Coral Rocks Hotel & Restaurant

Don’t recommend.

The views are incredible, they almost look photoshopped. I’ve never seen an ocean so blue and sand so white.
The bar staff and hotel crew were amazingly kind, they went above and beyond for us as well as the other guests we met there along the way.
The rooms themself are very modern with a solid WiFi connection and powerful Air conditioning. Plenty of electrical outlets which power both UK and EU plugs. There are plenty of comfortable places to sunbathe and lounge both in and out of the sun. The pool has a few different layers on the edge so you can either have just your feet in the water or your legs or your half body. The hotel also has easy access to the beach via a staircase. There are also a Masai tribe that guard the hotel 24/7 they are Incredibly friendly and will teach you a lot about themselves and the country/community.
One recommendation I make is to always ask the hotel staff to book you a taxi as they can get a good ‘local price’ they make sure you don’t pay too much. Very accommodating people. I would love to return

Very nice hotel next to the beach, friendly staff.

But dont go here on a Monday! We have stayed at noisy hotels in bar streets before, but this was something else. The hotel is literally a nightclub on every Monday, where it is impossible to sleep. Our holiday was ruined because of that. Would be nice to be informed before we booked our stay and not on our arrival.

Except for Mondays, great hotel!

I choose Coral Rock because it was an oceanfront, had a restaurant, a party scene, a pool and nice rooms. The staff was friendly and customer service was great. As a solo traveler most importantly I felt safe. The rooms were clean and had everything except a phone, face towels, a refrigerator, conditioner or a TV. Luckily, I didn’t need those things I was there to try the local food as well attempt to rest and relax. If you want to go out in the city you can walk but if you want to go to Paje were it’s more touristy they can help you find a driver and they are pretty cheap they will even wait for you if you ask. The property has many relaxing place chill but on mondays it comes alive. They have a Dj, hookah and food made to order so be ready to dance and make new friends.

Overall the stay was good, staff was friendly and breakfast was good. Some maintenance to the premises wouldn’t hurt and maybe a bit bigger menu would been nice but there are other good dining options near by. Pool is nice and cleaned every morning, they arranged good taxi (Bino) that took us to Jozani forest. All in all the stay was good and the view from the restaurant/breakfast area is amazing.

Good food, good service, everything was okay except my room door was unlock, despite maintenance service, otherwise excellent service

Wanted something different and quiet from the north side and enjoyed my time here for some rest and relaxation. Going out to the beach in low tide was excellent.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Coral Rock. It was a beautiful intimate location. The staff went above and beyond making sure I enjoyed my trip since I was traveling solo. I loved the design and attention to detail. I’m already planning my return.

Nice staff, amazing views. Only downside is loud music through monday nights but we were prepared and booked elsewhere for the night but it'd be great if you want to party.

Hôtel à éviter si vous cherchez la tranquillité. Nous sommes malheureusement arrivés un lundi et ce jour là c’est « party », musique à fond jusqu’à 4h du matin (on ne sait d’ailleurs pas pour qui car il n’y avait personne à l’hôte). Concernant les chambres, nous avions au départ une très belle chambre avec vue sur mer sauf qu’il a plu et que la chambre a rapidement été inondée à cause de fuite sur le toit. Nous avons eu une deuxième chambre dans laquelle nous ne sommes pas restés non plus car l’éclairage ne fonctionnait pas. Nous avons donc eu une troisième chambre où là c’est la climatisation qui ne fonctionnait pas… bref nous devions restés 2 nuits et sommes partis dès le lendemain matin. A noter que l’hôtel a tout de même fait le geste de nous offrir le dîner de la veille. Dommage qu’il y ait autant de dysfonctionnements car l’hôtel a une très belle vue sur la mer et une belle piscine

Allt bra förutom dålig wifi-täckning

Top! We had a very good stay there and the people were absolutely friendly.

Amazing view and setting. Good food. But loud during the day and night when they have their crazy Mondays.

Great customer service. Friendly staff. Good food and amenities. Great outdoor space. Enjoyed Monday and wednesday music events.

The food was very nice and value for money. The Room was very disappointing.It was not as shown on their website. The entire room was smelling like mold and it was impossible to sleep as the A/C was also not working properly. The price was too expensive for what I got.

The most unique thing was their racism....
Staff went to the same school of racial discrimination...

I have no more words to express my mistreatment.

And them not even wanting to accept that they do have a problem that needs to be properly addressed is a big shame..

There was too many issues with power.
Some days power would be there for 10 min and then go off for 2 min and this would continue a whole night.
Every time the air condition would have to be turned on manually. Other nights the power would be there but the air condition was running but not cooling just blowing air.

Wow we loved coral rock. It was beautifully clean. All The Staff are so so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The situation is outstanding. Quite a few Maasai on the beach are very friendly and certainly there is minor pester power there but if you say Hapana Asanté which means no thank you, they then stop bothering you. Another tip is to learn some Swahili and use it as much as possible.
The hotel dining is lovely and great food. You have to wait about an hour for your food anywhere you eat which for us we loved because it gives you a chance to relax , take in the surroundings and drink the amazing array of smoothies on offer. This goes for all restaurants. The food is cooked fresh which takes time. The seaweed is no problem certainly this time of year. Ridiculous to expect a hotel to clear the sand in front of the hotel because it is part of the locals revenue.
I would not hesitate to book through Expedia and stay in Coral Rock. The pool is fairly small but beautifully clean and doesn’t seem to get over busy at all. There are plenty of sun beds and umbrellas. Rooms are compact but clean . Good mosquito nets. This time of year we didn’t have malaria tablets and only saw 1 mosi !!! We did use mosquito bands though but didn’t need them. . Please go to Zanzibar support the local economy and don’t forget you are in a 3rd world country so don’t complain and just relax and enjoy.

A beautiful hotel with an amazing view of the Jambiani beach. The pool is amazing and it serves well when the tide is low. The rooms are good, could be improved but the cleaning service was on point. They provide beach towels as well and take good care of their guests. In the complex of the hotel there is an italian restaurant as well whose personnel I cannot recommend enough. We had breakfast there almost every day and lunch and dinner couple of times. The food was delicious.
Overall, a great experience and I would love to go back. If not for else, the view from the hotel was out of this world.

Séjour agréable.
Attention des yaxes de séjour de 9 dollars par jour par personne sont à rajouter.
