Staff is friendly and welcoming. Perfect level of attention without being intrusive. Food is good - wide variety, fresh and well prepared. On-site kitchen garden is a plus. Amenities are good, beach is clean and inviting. The property is a good hotel. Solid, but it is not at the level of luxury.

Amazing property staff very attentive and accommodating. The spa was absolutely amazing. The buffet was ok not the best. The rooms are spacious. The love entertainment is a great addition to the stay. The worst part was the haggling at the beach with the guys everyone’s selling the same things and it makes you not want to go on the beach because they are a continuous bother. Other than that the beach was clean, clear waters. Overall good place I would definitely recommend staying there id return myself.

Around the resort was very nice the pool/ beach was great. Staff around the hotel were nice and friendly. The room cleaning was not very good as they don’t change the bed sheets unless you tell them to overall bath room cleaning was also very poor the room didn’t look cleaned very well. Also the room is very out dated looks old for 5 star resort the mosquito net on the bed was broken from the top so wasn’t working some things in the room wasn’t working and wasn’t being replaced after cleaning it was as mostly housekeeping issues. Other than that it was good hotel.

The Royal Zanzibar Resort has stunning views of the ocean, a white sand beach, plenty of activities to participate in, and gorgeous pools and restaurants. A highlight for me was eating at The Cliff Restaurant which has amazing views. The open air gym was nice for a workout in the morning. The room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. All the staff go out of their way to make your experience enjoyable. They advise you of the government imposed tax, and other than that, there were no hidden fees. The price I paid through Expedia included all I could eat and drink at the resort! I highly recommend this place. I travelled here alone as a woman and felt completely safe on the property.

Starting off strong, bedsheets and pillows reeked of humidity, table cloths in the restaurants have oil stains on them. Some food are cold in the buffet (like soup) even if you go in the first 20 minutes. Plays horrible, horrible music at night- like Ciao Bella Club Remix level bad. And they BLAST IT so you hear it in your room as well. Also, they ask you for $95 to the airport, while a normal taxi around does it for 40, not even half. They try to charge you for everything, and it is in fact NOT all inclusive- only 4/5 cocktails included, e.g no tequila. On the bright side, the staff is lovely. They do their best to help you and make your stay better. The resort also “does not encourage to tip the members of staff” as they note on the briefing paper they give you in check-in, for some reason. Overall nice facility, relatively good food, large airy rooms, etc. Would recommend only for families with children or big groups, NOT for couples or individuals who pay attention to detail.

We are from the USA and when we book all inclusive it mean everything. Well at this resort everything wasn’t all included. The alcohol that was included was horrible. I have never been to a resort was they won’t include tequila. If I would’ve known that we would have never booked this resort. We ended up spending so much more money because we could not drink the alcohol they had. Also the all inclusive end at midnight and don’t start back until 10am. One day the bartender stop at 11pm and we ended up having to pay for drinks. The next day we do go tell the front desk about the problem and they said they was going to speak to the bartender but the didn’t refund us our money. Also they told us the was going to do something special for my birthday and they didn’t. We did the floating breakfast and it was amazing, the experience and food was top tier. We also did the dinner on the beach and the food was so cold. I was very disappointed about my stay at Royal Zanzibar

We had a fantastic 7 night stay at the property. Staff- The staff were fantastic. The man at the coffee bar ( i cant remember his name) was fantastic. So friendly and welcoming. Gloria, at the main bar, was lovely and enjoyed singing and sharing her local culture with us. Edward went above and beyond in his helpfulness and service. Just to name a few as all of the waiting staff in the main restraunt were fab as were most of the bar staff. We had a massage with Faith and Asha who were both professional and exceptional in their service. Rooms There was a probelm with our room upon arrival however we were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a deluxe suite. It was beautiful and had a fabtastic view of the sea and pool. It was particualrly beautiful to warch the evening sunset and the sky change at night. The bathroom was enormous with a powerful shower, huge batha nd double sink. Plenty of replenished toiletries. The bed was comfortable and plenty of plugs ( British). Facilities The pools were enormous with plenty of space to swim/ play. There was a seperate space for water pilo so it didnt disturb anyone. Plenty of bars with lota of seating - both in the shade and in the sun Beach The hotel is right on a beautiful beach which is lovely for a morning walk. There are a lot of people on it later on who are trying to encourage you to go to their shop or take a boat trip with them. The water is clear although there is little to see snorkelling wise; starfish and enenomies.
