On arrival the hotel looks lovely… once settled, the bedsheets are rough like sandpaper, the bed as hard as rock & the noise from outside is unbearable at night. Especially when the outdoor cleaners come and rake your doormat for 5 minutes straight at 5:30am EVERY MORNING, and then when the cleaner comes with the hose and hoses down all your shoes you’ve left on the door step, leaving everything wet through outside your door, again at silly o clock in the morning. And then don’t forget the mites / bugs INSIDE the bathroom door scratching and eating its way out of the door ALL night which is loud. Let’s not leave out the restaurant, offering simple dishes etc wraps, burgers & chips - very boring & bland food. And for breakfast you’re allowed to order 1 egg and 1 coffee each alongside the buffet, but no staff will to approach anyone to order eggs. It’s advertising as a lovely luxury hotel, when in reality it’s nothing like that. Would not recommended. However it’s located great on the beach.

Ananda is such a gem, the perfect place for my stay in Zanzibar. The staff were delightful, my room was gorgeous and the restaurant was the envy of every other person in our group. Thanks to Mariam in particular for being so welcoming. Would fully recommend to anyone. It’s a dry hotel, which I found refreshing on the trip (alcohol served in most other nearby restaurants), and the small huts and beach vibes were immaculate. Particularly loved being visited by Colobus monkeys while reading by the pool, and I will miss the cats so much!!

Cozy, well maintained hotel at the beach. Nice pool with sun beds. There is a terrace with sun beds also at the beach. Breakfast is a good buffet with coffee, eggs, fresh fruit, pancakes, yogurt. We had a late flight, and were able to check out late.

Stunning hotel, location is perfect. I’ve never been this close to beach before with a hotel. The staff is also very kind and helpful. The food at the restaurant was good. Smoothies are really yummy. There are a lot of shops close by so if you need anything or want to go exploring, that’s always an option.

Perfect for solo travel or family vacation. Have it all: location , yummy food at excellent prices, activities like cayac, e-Bike, SUP.. or chance to learn kite or develop your skills . My room waa B2 - a bohemic look with great comfort, clean and welcoming.. The place has that extra vibe that makes you fall in love with the hotel, Paje, Zanzibar. Kids are safe and have the beach to run on and interact with local kids. They can play freely and parents can relax. Easy to make friends , rest, disconnect and enjoy the gorgeous view of white sands and blue waters especially on low tides. I will strongly recommend the walk on the low tides. For food : try the lobster, the falafel, the smoothie bowls, the catch of the day , the octopus salad .. so hard to decide on a favorite ..HAVE FUN .. I guarantee you will want to return 💙

We had a great stay at Ananda. The staff were friendly and attentive, rooms were really nice and so close to the beach. The cafe served good breakfast and the other food was reasonably okay. The pool was perfect and had plenty of sun loungers. Perfect location right on the beach next to other restaurants and bars Note: they don’t serve alcohol and the water pressure in the shower was really bad

Review: Ananda Beach Hotel was a hit for our family! Staff were friendly and accommodating, and the food was superb. While there weren't specific activities for kids, the beach and pool kept them entertained. Family-friendly vibe all around. They nailed it with their room service and cleaning! Every day felt like coming back to a fresh oasis, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. They even prepared the room for a perfect night's sleep. Couldn't ask for better hospitality! 🛏️✨👌

The accommodations are excellent and the staff are great. The breakfast is delicious and lots of options. The location is perfect for accessing the beach and near many bars and restaurants. I highly recommend the kiting school nextdoor.
