This is my second trip to Marea (previously under another name but with the same owners). I only want to talk about how much I like it if you all promise not to book in for the same weeks that I visit again. It’s quiet, which I love, but within walking distance of busier Paje. The rooms are clean, well-sized, have aircon, fans and cute balconies. Some of the rooms have just been redesigned, and I know there are more upgrades in the works. It has a wonderful Neapolitan restaurant, which is helpful because you don’t ever feel like you *need* to hunt for other food. It has a perfectly sized pool which never feels crowded, and not being in the centre of the resort, doesn’t come with lots of eyes gazing in your direction. Most of all, the staff are fantastic. They always have a smile and a kind word. Service is good and easy. It’s a great find for those looking for a boutique family run resort that also doesn’t break the bank.

Abbiamo soggiornato (due adulti e due ragazzi) in camera a pian terreno con due matrimoniali per 6 notti a Luglio 2025. Struttura semplice, con bella disposizione tra ristorante, piscina, spiaggia, direttamente sul mare. Stanza basic ma funzionale e soprattutto molto pulita, con cambio asciugamani, anche da mare, quotidiano. Personale molto preparato, educato e ben disponibile. Colazione molto abbondante con buona varietà di dolce e salato. Ristorante caro ma cibo eccelso. Proprietari sempre pronti a dare consigli per visitare isola e con buona organizzazione escursioni. E' stata davvero un'ottima scelta!

Without a doubt, best Italian restaurant on the island. Hosts very friendly and available, service is impeccable, and every dish bursts with authentic flavor. From fresh pasta to pizza napoletana to seafood, everything is made with passion and precision. A must-visit if you're in Zanzibar and craving a real taste of Italy.

Nous avons séjourné deux nuits dans cet hôtel. L’hôtel est propre et le lit très accueillant ( fleurs d’hibiscus et les serviettes en forme de cygnes )ainsi qu’une bouteille d’eau fraîche. Le personnel est très sympa. Nous avons dormi dans une chambre de plain-pied qui donnait vue sur la mer. Il y a plus moche comme vu de bon matin! La nourriture est simple et bonne. Une carte globalement italienne. Vous y trouverez des pâtes, des pizzas… le petit déjeuner est correct également. Des serviettes de plage sont mises à disposition, ça c’est le top, car ce n’est pas le cas dans tous les hôtels. Il y a la climatisation et le Ventilo. Vous pouvez également brancher vos appareils car les prises sont universelles. Cependant, quelques bémols : durant les 2 nuits, il y avait fort bruit de fond ( comme des machines à laver en marche, ou un gros bloc de clim qui vibrait sur la façade. C’était un peu compliqué d’y faire abstraction.) . L’eau de la piscine était un peu trouble et verte. Literie très dure

Déçus … Hôtel bien placé, restaurant italien excellent, accueil chaleureux du réceptionniste mais hôtel sans charme particulier et cher! Tout est fait pour vous inciter à dépenser des sommes astronomiques pour des services qui nous ont été facturés dans d autres établissements deux fois moins chers. (Excursions, service blanchisserie, suppléments au petit déjeuner) De plus l équipe du restaurant ne semble pas épanouie et l accueil y est désagréable. Il y a eu beaucoup de coupures d électricité durant la nuit et lorsque le groupe électrogène a pris le relais, nous avons été systématiquement réveillés. Bref le rapport qualité prix du Marea Boutique Hôtel est le plus décevant des 6 hôtels visités à Zanzibar.

We discovered this spot quite by chance after a trip to Jambiani. Since then it has quickly become a favourite for lunch, drinks, great beachfront and swimming. If you want a chill day, good food good drinks with beach paces away this is the place to be. Its a family run establishment who are very hands on and friendly. The icing on the cake was the service, from the get go the team were great at making us feel at home and the pizzas and pasta dishes are delicious having us come back again and again! The only slight blight is the pool attendant with a surly and unhelpful attitude so we generally ignore him. If you order at the restaurant you can use the pool gratis. There is free ample parking. Carry your own towel as they do not supply this. This is definitely a place I recommend and try out the pizzas mock and cocktails as well! The mixologist knows what his doing!
