We spent here 7 days with the target of enjoying the beach, having fun and spend quality family times. I must say that we covered them all 100% and a good part of it was due to the hotel location, with a beautiful beach just aside, the willingness of the workers and the care of the management. We had a perfect New Year’s Eve party (lobsters, real ham, perfect barbecue and lots of drinks and international food, with party music adapted to the guests), and we spent the rest of our days in a perfect resting time. I must say that the quality of the food was over the standard, as the service. Rooms were right, big and well supplied. If there was a “but” it is the Internet network. It is very weak and should be improved to match the rest of the services of the hotel. My congratulations to the management and warm greetings to the crew…

Warm greetings from Zanzibar! We would like to extend our appreciation in taking the time to write about your stay at TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar. It puts a big smile on our faces to know that you enjoyed what our hotel has to offer, and that our service and facilities exceeded your expectations. We're so pleased that we started the New Year in the best way, with you and your family and some good food and music. We have looked into having better connection through out the hotel - the island was experiencing issues with the network provider, however all has been resolved. We hope to welcome you all back to our piece of paradise in the near future. All the best for the year ahead

We spent 11 days at this excellent hotel in Zanzibar during NY and Xmas. The hotel itself is amazing - big area with garden, very good facitliies with 2 pools, own beach, spa facilities, 4 great restaurants with delicious food. The most important thing which makes your stay memorable are people - very friendly staff & attentive GM of the hotel who cares of his guests every day. We had wonderful partys for NY & Xmas with delicious seafood like lobsters and live music & got even a bootle of wine as a present for celebration of Xmas from GM. But due to location on the eastern cost of the island there are low tides of the ocean practically the whole day, so that if you want to relax and are happy with pool that hotel is definetly for you. We wanted to spend more time in the ocean and had chosen first the hotel on the western part of Zanzibar where the low tides are not so expressive, but our travel agency changed the hotel for this. So there was quite disappointing that we did not enjoy the ocean as we wanted & only some hours in the afternoon or even in the evening when the water was back. The water temperature was like in the hot bath! There are also lot of seaweed during the tide, but during the low tide you can discover lots of sea stars, sea urchins and other creations so you need slippers for swimming or walking in the water. There are also lots of local intrusive people standing at the beach and offering different excursions for the guests what is also a little bit disturbing if you want to relax. All in all great job of the staff & really wonderful hotel!…

What a great way to the start the week! Thank you for your wonderful review and for being so informative. It has been a tough year, but we're so pleased to have spent Christmas and New Years with you as our guest. Your kind words about our staff has put a big smile on our faces. They really do try to make everyone's stay a comfortable an memorable one. We're so pleased that on top of that, our facilities and food options met your expectations. As we are located on the north eastern coast, we are affected by the tides. This gives our guests the best of both worlds, where they can swim in the warm waters and walk out to the reef and witness the ocean life. Of course it is not ideal for everyone, but we can pass it as an experience. The seaweed season is almost at a close. We have a dedicated team that goes out daily to remove all that has washed up on the public beach. Thank you once again and we really hope to see you again. We wish you well for 2021. Please keep safe and keep healthy!

After the nightmare of the airport Tui Blue was an oasis. the hotel itself is lovely (some locally are not so great), the staff were great - helpful, polite and happy! Our room was superb - they gladly gave us an upgrade as we were on honeymoon, thank you Tui Blue!! What we also loved was the food: not just that it was delicious and fresh but very evening something new and different. To really spoil yourselves ask for the Beach seafood special dinner - stunning fresh seafood and super fresh lobster. If you are planning to go to Zanzibar, then plan to visit here.

I stayed here with my family from 31st December 2020 to 3rd January 2021. The NYE celebrations were good except for a speaker problem and the fact that the service was extremely poor - we asked for champagne glasses 4 different times to 3 difference waiters and nobody delivered until finally we took them off another table. However here are my pros and cons: Pros: 1. Rooms are spacious Cons: 1. Bathrooms in the room reek of sewage 2. Not clean - pillows smelt horrible, bedsheets have stains on them. 3. Understaffed significantly - you have to order things repeatively to get them at the buffet like water, soda or coffee. 4. Staff were a bit racist - they preferred to serve the Russian because they get their tips in dollars. 5. Poor management - we were there when a huge fleet of Russian tourists had arrived. There was no law or order at the buffet. For example: if you stood near the live grilled counter waiting for meat, the Russian ahead of you would fill his / her plate to the top clearing out whatever was cooked (probably waste half the plate of food too) and you were then left there waiting for another 15 minutes for food to be cooked for you. 6. The waiters / staff are inexperienced - if something ran out, say ice cream at the dessert section, they wouldn’t replace it with more ice cream. You had to ask the main manager to fetch a new tub. Again, Russian take everything and you’re left standing. 7. Food is always cold. We had lunch at Taste of Asia - food was terrible. The French fries are the only thing to rave about. 8. Beach is dirty (not the hotels fault) but the picture are deceiving - beach is not clean. If you want a clean beach better to go to Nungwi. 9. They treat local Tanzanians / Indians like secondary guests (even though we paid more than the Russians) which was quite frustrating. Overall: There are far better hotels in Pwani region and much better hotels in Zanzibar that are more value for money.…

Good day to you. We would like to thank you for your feedback and constructive criticism. We regret to know that our facilities and service did not meet your expectations.

We spent 11 great days in this hotel. And I want to say a special word about the work of personnel, they do the great job! And always ready to respond to any guests’ demands, from room service, guarding the beach to accompanying in any activities, such as visiting local villages and having coral reef walk. Many thanks to the staff especially to Santana!
