Find Hotels in Tanzania

very nice location good and clean rooms excellent facilities and very friendly staff. and the best of all was Sifa Pangani she is the guest relation officer of the resort she helped us a lot in all our requirement where to go and to do and what not...and also Rose Jhon the lovely and friendly waitress of the restaurant who always had my table reserved and my ash tray...i wish them all the best....and the fish restaurant there is awesome fresh sea food and very cheap specially the lobsters...i recommend this hotel for long vacation for the good price and location

The Residence is a beautiful property in a pristine location! We were spoilt rotten, and treated like royalty. We had been in South Africa for a week, a safari for a week in Tanzania and then the last 6-days was spent at the The Residence - and oh wow! What a way to finish... Cocktails, special candle light dinners, massages and more... we can never say thank you enough! We loved our time here!

Our stay was perfect. Clean and friendly staff (specially stanislaus from the front desk was really helpful). The hotel confitions are excellent and the rooms very clean. The only problem was that we arrenged a transfer from the airport but it did not appear so we had to take a taxi (anybody in the hotel gave us any solution after that). Also, the prices of the restaurants inside the hotel are crazy! Really expensive. It is better to walk around 2 or 5 minutes in the beach and you can find best quality restaurants and prices.

Note that the impressive skyscraper that is portrayed for this hotel is not belong for the hotel only. The hotel itself occupies only few floors on the top and therefore actually quite small. Nevertheless, that is good hotel fairly similar to any European hotel of the same star rank. Breakfast was excellent. The only drawback is mediocre bar where alcohol is banned, even beer. I'm not sure why is it so because it is not total alcohol bar in the country/city - there is a bar on the street nearby.

Pros: -location was gorgeous, the beach was stunning. -rooms were beautiful and well furnished -all inclusive meant alcohol was also included which was a huge plus as this can really add up. - staff were awesome and made the stay really enjoyable. - spa is not included but is worth trying out. Cons - food was mediocre throughout our stay. - the “exclusive” restaurants booking system allows for booking 24 hours prior, which means you’re never going to get a booking on your first day. We had to book on Friday for a dinner on Sunday, which isn’t bad but for an all inclusive hotel, it seemed to be creating unnecessary hype for something mediocre. Again, food in the Carnivorous restaurant is also average.

Just returned on 1st September 2018. Had very relaxed break for 10 days. Very quiet holiday and feel so relaxed. Great venue with unspoilt surroundings. Access from airport 1hr To main town and shopping 1hr. No local shops. No local Restaurants Great place to relax, very quite. Provides excursions for those choosing to explore or for diving. Food was very good quality and ample portions. Great pool area. Small beach area. Coast can be explored at low tide as water recedes past reef. Cycles avavailble for local exploring and visiting local villages and beaches (within 5km). Excellent staff. Very clean rooms.

Rooms: My husband and I stayed for 3 nights. We initially got the ground floor room which was already good but we got upgraded to the seaview room Siti Bint Saad- one of the best rooms in the hotel! And it was amazing! Bigger than our room, with balcony overlooking the turquoise waters.. Breakfast- we love that there are always new dishes, especially the savory ones. There is also a wide selection of pastries.. It was not tiresome menu! Egg omelette station is also there.. fresh fruits, cereals... and the view from breakfast conplements the atmosphere Amenities- we liked the pool as well! Deepest end at 3meters and the area is quiet and hidden. There are ornate beds and chairs to relax in Interior- since the building has been existing since the 1800s, it is a perfect mix of old and new. We eapecially liked the wooden staircases, balconies and the doors! It is really very beautiful! Location- can’t complain.. convenient by taxi, close to restaurants historical spots!

Dream of Zanzibar is a beautiful resort. The resort is very well laid out with a range of accomodation options to suit the travellers requirements. Rooms are clean, tidy and cosy. The staff are incredibly helpful, very professional and very friendly. Wi-Fi is very reliable. Although you may need to reconnect every 24hrs. DOZ is set against a backdrop of beautiful white sands beach. You can walk approximately 100-300m into the ocean on a low tide day to see a range of marine life. Note that it is advisable to go with a guide and with beach sandals as there will be a number of prickly sea urchins out in the ocean. Overall a fabulous stay and will not hesitate to go back again.

