A big thumbs up to this nice place. For us it was the most luxurious place we have been on our trip - because normally we keep it really simple. :) We were impressed about the location - peaceful, silent and very heartwarming. If you want to relax, Shanuo Beach Bungalow is the best option. Nice and clean garden and the best was the wooden platform with the sun loungers and of course the view all over the sea and the white sand. :) We also rented bikes for two days to explore the surrounding. Another thumb for the staff. There are no words that can describe their kindness! Thank you for making our stay so special.

We stayed at Utupoa for 8 days over New Years Eve and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The host Joyce and her familiy and also the staff were very warm and welcoming, we immediately became familiy! Thank you very much for a great experience. The rooms are very spacious and kept very clean. The location right at the beach is perfect! If the water is far out at low tide you could cool down in the pool which was perfectly clean all the times. Breakfast and dinner are served on a long table for everyone so you can easily connect with new people. Meals are very fresh and of great quality. Joyce and her family care for everything you need! Be it a spicetour, a taxi to the airport or to explore Stonetown or a snorkelingtour with dolphins or help with your luggage that didn't make it to Zanzibar, they help you with everything. We would love to come back next year or any time soon!

The Zanbluu is pure paradise. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. The hotel feels so private, and we always felt like the only people there. The food is delicious, we tried so many dishes and all were wonderful, local and traditional. 10/10. The Zanbluu blew us away, completely exceeded pur expectations, and we would return in a heartbeat.

The location is wonderful, quiet and absolutely relaxing. The bungalow where we stayed did not have all the comforts like an hotel room, but we knew what we were doing when we booked here, we wanted to be immerse in the nature and that was exactly what we got, we even had the pleasure to see a little monkey on our balcony one day. All the people working at Evergreen are super polite and available, the way the treated us was unbelievable, it will be very hard to forget them. The beach in front of Evergreen is not crowded like Paje, and on top of that there are very few beach boys, one day we went in Paje and regretted it because we were stopped every 2 minutes by people trying to sell you something, so we decided to come back at Evergreen. Another crazy thing is the food, litterally everything was delicious, and we tried almost the entire menu during our stay. Also we cannot fail to mention Alawi, he will be your point of reference for every tour around the island, we did many tours thanks to him, and he was so sweet to give us gifts the day we left, so we really cannot forget him, and also Yusuf (our driver) which we fell in love with. This place really left something in our heart and in our memories. If we’d ever come back to Zanzibar this is the only place where we’d want to stay. A huge thank you goes also to Claudia and Mustafa, they did a wonderful job at Evergreen you can fell their love for this place, and on top of that they were very helpful. It is impossibile to not drop some tears the day you leave.

I liked the staff's service and the breakfast. The cleanliness was what I appreciated the most. It is walking distance to the beach and close to the road where there are many restaurants to choose from It is a very quiet area.

Truly paradise on earth! The most peaceful and restful spot. Could not have asked for more and wished I had more time to stay at AFYA. Really special place to stay if you want to get away from the busier places on the island. The staff were excellent, Timothy was very attentive and the food was good.

Staff was very friendly, despite the location being wrong compared to what we have in Booking. There are two places, the Sports Lodges and the Bungalows, where in the first you get the gym, bar and restaurants and in the bungalows you get a smaller bar, pizza only restaurants and the bungalows. You can use both facilities for free, but maybe something that could be highlighted better.

A wonderful and beautiful place to relax! The Lodges are all located right at the Ocean, Ocean view included. The beach is empty, I have been alone at the beach most of the times. Staff was very welcoming and helped with every question. My plan was to stay 1 1/2 weeks, but I extended, because I felt so comfortable there. :)

Milele Lodge is located in a really small village and there are not many things to do around here, but it's amazing if you want to relax. They have a nice restaurant and a great place to hang out in the evening or during the day. The staff are really nice and they are cleaning your room (if you want that) every day. We had really nice stay here!

The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented . Lots of choice for both breakfast and evening meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and that combined with the incredible ocean view , beautiful clean lodges and wonderfully prepared food means that we will definitely be coming back . It was the most perfect place to unwind and relax. Thank you to Martin and his team for an incredible week in Paradise.

We stayed in three different hotels and Mkeka Spice Lodge was by far the best. We have never eaten such a rich breakfast anywhere. The portions were huge and everything was delicious. The rooms are very clean, there is always hot water. The beach is only a few minutes walk. Hotel service is fantastic. when we were leaving we were sad to say goodbye to the staff who were always helpful and always made us laugh. The hotel is well guarded and you can feel very safe. If we come back to Zanzibar it's only to Mkeka Spice Lodge.❤

Breakfast was great, fresh fruits, fresh drinks pressed from local fruits. Since the lodge i a cca. 300 meters away from the beach, no party noice. Very quite in the afternoon except bird singing. We had a rental car and a parking lot was avaiable all the time. Staff amazing, reading your wishes before you can tell them.
