The property is called Zanzibar Beach Resort and there is no beach... how deceiving !! We went there with lot of expectations and was totally taken aback with the facilities, hotel itself and the service. There is absolutely no beach. There is a entrance to the Ocean. But the area is filled with sharp coral stones and you can't even... more

This resort is not for persons who enjoy water activities. You are not able to swim in the sea at this resort. On the fourth day the pool was as green as the gras and not looking very inviting. The rooms were okay, but the water pressure was very weak, making it a real challenge to shower. The resort is... more

I visited Zanzibar last month with 2 of my friends after we finished our safari and we didnt have any plans of where we would stay. We asked at the airport we were looking for something of good value and comfortable and we were directed to Zanzibar Beach Resort. Coming into the place it doesnt look like much, but we... more

Choosing the ideal place for an International meeting was a bit nervous but when we got to Zanzibar Beach resort, after sampling a number of hotels in the Island - within the Airport and Town area; there could not be a better place than Zanzibar Beach resort. I had five days residential conference with a group which ended with lots... more

This is my third time stay in this hotel and my experience has been always wonderful. I was here to attend an ILO meeting which lasted for two days. I have one suggestion to the management of this hotel to change the name from a "beach resort" to some other name that does not have any connection with the word... more

This place absolutely blows. There are no "resort" facilities (scuba, day trips, spa, etc.). The place is fallling apart and the staff is totally overwhelmed. Stay in Stone Town 5 minutes away in a taxi and get a better hotel if you want something nice (or interesting). Oh, and the power goes out ever night at this hotel with no... more

Our company decided to hold its regional meeting here. Awful experience all around. Some of the highlights: * Air conditioning that worked either poorly or not at all * Electricity outages that resulted from trying to have the bedroom and bathroom light on at the same time * A shower head that put out a thin dribble of lukewarm water... more

Stayed here for a conference at 50% of published rate. with this reduction it was just about acceptable. while some of the staff are friendly, many are not. There is clearly no management in the hotel and our visit for a few days had a number of issues related to poor service, staff who seemed to find guests annoying and... more

I have stayed in the Zanzibar Beach Resort a few times. It has always had nice rooms and facilities but the organisation and staffing is hopeless. I first stayed in 2006 with a group and we had lots of problems. The reception gave us a room with no beds in it (YES, NO BEDS!) and then after locking our valuables... more
