TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

IN ONE WORD - AMAZING!

Was fantastic Maybe I would re think it as a honeymoon destination as there were a lot of kids there especially using the pool. Otherwise just fantastic.

Do not stay at this hotel. It is definately not a five star resort! Let me start with the cons 1. Safe not working. Brought to the attention of guest relations manager and fixed 2. Telephone line not working at all. Bear in mind, there is a long walk between ocean view suite and reception to bring up issues. There is a WhatsApp line to guest relation manager but when u have a query in the middle of the night you are facing a long walk. 3. The pool side first aid kit consists of one unsterile glove, unsterile cotton wool and calamine lotion!!!! No antiseptic or proper first aid kit! My daughter had a cut at the pool, and my husband had to run to our rooms to get first aid. Luckily, I am a doctor, and cane prepared. 4. Electricity cuts mean you waking up at least 4times a night to switch the aircon on. Temperature rises quickly. 5. Rooms are very dated 6. All inclusive is not all inclusive. Between breakfast and lunch, even tho we were willing to pay for food for my 3year old to snack on between meal times, we faced uphill and I had to escalate to the assistant GM. Ridiculous! Five star resort my foot! Pros: 1. Staff very friendly. 2. Water pulls back with tide exposing the reef which is anazing to explore. We saw clown fish, star fish, sea cucumber, spongy ink fish. It was incredible. 3. Meal times have a sufficient spread of food 4. Theme nights were really special I would definately not stay here again. They should have their star rating reviewed urgently

Service was incredible. Food was good, with a lot of options. The room was beautiful. It was a lovely 4 days. The shows were entertaining. Thank you.

The grounds were well maintained. It is a beautiful beachfront property with lots of amenities. The staff is the best part of the resort!!! They were friendly and accommodating. The spa services were amazing!! The only issues I had with the property was that all the restaurants are open-air therefore flies, mosquitos, and other flying insects were harassing us while we ate. I did not enjoy this. We had to wear bug spray every time we went out the room. They need to invest in a good exterminator and the fans that sit at doors of restaurants that keep the flies out. The power kept going out; however, I think this is an island problem and not neccessarily the hotels issue. Our telephone didn’t work in the room.

Property is lovely and well maintained landscaping. The first two days were great and then we had three days of constant power outages. They have generator but that also appeared unstable. When power came back on the ac did not and had to be turned on manually. It is very hot and humid so this created much discomfort in the room.

Great place, very clean, friendly staff. Nice food

Lovely hotel, perfect staff, great pool area, nice beach... there is nothing you will miss, can be recommended for sure. See u next time Dream of Zanzibar.

We stayed here after an incredible safari in Masai Mara, Kenya. We were hoping for a week of relaxation in luxury and it certainly gave us just that!! Great setting, amazing staff who can’t do enough for you, very nice range of food with a gorgeous seafood restaurant (additional charge but worth it). We would recommend this hotel to anyone!!! Beautiful place.

Beautiful and very family friendly. We had a wonderful time and will certainly return.
