Fabulous paradise getaway at Aya Beach Resort
Pros:

We had a fabulous stay at Aya Beach Resort. From the first welcome to our last day, everyone went out of their way to look after us.
The resort is beautifully maintained, and designed so it feels like a peaceful tropical paradise, all facing the sea. We loved the facilities: restaurant, bar, pool, gym, yoga, volleyball etc and there were always plenty of sun loungers and sunbeds.
We also loved being able to swim in the sea towards high tide and then walk on the beach at low tide, with steps down directly from the bar.
We highly recommend staying here, a perfect getaway in Zanzibar.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Superplek, malediven vibe op zanzibar. Duikschool dichtbij (4 min lopen). Het resort is idylisch, mooie huisjes met buitendouche, heerlijke pina colada's, eten is super! Enige op Zanzibar die begrijpt dat tonijn rauw moet zijn aan de binnenkant. Lasagna ien burger, octopus, alles op de kaart is ook heerlijk. Personeel is lief en zorgzaam. Tienerdochters hebben geniten van buitengym. Verwacht geen professionele aparaten maar creatief met middelen die ze hier hebben. Hou je van die charme, ga dan zeker hier heen! Alles wprdt mooi schoongehouden! Oja, duikschool op 4 min lopen afstand!

Cons:

Er zijn wel wat verkopers op het strand, maar ja, iedereen probeert hier wat te verdienen, dat is logisch. Verwaxht buiten resort armoede. Mensen toch vriendelijk. Geen minpunt masr wat je moet weten: draag buiten lange broek en bedek je schouders als je het dorpje in gaat. Op het strand kun je uiteraard wel in bikini. Mooi strand met eb en vlied: soms struinen en hermietkrabvetjes zoeken, sons zwemmeb. Leuke variatie.

Top Boutique Hotel in traumhafter Lage
Pros:

Wir waren zu viert im Aya Beach Resort in Kizimkasi und hatten zwei wunderschöne Deluxe Villas mit Meerblick – einfach traumhaft! Schon beim Aufwachen den Blick auf den Indischen Ozean zu genießen, war etwas ganz Besonderes.

Das Resort versprüht pures Sansibar- Feeling. Alles ist mit unglaublich viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet und schafft eine entspannte, authentische Atmosphäre. Besonders gefallen hat uns das Barfuß-Feeling – Schuhe braucht man hier eigentlich kaum. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an wie im Paradies.

Das Essen war für uns eines der absoluten Highlights. Neben der abwechslungsreichen Speisekarte gab es jeden Tag wechselnde Specials, die hervorragend zubereitet waren. Egal ob frischer Fisch, lokale Spezialitäten oder internationale Gerichte – alles war von bester Qualität und mit viel Leidenschaft gekocht.

Auch das gesamte Personal war außergewöhnlich freundlich, herzlich und aufmerksam. Man wird immer mit einem Lächeln begrüßt und fühlt sich rundum willkommen.

Ein weiteres Highlight ist das Outdoor-Gym mit seiner besonderen Atmosphäre. Außerdem konnten wir tolle Ausflüge direkt mit den lokalen Fischern buchen – authentischer kann man Sansibar kaum erleben.

Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist hervorragend. Für einen tollen Preis wurde uns unglaublich viel geboten.

Wer einen entspannten, authentischen und wunderschönen Urlaub auf Sansibar verbringen möchte, ist hier genau richtig.

Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können das Aya Beach Resort uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team für diesen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt!

Exceptional stay in charming Boutique Hotel
Pros:

We stayed at Aya Beach Resort in Kizimkasi as a group of four and had two beautiful Deluxe Villas with ocean views – it was absolutely breathtaking!

Waking up every morning to the stunning views of the Indian Ocean was truly special.The resort perfectly captures the spirit of Zanzibar: every detail has been thoughtfully designed, creating a relaxed, authentic atmosphere.

We especially loved the barefoot feeling – you hardly need shoes here. From the very first moment, you feel like you've arrived in paradise.

One highlight was the outdoor gym with its unique atmosphere. Another real highlight of our stay was the food: in addition to the varied à la carte menu, there were daily specials that were outstanding. Whether it was fresh seafood, local Zanzibari dishes, or international cuisine, everything was gorgeous and prepared with great care and passion.

