Soggiorno da sogno
Pros:

La struttura è bellissima, dotata di tutti i comfort. Lo staff è semplicemente meraviglioso, professionale e amichevole nello stesso tempo, sempre pronto a mettere l’ospite a proprio agio. Il cibo è incredibilmente vario, freschissimo, abbondante e soprattutto buonissimo, sempre presentato dallo chef con grande cura.
Le camere sono ampie e spaziose dotate di tutti i comfort, di una veranda e di una terrazza privata. Il giardino è tenuto con grande cura, la cui vista si fonde con l’oceano. Meraviglioso!
Infine, ogni serata è arricchita da intrattenimenti sempre diversi che rendono ancora più piacevole il soggiorno.

Cons:

Nulla. È stato tutto semplicemente perfetto.

Pros:

Staff is very welcoming and friendly. We thoroughly the buffet. And the pools

Cons:

I dont know if they use a septic system for the toilets but occassionally there was a very unpleasant smell. We had to put the scent diffuser in there.

Pros:

Unser Aufenthalt war einfach unglaublich! Das Hotel ist makellos sauber, traumhaft auf einer Klippe gelegen und der perfekte Ort für alle, die Ruhe und eine echte Rückzugsoase suchen. Jeden Morgen in diesem Paradies aufzuwachen und den atemberaubenden Ausblick zu genießen, war etwas ganz Besonderes.

Das gesamte Team ist außergewöhnlich herzlich und engagiert. Besonders Peter und Sara haben unseren Aufenthalt perfekt gemacht – ihre Aufmerksamkeit und Freundlichkeit haben dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen und rundum wohlgefühlt haben.

Und vom Essen ganz zu schweigen: einfach unfassbar lecker! Jede Mahlzeit war ein echtes Highlight und mit viel Liebe zubereitet.

Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können dieses Hotel von Herzen empfehlen. Vielen Dank für diese unvergessliche Zeit!

Good for a short stay but wouldn’t recommend for exploring Jambiani
Pros:

The pool and entertainment was nice , staff was lovely

Cons:

- We had no WiFi throughout our stay very bad service and hotel wifi not working we had to use our own but service was bad and was never fixed or followed up on when we spoke to management on first day .
- We had no proper hot water majority of our stay to shower with
- very limited food options for breakfast and dinner not ideal for anyone who has dietary restrictions or allergies although they try to accommodate you, food is very limited !
- a lot of constructions going on around the hotel which we were not made aware of till we arrived
-There’s not a lot of entertainment or creativity only a few shows and dances at dinner time but nothing during the day .
- The only proper food that was served was lunch time but you had to PAY which I found very unfair as the dinner options were very limited compared to a PAID menu
- we have breakfast and dinner included and during these times your only allowed water or juice which is ridiculous and not mentioned you need to pay extra for drinks such as coke

Good for a short stay but wouldn’t recommend for exploring Jambiani as it’s in the middle of nowhere

Perfect Boutique hotel with the best view and amazing Staff
Pros:

The best hotel we stayed in Zanzibar, we stayed in 3 different hotels, including a five star one and I can say that Kaskazi was the best by far. All the staff makes everything to make you feel happy and comfortable. Peter, the manager is the most kind and polite person ever and Sara from "guest relations" is amazing, polite and sweet with super local tips and made sure we had local interesting performers on the entertainment every night! We loved all the night activities. The bedroom was amazing (the bathtub was a really good touch) the views from anywhere in the hotel are spectacular and you cant believe how beautiful it is , the pool in front of the ocean is incredible, lots of chairs to sit and relax, read. Everything was perfect. We had to leave at 4 am because of our flight and Peter made sure we had our breakfast and water to go! So sweet, we could not believe! The best of the best!

Cons:

Nothing.

Alles war ganz wundervoll!
Pros:

Wir waren für unsere Hochzeitsreise im März 2026 im Kaskazi und haben uns dafür die Villa mit privaten Pool gebucht. Der ganze Aufenthalt war einfach fantastisch und ich wüsste wirklich nicht was man hier noch verbessern könnte.

Check-In/ Check-Out: Sowohl der Check-In, wie auch der Check-out verlief reibungslos und wir wurden jederzeit von dem überaus freundlichen Personal sehr gut betreut. Sie hatten auf jeden Frage eine Antwort und wollten jedes Bedürfnis erfüllen.

Zimmer: Unsere Poolvilla war sogar schon fertig als wir angekommen sind, ein besonderes Highlight war wirklich, dass uns anlässlich unseres Honeymoons ein mit viel Liebe zum Detail dekoriertes Zimmer erwartet hat. Im allgemeinen hat die Poolvilla unsere Erwartung mehr als erfüllt. Alles ist sehr privat und man hat das Gefühl ganz alleine zu sein. Das Bett war sehr bequem und die Möbel/ Ausstattung sehr komfortabel und es war jederzeit unglaublich sauber.

Restaurant: Anfangs hatten wir Buffet, doch weil wir in der lower Season waren, wurde das Essen auf a la carte geswitcht, was allerdings wirklich kein Nachteil war. Das Essen kam einer Sterne Küche nah und es gab immer genug Auswahl, da hat jeder etwas für seinen Geschmack gefunden.

Personal: Wirklich, jede einzelne Person vom Personal, egal ob Rezeption, Küche, Kellner, Roomservice, Massage, Bar oder Management, ALLE waren ausnahmslos freundlich und zuvorkommend! Wir haben uns die ganze Zeit sehr wohl gefühlt!

Massage: natürlich haben wir uns auch eine Massage gegönnt, die Preise sind zwar westlich aber absolut das Geld wert! Sie war unglaublich entspannend und wohltuend!

Der Strand und das Meer war atemberaubend schön, die Lage vom Hotel ist eher ruhiger aber dafür einmalig was die Aussicht angeht, aber ich denke das wird man auf den Fotos gut erkennen.

Pros:

We loved the warmth and kindness of everyone. The food was good, the pool area was relaxing, and the suites were comfortable. The staff were so friendly and helpful. For instance, when my daughter wanted a float for the pool, they sent someone into town to purchase one for us. We took full advantage of the gym and spa, both of which helped make for a full experience.

Cons:

There is little to complain about as they really go out of their way to do whatever they can to make your stay enjoyable. The water pressure was a bit tricky (strong for 5 seconds, then weak), but it was understandable given the solar heating system they had.
