This hotel was exceptional!! We truly enjoyed our stay as a family of 5, the hotel grounds were breath-taking. To be honest, we couldn’t make much use of the private pool as water was cold. The staff were super friendly. Breakfast options were good, dinner options not as great. Beware of the monkeys as they can sneak in if doors are left unlocked. Would definitely stay there again!

I am a solo traveler and I was looking for a hotel to rest after my crazy stopovers throughout Zanzibar. The entire hotel team took great care of me. I didn't lack anything. The room was spacious and beautiful with the swimming pool and the small garden. The area is very wooded which means you can come across friendly little animals. Thank you again to the entire team at The Résidence hotel for all the care taken during my stay.

I truly recommend Lukman as yoga teacher! His classes were really good and deep, his knowledge and guidance allow visitors to conduct a regular and precious practice of yoga.

This was most excellent stay. The residence is fantastic and the experience was heavenly. This was made even more special by Restaurant Manager Rakesh Dherel and Chef Satish. Rakesh was outstanding always taking care of us and our needs. Rakesh and Satish made sure that our experience with food and overall stay was excellent. Rakesh is an amazing person and gave us fantastic wine recommendation especially since he is also a wine connoisseur. Thanks to Rakesh and Satish our stay has been most memorable.
