We booked our holiday to Zanzibar and stayed at Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort. Everything worked well and Staff is really friendly. The pools are clean, and the perfect place to relax and the beach in great. Food is great and lots of variety of dishes. Every dinner they have different kinds of food with a changing theme and entertainment. We enjoyed every moment of the holiday.

We visited Royal Zanzibar for 2 weeks and had an amazing time. They offer a huge selection of food each day from 2 restaurants and popcorn is distributed at the beach bar each day. Ice cream is also available at the beach at a cost of $2. The hotel does many themed nights each week and our highlight was the beach party that included a live band with fresh fish, prawns and lobster available amongst an array of other selections of meat and pastas etc. All inclusive allows for you to enjoy local liquors.

The hotel is in a very good location and the beaches are beautiful. The sea is turquoise. Royal Zanzibar is advertised as a 5 star hotel and you won't be disappointed. The staff here have been nothing short of wonderful for us. We've showed them some attention and they have returned it three fold. Lovely local people who are a credit to the country and are genuine.


We stayed on the top floor that offered sea and swimming pool views over the whole hotel. The TV offered many channels which spoke English and 3 or 4 films at a time along with CNN and British news. We didn't spend an awful amount of time watching the TV but its there if you want it. The actual room has a huge comfortable bed & is regularly serviced and leave fresh water, new toilet roll and offer a turn down service with flowers etc.

Throughout the day the guest team offered many activities which varies from day to day. We particularly enjoyed water aerobics but got involved with most things. Beach volleyball and water polo is quite hard work but if you want something less taxing then boules and aerobics is for you.
We would definitely come again & will be telling our friends

I recently stayed at Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort with a friend. Upon passing through the front security gate, into the courtyard of the hotel, I was in awe of the vision before me of this beautiful resort. We were immediately greeted by the front desk/reception Staff and given hot towels to freshen up and a thirst quenching beverage. From this point, my stay became better and better. I found the Staff, from the waiters and bartenders to the housekeeping staff and the gardeners, all to be overtly courteous; I was always greeted with a sincere "Jambo". Every day I was asked how was my stay so far.

The meals were delicious with a variety of meals which also included local African dishes to sample. The resort’s location is super, being on the northwest coast, which made for unforgettable sunsets. The beach was one of nicest I have ever been on and offered good snorkelling right out front of the resort. The rooms (beds) were large and comfortable, and well decorated and the air conditioning made sleeping very comfortable. All in all, this luxury resort was the best I have stayed at, and left me wanting for nothing.
