Zanzibar: Kindvriendelijke vakanties

Our stay at Diamonds Mapenzi Beach had several positive aspects. The location is good, the pool area is nice, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the stay. That said, there are a few points worth being aware of. The rooms appear more worn in reality than the pictures suggest, which detracts from the overall impression. In addition, the food unfortunately falls below expectations. Considering the price, the culinary experience could have been significantly better. This becomes particularly noticeable when compared to similar hotels in destinations such as the Seychelles or Cape Verde, where the food standard is often higher within the same price range. It is also worth mentioning that the Hotels.com Gold benefits (Early/Late checkout, Upgrade) do not seem to apply here (even when listed on confirmatio). However, this appears to be more an issue with Hotels.com rather than the hotel itself. Overall, a perfectly acceptable place to stay, but somewhat overpriced for the experience it offers.

We had a lovely stay at the Baraza Resort. Although the beach, villa and food were top notch, it is the staff that deserve six stars! The entire staff are so wonderful and cater to your every need. This was the perfect stop after 8 days of Safari before our long journey home. I can’t recommend the hotel more highly. We also enjoyed the spa which was fabulous.

A smaller hotel but with provided a great experience. The staff were outstanding from reception to the bar. The rooms were very cool (we had a family room) and large, clean and very well appointed. The restaurant always looked good with many options enough to satisfy kids too. The kids also loved the pool & table tennis games room. The Dive centre in the hotel was also excellent and one of the reasons we chose this hotel. It all worked well. Just over an hour from the airport but plenty stuff to do at or near hotel with Mnemba Island just a short boat ride away!

We had a wonderful 10 days stay at this hotel. The service is very good and the waiters and waitresses very kind and service orientated. The environment is beautiful. Everywhere beautiful flowers. The gardiers arrange that the environment looks very nice every day. The accommodation is good. Well worth visiting.

De kamers zijn dringend aan renovatie toe,waterinsijpeling in de muren, douche heeft zeer grondige dieptereiniging nodig, met name de voegen die vol bruine schimmel en barsten zitten. Het hotel is meer 4 sterren dan 5 sterren in vergelijking met andere 5 sterren resorts/hotels.Akke zwembaden moeten zeer drinfend gereinigd worden, tegels kapot en de voegen zijn zwart. Personeel en management zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam 10/10, restaurant 9/10 , er is voor elk wat wils en indien je onwel bent kan je uw ontbijt. lunch of dinner op uw kamer krijgen

We zouden 5 sterren geven voor het resort, hoe leuk het is om tijd te vertoeven aan het zwembad, aan zee (neem er wel de verschillende strandverkopers bij), in de verschillende restaurants. Het personeel is door de band ook heel vriendelijk. Wij hadden echter een garden view kamer (nr. 803 om precies te zijn) en door de hoge vochtigheidsgraad was het er altijd heel klam en hing er een muffe geur. Er stond schimmel op verschillende muren, de spiegels waren heel vaak uren na een douche nog aangedampt en het vocht voelde en zag je zo op het plafond, muren en grond. Dat alles is niet alleen heel onaangenaam maar ook ongezond. Dat vonden we echt geen 5 sterren waardig. Geen idee of dit ook zo is op kamers op een verdieping, maar lijkt me alleszins het vragen waard als je er boekt.

Nice place to stay. Nice location around to visit.