I really don't know where to start, I had such a great time at Azanzi Beach Hotel that I still sort of have a hangover from my experience in the resort, even if almost two weeks has passed since. The Management and Staff are nothing short of excellent, that i am just very grateful they provided me with 3 days of a great time. During check-in, Manon gave me one of the warmest greetings I've experienced in all my travels. She explained everything well and during the rest of my stay, she made sure that I was having a good time. The room exceeded my expectations, it was so big and it was all mine for a few days. If I had my way I would just have had stayed inside the room, but of course, It's Zanzibar and I had to experience the Beach, and Azanzi's Beach front is just wonderful. I actually spent a lot of time just staring into the ocean. I love that the place is quiet and relaxing, I knew I made the right choice in booking the hotel when i saw the facilities, the beach and the staff. The restaurant serves great food, I specially liked the Swahili buffet, and of course drinks at the bar. P.S. Service at Azanzi was topnotch! From the front desk arranging a Spice Tour for me to the housekeeping and the maintenance guy who fixed my lighting, everyone i met made me feel so at home.

We arrived at the hotel in the early hours of the morning, but were warmly and efficiently greeted. The room was very comfortable with good space to hang your clothes.there was a fridge, tea making facilities and bottled water every day. The shower was roomy and worked well. The breakfast was good and plentiful. The hotel was well situated for the sights of Stone Town. There was a garden at the back of the hotel which was nice to relax in with a drink. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel, and will probably stay there again on our return to Stone Town

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night en route to Matamwe, Zanzibar. After looking for ages for a reasonably priced hotel (very few exist in Zanzibar!), we landed on Maru Maru as it had received excellent reviews on various websites and was reasonably priced. Rooms: We found the rooms to be very comfortable and spacious. (The bathroom was huge!) They were quite luxurious compared to the other places we'd stayed in Tanzania. The only drawback is that our particular room (311) was right near the kitchen, so light sleepers may find this an issue. Speaking of the kitchen, the food was delicious - the best buffet breakfast we've had in Tanzania so far. Location: The location was exceptional, only a few minutes walk to the Old Fort, the House of Wonders and, best of all, Forodhani Gardens where we ate on two occasions. Stone Town is not particularly big, so you can walk to most places of interest from the hotel. Service: Impeccable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The driver took our luggage and even walked us individually to the front door with an umbrella (it was raining quite heavily when we first arrived). The reception staff were very friendly and helpful with booking tours and also very responsive to emails. Best of all, we'd noticed that in Africa, most porters and staff will hover after bringing luggage to your room, or accompanying you if you carry your own luggage. They are obviously waiting for a tip and if you've carried your own luggage, it's a bit awkward if you don't want to give one - even moreso if they get angry. The Maru Maru staff never did this but always walked away with a smile. The first time I'd seen this in Tanzania.

We had the best stay at this hotel, it was very clean and very secluded. We even made the booking too quickly online before arriving, so it hadn't reached them and they still very quickly and happily accommodated us. We had the best time in the bar and the breakfast room is so beautiful on a mezzanine floor with huge open windows looking out into the greenery and flowers of the local area. Very nice stay, will definitely return!

This hotel was wonderful. I spent three days in total here, one in a double balcony room and two in the suite (free upgrade who hoo!). This hotel was clean, the rooms were lovely with very comfortable beds and working A/C. Honestly the best part was having a shower with great water pressure....I would stay here again for the shower alone! The staff were very friendly and prompt. Also enjoyed the restaurant, the food was good and fairly reasonable on price. Should be noted that this is an alcohol free hotel. Location is right on the beach!

Stayed for one day. The hotel is in a convenient location close to the Zanzibar Ferry. Also the rooms are clean and very well equipped, WiFi was the best i had in Tanzania. The pool could not be used during my stay, since the cleaning took a whole day. Gym and restaurant were fine. When i checked out, staff seemed to be a bit overwhelmed with the payment process. Also the taxi i asked them to order hours before was not ready, so you better remind them twice if you are in a hurry. All in all i would probably stay there again, next time hopefully with a cleaned swimming pool

The hotel it’s self it’s beautiful,the food is delicious cleanliness need to improve, and hotel needs to add few staff like more coffe,milk, teas option in the room ,cleaness need to be improved and air freshener, fridge smells so bad we couldn’t used it , Also the pillows were so stiff no mattress protector or pillow protector it was hard for me to sleep until I used one of my dress under .I will come back if fix all these small problems. Water park its very old need to be repaired, it’s dAngerous for kids theirs no health and safety at all , swimming pools all are green and full of dirt , swimming tubes are shaking (I went to speak with a big guy called him self a supervisor in the water park ,said everything it’s fine and undercontrolled well he is lying) kids are full of adults my , fun zone and baby area need be to closed down seriously I have took some pictures so I can post online other parents to see .i don’t recommend anyone to go to the water park .

