Everything was perfect, from planning the birthday surprise in advance to our departure. And above all, everything was amazing during our stay. The entire staff is world class. The room was perfect. On the day of departure, we were even able to leave our suitcases at the reception without any problems and were able to use the hotel area/pool area until our departure in the afternoon and continue to enjoy the great service. A huge thank you also to Omar, who is super attentive and fulfills every wish. See you again!🙂

I have returned after 2 years to Kupaga Villas and must say that it is still the perfect beachfront luxurious boutique hotel. Now even more beautiful with renovated bar/restaurant area. Perfectly located in the Jamiani Village with small shops around the corner, close to the spectacular dunes and ocean landscapes. With lovely huge rooms, balconies with sea views, amazing pool, delicious food and drink options for reasonable prices. Perfect spot to unwind and have a happy time. The biggest asset of the hotel is the great service and super friendly staff. A big thank you to all the crew members for all your friendliness and profesionalism! You made my stay just perfect. I would return to Kupaga Villas anytime Asante! KR, Piotr

I highly recommend this hotel. The hotel is extremely well-kept, clean and pleasant . The rooms are cleaned twice a day. The breakfast buffet was really excellent. The choice of food is huge and the food is tasty and fresh. The area around the hotel is quiet and safe. A huge advantage of this place is the cultured and nice but non-intrusive staff. It didn't personally bother me, but the beach (like most beaches in Zanzibar) with a lot of seaweed and at low tide it is not possible to swim in the ocean. On my next visit to Zanzibar I would definitely choose this hotel again.

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.

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.
