The decoration style is beautiful, but the food service is far from what it should be at this price

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Baraza Resort & Spa – Paradise Found! After an unforgettable safari through Kenya and Tanzania, we wrapped up our adventure with a stay at Baraza Resort and Spa in Zanzibar—and let me just say, it was the perfect grand finale. Baraza is one of those places where every detail has been carefully crafted to create pure luxury, peace, and pampering. The Villa: Our villa was over the top—spacious, elegant, and beautifully decorated with Turkish/Sultan-style touches. Huge closet and bathroom, a comfortable sitting area, and our own private plunge pool (a little chilly, but lovely nonetheless). We were steps from the beach loungers, and the area was quiet, serene, and wonderfully relaxing. ️ The Food: Every meal was excellent, but the standout was a private seafood lunch on the beach—easily one of our favorite moments. We also loved the elaborate breakfast buffet (seriously impressive) and the attentive service at every meal. From drinks to dessert, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. ️ The Vibe: Baraza knows how to make you feel like royalty. We didn’t leave the resort for two full days and had zero regrets. Between the beach loungers assigned just for us, the drinks and snacks delivered with a smile, and the quiet, relaxing atmosphere—this was our slice of paradise.

Even the hotel foyer makes you swoon! And it just gets better from there. Our villa for 5 was beautiful and well appointed. The vets were so comfortable and the staff kept it impeccably clean. Meals and service were five star, indeed! Angela was our personal concierge and she did not miss a detail. We enjoyed a couples massage and it was exemplary. Wish we had more time to relax and enjoy all of the amenities, but from there we took our kids (teenager and 20-somethings) on the snorkel tour. Do this! The sea life was beautiful and the reef very much alive! Pool and beach were beautiful and we spent hours lazing around, recuperating from 8 days on safari. Not only would we return again and again to this piece of paradise, we truly did not want to leave.

From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Angela, our villa host we have been spoilt. The villa is beautiful, clean and airy with a huge bath, day beds (inside and out!), a plunge pool and a minibar. The food has been exceptional. Every breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, bar snacks and dinner has been beautifully prepared and presented. Some nights a buffet, other nights a 5/6 course dinner with a theme. The bar staff are great, always keeping an eye out in case you need a drink or a snack. The pool, beach and sea are lovely. Borrow some reef shoes and go for a walk at low tide along the beach spotting crabs and beautiful shells. The gym is good and the 2 massages we had were top rate. The yoga and meditation sessions were inspiring. The water sports team were great fun. Moosa took us on the snorkelling trip, which we’d highly recommend and on an organised reef walk where we spotted star fish, sea cucumbers and beautiful coral. The only downside is that we have to go home.

My son and I spent 5 days here after safari. It’s a beautiful hotel, the grounds are stunning and the 2 room villa was very comfortable. Service was excellent throughout, the standard of the food was extremely high and we felt welcomed and cared for. We didn’t have any difficulty finding a sunbed by the pool or on the beach and were well served with drinks while there. We took a trip into Stone Town, arranged by the hotel, which was very interesting. All in all a very special stay.

Excellent quality and lovely attentive stuff. Always had a look at you an your needings. The rooms were just great of excellent quality and were very very clean. The food was very good. A option for every taste. No problem to get a kids menu but they are also able to change main dishes a little bit for the little ones.

May stay at the Baraza was just wo wonderful only too short (three nights only). We received a very friendly welcome and were very attentively looked after throughout our entire stay. My bungalow was simply fantastic, very spacious and, at approximately 150 square meters, fully equipped with everything: a spacious living area, a super comfortable bed, a large bathroom, a dressing room, a small kitchen, and much more. I felt like a princess in thousand and one nights. Friends who saw my status photos wanted to know if I'd booked the President's Suite. The breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired, and the dinner, whether buffet or set menu, is also excellent. The entire hotel complex is very spacious, beautifully landscaped, and well-maintained. Everything was spotlessly clean. Conclusion: I highly recommend the Baraza.

We had an amazing stay at Baraza Resort and Spa. Enormously friendly staff that were helpful with everything you needed, quick response. Beautiful villa and surrounding areas. Clean and a fantastic athmosphere. The food was top of the line. A place I like to return too.
