Z Hotel has one of the best facilities at Nungwi beach with great pool area and direct access to a private beach making a dive in the pool and in the ocean easily done within 30 seconds. In addition the staff is extremely kind and helpful, food is great (at both Sexy Fish, Merigold, and Cinnamon). Rooms are standard sizes and super cosy. Would recommend to everyone.

Espectacular. Un hotel a pie de playa (semiprivada) en Nungwi. Atención personalizada desde el check in. Explicación de servicios del hotel y un refresco. Decoración muy bonita y habitación (número 41) increíble, con una terraza con vistas al indico. Puestas de sol de película. Muy buen servicio de comidas en piscina y playa. Desayunos en el Sexy Fish muy completos. Personal amable y educado. Un 10.

I went on a solo trip to Zanzibar and stayed here at the Z Hotel. It was a fabulous experience. My room was set up for me ready for bed and the end of the day and made up in the morning. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I felt very safe here as a solo female traveler. The pool is nice, the bed is comfortable and the food is great! I would stay here again.

Everyone from the reception to the housekeeping to the security is so pleasant. They are incredibly hardworking, and will go out of their way to make sure your stay is nothing but the best. Every meal we had was over the top amazing. We wanted for nothing while we were here. We definitely recommend staying here on your visit to Zanzibar.

La struttura è davvero bella e molto grande. Accanto allo Z Hotel c'è anche lo Z2 che non abbiamo mai visitato, anch'esso però dotato di piscina e altri comfort. La struttura ha un design afro/europeo moderno e eclettico, davvero "cool"! Sono presenti due ristoranti (sexy fish e cinnamon) dove si mangia davvero bene. Cucine internazionali, peccato non ci sia niente di italiano o versatile come pizza. Però sono stati molto carini nel prepararci spaghetti o riso in bianco poiché un paio di giorni avevamo avuto qualche disturbo di stomaco. E entrambi i ristoranti sono davvero buonissimi. Camerieri, guardiani, staff tutte persone gentilissime ed accoglienti. 10 stars a tutto lo staff e a come lavorano. Tengono tutta la struttura, le camere e le aree comuni davvero bene, sempre pulite e sorvegliate. Giardino bellissimo con queste palme che circondano tutta la struttura ed anche le piscine. Palestra pulita e molto bene attrezzata!! Peccato averne usufruito solo una volta. L'aspetto meno buono è la spiaggia privata che è un pezzettino (anche se sempre sorvegliata da un guardiano che tiene a distanza i beach Boys), ma si è comunque rilegati" in un tratto piccolissimo di spiaggia della spiaggia pubblica di Nungwi, dove c'è un caos di persone, beach Boys e barche tutto il giorno. Comunque a piedi siamo andati verso Kendwa, giusto 4 minuti di cammino (con la bassa marea sennò non è detto si passi) e la spiaggia di là dalla baia (o quella ancora dopo) sono più grandi e l'acqua è più pulita, anche perché ci sono pochissime barche e lo spazio è davvero tanto. Comunque rispetto ad altre zone la marea qui incide molto meno a livello di balneazione. In altre zone (da nord est a sud est dell'isola) quando arriva la bassa marea, l'acqua si abbassa tantissimo e ci sono tantissimi ricci e sassi. Infine, non so se è dovuto al periodo del NS soggiorno (Luglio), ma anche se non ha mai fatto caldissimo, c'è tanta umidità. Quindi i costumi e i vestiti non asciugano per niente. Addirittura a che in camera i vestiti appesi e la valigia si sono inumiditi.

Had a great stay here. Very clean, extremely beautiful, and helpful staff. Big shout out to Wema who was staffed at the front desk--she was a ray of positivity and energy after our very long travel to get to Zanzibar. She made us feel extremely comfortable and welcomed, and she set the tone for the entire trip! Accommodations met all expectations. Would definitely recommend!

A mid-size hotel with style. We loved the look of the hotel and the staff is definitely there to please. Our room was well decorated, comfortable, clean and yes you can hear some music, but it didn't keep us awake. Our first night we had a lite dinner and drinks at the bar/restaurant. They have drink and food specials and everything was tasty! The second night we had dinner at Sexy Fish and that was great. The beach is comparable to most of the hotels but there is a little more hustle and bustle due to the boat being tied up right outside.... we considered it entertainment. The pool is very nice, and the spa was very nice too! The gym is well-appointed, it's not the hotel's fault that 2 rude patrons were in there when I was. There were a few minor misses, nothing that impacted the rating significantly. I think the staff can use some additional training just to advance service a little - there seems to be enough idle time. Overall I am very happy we pick The Z. It was a great way to relax and spend 5 days getting ready for the next leg of our trip in Africa.

Hotel molto bello e fornito di tutti i servizi. I dipendenti tutti gentili e disponibili per qualunque necessità. Camere pulite e sempre in ordine. Ottimi i saponi forniti da loro in bagno. Piscina bellissima e pulita, il ragazzo che se ne occupa è sempre stato attento su tutto. Ottimi anche i ristoranti, hanno offerte di ogni genere e per tutti i gusti. Ogni tanto salta la corrente ma è normale su tutta l'isola, ed il generatore dell'hotel parte subito quindi non vi sono problemi. Camera munita di tutto anche phon. Unica pecca la spiaggia che è piena di barche e di gente essendo anche pubblica quindi il mare non sempre è limpido. L'hotel ha però la sua parte di spiaggia privata con guardiano che è mantenuta con molta attenzione.
