Mandarin Resort Zanzibar

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The resort is located right on the beach, which gave us beautiful views and easy access to the sea. We especially appreciated the peaceful and quiet atmosphere, as well as the clean surroundings and the lush green areas throughout the property. Everything felt very well maintained, and it was a perfect place to relax and unwind. We liked it a lot and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a calm beach getaway.

I really liked that the property is right on the beach, very clean, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful green areas. It was quiet and relaxing — a perfect place to unwind. The staff was excellent — very polite, friendly, and always helpful. Special thanks to Mr. Farag, the hotel manager, for his warm hospitality, and to Chef Amr for the delicious food — we truly appreciated their efforts in making our stay memorable.

Everyone who works for Mandarin Resort is especially kind and helpful. Loved being here!

10/10 — Unforgettable stay! While booking, I was simply looking for a reasonably priced beachfront hotel, but Mandarin Resort exceeded all my expectations. White sand, a crystal-clear turquoise ocean right at your doorstep, and a breathtaking view — it truly felt like paradise. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. Every request was met with a prompt and polite “Of course, as you wish,” which made me feel genuinely cared for. Although the hotel offers an all-inclusive option, I preferred ordering à la carte — every dish was fresh and absolutely delicious. The rooms were spacious and spotless, the beds comfortable enough, and the pool impeccably clean. Everything contributed to a relaxing and memorable holiday. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality, heartfelt hospitality.

The property located on the beach is stunning. The rooms are spacious, clean and wonderful. Staff has gone beyond to make my stay incredible. During my stay I received great news and Mohamed has gone an extra mile to celebrate this in a way I enjoy; with whiskey and cigar. Suleman and Raquel have always had smile and did everything needed to make sure my stay here has been beyond expectations. Head chef Amr has surprised me and some other guests with Egyptian food, Swahili chicken. Everything has been delicious. This has been by far one of my favorite places to stay.

Really pleasant stay in an exceptional resort and location, calm and restfull during the Easter holidays. Very polite staff and thoughtful manager, open to any kind of questions and suggestions. Also one of the few resorts that remain open all year which is great from an employment point of view for the local staff members. Thumbs up :-)

There are very limited options to eat outside the resort and pretty scary too. Would advise anyone coming to book the full board option, so that your meals are sorted

The staff and manager was incredibly kind and helpful, pool and sea was beautiful, room was comfortable and quiet, WiFi worked very well.

Food is not the highest quality but all does the job with some being very nice (pizza was surprisingly good albeit not one for the purists).

The beach front location. Friendly, courteous and very helpful staff.

Generally, we enjoyed our stay at the property.

It was really perfect for me. The resort is right on the Kizimkazi beach. And compare to jambiani and nungwi beach, it was much cleaner and nicer to swim in. In general, it is a very quiet and peaceful place. The crew is so welcoming and kind, including the manager who really cared about my stay. The pool is great, and there is a bar next to it, so you can enjoy having some drinks there. The breakfast was very diverse- different kind of cheese, fresh omelette and bread. At one night there was a band, and the guests and the crew were dancing together. The room was very clean and equipped with minibar and smart tv. If im going back to Zanzibar, its only to this place.

My family and I were made to feel welcome and extra care and attention was shown to my kids. I made a last minute request for an early check-in and the were able to accommodate my request. The GM and the staff were all extremely friendly and always eager to help. I would highly recommend this place, and we will certainly be returning next time we visit Zanzibar.
