Best location in Zanzibar

We spent 8 nights at this gorgeous resort, including New Year´s. The hotel is located on the nicest stretch of sand of the island. The west coast is not really affected by the tide so you can go for a swim anytime. Our room was really spacious, on the upper floor of Block B.…

Jambo Adriana, Thank you very much for your very kind review of Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed our beautiful beach, spacious room and our wonderful staff. I appreciate your remarks about the bottles and cigarette butts, we will ensure that we do a better job of cleaning the areas around the beach chairs in the morning. I'm also very sorry to hear that the beer at the beach bar wasn't cold. We'll check on how and when we're stocking the bar to ensure this is not the case. We will take a look at the snacks but I'm surprised to hear you felt the drink offer was limited. With all the standard alcohols and mixers, a choice of beer and wine options, this is not a concern that has come up previously. But we'll take a look and ensure that everything that should be available is in place. Thank you once again for choosing Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort for your stay in Nungwi. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Kind regards, Kim Elizabeth Bird General Manager Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort

Considering that this is Africa and abviously one can not expect North American customer service standard, I would say that everyone is trying to do their best to make you happy. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are beautiful as well. I will not complain that we didn’t…

Dear Raluca, Thank you for your very kind review and recommendation for Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort. It's a pleasure to hear that there were so many things you enjoyed about the resort and the gardeners appreciated your remark about the beautiful grounds. We would also agree that the beach is spectacular and were truly delighted that you were so pleased with our New Year's Eve Buffet. The Kitchen did a great job, didn't they? I am very sorry that no one explained to you about Block A. You were booked for Superior and Superior Deluxe rooms and Block A consists entirely of Ocean Suites, there are no rooms of the type you booked in Block A. We will do our best to be clear about this with future guests. I was even more sorry to hear about your experience at Samaki and would like to assure you that this is not the normal offering in that restaurant. I wish that you had spoken to management about it, we would have been pleased to ensure that you had the meal you had been dreaming of. Thank you once again for choosing Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort to finish your vacation. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and assure you we will do everything we can to ensure the stay is all you imagined. Kind regards, Kim Elizabeth Bird General Manager Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort

Nice hotel on the beach

Nice hotel, clean and spacious rooms. Beach is beautiful and not crowded. Rise and low tide let to swim all day. Lots of activities for those who doesn’t want just lay and swim. Staff and animators (especially Marco) were really friendly and fun, all our children (between 10…

Dear Adam, Thank you so very much for a wonderful review and a terrific recommendation! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us so much and appreciated your kind remarks about your rooms, housekeeping, food, beach and our lovely staff. I was also pleased to hear that you were happy about the lack of mosquitoes and bugs, it's not always as good in the wet season, but really has been good so far this season, thank you for mentioning it! We were also glad to hear that you were able to practice your assertion skills, although very sorry you had to do any kind of work on your vacation. We keep speaking to the beach boys in an effort to calm them down and some guests seem to find them quite manageable, unfortunately not all. I was also sorry to hear about the mocktails. We'll sample a few (tough job, I know!) and see if there are adjustments we can make. Thank you for mentioning it. Thank you once again for choosing Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort for your vacation in Nungwi. We hope to welcome you back in the near future. Kind regards, Kim Elizabeth Bird General Manager Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort

Honeymoon upgrade

We came here on our honeymoon and were given an upgrade to a beach front suite. It was an amazing room. Huge bathroom etc. We couldn’t have been looked after better with the room. The food in the main restaurant (buffet) is quite nice and offers variety. The food at the beach…

Our Superior Deluxe rooms were newly built in 2016 and our Ocean Suites completely renovated in 2017. Our Superior rooms have been refreshed but not renovated. If you prefer to pay for the upgrade to a Superior Deluxe or Ocean Suite, please contact our reservations team. I'm not allowed to post their email here but it can be found on our website. We look forward to welcoming you!

Hi there Is the meat halal in this resort? And in most resorts of zanzibar? Thanks

Yes all the meat is halal. Zanzibar is a Muslim Island. They are extremely vigilant with cross contamination. Please be made aware prior to reaching the resort you will see a lot of poverty. Their road conditions are extremely poor. If you can take clothes, books, pens, sweets please take them to gift the people. They will not ask or hound you. I am a Muslim and avid travellers. From over 50 countries I have visited Zanzibar has to be my favourite. They have a 24 hour bar but make Mocktails on request. Predominantly all the staff in the resort are Muslims.
