"The beach is beautiful & when the tide goes out every 6 hours you can walk out for ages but take sand shoes. The resort is only small you can walk around in 5 minutes it’s a perfect size for a low key get away. We had a deluxe room 1022 on the front line & the views were amazing our room was very large & great size balcony Our room maid Miriam was amazing our room was spotless as was the whole resort. The service was amazing we were really blown away the GM and managers were always visible & ensuring all guests were happy nothing was too much trouble, big shout out to Mimi the best concierge ever. The pools guys & bar staff were all amazing & very attentive again nothing was to much trouble, the entertainment guys were fantastic Issay & Makarme with their water aerobics & stretching each day. Outstanding service for us went to Edson, Issac & Agnes they always went above & beyond. There are so many to mention who made our stay so happy and memorable. There is a big main buffet the food was outstanding & if you want anything special cooked just ask & they will cook for you. A second smaller restaurant is located above the beach with great views out & serves as a 2nd restaurant for lunch & a la carte in the evening. The beach is really nice & safe to swim in but take sand shoes the location is beautiful & the one standout for me you didn’t get pested by locals trying to sell you trips on the beach. The spa offers a wide range of treatments with a steam room, sauna and jacuzzi, we visited twice , we had the honeymooners treatment which included salt scrub, mud wrap and massage, Lisa was excellent! I can’t recommend this hotel enough for a low key quiet get away from it all holiday we will definitely return."

"The hotel is very nice but is starting to look a little tired in places. The swimming pool and beach are lovely and it's a very relaxing place to be. The food I'm afraid is not good. My friend and I arrived mid morning and we had left Arusha very early in the morning so we needed coffee and something to eat. We were given a cup of instant coffee, dried bread and a couple of stale croissants....not a good start! At lunchtime we decided to share a pizza. It was a shop bought pizza and I don't have a problem with that but this pizza was awful. That evening we went to the pier restaurant and it is so lovely there but the food lets it down. It was my friend's birthday and the owner of the hotel suggested we have the seafood platter. At $110 dollars for two it's quite expensive but we were on the half board basis so we each had $35 dollars towards our meal. The seafood platter was ok but overcooked and it should have been fabulous. The next day we went back to this restaurant and we ordered two different seafood main meals but they didn't have it. We decided just to choose a starter each My friend chose vegetable samosas and they were out of the freezer. I chose the calamari which was inedible. You couldn't bite into it and it was so stretchy I said I could use it as a hairband! We were starting to get a bit fed up with the food at this point. Breakfast is totally uninspiring. Stale bread, stale cake and you can get eggs cooked but you wait ages. There is last nights curry and rice on the menu and you might find a small amount of cheese. Some days there was yoghurt and some days there wasn't . The coffee is hideous so we would have to hunt on the tables for peppermint tea and when the staff bought hot water for your tea it was never hot enough. The staff were nice at breakfast but not on the ball enough. We were constantly asking for butter to be put out and for more tea. By day 3 we were eating very little at the hotel and we found a nice little place at the end of the beach where you can get dinner for less than $4. Because of the daytime heat we could only really go to this place in the evening. Every lunchtime we would just have a plate of chips from the restaurant as it was the only thing we thought was ok. Due to having small breakfasts and inadequate lunches and my anti malaria tablets I became really ill. I had a whole day in my room feeling so ill and I did actually think I was going to have to get a doctor in. Fortunately my friend went into town and got me electrolyte drinks and got me some bananas . The next day I was a little better and was able to spend a bit of time on the beach. A couple of the staff on the main desk did show concern for me and where helpful in getting me on the mend. I tried to make the best of my last few days but because of the food and the feeling ill I couldn't wait to go home. The owners really need to get their act together with the food as it is just not good enough. They have a lovely relaxing hotel on a beauti"

"Paradise Beach resort is a great place to stay. We stayed 11 nights in room 62, with the best view on the sea. Please keep in mind that this is a children-friendly hotel. So a lot of playing kids and every night some sort of show or activity. Pro's - The staff is amazingly friendly. - The resort has 3 restaurants with great quality food. Not something we expted from a resort. - some shops located on the resort, for souveniers and small groceries. - the gym is new - cool activities to book from the resort Cons - the beach isn't that beutiful as other places on Zanzibar and the tides make it sometimes not possible to swim. - every night at 21.00 there is a show until 22.00 which is very loud. So sleeping is hard during this time. - Wifi is very slow"

