This place is paradise. It feels like heaven. I came here for my birthday, solo, and it has been the most rewarding! The place is quiet, great views from my room (310) little piece of heaven. 310 has my heart and I’ll surely be back. Next time, not alone. The staff are wonderful and kind; Frank at the reception, Sabrina ensured my room was always clean, Yunus at the front office, Mr Anthony, the guy who gave me golf cart rides to my room at night, amazing waiters and waitresses. Karafuu Beach Resort and SPA, you have my heart. I felt welcome, safe, cared for, I have been given attention, I am a happy girl 💕💕

Good location, but a little bit a tourist factory with high level prices for Zanzibar. Tennis court are absolutely not are they show on their website. Rooms (especially mine in front of the sea) was very nice, with a good sea ambiance. Restaurant was good, not especially a good or a bad point but you need to pay your bottle of water when you have a dinner. For the price it’s a little bit stingy… My opinion.

We are family of four that stayed in this resort for a week. Our rooms were new with all the facilities, including air condition, ceiling fan and little refrigirator. Staff is friendly and will do everything it can to fulfill your wishes. Breakfast is good and everybody will find something to eat. Adjacent beach is beautiful. Resort is a little bit isolated hence it takes a long ride to get to Island attractions.

My stay was absolutely delightful! I received an exceptional and warm welcome, especially from Ali among the waiters—his hospitality truly stood out. The bartenders, Fidelis and Ramadhan, were phenomenal—such rare gems in service, making every moment memorable. I’d also like to extend special thanks to Andrew as well and the entire team for their outstanding service. I’m already looking forward to returning for another unforgettable experience!

Thanks to Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa I will always look back at Zanzibar with a smile. The hotel is location was perfect in my opinion. beautiful beach looking eastward to the ocean with turquoise water that blends breathtakingly with the sand and pine trees. The hotel is not that far from the airport and is relatively close to the main attractions. The crew is amazingly kind with smiles all around, trying their best to speak to me in my native language as much as possible. The pools are fun, the gym equipment is brand new and there tennis courts. The Scuba Diving team took me on a great scuba session and I've got to see quite a lot. I had a great massage at the spa. Thanks to the excursions team we received the best safari experience I could ever imagine and also a great trip to Salaam Cave. I (24) came with my parents (50) and brother (18) and we had a great time. Few important notes: The hotel was built in the 70's, it's maintained well but don't expect brand modernity Zanzibar is a low-resources island which means the food in the hotel is good but limited, it isn't gourmet. We arrived during the low season so the hotel was at 20% capacity, because of that there weren't a lot of staff (not that we needed more), there were some constructions and the some areas in the hotel felt abandoned. The weather was perfect though, just some rain but mostly sunny. Several crew members I'd like to positively point out: Dennis, Julio, Muhammad.