Villa Fleur De Lys is an awesome place to relax and gives you amazing views of the ocean. The staff has been very welcoming and friendly. It started with Zoe after the booking, she is quick to respond and even arranged a last minute ferry pick-up for us. Abdullah, our transport, waited patiently in the terminal - very professional and car is clean and well maintained. Mona, Juma and Fauster took good care of us and made us feel at home, served us good food and arranged all the excursions at a very reasonable price. These guys are simply amazing! I would highly recommend Villa Fleur De Lys if you are looking for a quite place to relax and unplug. You can easily spend hours on your balcony sitting and staring at the ocean!

We booked the hotel for 7 nights and unfortunately checked out after 3. The good things: the staff! Everyone is very helpful and always welcoming, especially Theresa, the reservations manager who was very helpful and understanding of our issues. The beach is very relaxing. The room is well-cleaned. However, I would say it is not a 4-star hotel and the cost doesn't match the value. The location is in the middle of the village, and everything that happens there is heard. There is no air conditioning in the room and the fans are not enough. The doors are not sealed, therefore bugs come in through the cracks. We had no hot water pressure in the shower. It is important to know that you cannot brush your teeth with the water in the sink (we were given 2 water bottles every morning. We moved to a different hotel in the area, so we know it is not the case for all hotels). There were wifi issues. Breakfast was insufficient and the dinner was pricy.

The description and photos of this resort are so under stated and do not reflect its true beauty and excellence !! The staff are exceptional and are the heart and sole of Ocean Blue. They are friendly, eager to please and go out of their way to make your stay extraordinary! The location in my opinion is the best in Paje - away from the hustle and bustle but a close walk to all the activities available in Paje. The 8 bungalows (I would call them Villas) are huge, clean and well maintained and have the most exceptional views of the ocean. The private verandas give you the opportunity to relax and escape the sun and is the best place to enjoy the cool evening breeze while sipping on a coctail. The 2 swimming pools are clean and very welcoming on a hot and humid day during low tide in Paje. To Dennis, Ramadani and Paulina I shall miss you all but will definitely be back soon. HAKUNA MATATA THIS IS BY FAR MY PIECE OF PARADISE ON EARTH!!!

Perfect location for a kitesurfing holiday, great beach, great atmosphere thx to the Kite Paradise School next door. Spacious rooms (but minimal decor), lovely beach staff (Shaibu you are the best!), very good massages at the Spa, nice big pool and efficient administration staff. I would not recommend this hotel for families as the beach would be unsafe for children due to kites flying on and off the beach + the atmosphere is more suited for adults who want to kite, chill and relax. The only low point of this hotel is the restaurant. The food is really below standards for a 4* hotel, the breakfast is always the same and the half board doesn't even include water at dinner + I got quite sick one night so hygiene can probably be improved too... The good news is that we told the manager and he thanked us for our feedback and considering his efficiency, you can be sure it will be sorted!

Can't fault except on one major goof up and no remedial action! My booking ws done by Agoda.com and paid as such to Agoda. The hotel staff charged my credit card $ 220 for the stay without my knowledge. Once I found out their mistake, told them to correct and reverse charge by crediting same amount to my card. They said sorry it will take 4 to 5 days, some banking excuses given for delaying paying back their mistake!!!! This is not expected of Hilton Group!! Saying sorry is fine but hello you made mistake, reimbusrse me immediately my money!! And they could have said sorry in so many ways, not just saying so!!

This urban high rise hotel is THE choice is you are taking the ferry to Zanzibar. Friendly and welcoming, very clean and well-maintained, the hotel caters to a broad clientele, from business to tourist, and from all over the world. The staff's friendliness definitely crossed cultures, as did the restaurant's choice of cuisine. Everything in the room worked.The bed was comfortable and had a choice of 4 pillows. My only criticism is that the standard double room (I saw that there were larger double rooms) was a single room in which the double bed took up so much space (and was jammed up against the wall) that there was not really enough room to open two suitcases. Would recommend the larger size double room if offered a choice.

I would recommend Zanzibar Beach Resort as a business and leasure destination. It is a beautiful location and conveniently close to the airport and to Stone Town (a must visit). The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would like to commend the Resort Manager, Chief-chef, waitress and waitresses as well and specifically Mr Sinyal at Reception, for all your support during our stay as well as the arrangements with our workshops.

i spent my final night in africa at the doubletree after more than two weeks overlanding through kenya and tanzania. it was a lovely end to the journey due to its serene location, stunning views, warm staff and lush bedding. the only negatives were that any requests made (such as having a room service menu brought to my room) took a long time to be answered. along the same lines, when the menu finally arrived followed by the food, it was cold. but these were minor things that were completely overshadowed by everything else that was fabulous.
