This beautiful boutique hotel offers high-quality food, a wonderful atmosphere, and beautifully appointed rooms. The beach features soft white sand( same is Mexico)and is impeccably clean. The ocean and pool waters are always warm, thanks to the pleasant local climate. The spa is exceptional, with highly skilled professionals providing top-notch massage and facial treatments. The staff is incredibly friendly, offering excellent customer service. The hotel is ideal for adults, with fewer children around, though there is a small playground both indoors and outdoors, there are moving night on the beach for kids and adult, along with craft and cooking activities for younger guests and the hotel is offering hourly nany for $20USD. The only downside is that the hotel is about an hour’s drive from the airport. Overall, it’s a peaceful and highly enjoyable experience.

A beautiful hotel with a stunning location, peaceful atmosphere, and exceptional service. The staff is incredibly warm and attentive – a special thanks to Paloma for her outstanding efforts, which made our (extended) stay unforgettable. Also a perfect spot for divers and kite surfers. Highly recommended!

I’m only writing this review to highlight Abdul from the restaurant. My husband and I visited this resort for the first time and he was the one to take care of us the first day. His energy was so amazing. It’s very refreshing to meet someone so genuine and kind. We loved him so much we wanted to see him again the next day. Abdul is a huge asset and such a positive vibe to this hotel. Wonderful wonderful human!!! 🤍🤍🤍

Our recent stay at LUX Marijani, Zanzibar left much to be desired. The food was a major disappointment. The menu offered limited choices, and the quality of the dishes we tried was inconsistent and often underwhelming. To make matters worse, the dining experience was further marred by the sight of some employees beginning their own breakfast alongside guests, even before some guests had received their coffee. The service throughout our stay was frustratingly slow. We frequently encountered long waits for drinks, meals, and even basic requests. This significantly impacted our overall enjoyment and relaxation. To add insult to injury, we encountered a rude employee at the pool bar. His demeanor and service were unprofessional and detracted from the otherwise pleasant poolside atmosphere. Overall, our expectations for a luxury stay were not met. The combination of poor food, slow service, and the unprofessional behavior of some staff members left us with a negative impression of LUX Marijani, Zanzibar. We would not recommend this hotel to other travelers if they are looking for 5 stars experience. This is more 3-4 stars hotel.

Truly excellent hotel on beautiful beach. Superb gardens, interesting moorish architecture combined with super location. Well appointed, large bedroom with high quality bathroom and nice balcony; Ocean view a good value upgrade. Staff are friendly and professional, it's refreshing to see the general manager working at the coal-face. Stand out employee was Ally, an exceptional waiter who anticipated our every need. Special mention to Hassan, who made the thinnest crepes, Stella, Glory, Pemdo. Don't hesitate book! .

Sea Cliff Resort is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning sea views that stretch endlessly across the horizon. The resort’s location atop a cliff provides breathtaking panoramas, especially at sunrise and sunset – truly unforgettable. The landscaping is immaculate, with lush, well-maintained gardens that create a tranquil and tropical ambiance. Every corner of the property feels like a private paradise, with palm-lined paths, vibrant flowers, and inviting spaces to relax. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect. The rooms are beautifully designed, blending comfort with elegance, and many offer direct views of the ocean – waking up to that view was a dream come true. The on-site amenities, including the infinity pool overlooking the sea, added to the luxurious experience. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, Sea Cliff Resort is the perfect getaway. Highly recommend – 5 stars all the way!

Beautiful resort, the rooms were comfortable however, the bidet tap in the bathroom leaked throughout our 2 week stay. The rooms were cleaned later and later every morning at one point the room was only cleaned after 12h30. Staff was always very friendly and helpful however during meal times staff was a bit slow. Food was always excellent. Overall we had a wonderful experience at the resort.

Sea Cliff Resort and Spa is a beautiful hotel located in a quiet area. If you are looking for peace and serenity, this is the perfect retreat. The Staff: The staff members are very polite, always ensuring that you get assistance. They make you feel welcomed and teach you greetings in their local language. Upon arrival, you receive a cooling face towel and fresh juice before receiving an access card for your room. The room: We entered the room that was beautifully decorated with a welcome greeting and a picturesque balcony with a sea view. The room was comfortable and a short walk to the pool and restaurant. Pools: There are two infinity pools and one baby pool. The infinity pools have spectacular views of the ocean and jetty. The jetty offers a deck for seating, a bar and direct access to the ocean for swimming. Activities: There are numerous free activities the resort offers including mini golf, table tennis, tennis, basketball, darts and foosball. There is access to a private beach (a 10 minute walk or you can request a ride with a golf cart) that has free kayaking. Water activities and horse riding are available at an additional cost. There are books and board games that are free for your entertainment as well. Activities outside of the resort are a bit far to travel to however the peace and quiet of the resort make the travel time well worth it. Food: Breakfast and dinner were delicious with a variety of options to choose from. The dinner theme is always different each night making it something to look forward to. There's also entertainment each night which contributes towards a lively atmosphere. Recommendation: I highly recommend this hotel for couples and people looking for a quiet retreat.

