The meals were a culinary delight, and thematic dinner nights added excitement. The beachfront location offered ever-changing water colors. Truly a hidden gem that exceeded all expectations!

    lovely pool
    amazing scuba lessons
    early mornings

    We absolutely loved lounging by the lovely pool and diving into our amazing scuba lessons! The spa was a great way to unwind after our adventures, and we enjoyed the nighttime entertainment too. Just a heads up, early risers will catch the sunrise at 6:30 am, but don’t worry, there’s plenty to do after dark! 🌅

    The Zanzibar Queen Hotel features beautifully maintained gardens and comfortable, accessible areas, making it easy for seniors to navigate. The vibrant decorations added charm, and I particularly enjoyed the lovely pool area that felt like a true oasis.

    More shaded seating options near the beach.

    luxurious retreat
    inconsistent cocktails

    The Beachfront bungalow with plunge pool was a luxurious retreat.

    Cocktails varied in quality depending on the bartender's skill.

    culinary experiences
    comfortable bed
    shaded seating
    beach access
    limited activities

    Exceptional culinary experiences and a stunning beach with fine sand made this stay memorable. The room was impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed and a lovely balcony. Although I wished for more shaded seating options near the beach, the overall ambiance and the attentive staff more than made up for it.

    Serenity by the Ocean, A Relaxing Getaway

    We enjoyed stunning ocean views from our room, perfect for morning coffees. The nearby restaurant served delicious fresh seafood, a treat! However, a ventilation upgrade for the bathroom would enhance comfort. For a calming experience, consider exploring local beaches. A TV in the room could also be a nice touch.

    beach conditions
    low tide

    The hotel's serene environment and welcoming staff made for a delightful experience, with lovely, clean rooms and enticing food. However, the beach's swimming conditions at low tide were disappointing. Overall, I found it to be a charming location for a relaxing getaway.

    beachfront bungalow
    private plunge pool
    evening performances
    seaweed beach

    A beachfront bungalow with a plunge pool grants direct access to the sand and offers a private retreat for relaxation. The hotel provides dedicated performances post-sunset, alongside a small library and a workout gym for varied activities.

    The beachfront experience was marred by seaweed, not the scenic paradise one might expect. Limited dining options during themed nights can feel restrictive, and drinks at the bar display inconsistency—some cocktails were weak or not up to par. The early sunrise and sunset hours at this location can be a challenge for those wanting to sleep in, creating a compressed day.

    gorgeous beach
    friendly staff
    clean rooms
    electricity issues
    tide limitations

    The Zanzibar Queen impressed me with its stunning location and beautifully maintained grounds. The staff radiated warmth and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The pool area was an inviting oasis. clean and well-kept, with plenty of loungers. Daily activities like volleyball and table tennis kept things fun. I loved the fine dining experience at the restaurant. the dishes were diverse and flavorful, making me look forward to every meal. My room was well-decorated, with a lovely balcony facing the Indian Ocean. Hot showers always worked perfectly. However, I did encounter some issues with the electricity. it was inconsistent at times. The beach, while gorgeous, had some limitations due to the tides affecting swimming at certain hours. Overall, this hotel felt private and offered a significant break from daily life.