Toa Hotel & Spa Zanzibar Hotels in Kati

Toa Hotel & Spa Zanzibar

"Our stay at TOA Hotel in Zanzibar was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we were welcomed with genuine kindness and outstanding hospitality. The service was truly five-star, and every member of the staff made us feel at home. We would especially like to thank Arafat at the reception and the manager, Hemed, for their generosity, professionalism, and warm welcome. They went above and beyond to make our stay special. A very special thank you also goes to Prince. He is an incredible person whose kindness, positive attitude, and dedication made a huge difference to our experience. He truly helped make our stay unforgettable. We would also like to recognize the entertainment team, who were always so friendly, cheerful, and full of energy. In fact, every single member of the hotel staff deserves recognition for their smiles, kindness, and exceptional service. The hotel itself is beautiful, with impeccable facilities, excellent cleanliness, and delicious food. Everything was well maintained, and we felt comfortable throughout our stay. Thank you to the entire TOA Hotel team for making our holiday so memorable. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Zanzibar, and we hope to come back one day!"

Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort Hotels in Kati

Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort

"If I have to summarise our experience in one word then it would be "Outstanding". From the moment we arrived till we left, we were offered a very personalised yet very private kind of attention. We concluded our Tanzania trip at Zanzibar. After 5 days of safari which was exhausting, Tulia was a breath of fresh air. The location is right on the beach with private access. Its a small hotel in middle of a vast green space. We stayed in the Luxury oceanfront villa which has views of expansive ocean and offers absolute privacy. This room is huge with a private deck and sitting area overlooking the ocean. The cleanliness is on the mark. They offer housekeeping services twice a day. The food is amazing with a new curated menu everyday. We are vegetarian and our menu used to be curated separately and both the chefs used to make sure in person that our dietary needs are very well taken care of. The surprise platter of snacks sent to me by the chef in the room was such a lovely gesture. Front office manager Mr. Andre took great care of us making our stay immensely pleasurable. The entire staff is dedicated to your services making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Every evening we used to have great fun at the bar. The bartenders are very friendly. All our dietary needs and demands were met, usual or unusual. The Tulia family is full of warmth and friendliness. They make you feel very welcome. You completely feel at home. The hotel is very well designed. I am in awe of their sustainability practices. They produce 85% of their fresh produce, have their own chicken and duck farm, in-house supply of water from well and minimum use of plastic. Joseph from the restaurant team took great care of us in making our meal very special and memorable The dinner time is like a celebration. They arrange some sort of entertainment every evening which is like very amazing and enjoyable. I will be grateful to Tulia family for such a memorable stay and wonderful experience. I highly recommend Tulia!!!"

Bahati Sunset Bungalows Michamvi Hotels in Kati

Bahati Sunset Bungalows Michamvi

"A wonderful stay. The rooms are not luxury, but spacious and have everything you need including A/C, a small fridge and really good Shampoo, shower gel and Lotion. Room Service is good, the rooms are very clean. The location is rather quiet and remote. So ideal for people looking for a relaxing time and not the Party people. It is located directly at the White, powedery beach with a bit garden area with a large enough Pool. With just a fee room Bahati is absolutely lovely and the staff is absolutely amazing. The Restaurant is also really good. The Menu is very international, so not focussed on lokal Kitchen - but I tjink many guests prefer what is offered. The pizza is really good. We had the Malaysian Prawn Curry and the Butter Chicken and he chicken burger. Only the Fries could be improved. I loved breakfast. With freshly made mixed Juice and a good Selekction of breakfast options. So if you want some relaxeing days at a great location, I can only recommend Bahati. You get excellent value for Money and can really feel at home here."

