Relaxing Days in a Beautiful Oceanfront Resort
Pros:

Absolutely stunning resort with a sleek, eco-friendly design tucked away on the southwest coast of Zanzibar. Picture ten oceanfront villas, each with its own private pool, plus a handful of dreamy suites with uninterrupted sea views… pure paradise!
The vibe is all about peace, privacy, and pure relaxation. The staff couldn’t be kinder or more attentive, and Arjun, the hotel manager, deserves a special mention, he personally makes sure every guest feels at home.
The food was a real highlight: fresh, flavorful, and inspired by the best local ingredients. The chef not only cooks incredibly well but is also happy to tweak the menu to your taste.
Our suite was spacious, stylish, and super comfortable, every detail was perfectly curated. The resort also has two infinity pools, a private beach area with comfy loungers and umbrellas, and even two hanging hammocks where you can float above the ocean and watch the sunset… magic! There’s also direct access to the sea when the tide allows, great Wi-Fi, a small gym, and a relaxing massage service.
Outside the property there’s not much around, apart from the Turtle Cave and Secret Garden nearby, but honestly, you won’t want to leave. When the tide goes out, you can take a peaceful walk along the beach all the way to Kizimkazi local fishing village

Место, куда хочется вернуться
Pros:

Отель новый, ему всего три месяца.
Нас заселили быстро. Номер был с шикарным видом на море. Утром можно купаться в море, в 11-14 отлив, и после можно хорошо купаться. Мы плавали до пляжа, есть, где покупаться. Днем купались в бассейне (их два), места всем хватало. В общем, моря здесь достаточно, чтобы покупаться.

Мне понравилась атмосфера на отеле. Здесь настолько великолепно, что не хотелось никуда ехать. Я прям отсыпалась, наедалась, купалась. Я не хотела огромный отель, хотелось компактный, здесь это случилось.

Также была возможность сделать массаж прямо в номере. Очень хороший специалист, я получила расслабление.

В живую номер лучше, чем на фото. Уборка хорошая. Дважды в день. Было хорошей идеей взять номер с двумя спальнями. У каждой спальни свой санузел, что тоже было классно, не ждать очереди. В номере также была просторная гостиная с кухней (мы ей не пользовались). Кондиционеры были в каждой спальне и гостиной. Сам номер стильно декорирован. Как и сам отель.

Персонал вежливый, улыбчивый, хорошо все говорят на английском.

Так как это западная сторона, то здесь есть закаты, которые я люблю.

Wi-fi везде ловил достаточно хорошо.

Экскурсии. Недалеко есть Mtende Secret Beach, и пещера, где можно поплавать и покормить черепах.

Хочется отдельно отметить работу шеф-повара Ali. Мы ели такую вкусную и свежевыловленную рыбу, лобстеров, креветки! Даже рис и овощи был незабываемыми, безумно вкусно! Пишу и слюньки текут!

Также хочу поблагодарить Arjun за гостеприимство и организацию такого шикарного пространства!

Весь отель пронизан заботой, теплом и уютом.
Больших вам успехов, процветания! Это было приятное времяпрепровождение!

Pros:

Privacy, tranquillity, spotless surroundings, warm and attentive staff, comfortable transfers, delicious food and thoughtful touches like the surprise yoga session that made the stay truly special.

Nothing, but I wish they could add a jungle gym for kids in the future.

Ingesamt eine sehr exclusive Anlage mit tollem, freundlichen und engagierten Personal.
Pros:

Die Anlage ist neu ( 3 Monate) und schön und exklusiv gebaut und angelegt.
Der Hotelmanager ist extrem engagiert und hilft überall.
Der Koch hat ein Super Silvestermenü gezaubert.

Cons:

Der Pool und das Restaurant liegen leider etwas weiter weg vom Strand.
Es fehlt noch etwas „ Flair“. Kleinere bauliche Mängel müssen noch behoben werden.

Pros:

Sans aucun doute, l'une des meilleures expériences de ma vie. Un hôtel à la hauteur de son prestige, avec un staff au top niveau. Mention spéciale au gérant Arjun et au Chef Ali qui sont d'une gentillesse, d'un accueil qui frôle la perfection . Les plats étaient très bon.
Le lieu est magnifique, avec un cadre qui vous fige dans le temps ( fidel aux photos).
Pour notre part nous étions dans une des villa avec piscine privée et tout était confort et très propre. Le lit était parfait malgré mon exigence sur ce point .
C'est très dur de rentrer chez nous, mais si nous revenons un jour, nous savons où retourner.
Nous nous sommes bien reposé a Zanzibar au Johari Beach resort. Merci a Deborah pour les massages relaxants
Niveau qualité/ prix on a été largement satisfait.
Merci à toute l'équipe 😇🥰
