Amazing property staff very attentive and accommodating. The spa was absolutely amazing. The buffet was ok not the best. The rooms are spacious. The love entertainment is a great addition to the stay. The worst part was the haggling at the beach with the guys everyone’s selling the same things and it makes you not want to go on the beach because they are a continuous bother. Other than that the beach was clean, clear waters. Overall good place I would definitely recommend staying there id return myself.

The check in was not good! We waited over an hour and 20 mins to get our keys because our room was not ready! After the initial chat we were just left sitting there with no apologies! Eventually the Duty Manager came and accepted we had been waiting and offered us compensation of late check out which was appreciated, however we then continued to wait and when questioned how much longer the staff suddenly grabbed some keys and quickly marched us to our room with still no apologies! On the last day reception phoned us to ask why we had not checked out and did not seem to know of our offer. Very poor communication from front desk and not the best start! Our room was excellent size and had partial view of the sea and importantly was very quiet! The towels were past their best and old and we did not have turn down service and mosquito nets and spray 2 nights out of four! But the bed was large and comfy! The pool and beach are fantastic and all staff there work hard and always ready to greet with a smile.The beach is lovely and we did not feel overly pressured by the beach sellers unlike other reviews they were just friendly but accepted when we said no, and we felt very safe with the presence of the hotel security! The power cuts at first a minor annoyance but when it lasted an hour and I showered by phone torch started to be a bit of a pain, surely they have a generator, and the hotel next door lights seemed to be on,so not sure why that was! AI package is very restrictive.

The resort is old and in need of major updating. The staff were wonderful. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and helpful. However as much as I enjoyed all those who worked there the condition of the resort would not garner another return from me.

The resort is old and needs updating. The lights went out several times at night. The upside is they came back on after 30-45 seconds. The attentiveness of the staff is wonderful however not enough for a return visit nor would I recommend to anyone to stay there.

Starting off strong, bedsheets and pillows reeked of humidity, table cloths in the restaurants have oil stains on them. Some food are cold in the buffet (like soup) even if you go in the first 20 minutes. Plays horrible, horrible music at night- like Ciao Bella Club Remix level bad. And they BLAST IT so you hear it in your room as well. Also, they ask you for $95 to the airport, while a normal taxi around does it for 40, not even half. They try to charge you for everything, and it is in fact NOT all inclusive- only 4/5 cocktails included, e.g no tequila. On the bright side, the staff is lovely. They do their best to help you and make your stay better. The resort also “does not encourage to tip the members of staff” as they note on the briefing paper they give you in check-in, for some reason. Overall nice facility, relatively good food, large airy rooms, etc. Would recommend only for families with children or big groups, NOT for couples or individuals who pay attention to detail.

The Royal Zanzibar Resort has stunning views of the ocean, a white sand beach, plenty of activities to participate in, and gorgeous pools and restaurants. A highlight for me was eating at The Cliff Restaurant which has amazing views. The open air gym was nice for a workout in the morning. The room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. All the staff go out of their way to make your experience enjoyable. They advise you of the government imposed tax, and other than that, there were no hidden fees. The price I paid through Expedia included all I could eat and drink at the resort! I highly recommend this place. I travelled here alone as a woman and felt completely safe on the property.

Staff is friendly and welcoming. Perfect level of attention without being intrusive. Food is good - wide variety, fresh and well prepared. On-site kitchen garden is a plus. Amenities are good, beach is clean and inviting. The property is a good hotel. Solid, but it is not at the level of luxury.