Azao Resort & Spa Hotels in Kati

Azao Resort & Spa

"We arrived on June 7, 2025, at 5:30 a.m., having left home at 5:00 a.m. the day before, and it was a real letdown. The receptionist told me the room wouldn't be ready until 2:00 p.m., and that I also had to pay €30 for early arrival, even though the trip was organized by Promovacances. There's absolutely nothing around the hotel, no shops, no supermarket; it's a complete wasteland... and it's pretty awful, but that's true of everywhere on the island. On our last day, our departure was scheduled for midnight, and we had to return the room key by noon, otherwise it would have been an extra charge. Dinner costs €25 per person, and of course, there's no way to eat anywhere else. I don't recommend this hotel, and for us, Zanzibar was a first and definitely a last time. We spent more on tips than on souvenirs..."

F-Zeen Boutique Hotel Zanzibar Hotels in Kati

F-Zeen Boutique Hotel Zanzibar

"I stayed for 2 nights at the F-Zeen hotel as a solo traveler. Every single person that works there are lovely and welcoming and can't do enough for you. The food is served as a buffet style and usually consists of a mixture of foods and there is also a chef at the grill ready to cook you something fresh. The location is perfect and you can walk along the beach in either direction. While you are at the hotel you won't be hastled but if you head up or down on the beach then people will hastle you to look at their shop or book an excursion. If you did want a bit of variety then there are a few restaurants that you can walk to along the beach. I was staying in a bungalow with a garden view and it was just as pictured and I was located right by the pool. There are lots of seats and loungers to relax on by the pool and on the beach. It was very quiet when I went so was just what I was looking for before flying to the mainland. I also went scuba diving with Dive Point, that the hotel recommended, and they were also amazing so can highly recommend them too! Would 100% come back here to stay and can't recommend them enough - thank you for looking after me."

Shukran Palace Hotels in Kati

Shukran Palace

"My stay at Shukran Palace was exceptional. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed with genuine warmth that immediately set the tone for a relaxing and memorable getaway. The hotel’s amenities truly elevated the experience. Whether enjoying a peaceful morning coffee with a stunning view, or taking advantage of the fitness facilities, everything was maintained to the highest standard. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. What stood out most was the staff. Every team member went above and beyond to ensure my stay was flawless. Their attentiveness, friendliness, and willingness to assist with even the smallest requests made all the difference. Dining was another highlight — delicious food, beautifully presented, with a variety of options to suit every taste. Each meal felt like a special occasion. It is rare to find a place that combines elegance, comfort, and exceptional service so seamlessly. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a remarkable stay."

Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive ★★★★★
"Very bad hotel, the environment is dirty and messy, and the valuables in the hotel were stolen directly (and they were in the safe), the hotel does not take any responsibility at all! ! ! The clothes in the suitcase were also lost, the washed clothes were not clean, the food tasted bad, the service of the hotel staff was also bad, lazy, unhygienic, and the drinking water provided was not clean. I saw that the waiter directly collected it under the faucet in the bathroom. Everyone must be careful of this hotel!"

"The rooms are shabby, needs renovation. The beds are hard and old. Nice pool area. You can hardly never go for a swim in the ocean, cause of the low water. The restaurant was horrible. Strange menu. Almoast no guests was eating there in the evenings. You found the at the other few restaurants nearby."

Avo Boutique Hotel ★★★★
"My stay at Avo Boutique Hotel was nothing short of a dream. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely relaxed, welcomed, and recharged and I already know this will not be my last visit. What truly makes this place special are the incredible owners, Barbara and Mo. Their hospitality goes far beyond customer service they genuinely treat you like family and always go the extra mile to make sure every guest feels at home. The beachfront location is absolutely perfect. Waking up to the breathtaking sunrise views every morning was priceless, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the ideal place to completely unwind. The hotel also has a beautiful pool and a well-equipped outdoor gym, which was a huge bonus for staying active while enjoying paradise. The food deserves a special mention too everything on the menu was amazing. The breakfast was outstanding, and the Avo Burger is honestly one of the best I’ve had. Absolutely a must-try! The rooms were spotless, stylish, and felt luxurious without the expensive price tag. This place offers incredible value for money and is worth every single penny. One of my favourite insider tips: hire a paddle board and head out onto the ocean at sunrise or sunset. It’s such a peaceful and unforgettable experience, and the rates are very reasonable too. If you’re looking for a chill vibe paradise with amazing people, stunning views, great food, and total relaxation, this is the place to be. Highly recommended 5 stars all the way."
