"Tulia is truly a amazing hotel that goes long over expectation. Everything from the lovely garden, to the farm where the grow all vegetables to the food, the beautiful setting and design of the hotel, ocean views, coctails, nice spa, free sups and cayaks and sailing, to the most friendly staffs and great service from the first minute you arrive until you check out. It is a truly gem! I rarely give a 5, but Tulia is one of a kind! "

"There is a lot to say about this wonderful property and experience, but first things first. The STAFF is genuinely delightful. Upendo, Ireen, everyone at the breakfast service or Dixon in reception, to name a few, relentless in being helpful and kind. Everything is top notch and there is this absolutely original tour that we loved, where you visit all the inner parts of how the resort is organized from within. You have the chance to physically visit the dedicated offices for finance, procurement, logistics, laundry, staff's canteen, dynamics of the different restaurants, etc. etc. The FOOD it delicious from the variety at breakfast to the grilled fish/seafood or to the Italian pastas. The FACILITIES are unique with a practically private beach, loungers, pools, gym, sports grounds. The ACTIVITIES that make us feel that we are in sporting holidays liaising with other guests playing sports if you fancy movement at times, beside the relaxing sunny beach. Could probably elaborate more and more but in summary, it's a 10 out of 10 Holiday time!"

"The food, the service and the amenities were very good. It is a beautiful property and the staff are so helpful. There was some noise from the construction next door but we didn’t really notice it very much. The company running the diving and snorkeling excursions on the property were very organized and professional. There was entertainment 2 of the 4 nights we stayed. The Italian dinner night on the beach with dancing on Saturday night was a nice treat and the acrobats on the Friday night was great entertainment. "

"We had a great stay and a wonderful time at J.B.R. The property is well kept, cozy and very pretty; our room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The restaurant is excellent! The service is a little slow (no issue for us), the staff is friendly, the food is delicious and not expensive. Cherry on the cake: 1. We loved the shampoo & body wash offered by the resort; 2. The live band on Wednesday was a great surprise and so much fun! "

"Very nice, quiet place with a lovely beach and excellent staff. Very good food, too."

"This place is far from the airport but the overwater villas are magnificent if you want peace and quiet- great service and staff with views that will take your breath away."

"Perfect stay"

"By far the best hotel in Zanzibar on the beach. Incredible villas, impeccable service start to finish. Angela and Nash went out of their way as did the rest of the staff. For an upscale, all inclusive boutique experience this is your place. It’s near noisy Paje so you can get rowdy if you choose. Also lots of food options in Paje if you don’t feel like dining at the property. "

"Zoi is a very special property that feels like a luxurious home away from home. While the property is gorgeous and wonderful, it is the people that make it exceptional. The genuine kindness and desire to make your stay absolutely wonderful are memories that will stay with me forever. I will truly miss the lovely people I met at Zoi. Nice, the receptionist, goes out of her way constantly to make sure you are totally happy with your stay at Zoi. I assumed she was the manager, that is how good she is! She was handling everything as if she were the manager, from scheduling to problem solving water pressure issues to making change to overseeing staff to well, I can't think of anything she wasn't up for handling! The lovely girls who take care of the rooms make up the bed everyday with the most lovely designs using flowers and towels! It's those little extra special touches! The restaurant has wonderful food and plenty of it! The menu changes daily, although they have some staples as well. Jean, the chef, is amazing. The wait staff are so attentive but not overbearing at all. You can linger as long as you like with that beautiful ocean view. I especially enjoyed talking to Neema, she was just the sweetest! My only issue had nothing to do with the hotel, but the beach out front. It is not a great swimming beach because of the sea urchins (though you can wear shoes) and the tides are tricky. It's certainly beautiful though and makes for the most spectacular sunrises."
