I've been staying at Karafuu Beach Resort for a few weeks each time for the past 2 years. I have seen the hotel in every season and had the chance to enjoy some of the different room types. The complex is huge, beautiful and got some really secret lovely spots to relax and at the same time shared spaces to enjoy the company of other travellers. The hotel has bars (3 around the resort), a pool table, Gym, tennis courts and table tennis, a spa, diving centre, 4 swimming pools and a great beach. There is also an entertaining team that offers beach trips, Swahili lessons, pool activities and more.

Rooms are spacious and offer all that you need, each part of the resort has its own magic. The Resort Management, reception and staff is just great and attend to every need with patience and care! Food and Bars are run exceptionally well, service is very good and also Kitchen team is aware and attentive to kosher issues and special diet requests...
I have also had the opportunity of attending a Christmas Gala Dinner. The dinner was just amazing! The Italian ownership was well presented, full with imported sausages, cheese from around the world, plenty of sea food. The best I’ve seen on the island. Every evening there is an entertainment show and the bar is open till midnight. Dinner is also served twice a week in the nearby “Masai village” dining room that is just fun, it’s under the stars with a bonfire in the middle, giving a feel of true Africa.

The view from the resort on the amazing Indian Ocean tide is like looking at an ever changing colorful picture.

I was very pleased with the service that my wife and I received at the Karafuu Hotel in Zanzibar.I couldn't have asked for a better experience at the hotel.

We stayed for four nights at Karafuu Beach Resort in Zanzibar. We loved the relaxed atmosphere there after a hectic week on the mainland. Karafuu sits in very nice surroundings directly on the beach and it is beautifully laid out with space between huts and open footpaths. The huts are spacious. We recommend staying in a hut in the front row at the beach. We also recommend taking the All Inclusive option. In addition to the many choices of foods it gives you, it also gives access to unlimited drinking water (and in a hot climate one needs gallons), local beers (such as Serengeti and Kilimanjaro), wine and local drinks.

We simply enjoyed the big saltwater pool facing the beach. On the beach Karafuu has constructed a concrete jetty leading out into the sea across the hard and rocky inner part of the seabed. Near the end of the jetty there are many varieties of lagoon fish that nibble at the algae on the sides of the jetty. It was very easy and safe to snorkel there.

The fitness centre has a good variety of equipment to use. There is air-con and free drinking water and towels.

We had a lovely time staying at Karafuu and recommend it to anyone wanting to travel to Zanzibar.
