The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Culinary Experience

I had the pleasure of enjoying dinner at Zanzibella, and the food was absolutely good! Every evening, I tried something different from the menu, and each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The breakfast buffet was a highlight too, with freshly baked goods, local jams, and a variety of fresh fruits. A special mention goes to their freshly cooked omelettes, which were made to perfection!

Relaxing Spa Experience

During my stay, I treated myself to a couples massage at the hotel spa. The experience was truly rejuvenating, with the therapist being incredibly skilled. The serene atmosphere made it even more enjoyable. I also appreciated the nightly entertainment events that added a unique touch to my evenings at the hotel.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

The room I stayed in at Zanzibella was surprisingly spacious and well-equipped. It featured a king-size bed, modern amenities, a kitchenette, and a beautiful balcony overlooking the garden. The daily cleaning service kept everything spotless, and I loved how they would decorate the bed with flowers during turndown service.

Great Evening Entertainment

I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of evening entertainment Zanzibella offered during my stay. Live performances were scheduled several times a week, creating a wonderful atmosphere. It was a fun way to unwind after a day of exploring, and I enjoyed mingling with other guests while listening to the music.

I had a lovely stay at this spa hotel, with incredibly clean and spacious rooms that made me feel right at home. The service from the staff was attentive and they went out of their way to make my experience enjoyable. The location near the beach was perfect for relaxation. However, while the dining options were good, I found them a bit limited, especially for breakfast. Overall, it provided great value for money!

7.6/10

I recently stayed at this spa hotel and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The rooms are spacious with nice bathrooms, which I really appreciated. However, there were some privacy issues due to the dark glasses used in the bathrooms. Service was truly exceptional; the staff were attentive and made an effort to connect with my family. The location is beautifully set right on the beach, but it's a bit detached from local restaurants and activities, so keep that in mind. The dining options were decent but could use more variety to be truly impressive.
