Un séjour exceptionnel, surtout grâce à une équipe formidable
Pros:

C’est la première fois que je prends le temps d’écrire un avis sur un hôtel, mais mon séjour au Zanzibar Queen méritait vraiment que je le fasse.

Je suis venue seule avec mes deux enfants de 11 et 13 ans et, dès notre arrivée, nous nous sommes sentis incroyablement bien accueillis. Le personnel est d’une gentillesse et d’une attention extraordinaire : toujours chaleureux, souriant, disponible et aux petits soins, tout en restant très naturel. On ressent une vraie bonne entente au sein de l’équipe, et cela crée une atmosphère familiale, intimiste et profondément humaine qui, pour moi, fait toute la différence.

L’hôtel est extrêmement reposant, avec un jardin luxuriant, une grande et très agréable piscine (et une seconde plus intimiste), une jolie plage et différentes activités proposées pour ceux qui le souhaitent. La nourriture est variée et de très bonne qualité.

Mais ce que je retiendrai avant tout, c’est cette ambiance si particulière et la qualité humaine de toute l’équipe. Nous nous sommes sentis bien, tout simplement, et cela a rendu notre séjour vraiment spécial.

Un immense merci à toute l’équipe pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse. Nous ne vous oublierons pas et reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Ansante Sana!

Pros:

Le confort du lieu, les prestations, l’emplacement, la vue mer

Cons:

Trop de démarchage dès qu’on met le pied sur la plage il faudrait voir à minimiser ça car ça ne donne pas envie d’aller à la plage
Et également le fait (même si elles sont balayées quotidiennement) qu’il y ait beaucoup d’algues sur la plage ce qui gâche un peu la vision paradisiaque de la plage

Great resort...food was the standout.
Pros:

The hotel puts you in the holiday mood instantly. Well appointed rooms, well-maintained lawns, activities, 2 pools.

Food was the standout...we took the half board and it was the best decision cos food was great, flavourful, new options each day, you could even swap to pizza (which our teens were very happy about), not all dinners were buffet styled but in spite of the curtailed a la carte there was enough variety and each dish came well plated and good portions...also there aren't any close by restaurant options either so venturing out at night is not the wisest. They have live music on alternative days and one night they put all their tables around the pool for a bbq night and it was the most gorgeous set up which most other hotels would normally have charged additional. The service is great.

We went during the football fever ie world Cup and although there are no TVs in the rooms they set up a screening room and it was yet another hang out area.

Cons:

The sandy beach was really nice but due to the tides it isn't always possible to swim in the shallow sea. Also yr always approached by locals trying to sell you something, but that's across all beaches that we visited around.

Driving distances to other sights are far and due to road conditions, the road is the major part of where you spend most of yr time on tours if you choose to base yrself in one place and take tours like we did. But coming back to the hotel each day felt great especially looking forward to the evening meal.

The best hotel we have ever stayed in
Pros:

Everything with Queen was wonderful. Especially the staff, which fixed everything we wanted in a perfect manner. They were very polite and respectful. We also really appreciated that the hotel was clean all the time. The food was also amazing, and we always had the opportunity to choose to either try something new, or to eat a familiar dish. No matter which we chose, they were very good.

WOW – Willkommen im Paradies!
Pros:

Uns hat einfach alles gefallen. Die ruhige Lage in Matemwe, fernab des Massentourismus, vermittelt das authentische Sansibar-Gefühl. Die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön angelegt, sehr gepflegt und von viel Grün umgeben.

Besonders hervorzuheben sind das unglaublich freundliche und herzliche Personal, die komfortablen Zimmer, die beiden Pools sowie das abwechslungsreiche und sehr leckere Essen. Auch der Fitness- und Yogabereich mit der tollen Aussicht hat uns begeistert.

Ein unvergesslicher Moment war die Geburtstagsüberraschung für meine Freundin mit Kuchen, Wein und einer Gesangseinlage des Teams. Man fühlt sich hier nicht wie ein Gast, sondern wirklich willkommen.

Dazu kommen die traumhaften weißen Sandstrände, die Ruhe, der beeindruckende Sternenhimmel und die entspannte „Pole Pole“-Mentalität. Für uns war dies die Unterkunft, die das Lebensgefühl Sansibars am besten verkörpert hat.

Cons:

Wenn überhaupt, dann nur, dass wir gerne länger geblieben wären. Die Unterkunft, das Personal, das Essen und die gesamte Atmosphäre haben unsere Erwartungen übertroffen.
