Our stay at the Zanzibar Queen Hotel was truly unforgettable. From the friendliest staff to the most delicious food - it truly exceeded our expectations. We did the Have It All offer and stayed in the beach front bungalow with plunge pool. When we arrived at our room we were blown away (the photos don't do any justice!). We were given a beautiful and delicious fruit plate as well as a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate our honeymoon. The room was very spacious, extremely clean and the bed was comfortable. The room had A/C, a french press coffee maker, kettle, tea, a mini fridge with soda and beer (which was included in our package), robes and slippers. Not all drinks and menu items were included in the Have It All offer but we found that there was more than enough items to choose from. The food was absolutely delicious. Every morning there was a breakfast buffet with pastries, fresh juices, coffee, tea, salads, fresh fruit and an egg station that also had waffles and french toast. Lunch was a la carte and there were plenty of options. Most dinners were served as 3 courses but one night there was a BBQ with a live band (SO much fun) and another night there was a Swahili dinner with drummers from different local tribes which was very cool! Yoga was offered at the hotel which we did most mornings. We also had excursions included in our offer - we did the sunset cruise, snorkeling trip and massage. The snorkeling trip was amazing and the massage was the best massage we've ever had. The sunset cruise was an experience but it wasn't really what we were expecting based on the description. We can't wait to come back!

The Zoi Boutique Hotel is first class. We liked it so much that we extended our stay several times. The hotel area was perfectly maintained and the rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. The location directly at the beach with marvellous white sand couldn’t be better. The food was delectable, wonderfully presented with an attractive, daily changing menu. And Gina, the best chef on the island, was fulfilling all our special wishes. But the best of all is the staff: All of them are very well trained, competent, exceptionally friendly and their dedication to their job is impressive.

The hotel is situated on a very nice white sand beach protected by a reef. There are urchins in the water, so wear beach shoes. The rooms are well-appointed and the breakfast buffet good, with a large selection of local fruits, eggs made to order, bakery goods and small choice of hot foods. It’s very peaceful and their cocktails are nice to drink on the beachfront deck. We are all our meals at the hotel and the menu is just large enough to offer varied choices for a stay of a few days. There might be a kitchen hygiene issue though, as my friend had to vomit one afternoon and I was struck by diarrhea on my last day there.
