Coral Rocks Hotel & Restaurant

We really liked the friendly, helpful and easygoing staff. That really made our stay very very nice. We wanted to get away from Dar for a few days and Coral Rock was a perfect spot to do so. The infinity pool looking over the ocean was very relaxing (and well maintained). The room was clean and beautiful with a lovely view. We enjoyed their DJ on Saturday night and the activities they arranged for us (namely swimming with the dolphins - everything was well organized). We also felt that the staff were very accommodating, which we appreciated. The only thing I would say that Coral Rock is lacking in, is good food. The menu ideas are very nice but the execution is average...we just think they could really take this place to the next level with an inspired chef.

Poorly run hotel. Has a lot of potential. Food is good but very very slow. Management did not make an effort with guests & staff customer service was below average.

This hotel is in the perfect location for gorgeous views of Jambiana and the lovely blue sea. My room had a lovely sunken bed and a private roof terrace. It was let down by odd things like having cups but no kettle in the room - I was told I had to ask for a tea pot of hot water! Also, when I was shown the room it clearly only had sugar, and no tea or coffee in it. The receptionist saw this, but did nothing to top up my supplies. When I told another member of staff later they told me I was lying! Just an odd little disappointment. Breakfast was a bit basic as well, but all in all I could put up with all this due to the beautiful location

Quiet as well as things to do at night if you want. Lovely pool. Great sand and waters, plenty of places to eat along the beach. Lovely spot

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool was really nice. Location on the beach was perfect. Although the tide was out for a few hours each day if didn't impact on our stay.

This was one of the best vacations I have EVER been on! After the first day I spent in the cozy hotel, I didn't want to leave for the rest of the trip. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating and they were quick to help out with any of our requests. The food at the restaurant was amazing. My friends and I enjoyed everything on the expansive menu that we tried, and cleaned our plates every time. I would recommend doing the full-board option which includes meals because you won't want to eat anywhere else. Would recommend this hotel to anyone and can't wait to go back!

Would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Zanzibar! Perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the world. The hotel offers activities for guests to do over their stay (kite surfing, kayaking etc..), they even helped us find a place to do paddle boarding as they couldn't offer it to us. But you could literally spend all day every day in the resort and be happy! Don't even bother trying to find somewhere else to eat your meals, the food is AMAZING. It's a bit of a wait for the food (generally about an hour or sometimes more when it's busy) but i'm told that's how it is in Africa in general, but you wont be disappointed! Just order about an hour or so before you think you'll be hungry and you'll be okay! prices are really good too. The managers, Phillip & Castian (Sorry, don't know how it's spelled!) were just amazing guys and a great help to us throughout our trip, whatever we needed to know or wanted to do they helped us out as much as they could. Genuinely couldn't have asked for two nicer guys to be running the hotel, were sad to leave them by the end of our week there. The other staff were amazing too.

SadlY the management of this hotel left a little to be desired. The general hotel staff were great, and the beach was beautiful. It just seemed to be run by a less than enthusiastic, largely absent set of senior staff that were definitely not 'on the ball'. Hotel has a lot of potential...but we'd give it a few years and see what happens.

This hotel has a dramatic location on a clifff overlooking the Indian Ocean where the change between low and high tides was amazing. The lounge chairs, hammocks and other seating was in the shade providing a delightful spot to read and relax. The restaurant served a variety of different cuisines all of which were well-prepared. A major drawback was the distance from Stone Town and any shops or conveniences. Moreover, some of the amenities such as shampoo and lotions were missing, but could not be purchased due to the lack of shops nearby. Overall, we spend a relaxing and pleasant 4 days at the Coral Rock and would recommend it with these caveats.

This is a beautiful and scenic location though slightly far off from the city. The rooms overlook the ocean and it quite breathtaking. I had a very comfortable stay. The rooms are nice and comfy except for one small thing - the toilet did not flush properly in J2 ..hope they get it fixed. Apart from this everything else was perfect. This is a place to unwind , relax and do some quiet reflection. You will have to travel a bit as stonetown is pretty far off.
