The Mora Zanzibar Reviews

Our stay at Mora has totally exceeded our expectations. The hotel is very nice and clean, food and drinks were very delicious and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We have spent 4 nights there during our honeymoon and everyone made us feel very special. Would highly recommend it to everyone and would be happy to stay there again

Everything about the Mora was excellent. Top notch service. The inclusive service was amazing. Staff were friendly and eager to always assist.  Great job

Pros: The hotel is very large and the facilities are good. It is very clean. It has its own beach, where you can rent surfing equipment and go out to sea to chase dolphins. The location is independent and a little far from other places on the island. I think it is enough to stay for 1-2 days. Cons: The service feels a bit careless. We booked lunch at the beach club at noon, but when we arrived, they said that someone else had eaten our lunch, and they didn't believe us. The attitude of the waiter was very annoying. I spent thousands of dollars to stay in the hotel. Who can lie about a lunch? This service is really amazing. I don't know how the waiter was trained. I spent thousands of dollars, but the service was still so bad. Don't expect any star-level service here, and don't book special restaurants. Just eat at the buffet restaurant. It saves time and trouble and you won't get angry.

It's quite far from the airport, but once you get in, it's like a paradise. The hotel is very big. I didn't experience the smell in the room. There are many restaurants, all of which are delicious, with all kinds of regional cuisines. It's too fat to lie down every day after eating and drinking.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, even though it was my first time in Zanzibar. The only two highlights are that in addition to breakfast, the buffet changes every day, the grilled food is very good, and there is a large garden + low-density housing. There are countless disadvantages, including but not limited to: The door of the room suddenly couldn't be opened, and it took from 6pm to 9pm to be completely opened. There are many big snails and various reptiles on the terrace of the room. The clothes in the room are not easy to dry. If you dry them outside the next day, you will find a big snail lying on your underwear, wrapped in mucus circles... If you give up this terrace, it may not have much impact, but if you bite the bullet and try, it will be a disaster. There are also a lot of bees and flies in the buffet restaurant in the morning. You have to wave your fork to drive them away while eating... In addition to the buffet restaurant, other restaurants in the hotel need to be booked in advance on the app. Try to make all the subsequent meals on the day of your arrival, otherwise you will probably have to eat buffet every day. The hotel's pool towels are very scarce. Normally, it closes at 6:30, but there are no clean towels at 5 o'clock. At this time, the sun is about to set and there is a little wind, so you can't swim in the hotel pool if you want to go out in the afternoon... By the way, this hotel only has a private beach, and the sand is very fine, like flour. You can find a lot of big crabs when you go out at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening. I don't know if this is unique to this hotel or it is the same in Zanzibar. The beach closest to the hotel is full of private small wooden boats with engines installed by local soliciting customers. If you insist on walking a little further to bypass them and swim in the sea, you will find a smell of motor oil in the sea water when you occasionally choke on the water... When you see the small wooden boats, you will think that Africa is relatively backward, so just bear with the poor conditions. But when you take a taxi to Nungwi Beach to cruise and watch the sunset, you will find why speedboats and two-story yachts on the beach are not uncommon? Finally, if you plan to come to Zanzibar, try not to choose a hotel like the mora, which is isolated. There is no village or other hotels nearby. You can only make an appointment for a taxi in advance through WhatsApp, because it is difficult for taxis to come in... It was very easy to bargain down to 30% off the price offered by Xiaohei, so don't worry...

The hotel is located in the northeast of Sang Island, where you can watch the sunrise. The internal facilities are exquisite and modern, with everything you need. The service staff are smiling and responsive. The meals are rich, and there is a special Chinese restaurant with a strong Chinese style decoration and teppanyaki.

The hotel is large and well-equipped. Accommodation includes three meals, which is very convenient. There are various types of swimming pools and spas. There are also different activities and courses to participate in every day on the mora app, including diving experience courses. You can buy some souvenirs at the Marseille market. The Marseille performance is very fun and you can dance together at the end.

The hotel is large and the service is great

The hotel is large, the rooms are very nice, and the beach and swimming pool are very beautiful! It is convenient to include three meals, but the taste is not particularly suitable for Chinese people. Maybe because the hotel is too big and there are too many guests, the service feels a little lacking, but overall it meets my expectations. The beach is really beautiful!

It is very convenient to chase dolphins, the scenery is beautiful, the hardware and service are good in Sang Island

High cost performance, very satisfied with the service attitude
