Categories

Cleanliness
9.9
Generally described as clean and well maintained (one reviewer explicitly said 'Beautiful, clean'); minor negative mention of insects/reptiles which slightly detracts from an otherwise high cleanliness standard.
Service
10
Consistently praised: warm, friendly, professional and attentive staff; several reviews call out exceptional hospitality and helpfulness (assistance with curtains, room changes, translations, etc.).
Location
10
Beachfront, secluded and breathtaking — repeatedly described as a stunning, private beach and 'paradise on earth'; ideal for couples and romantic getaways.
Room Quality
9.8
Villas described as exceptionally spacious, comfortable and tastefully designed with private pools and hot tubs; some privacy/layout concerns (windows overlooking pool, jacuzzi visibility toward neighboring rooms) noted.
Amenities
9.8
Strong amenities (private pools, hot tubs, landscaping) and attention to detail praised; one drawback is the pool not being heated and limited nighttime swimming comfort when weather is cool.
Value for Money
9
High overall quality, but several reviewers flagged concierge/tour arrangements and taxi/tour pricing as inflated and pushy, which lowers perceived value despite luxury offering.
Food and Beverage
10
Food repeatedly described as excellent/great across reviews; multiple guests highlighted dining positively.
Overall Experience
9.9
Many guests called it magnificent and a paradise with wonderful memories and strong recommendations; a few minor issues (privacy, tour pricing, pests, pool heating) slightly temper an otherwise exceptional overall stay.

The pictures don’t do it justice 10/10 The staff were amazing, accommodating and friendly. The property was spotless
Pros:

If you are looking at the pictures of Safira Blu thinking "woooow" I just want you to know that it is the only place I have been to around the world that looks exactly like the pictures!
We went there for our honeymoon and from the moment we arrived, I realized we landed in paradise.
The atmosphere is so calm, and refreshing, the staff are incredible and the service is over the top!
Harry, the general manager welcomed us and made sure we have everything we need.
Happy from the spa gave us incredible treatments, and showed us so much kindness!
Juma the kitchen manager made us feel super special as if he is there for us 24/7!
All waiters, cleaners and service providers were extremely helpful and friendly.
Alan took us on a tour in their garden in which they grow the fruit, spices and everything else, it was lovely.
Such an amazing experience I would recommend anyone!

If you’re thinking about booking it, just do it. You will not regret it!
Pros:

Amazing, Amazing stay. We stayed in the Dhow for 7 nights for our honeymoon and can quite honestly say was the best holiday we’ve ever had. Staff are great & really attentive & try to make it as special as possible. The villa was unreal & the food / service in general was impeccable. Anything you needed was delivered to your villa within minutes & again the staff were just brilliant. Our new go to place in Zanzibar!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing - everything was impeccable

Pros:

A l arrivée nous etions bluffé par l’endroit et notre villa avec acces a notre plage privée c etait super

Mention pour le restaurant également qui était délicieux

Cons:

Attention! Nous avons attrapé des punaises de lit dans cet hotel dans la villa fisherman’s cove!
Mon mari a eu plus de 40 piqures en 24heures et nous avions pris deux jours la bas sans sortir de l’hôtel donc aucun doute pour la provenance…
Nous avons commencé a nous gratter sur le bed de la piscine et egalement au restaurant donc prenez garde

J ai du envoyer toutes nos affaires a la laundry de notre nouvel hotel Oasis blu beach adults only ( qui a tout pris en charge et qui par prévention changeait nos drapsntous les jours jusqu a la fin de notre sejour) donc mention speciale à eux et leur service

Pendant que le Safira blu nous propose un lunch dans leur restaurant en compensation du désagrément… j ai tous les mails et les photos pour preuves. Comme si nous attendions après eux pour manger après avoir payé plus de 2000$ les 2 nuits chez eux
Cela relève de l’insolence

It was the most relaxing and peaceful environment for a vacation.
Pros:

The villa was modern and excellent. I was really looking forward to every delicious meal. All the staff were genuinely pleasant and my favorites were Monica and Moses.

Cons:

It doesn't get any better than this. It's impossible to find anything negative.

A refaire avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme et très vite.....
Pros:

L'endroit est absolument exquis. Un vrai moment de détente. Les service est excellent, les gens sont souriant et d'une gentillesse qui fait plaisir à voir. Chaque demande est dans la mesure du possible exhaussé et à la satisfaction. Un grand merci au GM de l'établissement et au directeur en charge de la nourriture. Top

Cons:

Le seul bémol est le tour opérator à l'hôtel même. Ils exagèrent un peu sur les prix.....mais bon c'est de bonne guerre.

A luxurious beachfront escape with exceptional villas and warm hospitality.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful resort. It is located on a stunning, secluded beach that feels very private and peaceful. Our villa was exceptionally spacious, comfortable, and tastefully designed, with the added luxury of a private pool and hot tub. The staff were always friendly, professional, and attentive, and the food was excellent throughout our stay.

Cons:

The only disappointment was the concierge service. Instead of having an independent concierge, the resort relies on a tour company that seemed more interested in selling its own excursions than helping guests find the best options. Rather than presenting different competitive offers, the attitude was very much “take it or leave it,” with significantly inflated prices. For example, we were quoted $120 for transportation for two people to Baraka Aquarium, which is only about a 15-minute drive away. We arranged the same trip ourselves for $60. This was the only aspect that did not match the otherwise high standard of the resort.
