Best Hotels near Mangapwani, Kaskazini B

Best resort in Zanzibar that gives you 5 star treatment ! Absolutely loved their service & warm welcome. Stuff is super nice & kind. If you need any assistance they are kind enough to help you. Their breakfast & dinner buffet is amazing! There’s always music playing + a live band. So many activities to enjoy at the resort. I will choose Sea Cliff resort again!

Jafferji Beach Retreat Hotel is an amazing place for you and your family and/or partner to relax and enjoy. The location is unbelievable, right next to a beautiful sandy beach. The activities offered are snorkelling and diving, but you can also organise one-day trips to other parts of the island, as well. In the hotel itself, you can enjoy incredibly good and fresh food. The pool is quite nice, not very big but not too small, either. There's a small spa where the kind beautician/masseuse will offer a whole variety of treatments. Maurizio the manager and all his staff are very nice and super available. Mr Munisi, Witness, Tumaini, Margareth and all the others will always be there to help with a big smile. They will make sure you feel at home! I honestly couldn't recommend the hotel enough, it is a 4+ stars hotel experience at the price of a 3 stars. Amazing value for the money.

We had 5 days to relax in Zanzibar after a 10 day safari and we chose Chuini as it looked gorgeous. It is indeed lovely, but it is down a long dirt road with no other amenities around- that means you hire a driver to go somewhere or stay at the resort. Staying at the resort is not a bad thing- the pools are wonderful, the food is really good and varied and the grounds with the ruins is lovely. The beach is not a swimming beach so you are best going to the the north or east of the island for white sand beaches and swimming. The hotel staff were very helpful in organizing all of our day excursions and we got to see a lot of the island on these excursions. The rooms are beautiful suites with a sitting area and lovely patios too. Unfortunately our room backed on to the main road so it was very loud with fisherman leaving early in the morning (5am!) and then for most of the day with people passing back and forth. The spa is wonderful - we managed to get an excellent massage on our first day. But on Friday- our last day of relaxing we had looked forward to a day of pool and massage and chill, we were told the spa is closed on Friday- wish we had been told of that as it doesn't' state that anywhere in the spa literature! To add to our last day disappointment the resort ran out of beer on Friday- a bit strange for an upscale resort. Overall it was a very pleasant 5 day stay.

We would like to thank this beautiful hotel for a wonderful 5 days of rest. Crazyly beautiful views, excellent staff, attentive attitude! Special thanks to manager Angela for the approach and attention. Very beautiful territory, a magnificent beach, stunning landscapes from the terrace of the room! Recommended from the soul!!!!

Great service from staff. Stayed at Verde for 4 days and the entire experience was genuinely like nothing I have experienced before in my life. Watching the sunset from a balcony with a view of the docked ships and boats was a particular highlight as was swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. As for waiting staff, Leticia and Hidaya in particular were very helpful.

We travelled here from the UK in Feb 24 as a couple. The hotel is a lovely friendly place and the rooms are lovely and cold with excellent air con and very clean. The setting is beautiful with greenary and the beach, The staff are helpful and super kind. The wifi was very hit and miss but this isnt a major issue for us, we were on holiday :-) We did have an issue on the first night but after chasing management they did sort it and we were happy with that. Happy on the beach bar, is her names sake - happy, friendly and always remembers you she is amazing. Adam was a beach porter and very friendly chatty and very helpful. There was entertainment every night - a little repetative but non the less it was on - the guys worked very hard. The guests are mainly polish and had great fun There alot of beach traders - whilst they didnt bother me (we all need to make a living) just to be aware there are alot but very friendly. My MAIN issue sadly was the restaurant / food area. Its not an enclosed area so as the nights humidity sets in you can be sat dining in some serious serious heat. The second downfall with it being 'outside' dining is ALL the flies/wasps all over the uncovered food ( salads/ deserts / breads etc) The food was very much same same every night and super small portions you have to ask for more which can feel a little embarrasing ( well thats just me). My husband and I sadly had an upset stomach for 3 weeks. I feel this could be easily sorted if the dining area was inside - thus stopping all the flies and wasps and comffortable eating tempertaures. Just my opinion. Id give this hotel 4stars as its stunning if the restaurant was sorted its would definately be 5star plus.

I would like to share my experience at Zoi Boutique hotel. I went with me friend and it was really great stay there. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Especially Nice on the front desk. She was extremely professional and supportive. We were facing some inconvenience but she solved on the spot and made our stay so comfortable and unforgettable. We really enjoyed and had a great time there. Highly recommend this hotel as a great option to stay! - amazing staff - great food (fresh bakery every morning :)) - Ocean view (unbelievable sunrise) - 2 nice pools

We were a family of 4, with two teenage girls, and overall had a good, relaxing time over 8 days. We loved the beautiful gardens, the sea view, the quality evening shows, the coziness of the place (only 16 bungalows) and the exceptionally nice and helpful Tanzanian staff (we had a memorable New Year's Eve dancing with them!) - they care deeply to ensure everyone has a good time while remaining discreet. The location is great to visit the Island as we did one day out of two, organised through our agent in Geneva and the hotel (we recommend the day's private outing with Safari Blue out of Fumba, the Maalum cave to be combined with the Jozani forest rather than done over two trips). The main downside of the hotel is the food: the limited choice each day would be no issue if there was more variety from one day to the next and the food was not so bland, with big pieces of meat/fish each night, hardly any vegetables, no big salads, not a single local dish in our 8 evenings despite Zanzibar's cuisine being notoriously tasty, and nothing festive for New Year's eve (the same BBQ as 5 nights before: grilled squid and octopus, and grilled meat in copious amounts, a small potatoe each, no vegetables (!), and a piece of average cake). The wine list was also quite limited. Overall, definitely not worth the very high price charged for each dish (or for the all inclusive) nor the fuss made about the food at this hotel. It is obviously aimed at a particular clientele, but was a real disappointment to us and the reason why we would not give theTulia 5/5. We ate much better in Stone Town and in many the 5* hotels of many other countries. Travelers may want to note the following: the common area around the (small) pool and facing the sea is small, including the deck above the sea (when there is one but the changing tide is quite charming), although well-furnished; there is non-stop music (but they will turn if down or off if you ask); the hotel faces East and loses the sun around 5.30pm (but nice moon each night); it is quite windy all day long, but we found this OK given the heat and as a result had virtually no mosquitoes. The Royal bungalow, where we were, is big (save the bathroom, small) but lacks a bit of charm, facing the back of the propery, although it is good for a family of 4, has its own swimming pool, and is quiet as against the spa (no neighbours). Overall probably a better place for 3 to 5 days' rest after a safari than for an 8/9 day stay as we had. But again, we have rarely experienced such nice and helpful staff, they made our stay!
