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.

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!

In my opinion, this Resort is tired and in disparate need of an upgrade on various basic aspects. One can see that the Resort used to be that of a 5 star, maybe in the late 90's and early 2000's, but the feeling you get, at least throughout our stay, is that things are run down and being patched rather than replaced or upgraded. Make no mistake, the staff are really friendly and trying their best to battle the language barrier from different groups of people. In conclusion, I give this Resort a 3 Star compared to another Resort we stayed in previously and compared to other Resorts in the immediate vicinity. Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa has all the potential in the world to be a 5 Star+ Resort, however, they will have to re-invest in the infrastructure and interior in order to achieve that!

The room is clean and big . But Food is nothing special not very tasty And the breakfast It's a disaster! They should put food in a closed room because there are wasps everywhere. So many wasps that you can't get to the food restaurant open at7:30pm very late if you have kids … The location is good because you have 4/5 restaurants not to far from the hotel

We had a lovely stay at Karafuu. Staff were very friendly. Views were amazing. The one issue we had was with the cats. While most people are ok with them being around we were not. While dining they come to guests and I think that should not be allowed. My daughter has a phobia for animals and it ruined her experience. Honestly, if I had known about them having free reign around the resort, I would not have booked there. It ruined an otherwise wonderful experience for us.
