Everything was nice — except the food.
Pros:

The hotel is a small, 17-room resort that caters to people who want a quiet getaway with beautiful surroundings. Beautiful views with an exclusive feel seem to be the main reasons people choose this location.
Like everywhere along the East coast of Zanzibar, the tidal influence is strong and beaches are temporary, only really appearing during low tide. This location is no exception. When tide comes in the beach vanishes and sea comes up to the cliff face. But here when the tide goes out, an amazing, long, white sand bar that reaches back to the coralline shore appears, allowing for hours of exploration of the shallows and sunbathing.
The central area of the resort is the pool, terrace, and restaurant/bar. Situated on a limestone ledge above the water, the resort hugs the coast. The pool overlooks the ocean below the terrace where the restaurant/bar is located. There is also a spa (which we did not use) and fitness center just up the road towards the reception area. The fitness center has limited equipment but is sufficient for a light workout. Throughout the property, security staff are dressed in traditional Maasai clothing. A nice touch to try to connect the visitors to the African culture. The staff members were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The resort caters to people who want sunbathing and low key relaxation. Not very exciting and few on-site options for entertainment other than eating and relaxing. No nearby restaurants or shops that you can reach by foot. Taxis get expensive on this part of the island, so getting around can be a struggle.
While the most of the features of this boutique resort earn a passing grade, there is one feature that failed. Restaurant was very disappointing. In fact, it was probably one of, if not the worst culinary experiences at any resort that I have been to. A few examples: We ordered grilled beef medium. When it was served it was pan-fried, well-done, dry and tough. When we ordered fattoush salad on 2 consecutive days, we got something completely different. Flies everywhere on the restaurant patio. They need a bug zapper and/or fly paper. I was constantly defending our plates from the onslaught. I had to throw away 1/3 of my beer when two flies drowned in my glass. I can go on, but suffice to say the breakfast buffet was the best thing the restaurant served. As for the bar, it was okay. Cocktails are 10-15 USD, local beer 4 USD.
Internet is sometimes spotty, electricity drops occasionally but not for long periods of time. That’s why they have a small, rechargeable lantern in each room.
Each room has its own small “danish dip” pool. But the steps into the pool are narrow and the tiles are slippery, making it dangerously easy to slip and hurt oneself. I used it only once in my 3 nights to soothe an awful sunburn.
Rooms are a little “tired” and need some maintenance. The small gaps between and around the exterior doors meant that mosquitoes or small lizards had a clear path into the room. And they did take advantage of the gaps. These are minor maintenance issues and repairs that can easily be done, but often times don’t get done because management doesn’t think it’s important.

Would recommend to stay 1 to 2 nights for sand bank experience
Pros:

The biggest advantage of this hotel is beautiful sand bank. Rather than that I wouldn’t recommend.

Cons:

The hotel is supposedly newly opened, operating like 2 or 3 years only. But room (we had a suit)very outdated. Everything looks old and used, including the pool. Restaurant area is empty and luck of ambience. Also food definitely needs improvement.

The best holiday I’ve ever had. Amazing place to stay
Pros:

We loved everything! The rooms are lovely and pools totally private. Everyone is so friendly naturally. The spa was brilliant and food great.

Schönes Hotel für entspannte und ruhige Tage am Strand
Pros:

Jedes Zimmer hat einen privaten Pool mit Blick auf das Wasser, das war ein wirkliches Highlight.
Die Sandbank direkt am Hotel ist super schön und das Wasser ebenso.
Das Hotel ist sehr abgelegen, damit ist es wirklich schön ruhig.
Das Essen ist lecker, Personal freundlich.

Als Tipp:
Es lohnt sich zumindest Halbpension zu nehmen, weil es drum herum wirklich nichts gibt und man mit dem Taxi bis in die Stadt rund 25€ hin und zurück für die Fahrt zahlen muss…

Cons:

Es könnten ein paar mehr vegetarische Gerichte angeboten werden.
Sonnenschirme bei den Zimmern wären super!

Pros:

My stay at Oasis Blue Beach Resort exceeded all my expectations. The resort offers a truly exclusive atmosphere, combining refined elegance with outstanding service.

The location is simply perfect: situated on one of the most beautiful beaches of Nungwi, with crystal-clear water, white sand and breathtaking sunsets. What makes it even more special is that everything is close by, yet the resort itself remains peaceful, private and wonderfully exclusive, allowing guests to relax away from the busy areas while still being conveniently located.

I would especially like to highlight the exceptional quality of the services. The attention to detail, the professionalism and the genuine care for guests create a truly outstanding hospitality experience.

The management can be truly proud of their team, as every member of the staff contributes to making the stay unforgettable.

Special thanks to Esther and Milka for the perfect welcome and the excellent service.
My sincere appreciation also goes to Michael, Baraca and Elibariki for their kindness, attentiveness and warm attitude throughout my stay.

I would also like to thank Serafina, who took care of the cleanliness with incredible attention to every detail. The room was always immaculate and perfectly prepared.

Oasis Blue Beach Resort is a place where nature, elegance and exceptional hospitality meet in perfect harmony.

I will certainly return.
