Top Unguja North Region Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely first class holiday and resort. Food was exceptionally good, both in the a La Carte restaurants and the buffet, grounds were immaculate, staff were friendly and warm. The pool areas and raised beach were fabulous. If you had a question or needed help with something, dial 9 and reception staff sorted it without ever needing to leave your room. Without doubt one of our best holidays ever and we will be going back next year without a doubt. The only note of caution would relate to disabled or elderly clients, the resort is well advertised as large and sprawling and dotted around a hillside, so walking about for some might be difficult. We loved with Island and would rate this holiday overall as a 10/10!"

Melia Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at this resort was absolutely amazing! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality, professional service, and a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were luxurious, clean, and comfortable, with excellent attention to detail. The food was delicious, the facilities were outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure every moment was special. The resort offers the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a world-class getaway. Truly a five-star experience, and I would definitely love to return!"

Alladin Beach Hotel and SPA Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"A Wonderful Place to Relax and Experience Zanzibar! I spent five nights at Alladin Beach Resort following my Kilimanjaro climb, and it was a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Zanzibar. The setting is beautiful, with stunning views of the Indian Ocean and spectacular sunrises. I loved starting my mornings with a coffee, watching the sun come up and taking in the peaceful surroundings. What really made my stay special, though, was the people. The staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely attentive. A special mention to Farah, the bartender, who went out of his way to make me a special drink. Those little personal touches make such a difference. The resort provided a lovely balance of relaxation and opportunities to explore. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the ocean views and the chance to experience a little of the local culture beyond the hotel. After nine days climbing Kilimanjaro, Alladin was exactly the kind of place I needed to recharge. I left with wonderful memories, and I would happily return. Asante sana to everyone at Alladin Beach Resort!"

Sunshine Marine Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The eco-friendly resort is a little gem. The cuisine is varied and excellent—even by Italian standards—with an outstanding breakfast offering both sweet and savory options. The air-conditioned bungalows, equipped with mosquito nets, were serviced multiple times a day, including the spraying of mosquito repellent.Efficient and very friendly staff.Top-notch security. A quiet, secluded location. The resort is connected to two other properties under the same ownership, featuring long beaches to explore and two additional restaurants.Highly recommended"

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
