The place to be in Zanzibar
A nice and comfortable place to stay. Food, bar and service was amazing. Beach was perfect. Beautiful location and very relaxing. Pity about the tide going so far back during low tide. Makes swimming during the late morning and early afternoon very limited. Too many hawkers who follow you around on the beach trying to convince you to do a tour or an activity. Makes beach walks very unpleasant. But the place, bars, restuarants and Friday beach party makes for a wonderful beach getaway.

We spent an excellent time in Waikiki resort. Staff is very attentive and careful, hotel is very comfortable and well situated and the food at the restaurant very good. The only bad point would be the mattress a little bit too soft for our preference.

The property is truly stunning! Beach is even better when you see it in person, one of the best beaches I have ever seen. Not to many people at the hotel so nice and peaceful. The room was very cosy and the porch was nice to chill on. The staff are amazing, very friendly with great service. Management checked in with us daily which is a very nice touch. Was welcomed on arrival with cold towel and drink. Half board very good value for money aswell, for the price paid it is very good. Breakfast is small but you can add more at small price, again this is included in price of half board and 3 courses at dinner it really is good value for what you get. For a 3 star hotel i would say service and food is 5 star. If i wanted food or drink they was happy to bring to my terrace. Wasn't expecting entertainment but there was 3 nights when we had a show at dinner so nice surprise for us! I would definately come back and recommend to friends and family.

Great location and reasonably priced. The proximity to the beach is great. There isn't much to do outside of the resort (immediate proximity) so as long as you are ok with the beautiful ocean and beach you should be ok for short stay.
