Reviews for The Residence Zanzibar

10/10

Reviewed 1 week ago

Staff were really nice and helpful. One of the staff Calvin really made sure I had the best honeymoon as he had planned my activities and always checked up on me to make sure everything is okay. Highly recommend this for couples and families as it is nice for children also as there are many things you could do while you stay!

Incredible and kind - you should go here.

TL;DR - you need to go here, it's incredible. Super kind people, incredible views, villas, and vibes. This hotel was the best we have ever been to, and for many reasons. Combination of the view, atmosphere, food, kindness, activities all added to an incredible experience for our honeymoon. We loved our time here, and are already planning on going back in the future. Not just that, but every single person here was incredibly kind -- maybe it's culture of the country, or the culture of this hotel, but every person made us feel actually *appreciated* and felt like we were genuinely welcome and happy to have us there. We have been to many hotels, all with nice staff with professional courtesy, but never truly welcome as if by a friend to their home. Amazing time!

Happy Place!

Beautiful hotel with very large and clean rooms. The staff deserve special mention, from the moment you are welcomed you feel perfectly looked after. Sharifu at the beach bar was particularly friendly, Edson was our personal companion during our stay and read our every wish from our lips and I had great yoga lessons with Lukman. But really everyone was extremely accommodating, even in the restaurant - the food on offer was amazing! - and also the room service, absolutely top! We had the best time! What visitors should know: there is quite a lot of seaweed. Of course, the hotel can't help this and it's not really a problem because of the private pools. You should just be aware of it.
