You get what you pay for, an economical resort, the exclusive beach is ugly, you can only see the jelly sea at high tide around 2pm, the massage is 170 RMB per hour, if you tip, you can unlock the happy ending, the food is average but the price is as low as the farmhouse in Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, the service is very good in black Africa, it is only six kilometers to the lonely restaurant, but it costs 200 RMB to take a taxi, because this place is too remote, it takes a long way to drive from the city, and the car is still empty when going back, most of the guests are hairy Chinese, there are also local rich black people, few Chinese come to live here
The idea itself is good, but the management is not organized. The reception and cafe are terribly outdated. The pool needs to be updated. The situation in the room is better, but there are stains on the walls, furniture damaged by floods and curtains that do not close (they need to be rolled up and wrapped with tape in the middle.

Beautiful sunset, good bar & meals, Amazing facility (literally everywhere is more than great) and nice hospitality. I should have booked here at least 3 nights. If you want to stay near famous beaches, then tourist attractions are not in walking distance, but you dont even need to go, staying in this resort is perfect enough. GOOD VIBE!!
Nice hotel in general poor reception service otherwise the rest restaurant bar very good service. I was all inclusive but many things had to be paid for.

This hotel is the best…I won’t even lie
My sister and I had a very good time,good food,staff were so lovely ,everything was on point
This place feels like home …and the location is very good …We made the best choice and we are recommending to all our loved ones coming to Zanzibar and even those reading the reviews…you will love it trust me 100%
My stay at Samawa Living was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I arrived, I felt an incredible sense of warmth and care from the staff. As a solo traveller, I was made to feel so safe and seen, which made the experience even more special. It truly felt like a home away from home.
I’d like to give a special thanks to Kadogo, Hashimu, Baby, Asha, and the rest of the amazing team who went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. Their genuine kindness and attentive service stood out in every interaction.
The location of the hotel was perfect – close to the iconic Paje Beach, with convenient access via buggy, so I could enjoy the beauty of the area while still retreating to the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the hotel. The boho vibes of Samawa Living were stunning, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a cosy and serene environment.
From the delicious meals to the immaculate rooms and tranquil ambience, everything about Samawa Living exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to return! If you’re looking for a safe, stylish, and welcoming place to stay in the Paje area, I highly recommend it.

Very Good
AAbderrahmaneIt’s a very nice hotel nice location. Food is great at the restaurant. The room is very clean but there was little hot water so we couldn’t fill the bathtub. The service needs to be enhanced, we arrived but no one there to take the luggage so I had to carry them. The cleaning lady came to our room an hour before the check out time and she put her cleaning stuff in our terrace. Jembe the pool boy was very friendly he showed us around the hotel and took some good photos for me and my wife.

GGuest UserThis 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.
AAbdullahi JamiluIt’s my first time in Zanzibar, I spent two nights at this hotel and a night in another hotel, all I can say is that this hotel is wonderful, rooms are clean, food is nice and above all the staffs are lovely, very friendly and helpful, I’ve been to many hotels in different countries but I can give a high thumb for the staffs of Toa hotel, The General Manager, Lucas that received me upon arrival and the best of all The Front Desk Manager ESTHER, thanks a lot for the hibiscus Juice the day I arrived and the last cup you gave me before I leave, you never knew but it’s my best and I’ll come back for it again in sha Allah.
You gave me free wine lucky I don’t drink alcohol I had to return it back to you, thank you so much and I’ll recommend thousands to use your hotel if I have to and I’m sure you’ll never let them down.
All the best TOA HOTELS AND SPA.
OOkuhleAbsolutely loved our stay at Kwanza, my mom and I had the best time. We were greeted by Caroline who always had a smile. Lucky was so jolly and helpful with our bags. Ahamed was always ready to assist with any and everything. The rooms were spacious and clean though there was a day where housekeeping forgot to come and spray the mosquito repellent. We had the best spa day and would highly recommend the full package. The food was exceptional and plentiful, we got the all inclusive package so we had all meals served and would recommend that as the resort is located far from other places. The bar service though needs improving as they were slow because there was only one server per bar but the cocktails were great!! I had forgotten my phone at one of the bathrooms and it was returned to me before I even noticed so the place is very safe.
GGuest UserThis hotel deserves special attention, especially for those who would like to have a premium vacation, but are limited in budget.
The villas are luxurious, spacious, all privately located with a garden and private pool. You can't see or hear your neighbors. It reminds me of the Maldives, only there such rooms cost thousands of dollars.
The territory is large, well-groomed, very clean, it is pleasant to walk along it, those who take care of it deserve a gold medal.
The hotel security in the form of Masai warriors is very unusual, it adds its own twist.
Panoramic open-air restaurant. The views are stunning.
The beach is clean, private, there is no one except hotel guests, the sand is white and soft. The ocean is clean. The time of the ebb and flow of the tide is convenient. The tides are early in the morning and after lunch, when the sun is no longer aggressive.
Perhaps there is not such a variety in the choice of dishes, but it is delicious. Freshly squeezed juices for breakfast. The staff may not be as well trained, but this is reflected in the price. And still, a big thank you to them. I really liked it and highly recommend it.
GGuest UserGreat and timely service.
Friendly staff. Special mention to Innocent (Reception) and Geoffrey (Dinning area)
Beautiful private beach
😔 Distance from the airport.
Room lacked vanity kit (Toothpaste, toothbrush, shower cap)
All in all, great place, worth the time and money. Will come again.
Rating - Strong 8.5/10
JJacqueline KarikariI 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.
