My husband and I we spent 10 days at Coral Rock in January 2013. The site of CR and the location are fanstastic. The sea and the beach a beuty. But Zanzibar has many beautiful places with lovely sea and gorgeus beaches. The most important asset of Coral Rock is its people, the staff and the owners. They make you... More

Coral rock is a clean, affordable hotel with decent food and friendly staff. Choose rooms further away from the restaurant if you prefer to have a quieter stay. Stayed as a couple. Great hotel to relax by the beach.

Our 3 nights at Coral Rocks were by far the most memorable, relaxing, comfortable with the best value for money that Zanzibar could offer us. All the staff spoke excellent English without exception and were very accommodating from the minute we arrived. Beautiful clean room with double beds, air con, mosquito nets and unbeatable views across the infinity pool and... More

Very friendly stuff, management is great, food is coming fast from the kitchen. Room was comfortable with A/C and electricity and water was stable 24/7. We... More

When my friend and I were first planning our trip months ago, I saw a picture of the Coral Rock Hotel and couldn't get it out of my mind. We are budget travelers and even though not horribly expensive at $70 per night, it was over our budget. However, the night before we were to go to the East side... More

Spent a lovely week at Coral Rock, enjyoing the peace and quiet and sublime views. Staff were friendly and the private bungalows are lovely. The hotel has an enviable location on a rock cliff, which affords incredible views of the ocean and the changing tides. Local villagers can be seen harvesting seaweed. It's away from the hustle and bustle of... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Coral Rock in summer 2012 and had an absolutely fantastic time. The room was lovely with a private balcony and fantastic views. As noted by other reviewers, the service in the restaurant was a little slow however they were up front about it and it allows you to enjoy the views/atmosphere/company. They have created... More
