Nous sommes arrivés au bawe island par hasard après avoir été surclassés (nous avions initialement réservé au Gold). Par où commencer? Ce séjour était tout simplement exceptionnel. D’abord les chambres sont à couper le souffle avec une vue somptueuse, le meilleur équipement que j’ai pu voir (et nous avons beaucoup voyagé!), une piscine privée et une salle de bain extérieure monumentale et tellement agréable! L’hôtel est partout superbement décoré et entretenu, il est tout neuf et, si vous cherchez le calme et le repos parfait, vous ne trouverez pas mieux! Que dire des repas? Habitués aux formules buffet, nous étions déçus au départ d’apprendre que c’était un service à la carte mais au contraire: chaque plat que nous avons mangé était un enchantement avec des plats d’une fraîcheur, des sauces savoureuses. Ce sont vraiment d’excellents cuisiniers qui s’affairent en cuisine avec un savoir faire à la française. Là encore c’était clairement le meilleur tout inclus de notre vie: tartares de poissons, pêche du jour et cigales de mer grillées, filet de bœuf, frites maison savoureuses et j’en passe. Mais malgré toutes ses merveilles, le point fort du Bawe island resort est ailleurs: LE SERVICE. Nous sommes repartis le coeur serré car jamais nous n’avions été accueillis avec une telle chaleur. Il y a peu d’enfants dans l’hôtel et mes filles ont été tellement chouchoutees, traitées avec une gentillesse hors du commun. Toujours quelqu’un pour faire attention à nous, vérifier que nous ne manquions de rien, j’en étais parfois presque gênée. Merci notamment à Morris qui nous a accueilli et accompagné tout au long du séjour avec beaucoup de bienveillance. Même si nous parlons anglais, son français parfait qu’il a appris seul nous a émerveillé. Bravo Morris! Merci aussi à, Agness, et Anold qui nous ont servi à table avec tellement de gentillesse et de prévenance, et aussi à tout les autres dont je n’ai malheureusement pas retenu le nom. Merci aussi à Preetam qui a toujours veillé également à ce que tous nos repas soient sans aucune fausse note. Un seul conseil, si vous cherchez un havre de paix et une expérience exceptionnelle, foncez. Merci à tous, continuez comme cela, vous êtes parfaits!

So ein wundervoller Ort mit wundervollen Menschen. Eine kleine private Insel, die keine Wünsche offen lässt. Die Villen sind wirklich wunderschön, mit einem tollen offenen Bad und einem privaten Pool. Am besten bewegt man sich auf der Insel mit einem bereitgestellten Fahrrad, welches liebevoll mit dem Namen und einem kleinen Herzen versehen wird. Von der Bar direkt neben dem Hauptpool hat man einen schönen Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang. Ich hatte ein All Inclusive Paket, was auch eine gut ausgesuchte Weinauswahl beinhaltete. Das Hotel verfügt auch über ein kleines italienisches Restaurant, was wirklich hervorragende Pizza und Pasta bietet. Das Essen war immer sehr gut, frisch, hochwertig und abwechslungsreich. Bestellt wird a-la-carte. Sollte aber mal etwas nicht auf der Karte vorhanden sein, so tun Chefkoch Giovanni und sein Team wirklich alles dafür, persönlichen Wünschen so gut wie möglich nachzukommen. Die Themenabenden, wie die marokkanische oder afrikanische Nacht wurden ebenfalls kulinarisch als auch unterhaltungtechnisch liebevoll und detailreich umgesetzt. Rundum hatte ich einen wunderschönen unvergesslichen und entspannten Aufenthalt. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Over priced and not worth it at all. Service was one of the worst. Every 5 minutes it sorry and they don’t pay attention to anything at all. This is a Maldives company coming to Zanzibar to scam people. $18 for a soda at the bar. They make you pay an all exclusive package to later than charge you for room service

Wir hatten das große Glück, während unserer Flitterwochen im Gold Zanzibar Hotel ein Upgrade auf die Bawe Insel zu erhalten, und was für ein Erlebnis! Das Resort auf der Bawe Insel ist der Inbegriff von Luxus und Entspannung. Von der atemberaubenden Umgebung bis hin zu jedem Detail des Resorts – alles war einfach perfekt. Die Gastfreundschaft war außergewöhnlich. Vom ersten Moment an wurden wir herzlich empfangen und haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir Elizabeth, die super aufmerksame und nette Kellnerin, die uns mit ihrer freundlichen Art und hervorragendem Service jeden Moment versüßt hat. Außerdem möchten wir unserer persönlichen Butlerin Felicia danken, die sich auf perfekte Weise um uns gekümmert hat und dafür sorgte, dass wir uns jederzeit rundum wohl und verwöhnt fühlten. Die Zimmer sind wunderschön eingerichtet, mit einer unglaublichen Aussicht und allem, was man sich wünschen kann, um sich zu entspannen. Das Essen war ebenfalls erstklassig – jede Mahlzeit ein Genuss, und der Service einfach hervorragend. Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Gold Zanzibar Hotel und dem Bawe Insel Resort hat unseren Aufenthalt noch spezieller gemacht, und wir sind sehr dankbar für diese unvergessliche Erfahrung. Es war der perfekte Ort, um unsere Flitterwochen zu feiern, und wir können dieses Resort nur wärmstens empfehlen! Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

This one of the most magical places my family and my myself have ever stayed. When we got to Zanzibar we were on search of a true 5 star resort and Bawe island resort is it!! It’s an absolute stunning resort with a beautiful beach with Seychelles like waters. The pool was amazing. The whole place had a calm tranquil feeling. It’s so clean and well groomed. Our guest Room was gorgeous and decorated so well. The furnishing were beautiful everything was perfect down to the small details. Staff was constantly around to make sure you were always well taken care of. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a resort where I was so well taken care of. It made the vacation. Drinks were some of the best I’ve ever had thanks to Ju. He actually made our stay very fun with all his new cocktails he’d make up for us. Truly great at his job. My 3 boys loved kids camp and the lovely gal who ran it my kids still talk about her and the fact they got to play Fortnite. We also had Asifiwe, who helped us out with alllllll our resort questions and needs thank you Asifiwe. Restaurants were delicious. Everything was a la cart ❤️❤️ Make sure to try the lasagna and pizza at the Italian restaurant we couldn’t get enough. The dinning was always an experience with, singing, dancing, live shows even tapenaki! Everyone was so welcoming and it was such an experience we will never forget it. We are still talking about it. And when friends and family ask me what my favorite part of our 5 week trip was, I always say Bawe island. It’s a must!

Adoriamo viaggiare con Azemar e questa è la loro quarta struttura in cui abbiamo soggiornato. Con Bawe si sono superati, la definizione può risultare scontata ma è veramente un paradiso. Abbiamo apprezzato tutto di questo resort, il solo rumore del mare, la natura, l'intimità, i sorrisi e la cordialità del personale, le meraviglie ville private con vista mozzafiato curate in tutti i dettagli, e infine la ristorazione, davvero di altissimo livello. In ultimo grazie a tutto il meraviglioso staff sempre carino gentile e disponibile, in particolare alla nostra guida MORRIS,nalla nostra vicina di casa SAMUELA, e al responsabile ROBERTO. GRAZIE AZEMAR!
