🌴 A True Golden Paradise — Our 50th Wedding Celebration 🌴 We stayed at Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa to celebrate our upcoming Golden Wedding Anniversary, and it was one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. Everything about this place is pure perfection — a wide white-sand beach, crystal-clear water, and an impeccably maintained resort. The staff are warm, kind, and attentive, always nearby but never intrusive. The food is exceptional, fresh, and full of flavor, and drinks are served wherever you wish — by the pool, on the beach, or right on your villa terrace. When the hotel management learned that we had booked a seaside dinner to celebrate our 50 years together, they surprised us with an unforgettable gift — an upgrade to the best villa in the resort, located right on the oceanfront with a private pool. During dinner, the restaurant team sang and brought us a beautiful anniversary cake, made especially for us. It was an incredibly emotional and joyful moment that we will never forget. We also felt completely safe and cared for, even during the post-election period when there were some concerns in the media. The hotel’s security and professionalism made us feel perfectly protected and relaxed at all times. We have traveled a lot around the world, but nowhere else have we experienced such genuine hospitality, generosity, and warmth. If you are looking for peace, perfect service, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and the feeling of being truly cared for — Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa is the place to be. 💛 Steponas & Nijolė from Lithuania Room: Villa 603 | Stay: October–November 2025

The staff was very professional, efficient, and helpful. Almost every member of the staff was able to communicate in several languages, especially english and italian. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The high-quality buffet was incredibly rich and able to satisfy different tastes. We appreciated the animation inside the resort, which was very discreet and not too pushy. A special mention to Marika and Francesca from Azemar for their professionalism. A couple of notes for improvement: The pictures shown on the website are four years old, as confirmed by some staff memebers, and do not show that the beach is overcrowded by locals, therefore privacy is limited. Also, in recent weeks Tanzanian government set inflatables for kids right in front of the hotel's beach, forcing customers to swim elsewhere.

Heaven on earth! Could not recommend more highly. The staff were absolutely the highlight. But really, every aspect was perfect - the beach, the food, the accommodation. Phenomenal. My husband and I stayed at Gold Zanzibar for our honeymoon for 4 nights in July. There aren't sufficient words to express how incredible our stay was. As soon as we entered the reception (this amazing, tall wooden thatched structure), we were greeted by numerous staff, offered a delicious complimentary drink and given a room upgrade to a Suite Pavilion, just steps from the gorgeous pool and then the ocean. When we got to our room, we were greeted with a bottle of champagne and a large, beautiful tropical fruit bowl. The food was INCREDIBLE and the range of options was truly breath taking. Each night there was a different 'theme' - our first night the buffet dinner was jungle-themed on the beach. And another night we got a complimentary romantic dinner at their Gold restaurant as a honeymoon gift, also seated on the beach. Big shoutout to the warm and generous staff, in particular: Ali (grounds keeper & gardener; thank you for my gorgeous palm front flower crown and the fresh coconuts. We were sorry to miss saying goodbye on our last day); Issa (Gold's hype man and all round great guy); Ibrahim (kindest chef who made us roti and packed us curries to-go on our last day). P.S. I've seen some reviews talking about seaweed on the beach and the smell. We experienced no such seaweed on the beach nor any unpleasant smell. The beach was absolutely stunning - white sand, warm water, and plenty of space to walk / wander.

All around pretty good hotel. The rooms are nicely designed, spacious and well laid-out. Buffet is great, and it’s nice they put on a show every night. Unfortunately some things could be improved; - chips/cracks in the bathtub - service at the pool is virtually nonexistent - cocktails are expensive and mostly all taste bad - bed is quite firm and hard

Our stay at Gold Zanzibar was nothing short of spectacular. As soon as we arrived we were immediately greeted and made to feel at home. In celebration of our honeymoon we were upgraded to a beautiful villa with private pool and butler service - very comfortable and clean accommodation. The amenities including pool, spa, beach and bars were all fantastic. We were also amazed by the food, with so many options and the quality was remarkable, all very fresh, the best pasta we’ve had outside of Italy, great local cuisine too. But what stood out the most was the absolutely amazing service. Every single member of hotel staff went above and beyond to greet us at every opportunity, make us feel at home, offer us anything we could wish for and just engage in conversation; they seemed genuinely interested in getting to know us. We are fortunate to stay at nice hotels around the world and the staff and service at Gold stand out as the very best we have ever experienced and by a very long way. We enjoyed complimentary sunset cruise on our final night for which we are very grateful. The occasional complimentary food and drink with bills showing ‘zero’ against each item, also a very generous touch. I would not hesitate to recommend Gold to anyone looking for accommodation in Zanzibar - furthermore, I would even encourage people to stay at Gold simply to see how the very best of hotels can and should be. I could not think of a single thing that could have been better or different. Thank you for an incredible experience.
