Hotels near Makunduchi Beach

"This was absolutely the most amazing hotel to stay in in Zanzibar. From the moment I booked, Madaline the hotel manager was in constant communication with me to make sure everything was set for my stay. The property itself is a boutique hotel with only 8-9 rooms (with beautiful balconies right on the ocean) and every guest is truly treated like royalty. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and so clean. I was greeted after my late flight at the hotel by Madaline with an amazing dinner and a welcome drink brought to my room. Breakfast is served at any time during the day (including when I woke up the first day at 2p), and the waiter Sylvestre is the absolute best. The drinks and the food are incredible and include fresh seafood every night for lunch and dinner. Madaline helped plan every detail of the rest of my weekend, including an in-room massage the day of, dinner at an amazing restaurant, a spa treatment down the street, and a catamaran snorkeling tour last minute. She was so attentive to every last detail, and her and Abu were there to welcome me at the front desk every time I came home, and walked me personally to the car to say goodbye with my bags at the end of my stay. This place truly felt like home and I can’t wait to come back! Thank you for everything!!"

"A very relaxing place to stay and recuperate. We had a fantastic sea view to the front and side of the room. That did mean that when the storms came we also had a very wet floor as the front just has mesh panels and no windows (but we were very grateful for the refreshing breeze!) but this was quickly dried up with some towels. Housekeeping available everyday and excellent service. Room had a ceiling and a mosquito net over the bed. As it was hot and humid when we were there it could be quite difficult to sleep at night - not the fault of the hotel, just one of those things. The bathroom shower is not contained so be warned that the floor does get very wet and is slow to drain. The pool was great! Most guests don't seem to use it so it was pretty quiet most days. We loved it when the monkeys would come out and swing around the trees by the pool - it's a mini jungle paradise! Access to the sea is down some steps - the water is lovely and clear. Be aware that during load tied you will likely be approached by locals hiding behind rocks on the beach offering boat tours/taxi service etc. The same tours and services are offered by the hotel for a very competitive price so we preferred to book through Promised Land. Lovely bar and restaurant staff. Lovely food especially the Tanzanian fish curry! We stayed for 10 nights so menu was getting a bit samey but most people stay for much shorter period of time. Beautiful, remote location with lovely people to look after you."

"The staff were amazing. It felt like a family environment. I was quite emotional after I left. The managers and staff did everything possible to make my stay perfect. Benjamin, kitchen staff and housekeeping and all cleaners helped me out a-lot during my stay. This was a dreamy luxurious stay. I was even given complimentary treats on my arrival. I booked the Ocean view prestige Villa and it was a great decision. You have bikes at the villa which you can use to explore around the resort and gardens. The spa is extremely amazing. I loved my therapist Anna she was brilliant. Highly reccomend."

"Very nice hotel with amazing surroundings, great staff, great rooms and a beautiful pool area! Also the small towns nearby are super fun with some great food options. Definitely recommend this place — enjoyed it a lot more than other places in Zanzibar."
