Magnifique
Pros:

Un véritable petit coin de paradis, au calme, propre et parfaitement entretenu, avec un personnel très agréable. Je recommande vivement cet endroit si vous cherchez la tranquillité tout en restant à proximité de tout.

Cons:

Les repas n’étaient pas très variés.
Attention la plage n’est pas faite de sable blanc au bord mais il suffit de mettre des chaussures de plage et de marcher 5 mètres pour atterrir dans une eau cristalline digne des plus beaux endroits et le plus c’est que nous étions presque seuls au monde

It was an incredible 7 night stay! Loved the facilities by and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly.
Pros:

Quiet, out of the hustle and bustle with a great private access to the beach. Also really loved the pool

Cons:

Bar wasn’t always stocked and often didn’t have drinks that were requested.
Would have been nice to have a buffet for the all inclusive lunch and dinner.

Per me solo Tanzanite... per pochi, non per tutti...
Pros:

Se volete un villaggio con camerieri in livrea, acquagym con animatori entusiasti e bar con cocktail in piscina, ecco... andate nella spiaggia opposta (a ovest per intenderci) di Nugwi... ci sarà l'imbarazzo della scelta, con tanto di piattaforma con gonfiabili in mare!!!
L'Africa è un'altra cosa e il Tanzanite è uno degli ultimi baluardi rimasti.
Poca gente, silenzio rotto da corvi e il fruscio delle foglie delle palme, paguri che camminano nella sabbia del giardino, cibo semplice, poca scelta (il riso con pollo o pesce non manca mai) e servito con tempi africani... ma... vista spettacolare di fronte ad un oceano che ogni 12 ore si ritira e cambia completamente aspetto lasciando la possibilità di belle camminate nella sabbia con il sole che merita attenzione anche con protezione 50.
Mare balneabile per pochi intrepidi, dopo aver superato la costa piena di ricci.
Ma ne vale la pena.
Incontro con la natura possente africana assicurato.

A fuir.
Pros:

Rien du tout.

Cons:

Hôtel beaucoup trop cher pour le service proposé !
- Payée 800e pour 4 jours en demi pension, petit déjeuner incomplet, très peu de choix. Et au dîner, on nous annonce que nous avons le droit qu’a une seule entrée, un seul plat & un seul dessert. La boisson est a notre charge ( en demi pension c’est du jamais vu).
- pas d’eau chaude puis plus d’eau du tout.
- pas de frigo ni d’eau à notre arrivée.
- j’avais demandé une deco pour l’occasion de notre lune de miel & rien avait été fait alors qu’on m’avait dis par mail que le nécessaire allait être fait.
- la propreté des chambres & surtout de la salle de bain juste lamentable ( excrément sur la brosse à wc..)
- piscine avec eau salée.

Bien évidement rien de tout ça n’est précisé.
Aucune remise en question de la part de la manager & aucun geste commercial à voulu être fait malgré la réclamation. .

Pros:

We had an incredible stay at Tanzanite Beach Resort! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and valued. The waiters were exceptionally friendly, and the receptionist, Sweetness, was a delight to interact with. Even when we encountered a minor issue during check-in, the manager handled it with calm professionalism and ensured everything was resolved smoothly.
The beach was pristine and beautiful, and we loved enjoying the sound of the waves while having our breakfast. The views from both the restaurant and our hotel room were absolutely breathtaking. .
Overall, we felt incredibly comfortable and welcomed throughout our stay. We will definitely return and highly recommend Tanzanite Beach Resort to our friends and family. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

Cons:

The only suggestion we have is that the swimming pool is quite large for kids, so it would be great if they could have a dedicated, smaller pool for children

Pros:

The staff were welcoming, friendly, and consistently helpful throughout our stay. They were attentive and always willing to assist with any requests. The room was cleaned thoroughly every day and well maintained.
The hotel is also in a great location, close to various activities, many of which can be conveniently arranged with the help of the staff.

Cons:

The food could use some improvement overall, from breakfast through to dinner. Breakfast options were quite limited, and dinner menus felt a bit repetitive — potatoes featured heavily, sometimes prepared two or three different ways in a single sitting.
A small tip for future guests: it’s a good idea to keep track of your own drink orders. Somewhere between the waiting staff and reception, there seemed to be a bit of confusion during our stay — nothing major, but worth noting.
Overall, the experience was pleasant.

