I have stayed in Royal Beach Resort for 8 days and i have a lot of great things to say about my experience there.
First thing first the welcoming is amazing, the menager prepared our room really quick and it was ready for us around 30 minutes after we entered the resort , so we didn't waited till 2 pm .He even gave us a room with a very nice view which we appreciated. Pictures i saw on the internet before i came do not make justice. When we got there the place looked even more magical, it was surrounded from huge trees, a lot of gardens which were taken care on perfection and amazing pools for every age.
Rooms are so big , they are clean and equipped with everything a person needs , shampoos/conditioners/lotion sets and room service brings new ones before you empty them, there is also hair dryer so you don't need to bring one from home, a frige which you can fill up later on your choice etc.
Ssrvice in room is multiple times a day so when they noticed you are not there they come and clean, change sheets and at night they spray smth against insects , even though we haven't noticed any during our stay( keep in mind we were on ground floor)
All staff around the resort is so friendly and kind , every time we called the reception our need was completed after 1 minute, they are so fast with that.
The beach is the best one in the island Nungwi beach which i have no comment about it, you have to come see it yourself, such a gem. They have a bunch of beach comfortable beds with mattresses where you can chill and tan drinking from the bar listening to nice music . About the "beach boys" they are all around the coast not only in front of the resort, they can be a little bit pushy but if you say no they won't follow you, but the best thing is they never come to the beds where you are chilling because the resort has guards 24h all around so we always felt protected.
Electricity is a week point of the island but the resort has huge regeneratiors so we have noticed a cut of electricity around 7pm 1-2 times never longer than 10 seconds so we never had an issue with that.
For eating they offer 2 options , a buffet and a restaurant which have a variety of food. Everything it was cooked in a way to make different people with different tastes happy.
Ps: The only thing i will suggest to the resort is to incorporate much more seafood/fish/shrimps, and not as much meat . Firstly because when someone comes to Zanzibar they expect to eat a lot of fish and secondly this is also a good way to support the locals from which the main source of income comes from fishing, so everyone gets happy this way.
If you ask me if i will come again my answer is definitely YES.
Overall we had a very amazing holiday which we will never forget
Thank you Royal
With the kindest regards

We stayed at Royal Zanzibar for a couple of nights in August 2024. Our only wish is that we had more time here! This is a beautiful hotel/resort, with the best service we have ever experienced.
The food was excellent! Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets were plentiful and had an unbelievable amount of variety. The à la carte menu at The Cliff restaurant was also very good.
The entire staff team were very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. A manager even gave us a free room upgrade at check-in as he wanted to make our anniversary extra special.
The pool area and the beach were beautiful and the rooms were very spacious and clean. We absolutely LOVED this place and wished we could have stayed longer. Do not hesitate to book a stay, we highly recommend it!

We had a fantastic two nights here! We chose the hotel since we love pools and the they did not disappoint!
Special thanks goes to Masemo who was easily reachable via WhatsApp and was able to coordinate early check in, transit to and from the hotel, and a special Honeymoon welcome in our room. He made our stay feel truly a 5 star stay ❤️
The food was about what you’d expect from an all inclusive, we got breakfast there a couple times. Luckily the hotels location is close to many other off-resort restaurants so we were able to pretty easily walk north to Nungwi where there were some great restaurant options.
We wished we’d been able to stay longer, we only had one full day and we spent most of it on a boat tour. If we could do it again we’d add another night to enjoy the pools even more!

Perfect gate away .. food was not the best but lots of options except for vegetarians. And not much around resort to go offside for a meal.
Resort is fantastic, staff is great. Only complain was I couldn't check I'm till 6pm after being there since 1pm. And they called 3 times to make sure I was getting out fo the room by 10am for checkout.

I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful time. The place was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. But what really made it special was the service.
I want to thank Abdulrahman, who was super friendly and helpful. He always had a smile and made sure I had everything I needed. His kindness and professionalism stood out.
From check-in to check-out, Abdulrahman made my stay amazing. I highly recommend this hotel!
