17. Breezes Beach Club & Spa – Half Board

Dongwe

"If you want to enjoy beaches on the East coast of Zanzibar, which are clean and not overcrowded, Breezes in Dongwe is a good place to go. For a half board and not an all inclusive hotel, Breezes is relatively expensive in comparison, because the room rates are high and you will pay every lunch and every drink extra. The food and the drinks are good but not as good as the room rate and the prices (to be paid in US Dollars) would suggest and it might not be the cook’s or the barman or barmaid’s...

"It’s a beautiful property but a lot can be done to improve it .. The food wasn’t very ideal for everyone , can you plz get a chef that can make regular buffet for foreigners please . The WiFi kept going on and off it’s frustrating if you’re in a foreign country . Other than that it’s a beautiful property , great staff just needs to be updated the furniture isn’t stable , the food is not good at all . It’s nice they have an airport shuttle makes it so much easy to get to and from the airport...

JAZ Elite Aurora

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful resort. Interior, resort grounds and the rooms were impeccable but what made this resort exceptional for us were the staff. Everyone was just so attentive, friendly and helpful. A special mention to Halidi at the kid’s pool, such an amazing young man. Him and Jafari were just brilliant with our little boy. Elizabeth at the beach bar. What a wonderful person. Honestly, some of the nicest people we’ve met. The resort itself is located in quite a secluded area and a distance away from a lot of the excursions, this wasn’t an issue for us but worth noting."

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Very recommended! Amazing hotel! Great location. Extremely helpful staff!!!"

Melia Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"The best place i have visited. It made me feel at home"

JAZ Amaluna - Adults Only 16+

10/10 Excellent

"Not one complaint 10/10 everyone was nice the food was amazing great shows we loved it so much we had to stay and extra day and we were so mad we had to leave will definitely be coming back !!!!!!!!!!"

Tembo Kiwengwa Resort

8/10 Good

"I don't really stay in resorts so I don't have much to compare. The grounds, facilities and rooms were immaculate and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The view from my room was stunning and the beach was also immaculate. Some things did come up that made my stay a little less enjoyable. This is an alcohol free resort, this was my fault for not realizing but there were restaurants nearby that served alcohol We left our previous hotel to catch a flight to Zanzibar at 4am. We arrived at the hotel starving. Unfortunately it was in between breakfast and lunch so no food options. We were advised that there were restaurants that serve all day which was not the case for us. We went door to door and were told 12:30. We finally found one and it took 1 hr and 15 minutes for our food which was past 12:30! We would have been fine with a premade sandwich Other minor things, we could not have 2 keys for our room so my friend and I couldn't really do our own thing without one of us being locked out. It also would have been helpful to have an ATM nearby. We wanted to leave tips but ran of of cash"

Fruit & Spice Wellness Resort Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing! Very quiet during late July, but the staff were so lovely. Food was great, pool, rooms everything just great. Just an absolutely perfect place. Big shout out to the lovely Venson."
