A fantastic place at Paje Zanzibar. Thanks RRV Expedition for all the arrangements.
Pros:

What a fantastic spot in Paje, Zanzibar! The food at the Ocean Restaurant is top-notch, and the DJ night was just awesome. Big thanks to RRV Expedition for taking care of all the arrangements.

The staff here are simply amazing, especially Martha. She went above and beyond to look after all our requests, and even surprised my wife with a birthday cake at the Rock Restaurant.

Overall, it’s a fantastic place with great food, lovely people, and unforgettable vibes. Highly recommended!

Brilliant hotel with excellent customer service
Pros:

Had a lovely stay here, staff are super friendly and can’t do enough for you, accommodation is excellent and very clean and you are right on the beach. Ocean restaurant is attached to the hotel and does a nice breakfast for residents and is then open for lunch and dinner (very reasonably priced). There is also a lovely bar area and a couple of small supermarkets easily walkable should you need anything.

A piece of heaven
Pros:

The best experience I could imagine.
Everything was set upon our arrival at 3 AM, and we had the possibility to check in in the morning. The room was beautiful, with an even more beautiful view. Our feet were on the beach just steps away from breakfast; everything was clean and cozy! A lovely surprise for my sister’s birthday was prepared before we arrived, and there was no need to mention it. Everyone knew exactly what to do, and we were surprised with photos, while everyone came to sing and dance. It was amazing.
The food is authentic and tasty, whether you choose from the menu or during the special nights with a buffet and music.
And last, but most importantly, the people who received and took care of us were absolutely amazing! Kind, always available, always with a smile. I really hope to come back!

Pros:

Super nettes Personal, gute frühstücksauswahl und das Kaffee und Restaurant waren auch gut. Die Zimmer waren schön, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Shampoo und Duschgel waren vorhanden. Ausflüge und Transfers wurden zuverlässig für uns organisiert. Es gab immer mal wieder Stromausfall, das war aber in der ganzen Gegend so.

2nd visit and even better!
Pros:

We have come to the end of our 2nd magical holiday in Zanzibar.
It's also our 2nd stay at Paje beach apartments and it's even better than before. (Last visit was Dec 2018)
The upgrade to the pool area makes a significant difference, 2 pools with loungers, a few steps from the gorgeous ocean, make this place very special.
The food in Paje was as delicious as before.

Mr Kahawi (2 min walk down the beach) was still our go to for breakfast (also the BEST cappuccinos!), lunch AND dinner menu is great, probably the best setting on the beach. Great live music too.

Mahali (next door to Mr Kahawa) is also good for food options and having drinks overlooking the sea. Very special! Delicious Paje Fish Curry and best hot chips!

To the left of the apartment is Delight Zanzibar which serves the most outstanding pizza and greek salads! No alcohol allowed there though, so if this is an issue take the pizza away. Also they don't accept credit cards, only cash or PayPal.

We shopped at the brilliant new supermarket (5 min from the apartments), very impressive!
Benton food stalls are a must, delicious burgers, hotdogs, ice cream and just a good selection of food options (just 3 min up the road from the supermarket).
Worth a walk along the main road (10 min from apartments) as we found a great bakery and cool spot for breakfast at The Garten hotel, there are also banks and Bureau de Change etc.

The Paje apartments was still the best accommodation for us.
The large, comfortable bedrooms and small kitchen with dining table and lounge area was a huge advantage. Fridge, toaster, microwave, oven, kettle... all the amenities to make it a comfortable stay.
A large drinkable water dispenser is in the apartment and topped up regularly which is a great addition!
And the fans and aircon are a win, as always!!
The staff are very helpful and friendly, there are MANY power cuts during the day and night and they are always on hand to try and sort it quickly.
Everyone is kind and always ready to help or offer a smile.
A special mention of Didi from Buccaneer diving who was remarkably kind to our kid and took him for a swim with scuba gear in the pool. What an absolute gem of a human!!
Also do treat yourself to a yoga class with lovely Agnes (Tuesday & Friday 07h30) - gorgeous way to start the day!

We felt very safe and the Paje apartments are super safe, we often forgot sunglasses or goggles at the pool overnight and they were still there the next morning.
This is a holiday we will certainly be doing again, I would HIGHLY recommend a visit!
Thank you to all the staff at the apartments for a fabulous holiday! Happy New Year!

Our fantastic stay at Paje Beach Appartements
Pros:

As a family with 4 teenagers we stayed in Paje Beach Appartments for 11 days. We have enjoyed it só much. The appartment (4p) as well as the hotelroom (3) were as clean and neat as possible. The people working here, at the bar and restaurant, the reception and cleaning service are always very friendly and helpful. The pool is perfect, fresh and always clean. The location is fantastic, directly situated on the white beach, right next to the Buccanneer Diving Centre and Aquaholics Kite & Surf (which we can recomand as well!).
Last but not least the breakfast, lunch en diner are also very good. Thank you so much for our great vacation team PBA. We will definately come back ☀️.

Pros:

Pros: nice staff, helpful.
Cons: room 108 is a very noisy room, it’s basically a pubic walk way to the diving school, there is constant coming and going’s outside your door. I lost count of the amount of people that stand outside this room and stare at themselves in the mirrored door to this room, it’s very annoying. Also this property has several power cuts a day, one power cut lasted well over an hour, I went to the ATM in town to pass time during the power cut, I came back and still no power. Then there was a power cut late in the evening when I was having a shower and the water went cold, it was pitch black and I ended up colliding with the bathroom door trying to find my way to my phone so that I could use my phone light.
Also very annoying is the people that constantly hatrass you on the beach, they are relentless, ut becomes very stressful asking to be left alone every 5 minutes. I wanted to just have a peaceful walk along the beach and it is impossible. I even put my headphones on in the hope that I wouldn’t be harassed because I couldn’t hear them, but they walk alongside you anyway and persistently try getting your attention. I would not return to Zanzibar again because of this.

Pros:

Firstly, the employees are great and very helpful! The hotel is right on the beach, and close to other beach hotels, and restaurants. Easy access to kite surfing, scuba, and jet skis. You can also walk out what seems to be a mile into the ocean without having to swim. Beautiful beach!

Having got the larger suite, bedroom, bathroom, and balcony were 10/10. The entrance room however was a little dirty, and the amenities, were a little dated. The couch is definitely not to be slept on either. However, having seen my friends single room booking, I would probably choose that next time instead!

The restaurant on the facility is great, the coffee/ smoothie bar is 10/10 and the food is also never a miss. The view from the bar and restaurant are also a perfect place to relax and unwind. There are people offering massages, Masai handicrafts, and other locally made items on the beach, (they are not overbearing, and very polite)

The walk from the facility to the Main Street is a bit odd at night, however I wouldn't skip it! The Zanzibar people are friendly, and mean you no harm! (just bring a flashlight as it is dark.) There is a small food court right next to the mosque, with familiar foods. But my favorite food the whole trip was actually from the street vendors just down the road!

I would definitely stay here again!