The entire staff was exceptionally friendly, warm, and attentive. We were always greeted with genuine smiles and made to feel welcome throughout our stay.

The opportunity to book fantastic excursions with the local fishermen directly on the beach gave us a truly authentic Zanzibar experience.

The value for money is excellent. We received so much for such a reasonable price, making our stay even more enjoyable.

If you're looking for a relaxing, authentic, and unforgettable holiday in Zanzibar, Aya Beach Resort is the perfect choice.
We would return without hesitation and can wholeheartedly recommend Aya Beach Resort. A big thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable!

Lovely place to stay, some facilities need a refresh
Pros:

The location just above the beach is lovely and the common areas are great. Food was good and the staff lovely.

Cons:

The room was small and the bathroom wasn’t in good conditions, felt dirty even if it was clean. The water was extremely hot or cold, not adaptable. The shower drain didn’t work properly.

Pros:

The staff , they were nice

Cons:

The shower and toilet in all rooms is outside, not inside the room, there is no privacy when you take a shower. We had to switch rooms twice because of a massive attack in the rooms of big & small ants and termaites. They were all over our cloths, shoes, walls. It was the worste stay ever and the hotel is not chip. We were so excited to leave, thank god it was only for 2 nights.

Pros:

The location of the resort and the restaurant on the sea is spectacular, especially during sunset. The menu is small, but the food tastes great. The staff is super friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. There are lots to do inside the resort such as volleyball, balls, gym, swim and looking for shells on the beach. A highlight was the trip to Maua caves to see the sea turtles.

Cons:

Everything was perfect

Génial !
Pros:

Nous avons passé un séjour absolument merveilleux à Aya Beach. L’hôtel est idéalement situé, directement au pied de la plage 🏖️, avec un cadre magnifique et très reposant.

La chambre est superbe, spacieuse et parfaitement équipée. Nous avons particulièrement adoré la salle de bain extérieure 🚿🌿, qui apporte une touche d’originalité et de dépaysement. La climatisation fonctionne parfaitement, ce qui nous a permis de dormir comme des bébés chaque nuit 😴✨.

Nous étions en demi-pension et ce fut une excellente surprise : les repas sont servis à la carte, avec des plats variés et absolument délicieux 🍽️😋. Chaque repas a été un vrai plaisir.

L’espace piscine est également très agréable 🏊‍♀️, avec de nombreux transats ainsi que des lits de détente confortables pour profiter pleinement du soleil.

Enfin, un immense merci au personnel ❤️. Toute l’équipe est aux petits soins, toujours souriante, attentionnée et disponible pour rendre le séjour encore plus agréable.

Nous recommandons cet hôtel les yeux fermés et reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! 🌟

Pros:

Geweldig verblijf gehad bij Aya Beach Resort! De locatie is prachtig, direct aan een mooi en rustig strand met schitterende zonsondergangen. De kamers zijn ruim, schoon en comfortabel. Het eten was erg goed en gevarieerd, en het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Een heerlijke plek om helemaal tot rust te komen. Zeker een aanrader!

Cons:

Ontbijt mag wat uitgebreider.

Pros:

Limpeza e cuidado de todo o espaço. Simpatia e cordialidade de todos os funcionários. Pequeno almoço, mesmo não sendo buffet, muito bom e completo.

Cons:

Almoço ee jantar clm
má relação qualidade-preço. Como a falta de luz na zona fecha o comércio local, ficamos sem alternativa ao restaurante do hotel. Experimentámos vários pratos e nenhum surpreendeu. Uma grande desilusão para um país com uma gastronomia tão boa.

Pros:

- El personal fueron todos muy amables
-La cocina increíble todo muy rico
-Recomendamos para el desayuno la tostada de aguacate
Nos mejoraron la habitación gratis ya que celebramos con ellos nuestra luna de miel y fue un detalle muy bonito de su parte. También cada mañana cuando nos hacían la habitación nos dejaban flores en la cama.
La piscina y las vistas son increíbles
Recomendamos sin duda este hotel

Cons:

-Aunque todo fue genial, si que tenemos que decir que el baño en la cabaña que son al aire libre es bonito pero poco práctico, ya que hay muchos bichos (Arañas, babosas, milpiés, mosquitos, hormigas..) e ir al baño sobretodo por la noche se hacía incómodo y complicado.