We had a very pleasant vacation at the Mora! We are so gratefull for the services. We can recommend the hotel to others. Our room was cleaned every day! We appreciate the silent cinema. At the pool the stuff offer us cold towels and drinks (ice tea was really good) and fresh fruits.

Fevu Kebede

The hotel was an absolute paradise. We loved every bit of the Mora, from staff to service to the pool everything was amazing. Eclipse bar especially was the best, everyone that works at eclipse was very friendly and helpful. Such an amazing time and I would absolutely recommend this place, I would like to come back myself.

A Wonderful Family Getaway in Paradise Our stay at this beautiful hotel on Zanzibar was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with incredible hospitality that set the tone for our entire vacation. The staff’s kindness, attentiveness, and dedication to ensuring guests feel at home truly stood out throughout our stay. The variety of restaurants within the hotel allowed us to experience a delightful range of culinary specialties — each meal was a treat for the senses, offering something unique and delicious. What made our experience particularly unforgettable, however, were the wonderful people we encountered — both the staff and the locals. Their warmth, genuine friendliness, and willingness to go above and beyond made our trip incredibly special. We traveled as a family — my husband, our one-and-a-half-year-old son, and myself — and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The hotel was perfectly suited for families, providing comfort, convenience, and a relaxing atmosphere that made us feel completely at ease. We are truly grateful for the unforgettable memories we’ve made here and can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a remarkable stay on Zanzibar. Thank you for making our vacation so perfect!

We had a 13 day stay at The Mora. Both the hospitable welcome and the breathtaking atmosphere made us arrive right in the first moment. Everyone, whether security, bartender, cleaning or employee, greets you with respect and good humor. The food is upscale and the drinks taste very good. The selection should also satisfy everyone. Everything is a bit more extensive, which we find positive, because you are not bored even over a longer period of time. Particularly noteworthy is the cleanliness in this resort. Tabita receives our special thanks. We have never had such a friendly and accommodating waitress and we will miss her very much!

Marco Zomer

Dear Mora Team, Dear Laura, From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank your entire team for our wonderful vacation. What a friendly team you guys have. The boys loved it, as did I. May I emphasize that the service is great, the food outstanding and the resort feels like paradise. Hopefully we may and can come back again. Kr. Marco

I had an incredible experience at Gold Hotel in Zanzibar! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. I worked with Anthony, who did a phenomenal job organizing a private beach dinner—every detail was perfect. Our server, Alloycia, was exceptional, ensuring my guest and I were comfortable and never without anything we needed. The property itself is stunning and expansive, with so much to offer. After our beautiful dinner on the beach, we danced on the sand with the DJ and enjoyed a live performance by the pool. The atmosphere was vibrant, the food was delicious, and the location is simply perfect. I can’t recommend Gold Hotel enough! Whether you’re looking for a luxurious stay in Zanzibar or a romantic private dining experience, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back!

We had the pleasure of spending our Christmas holidays at Gold Zanzibar, and it was nothing short of spectacular. This hotel is a gem in a breathtaking location, set on what is arguably the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the functional management and the attentive, responsive staff. The team was both friendly and professional, always going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. Special thanks to Nicole, Salim, Hadidja, and the rest of the team for their exceptional hospitality! The food options were simply outstanding—high quality, diverse, and impeccably managed. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every meal was a delight. The entertainment was perfectly balanced—enjoyable without being overbearing. One of the highlights of our stay was being upgraded to a villa. It was spacious, luxurious, and offered an unforgettable experience. The overall quality of the hotel is truly five-star, from the accommodations to the amenities. If you’re planning a trip to Zanzibar, look no further than Gold Zanzibar. It’s a paradise in every sense of the word. We can’t wait to return!

