Everything was amazing. Couldn't ask for a better place for our holidays, very relaxing, close to a calm beach but also with a nice pool for those low tides hours. The restaurant is very convenient and well priced. As we had the half pension option we had dinner at the restaurant every night and glad we did have it. Strongly recommend staying at Kupaga for a worry-free, relaxing vacation. We will definitely be back.

This may be one of the most stylish and refined resorts on the east coast of Zanzibar. The accommodations are comfortable and well-maintained, the location is ideal, and the staff consistently demonstrate warmth and professionalism. The dining options are of an excellent standard, reflecting great care and attention to detail. In particular, Derek, the manager, stands out for his dedication and genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. His attentive support and willingness to assist in every way truly enhance the overall stay.

This hotel is amazing and perfect for a relaxing holiday. It is located in a secluded spot and protected by security 24/7. Very exclusive place as they only have 18 rooms which allows them to take care of all clients properly. We really enjoyed our private little pool and going to sleep only hearing the sea sound. The food is superb and the staff super friendly. Go there, you won’t regret it.

After an easy-peasy pickup from the ferry in Stone Town, we arrived at the Villa to be welcomed by a super friendly team and a romantic seafood dinner set for us right on the beach. It was perfection from the first moment! We spent a relaxing weekend enjoying the pool, walking on the beach, playing games, swimming in the ocean and eating the delicious food prepared by the Chef. We felt safe, pampered and well taken care of. Mr. Davies made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back!

Exceeded my expectations, starting with the warm smile and exceptional services from everyone. I booked the room just to be next to my friends who are staying at the next hotel which considered as five stars (THE NEST). And my friends got surprised that the location is very close to their Hotel and even stated that services, food, people and the tours arranged by Mem Luxury Apartments are the best in Paje.
