The Royal Zanzibar quickly became our favourite destination after being pleasantly surprised by the serene beauty of the resort. The food is delicious and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The attention to detail of the resort is immaculate, living up to its 5 star rating. Pictures do not do the place justice. We will certainly be returning to The Royal Zanzibar after our unforgettable post-engagement getaway.

The have very big prices for poor service. We had no water to shower just before we left. We called the receptionist and nothing was done. I had to rinse with water from our bottles. They lady who cleaned our room never changed the towels nor did she bring us shampoo or shower gel. The claim tips but do nothing in return. Won’t return here.

Dear Doris, Thank you for taking the time to post your review on Trip Advisor. I hope that you will accept my sincere apologies for the disappointments you encountered during your stay. Unfortunately we had a main line water pipe burst that forced us to shut of the water for the entire resort. While I'm very sorry that happened, I understand that bottles of water, not a great option but the only one we had, were sent to your room and rejected. I believe there may have been some confusion with the towels. In our efforts to be more environmentally friendly, we only wash towels that guests have placed on the floor or in the tub. There is a sign in each room explaining, my apologies if it was not prominently located in your room. The lack of shampoo and shower gel there is no excuse for and we will discuss this with the room attendants. I'm very sorry to hear that you wouldn't return. Should you change your mind and be willing to give us an opportunity to show you our much better selves, please do call me directly, I'd very much appreciate the chance to ensure that we provide you with the WOW vacation you should have experienced the first time. Thank you for choosing Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort and we hope to welcome you back soon. Kind regards, Kim Elizabeth Bird General Manager Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort

Royal Zanzibar is absolutely the nicest all inclusive I have ever been to. The entire resort is clean, staff is excellent, and security is awesome. The food is excellent and large variety! The location is on the best beach in Zanzibar, and awesome sunsets! Manager Kim is the best! We loved every minute here. We didn’t want to leave. The Cliff restaurant in the ocean is included in the all inclusive, good food and excellent view! The rooms are enormous, clean and updated! And the multiple pools are beautiful! So much pool and beach space, you feel as if the resort is all yours! We can’t wait to go back!

From 24th of August until 6th of September we spent with our both daughters two weeks im Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort. The initial uncertainty of what the vacation would bring was taken away from us at the latest when we arrived at the hotel. We have never been welcomed so warmly and delighted in any hotel. Even when we expressed the wish to change the room, all receptionists tried very hard to fulfill our request. Thanks to Muru we were able to change rooms immediately. When we walked through the complex after moving into our rooms, we were overwhelmed. So beautiful, the entire area, pool, hotel beach, the turquoise sea, everything really is the finest! Everywhere you were immediately greeted warmly with "jambo", "How are you"!! The warmth, the feeling of being wanted, was shown to us every day anew. All employees (gardeners, cleaning staff, waiters, barkeepers, reception, all workers ...) they all were very, very friendly, warm and courteous. Not to forget the massai security, which always gave us complete security and were always available for a conversation, help, and photos. It was very nice for us that all employees are very, very child-friendly, which our daughters really liked. All in all it was a very pleasant and wonderful vacation in this hotel. We really enjoyed it very much in the beautiful facility on this paradise island. Thank you everyone for this wonderful vacation, "hakuna matata" for all employees and staff is true. We hope and wish that this standard can be maintained, we really want to come again. Family from Austria!!…
