Amazing!! All the staff are very polite and went out of their way to help in any way they could. Big thank you to all at the Royal Zanzibar Resort , we had a amazing time!

Really nice experience.
The rooms were really big and comfortable. Location was really nice. Sea was beautiful. Food was great, but the all inclusive alcohol had only the cheapest local alcohol available. We only stayed for 2 night but it was better than our other hotels.

Great Hotel
We stayed here for three days after a kenyan Safari, wish we had booked to stay longer. Room was huge, clean and great location overlooking pool. Cannot fault the food always plenty of options to choose (we dont eat meat). My daughter arranged for a birthday meal on the beach this was amazing, Lobster was so delicious as was all the food. Waiter Simba & chef were so friendly and worked hard as were all the hotel staff they all work so hard to make a enjoyable stay. Beach & sea is beautiful always sunbeds available. We met Masai Mara community when in Kenya and was nice to see the guys at the hotel for security, they are very interesting to speak with about their culture/way of life and do a great job around the hotel. Would love to return again one day for longer!

Fantastic Hotel
We have just returned from a great holiday at the Royal Zanzibar Hôtel. The hotel grounds are beautiful and well maintained, the food was varied and nice-we especially loved the cliff restaurant for lunch and the outdoor buffet on the beach was amazing. All the staff were so friendly amd helpful and we were greeted by big smiles and ‘Jambo’s’ from everyone. Our family room was very spacious with a big bathroom and we enjoyed the different bars, the swimming pools and joined in some of the activities which were well organised and fun.
