一直相信貴總是好的,找了這家,總經理一個加拿大女生,傲慢,虛偽,無理的,後來才知道來自北部對華人是極其不友好的,被浴缸龍頭熱水燙傷,竟然被這個女的教育應該如何洗澡,被蚊子咬的滿身包,一路在非洲都沒被咬,要驅蚊劑她們還要收錢,這麼貴的酒店不做驅蚊的?!出去回來還不開門,讓你門口站很久,餐食也是很差的,一個加拿大人生活在非洲這樣的地方,可想而知她奇怪的態度了

We recently stayed here for our honeymoon after the first part of our safari. Upon arrival we were greeted with coconuts and friendly staff members. The resort is intimate in that there are only a few villas, so this is the place to come and unwind and relax in the company of whoever you come with. The grounds of the hotel are immaculate and so picturesque. The villas itself are so beautiful. The villa patio overlooking the ocean and the small plunge pool is perfect. Also you can book snorkeling with the front desk! Just as most of Zanzibar, the tides are very extreme so the low tide has the water out almost a mile out. The small cove of the beach is nice but not necessarily for swimming. But definitely the snorkeling included with the hotel stay was great! The food at this resort was very good. It seems like the chef really cared to create a spectacular menu. Every meal is multi course. The staff really go above and beyond for you. Bernard really wanted to ensure we had the best meal experiences, especially as my husband does not drink alcohol and always tried to find something new for him to drink (he didn't want us having the same mocktail). Drinks may be slower to arrive but its because every ingredient is fresh. The staff will go and juice every fruit in your drink. Time is meant to be slower here so don't worry that is part of the vibe. We felt like every staff member genuinely wanted us to have the best experience and we can say the service was excellent. What a great stay.

Celebrating a Happy Birthday and 25 yr Anniversary at Zawadi Hotel, exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail, friendly and accommodating staff, wonderful food, beautiful sites and calming location made it very special. Zanzibar is magical as is the Zawadi Hotel. Andrew and Janet

My wife and I spent 7 nights at Hotel Zawadi celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary...what a beautiful location and accompanying service to do so! Having spent 7 nights we had the opportunity to test the various reviews and assess the true standard and consistency of service...Zawadi team (from the Resort General Managers, Front of House all the way through to Maintenance team) all didn't disappoint! Every minute of our stay exceeded our expectations, with nothing we asked for being too much of an effort! And the team were exceptionally attentive... Two examples being, it was noticed my wife and I didn't like red onion in our salads so the team ensured future salds came without red onion. On another occasion we wanted to take advantage of the low tide, which happened to be at the same time as breakfast, to go snorkeling. We asked for some food to be put aside for us...instead the team kept us a table and offered us the full breakfast service, and never once did we feel rushed to finish our food. The team even started to notice we quite liked a banana milkshake at around 16h00 so started to serve us a milkshake at the same time every day, when we were lying by the pool, without us having to ask. There are many other things the Zawadi team did to make our stay extra special... So, if you are looking for a special, relaxing, rejuvenating and memorable holiday then don't look any further than Hotel Zawadi...you won't be disappointed! From those we had the fortune of meeting (Pema, Evelyn, Bernard, Iddy, Ally, Alan, Hamad, Innocent, Raza, Mabula) to those we didn't get to meet but who made our stay extra special and memorable - Asante sana!

My wife and I stayed at Zawadi for 5 nights from the 25th-30th November this year and it was nothing short of spectacular. The villa was amazing, everything looked and felt new and it was always kept immaculately clean. The staff are amazing, eveyone knew our names and impressively quickly knew our preferences for food and drinks - Bernard, innocent, Ally, Raza and everyone else we met really made our stay special. The food is unbelievable, high end fine dining and surely chasing a Michelin star. The lunch and dinner menus changed daily and I only wish I could have eaten more! If you are looking for somewhere to stay I cannot recommend Zawadi enough, our only mistake - is that we didn’t stay longer. We will return. Stuart & Caroline

From the moment you walk in until your tearful departure, it's the experience of a lifetime. We had an incredible honeymoon. 7 nights of total bliss, relaxation, food, drink, smiles, laughs, swims, naps and cocktails. Definitely the best holiday experience we've ever had. We will be back. Special shout out to Alli, Innocent, Peter, Bernard, Hamad, Raza, Mabula, Isaac, Dez and all the fantastic chefs and housekeeping team for always making sure we felt so welcome, so entertained and so fed!
