Family friendly Hotels in Jambiani

Check-in? Smooth as butter. Room? Cleaner than most 5-star hotels I’ve seen so far. Outside terrace? It’s literally Bali combined with Zanzibar. Staff? Friendliest people I’ve probably ever met. Food? The chef should be praised 24/7. This is just a summary of everything that should interest you. We arrived at Coral Rock at around 9am, knowing that check-in is usually at 2pm. We were greeted at the reception by a lady that informed us that the former guests will be leaving and as soon as the room is properly cleaned, we can go in. We left our luggage at the reception and proceeded to relax in the restaurant area while we waited. We had coffees, fruit platters and fresh juices and were entertained by Jerry, a staff member of Coral Rock. We had a very pleasant conversation, he had a wonderful smile and just made time pass easier. After what seemed to only be 5 minutes (but was actually 3 hours), we were informed by Ali (another staff member with whom we completely fell in love) that the room is ready. We proceeded to go to the reception to get the luggage - gasp - which was gone. Instead, the bags were waiting for us in a cool AC’d room, with a big bed full of flowers and fresh water bottles. To die for! This is just our first story with Coral Rock. The following days were amazing as well. Each day we dropped our key off at the reception so housekeeping can occur, which was done very seamlessly. The staff members (especially Ali and Jerry) always made sure to ask us if we need anything and if everything is to our liking. Now, the food… The food! We ate the greatest octopus and calamari ever! We also had a Swahili style seafood coconut curry, which was absolutely (again) to die for. Now, I’ve seen some bad reviews of the tuna tartaki (basically tuna steak), with people saying that it would always be way too dry and cooked extremely well done, which of course is not ideal with this dish; I decided to venture and try it out to see for myself. Needless to say, the reviews were either outdated or simply written by people that have nothing to do whatsoever with food, because it was cooked to perfection. Perfectly medium-rare in the center and crusted with toasted sesame seeds? It was absolutely mesmerizing how perfect that dish was made. I absolutely adored every single part of this experience. Other great dishes include the ramen (all variations of it, as we ate the beef, seafood and chicken ramen), the grilled veggies & calamari salad, the pineapple tart, the curries, and the list could go on and on and on. I was pleased to see the chef and his (cutest toddler ever) daughter, and I would congratulate him all day everyday if I could. We even got to enjoy a stunning floating breakfast all accustomed for by Ali! I can’t describe this place enough. I had high expectations, but Coral Rock exceeded them and then some! Please don’t base your decisions on old, outdated reviews; you might miss out on the greatest experience ever. Note that I’m writing this wit

The ocean view from our room at S&S Hotel was absolutely breathtaking. We loved waking up to the sight of the sparkling sea every morning, staffs are the epitome of professionalism and hospitality. They went out of their way to ensure that every moment of our stay was perfect and unforgettable,bar is the perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring since we were also doing some tours and activities around the island, The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home, restaurant is a culinary delight. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was a feast for the senses and it's always fresh food, juice even fruits fresh and sweet 😋, swimming pool is a true oasis. We loved taking a dip and cooling off while enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding landscape, this was like living a premium dream ❤️.

we arrived at Jambiani White Sands by taxi, as soon as we arrived the hotel staff came to collect our bags and took us to the hall (in perfect bungalow style) they sat us down and offered us a welcome drink, a fruit smoothie fresh. after which they explained the place to us and took us to our room. the place is wonderful, bungalows on the very fine white beach, the sea a little green a little blue and blue and you can see from the window it is one step away from the rooms really on the beach like in the films. The staff is very kind, they make you feel at home, they explain all the secrets of Zanzibar and their territory. we also did some excursions recommended by Joka who guided us through the local wonders. The excursions are highly recommended, they take you step by step to the places you want to go, explaining everything and making you experience this wonderful country. The restaurant inside the structure is also highly recommended, with very fresh peece cooked on the spot. truly a paradise Thanks to joka mohamed and ibra for the experience you gave us siamo arrivati al Jambiani White Sands in taxi, appena arrivati il personale dell'albergo è venuto a ritirare pe nostre valige e ci hanno portati nella hall (in perfetto stile bungalow) li ci hanno fatto sedere e offerto un drink di benvenuto un frullato di frutta fresca. dopodiche ci hanno spiegato il posto e portati alla nostra stanza. il luogo è meraviglioso, bungalow sulla spiaggia bianca finissima, il mare un pó verde un pó azzuro e blu e si vede dalla finestra è a un passo dalle camere veramente sulla spiaggia come nei film. Lo staff è gentilissimo, ti fanno sentire a casa, ti spiegano tutti i segreti di Zanzibar e del loro territorio. abbiamo fatto anche delle escursioni consigliate da Joka che ci ha guidato nelle meraviglie locali. consigliatissime le escursioni, vi accompgnano passo a passo nei luoghi dove volete andare, spiegandovi tutto e facendovi vivere questo paese meraviglioso. consigliatissimo anche il ristorante all'interno della struttura, il peece freschissimo cucinato al momento. veramente un paradiso. Grazie a Joka, Mohamed e Ibra per l’esperienza che ci avete fatto vivere