We spent 8 days in this place which is good not exceptional. Why? Failing communication and technical problems (air conditioning, bulb out of order..) The paths are steep and not necessarily suitable for people with physical problems. On the other hand, the staff is wonderful and particularly Joseph ; this waiter is so charming, kinder, polite and humble. He was very caring about us. He is an asset for the hotel. Thanks for good service

Antonella Migliore

We had a wonderful dinner at Gold of Zanzibar Resort, and it was truly a highlight of my stay. The dining atmosphere was lovely, with beautiful views of the ocean that created a perfect setting for a relaxing evening. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. They really went out of their way to provide excellent service. The food was delicious, showcasing a blend of local flavors and international cuisine. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. To top it all off, the entertainment was fantastic! The show added a special touch to the evening, making it not just a meal, but a memorable experience. I highly recommend enjoying dinner at Gold of Zanzibar Resort for anyone visiting.

We resided from January 18 to 22, 2025 at The Gold Hotel. A splendid hotel with an ideal location with little tide. The rooms, green spaces, swimming pool, beach are magnificent. The staff is very competent, pleasant, smiling and anticipates customer needs with kindness and professionalism. The Service is of impeccable quality. Nicole and the hotel teams are attentive. Very responsive to solving problems with efficiency, kindness and strength of suggestions so that your stay is wonderful. On the buffet and restaurant side, Warren, Koi and Sunil, the 3 Mauritian chefs of the hotel are talented and creative with an innate sense of welcome, kindness and communication. They have a passion for gastronomy and treated us to good dishes based on lobster and fish. The last dinner on the beach was prepared by Warren with great imagination and generosity. For us, this stay at the Gold hotel remains a wonderful moment of relaxation and joy. Rose & Thierry C.

My husband and I stayed nearby for a week. During this time, we visited the Island twice. The first time, we came for the ‘day leisure package’. Which meant we spent the full day there as guests. We walked across as it was low tide and we were greeted by the most friendly staff and a fresh coconut to drink too. We were shown around the island and settled by the pool to relax. The package also included a 3 course lunch with wine, which was absolutely delightful and so delicious. We stayed until late afternoon and had the best day 😊 We visited again for dinner one evening - this time it was high tide so needed a boat to get us across which was lovely. We had a gorgeous dinner with sangria and played uno (they have multiple games in their reception area). Again, the staff and service were impeccable and the food was divine. Thank you, we had a wonderful time and will surely recommend to others travelling to Zanzibar! 😊

I did not stay at the hotel but came for a solo lunch on a weekday. The booking was easily made via WhatsApp, the team was very welcoming and made sure to give me all of the information to access the island easily at low tide. Their focus is on quiet and discretion and I will make sure to book one of their 6 villas with private pool for my next trip. Extra points for the adorable kitten roaming around the sand paths (and the staff for keeping it to use it as a litter box 😂). The view from the restaurant is breathtaking. Lunch took a couple hours but it’s to be expected when they went to fish my sea urchin while I had a cocktail and ice cold sparkling water. The staff made sure I was aware of the delay and was very nice and attentive. I got to enjoy the panoramic view of the ocean and breeze on a hot and sunny day. I would highly recommend their restaurant as a treat, yes it’s more expensive than most spots in Zanzibar, as a luxury treat it’s totally worth it.

If you want to eat good food in a restaurant on a rock in the middle of the sea, go here. 'The Rock' restaurant at Paje beach is more famous, but this is both bigger and better. You can even rent rooms here. The food is a bit pricey, but not by much compared with others. The food is great and the service is excellent and the view is just awesome...Very highly recommended 😋🍸🍺🍽️❤️

Manny Human

The Starter was amazing. See the pictures.. This is the Octapus Mediterranean. However the Lobster Tail (main) almost the most expensive meal on the menu, was a big disappointment. The photos that the resort advertised is misleading. I received a very small tail, ONE (more a crayfish tail than lobster tail.) very disappointed.....

Tiffany L

What can I say but this was 10 out of 10. I couldn’t ask for a better experience to welcome me into the 40s club. Franck, Regina and the entire staff was absolutely a delight. From the minute we arrived The staff truly was nothing but extraordinary. Regina immediately knew what we needed to begin our day and she delivered. From the espresso martini to the sangrias and food everything was so perfect. We also participated in the full body massage with Aaisha and let me tell you her hands was sent from heaven above. To be able to swim in the middle of the ocean and walk through it was an experience of its own. I absolutely hope anyone and everyone who has an opportunity to visit ZANZIBAR makes there way to the island. Worth EVERY PENNY AND WHAT A MEMORABLE MOMENT IT WAS.