Ok but wouldn’t rush back.
Pros:

Location great. Walk along beach to busier parts .
Hammocks and gardens right close to beach give a very nice relaxing feel. Great for hammock / sea view reading, relaxing , photos etc..
Staff lovely and friendly .
Lovely gardens and plants etc.

Cons:

Breakfast needs work.
Small kettle for hot drinks which takes ages to boil like a travel kettle.
Instant coffee !! Not what you want at a quality hotel.
Strange breakfast selection which you kind of make the most of , then when half way through they ask if you want an omelette ? Why not ask at the start when being seated ?
Rooms need maintenance , ie ours and neighbours doors broken and wouldn’t lock. Maintenance came out to bodge them again.
Ate in the evening once which was expensive compared to other places. Glad we were only bed and breakfast as would have been really bored eating here morning and evenings.
Maybe we paid over the odds as booked at short notice ?!
Oh yes, no place to wash feet after beach so you walk sand back into accommodation which made it very dirty. Cleaners must be working overtime with all the sand in rooms. Easy fix required.

Excellent hôtel, avec un super personnel, je ne peux que recommander
Pros:

Le confort de l'hôtel, le personnel très serviable et souriant, l'emplacement, le calme, la vue,... nous avons adoré cet hôtel

Cons:

Peut être le petit déjeuner (croissant, pain ou Brioche par exemple qui n'était pas disponible mais nous étions en basse saison). Et le personnel nous a servi d'autres choses qui était aussi bon et dépaysant 😄

Pros:

Calm and nice area a bit off the beaten track - suitable for families and couples wanting tranquility. Food well prepared and rich breakfast selection. The beach is depending on the tides. Easy to access the sand banks at low tide (a must to see...)

zero hospitality, staff don't even know to apologise for these. they just acknowledge and stare
Pros:

The beach is stunning
Rooms are neat and clean

Cons:

it would help if the property advised guests to pack Aqua shoes as there's a lot of rocks and urchins in the beach outside the resort.
Rooms are not very comfortable, my kids room had only a bed and coffee table we requested a chair but was never brought.
They never replenish the toilet paper so we had to go request it and when it came it was one roll for a room with two people, this continued throughout our stay. Towels were not replaced too and we had to request every time we needed fresh ones.

BREAKFAST - Terrible, fresh grilled veggies, potato fried chips, bread and egg every day. Fruits were like two or tree kinds and very limited so if your the later than the start time you will not have. they had croissants (very hard and off) a few kinds of baked pastry. also had conflates and one other serial with no yoghurt.
lack or shortage of cutlery, they put food there and there won't be spoons or even the plates, should you request for anything it will be brought to you in 30 to 60 min while you trying to eat your breakfast.

Dinner - another terrible experience, potatoes in different forms, small pieces of chicken you won't even recognise which part it is. very limited food as if they don't know the number of their guests, even worse for New Years party. They wrote a set menu but there was nothing as promised, very disappointing and my kids hated it.

Very beautiful beach resort!
Pros:

The resort is super beautiful, internet was strong (thats rare in Zanzibar), huge territories and amazing sea views! The rooms were fine, comfortable and nice, as well as stuff - very helpful.

They gave us free late check-out which was so nice! The massage also excellent and pool area very beautiful.

Cons:

The breakfast is very poor, this type of hotel must have a way better!

Pros:

Krásný čistý a útulný resort, milý a usměvavý personál

Cons:

Po Zanzibaru jsem cestovaly zhruba tři týdny. Tento resort byl poslední, kde jsme chtěli nabrat sílu před odjezdem domu. Další 4 předchozí ubytování byly pomalu za poloviční cenu s jiným standardem. Když to tedy porovnám s těmi předchozími ubytováními tak tady: ani jedou nám nevystříkaly pokoj proti komárům (všude jinde běžná praxe), jeden den nám nadaly vůbec ručníky, druhý den jeden ručník 🥴, při příjezdu nebyl welcome drink ani mokrý ručník (všude jinde standard), snídaně rozmanitosti na takový resort dost ubohá - za vajíčko či párek si musíte připlatit což jinde rovněž nebylo.
Sečteno a podtrženo, je to krásný resort ale jinak pst na turisty. Za hodně peněz málo muziky. Sem se bohužel už nevrátíme.
