I Be
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 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 recently spent 12 days at Gold Zanzibar, and from start to finish, it was nothing short of bliss.
Rooms & Service
The rooms are spacious, luxurious, and immaculately maintained, with housekeeping visiting two to three times a day to ensure everything is perfect. A special mention to the incredible butlers – Ashanti, Kahjib, and Salim – who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Their attentiveness, warmth, and ability to anticipate our needs truly elevated the experience.
Dining
The Kilimanjaro buffet restaurant is exceptional. Calling it a buffet hardly does it justice—it's a collection of live cooking stations, where everything is prepared fresh before your eyes. The variety and quality of food are outstanding, and the waiter service is just as impressive.
We also dined at the à la carte restaurant and enjoyed an unforgettable beachfront dinner, both of which were absolutely sublime. Every meal was an experience in itself, combining fresh, high-quality ingredients with impeccable presentation.
Entertainment & Atmosphere
The entertainment at the resort is subtle, classy, and perfectly suited to the relaxed atmosphere. The live music was fantastic, and we have to give a big shoutout to Diana for her incredible performances.
The beach is straight out of a postcard, with soft white sand and breathtaking turquoise waters. Just be mindful at low tide, as some rocks are exposed with sea urchins on them.
For those looking for a more lively evening, you can head next door to Kendwa Rocks, where the beach parties are fantastic, and drinks are very reasonably priced. It’s the perfect balance of relaxation and fun.
Final Thoughts
This was easily one of the best holidays we’ve ever had, and we’ve traveled extensively around the world. Gold Zanzibar offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and authenticity, making it an unforgettable escape. Highly recommended!

The Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa is a true earthly paradise located on the stunning Kendwa beach. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations on the island, it boasts incredible sunsets unaffected by low tide. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who did everything possible to make us feel at home. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and equipped with every comfort necessary for a relaxing stay.
The quality and variety of the food are exceptional, with themed buffets that change throughout the week, always offering delightful culinary surprises. Dinners by the pool, accompanied by pleasant live music and candlelit tables, create an enchanting atmosphere. The entire team, from the waitstaff to the chefs, is top-notch and highly professional. Our heartfelt thanks go to Lucy, Sasha, and Cecilia from the dining team, and to Mohamedi, Othuman, Ibrahim Asad, and Fabian, from the kitchen staff, all expertly coordinated by the head chef.
The private beach is a dream: fine white sand, crystal-clear waters, and comfortable loungers. The space is so generous it almost feels like having the beach to yourself. The beach staff is attentive and helpful, ensuring that every guest has everything they need to fully enjoy the sun and sea. A big thank you to Joseph, always ready to bring us refreshing drinks.
A special thanks goes to the General Manager, Roberto, for his constant presence and impeccable management of the resort—a person who truly makes a difference.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the Azemar representatives on-site for their professionalism and attention to detail, which made our vacation unforgettable. Thank you, Nicole and Ramses—we love you!
We highly recommend the Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa to anyone looking to experience luxury and relaxation in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

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
