This hotel was exceptional!!
We truly enjoyed our stay as a family of 5, the hotel grounds were breath-taking. To be honest, we couldn’t make much use of the private pool as water was cold.
The staff were super friendly.
Breakfast options were good, dinner options not as great.
Beware of the monkeys as they can sneak in if doors are left unlocked.
Would definitely stay there again!

Odalar ***et güzel ve konforlu. Hizmet çok iyi. Personel çok ilgili ve güleryüzlü. Sinek ve böceklerle ilgili dikkatli olunmalı.

Je suis une voyageuse solo et je cherchais un hôtel où me reposer après mes folles escales dans tout Zanzibar. Toute l’équipe de l’hôtel a été aux petits soins avec moi. Je n’ai manqué de rien. La chambre était spacieuse et magnifique avec la piscine et le petit jardin. Le domaine est très boisé ce qui fait que vous pouvez croiser des petits animaux sympathiques. Encore merci à toute l’équipe de l’hôtel The Résidence pour tout le soin apporté à mon séjour.

One of the most incredible experiences of my life, highly recommended. We live a dream come true. The villas are spacious, incredibly comfortable, and incredibly quiet. The hotel organizes excursions throughout the island with complete assurance. The food is amazing, and they change it every day. A 10/10

Absolutely stunning hotel. Right in the forest surrounded by troops of monkeys. The views the hotel ans the grounds are gorgeous. All the meals were lovely. Drinks were great, but top shelf were extra. The rooms were massive and staff kept them spotlessly clean.

We were a party of 4 staying in 2 of the garden villas. It was a truly memorable and enjoyable stay and everything about The Residence was amazing, especially the staff. I’d especially like to mention Edson, Mary and Clement but there were many more who contributed to a wonderful stay. The villas were immaculate with private pools, the food was excellent and the location beside the sea was fabulous.
