The perfect honeymoon
Pros:

We will remember this place forever. We spent the first week of our honeymoon at Dhow and everything was perfect.

The hotel has nice sunbeds in a intimate part of the beach, making it a lovely place to relax. The service was very good and every morning we were surprised with a delicious breakfast, and all staff members were incredibly friendly and helpfunctie.

The food was very good and the team was always happy to help organize any tour we wanted to do. Ahmet and his crew truly went above and beyond to make our honeymoon perfect.

The rooms were very clean, and waking up to the sea view every day was amazing.

Thank you for an amazing experience

Pros:

Все было отлично - номера, обслуживание, еда в ресторане (морепродукты особенно). Прекрасные закаты на террасе. Владельцы отеля и все сотрудники проявляли заботу весь период нашего проживания. Организовали ранний заезд и поздний выезд без дополнительной платы.

Cons:

Вокруг, отеля конечно, все так себе ) но это Занзибар, местный колорит ) и собственно к отелю не имеет отношения

Pros:

Amazing location and exceptional staff. The owners are present on-site and genuinely care about ensuring every guest has a great experience. The team is well-trained, attentive, and demonstrates excellent hospitality throughout the stay.

The location is ideal, situated right at the point where you can choose between quieter, more natural beaches or the livelier tourist area, giving you the best of both worlds.

Cons:

The pillows were a bit uncomfortable but that’s just personal preference

Pros:

Отдых в этом отеле оставил исключительно приятные впечатления. Очень красивый и продуманный интерьер, уютная атмосфера и внимательный персонал, который действительно заботится о гостях. Номера чистые, комфортные и стильные, все детали продуманы до мелочей. Особенно понравились тишина, удобная кровать и потрясающий вид.

Отдельно хочется отметить сервис — все вопросы решались быстро и с искренним желанием помочь. Завтраки были разнообразными и вкусными, а территория отеля идеально подходила как для спокойного отдыха, так и для красивых фото.

Это место, куда действительно хочется вернуться снова. Спасибо всей команде отеля за прекрасный отдых и атмосферу!

Klare Empfehlung!
Pros:

Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Uns wurde jeder Wunsch erfüllt. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Preise sind fair. Das gesamte Hotel war jederzeit sehr sauber. Die Zimmer werden zweimal täglich gereinigt. Wir würden jedem empfehlen, dieses Hotel zu buchen. Der Sonnenuntergang ist traumhaft!

Cons:

Wenn man hauptsächlich im Meer baden möchte, ist die Lage nicht optimal. Es gibt sehr viele Algen und das Wasser verschwindet durch die Gezeiten zweimal / Tag. Uns hat das aber nicht gestört.

Pros:

Great Stay at Dhow Beach Hotel

I had an amazing stay at Dhow Beach Hotel. From check-in, Rosina at the reception was incredibly warm, helpful, and went above and beyond, even assisting me with my phone connectivity and following up later.

I was welcomed with a drink of my choice, and the owners personally came to greet me, which was a lovely touch. The WhatsApp message with all the necessary information was very thoughtful and made everything seamless.

I got a room upgrade, which was very clean including all the other common areas. All staff, especially at the restaurant, were friendly and attentive.

This was a short, spontaneous trip during low season, but I still had a fantastic time. The only minor note is that I prefer a firmer, orthopedic mattress but that’s just a personal preference.

I would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

Cons:

The mattress as a personal preference

Gözünüz kapalı buraya gelin ve tatiliniz muhteşem geçsin.
Pros:

Öncelikle tesise adım atmamla kendimi evimde ve güvende hissettiren, her daim her konuda yardıma ihtiyaç duyduğunuzda yardım eden, hatta daha siz söylemeden bile önceden sizi düşünen önerilerde ve yardım tekliflerinde bulunan başta Ahmet Bey ve Ersoy Bey başta olmak üzere tüm ekibine tatilimi her türlü konuda destekleri ve bilgilendirmeleriyle unutulmaz kılan Dhow Beach otel ekibine çok teşekkür ederim. Otelin konumu, odaların hijyeni ve konforu, yemeklerin Zanzibar standartlarının üstünde olması ayrıca cezbedici özellikler arasında yer alıyor. Herşeyden önce bir kadın solo traveller olarak seyahat ettiğim yabancı ülkede kendimi asla yalnız hissettirmedikleri için ayrıca teşekkürler. Otele girdiğiniz andan itibaren türk misafirperverliğinin farkını öyle güzel hissettiriyorlar ki şüphesiz gözünüz kapalı muhteşem bir tatil için Dhow Beach oteli seçebilirsiniz. İsterseniz tur planları ve seçenekleri için de ayrıca yardımcı oluyorlar. Uçuş saatinizden ötürü erken check-in için hiç endişelenmeyin Ahmet Bey bizzat yardımcı oluyor bu konuda size ve evinin kapılarını size açıyor.
