This is my second trip to Marea (previously under another name but with the same owners). I only want to talk about how much I like it if you all promise not to book in for the same weeks that I visit again. It’s quiet, which I love, but within walking distance of busier Paje. The rooms are clean, well-sized, have aircon, fans and cute balconies. Some of the rooms have just been redesigned, and I know there are more upgrades in the works. It has a wonderful Neapolitan restaurant, which is helpful because you don’t ever feel like you *need* to hunt for other food. It has a perfectly sized pool which never feels crowded, and not being in the centre of the resort, doesn’t come with lots of eyes gazing in your direction. Most of all, the staff are fantastic. They always have a smile and a kind word. Service is good and easy. It’s a great find for those looking for a boutique family run resort that also doesn’t break the bank.

We’ve eaten at the Geo Italian Restaurant on the beach a couple of times now. The food is really good and very generous portions. The staff are great and don’t mind when we share a beer and the meal. The first time we had the Margherita Pizza, 2nd visit was catch of the day with chips and salad. We’ll be back again - probably the spaghetti bolognaise.

We discovered this spot quite by chance after a trip to Jambiani. Since then it has quickly become a favourite for lunch, drinks, great beachfront and swimming. If you want a chill day, good food good drinks with beach paces away this is the place to be. Its a family run establishment who are very hands on and friendly. The icing on the cake was the service, from the get go the team were great at making us feel at home and the pizzas and pasta dishes are delicious having us come back again and again! The only slight blight is the pool attendant with a surly and unhelpful attitude so we generally ignore him. If you order at the restaurant you can use the pool gratis. There is free ample parking. Carry your own towel as they do not supply this. This is definitely a place I recommend and try out the pizzas mock and cocktails as well! The mixologist knows what his doing!

We stayed at Geo for 10 days, we had a great time! The service was prompt and very good. Our room had a nice view over the sea and sunrise. The room and surrounding areas were very clean and nice keept. A recommendation is to put a little extra storage in room, doing is possible to unpack all clothes. The restaurant was nice, we ate breakfast every morning and ice cream almost every evening. Menue was good! Another recommodation is to make the own bread for breakfast, that would give the extra special touch. Nice and extra plus to have a pool to swim in during low tide. We recommend a stay at the resort.

We recently stayed for seven nights (myself and my two daughters - one adult and one child). Location is amazing - right on the beach with picture book views from the room and the balcony. The swimming pool was a welcome addition and the restaurant always delivered great Italian food. Breakfast was plentiful. On a few nights, we took a short walk along the beach to try out some of the other restaurants but nothing compared. The staff just couldn’t do enough and were very friendly. The resort is small (just 15 rooms) and is located at the quieter end of Jambiani so not too busy. Airport transfers worked perfectly (you have to request them in advance) and the hotel arranged some unforgettable custom day trips for us. The room was basic and quite small but more than adequate for what we needed. We were treated a few times to the colobus monkeys in the trees right next to our balcony and you can hear the gentle crashing of waves in the room. If I had to be picky - a fridge, kettle and safe in the room would have been useful. Otherwise no complaints and this is right up there as one of our favourite holidays ever.

Our family of four enjoyed an open-air lunch at Geo recently. (We were staying elsewhere on the island.) We found the service to be very friendly and welcoming; the food to be fresh and tasty; and the experience to be memorable. Would definitely recommend as a nice casual lunch stop. A nice vantage point from which to watch the kite surfing taking place on this stretch of ocean. It was quite windy that day, but we are from Cape Town so that didn't bother us :) The restaurant has a pleasant indoor seating area as well. We had bruschetta to start, a margherita pizza (wood-fired) and fried calamari for mains, and ice-cream for dessert. All delicious.

This is a great mid range hotel well worth the price without breaking the bank. Enzo and his family aim to make your stay a relaxing one. The rooms were cleaned every day. We had a problem with the toilet and they got to it pretty quickly. The breakfast was made fresh for you. The pool was cleaned regularly. We would go back there again in a heartbeat.

Perfect location, very friendly staff, very good restaurant food, reasonable prices for Zanzibar, modest rooms although they are well taken care of. Special attention to Enzo, very attentive and pleasant, he makes the stay as comfortable as possible.
