- María Isabel (10/5): Un lujo de ubicación y de atención - La villa con piscina en la playa es maravillosa, ya la conocíamos del año pasado, pero además el personal es extraordinariamente atento, en especial Francesca que estaba pendiente de todo y Carihia, ambas han sido de gran ayuda

- Elena (10/5): Vacaciones en el paraíso - El personal encantador y muy pendiente de nosotros. Tuvieron varios detalles con nosotros. La comida muy buena y la ubicación estupenda Elegí vistas al océano y la habitación era más cara por eso pero el océano se veía muy poco
- Eoin (10/5): We had an amazing time at the Gold. Staff made us feel very welcome, food was delicious and couldn’t recommend highly en - The room was amazing, easy access to all facilities including the beach Nothing
- Andrea (9/5): -
- Raimondo (10/5): -
- Francesca (9/5): Coccolati per tutto il soggiorno - Tutto meraviglioso: dall’accoglienza cordiale al saluto con le ragazze che lavoravano come cameriere. Vi hanno fatto l’upgrade, credo come regalo per il mio compleanno, mi hanno fatto trovare un sacco di pensierini e sono stati tutti dolcissimi con noi. Essendo celiaca avevo richiesto pasti senza glutine e tutti gli chef si sono dedicati a me e alla spiegazione delle pietanze, a volte rifacendomele appositamente SG. Lo chef Paul è stato gentilissimo nel lasciarmi portare per il viaggio uno dei suoi dolcetti. Tutto il personale è stato professionale ed amichevole. Grazie ad Issa che ha riempito il nostro soggiorno di chiacchiere e sorrisi ❤️ Assolutamente nulla! Togliete solo il mobiletto dal bagno della suite, noi italiani usiamo il bidet ahahahah
- Isabelle (10/5): C’était magique. personnel au petits soins - Emplacement, service, gentillesse, nourriture Un peu cher
- Cedric (8/5): -
- Beatriz (10/5): Couldnt think of a better place. 100% recommend - We had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa for 5 unforgettable nights celebrating our honeymoon, and every moment was beyond exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service, hospitality, and atmosphere exceeded all expectations. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive – always ready with a smile and eager to help with anything we needed. It truly felt like they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Special thank you to Sachith (manager) his professionalism and attention was out of this world! Thank you so much! Athuman for making sure we had one of the best nights in our live having dinner at the beach with an amazing setting to celebrate our marriage! Salim for being there always for us… you were amazing!! Ally the gardener for his special attetion. Francesca, Fadhila, Issa, Nancy, Richard, Wasa, Machimu… thank you so much for your attention and for everything you do! Our room was beautifully appointed, spacious, and impeccably clean, with stunning views and thoughtful touches throughout. Housekeeping was discreet and efficient, making sure everything was spotless without ever intruding. The beach is out of this world – soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and plenty of loungers and shade. The pool area was equally amazing – peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfect for relaxing. Food-wise, we were blown away. From the generous and varied breakfast buffet to the exquisite à la carte dinners, every meal was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The themed dinners and live entertainment added a wonderful touch to our evenings. The spa is also not to be missed – a tranquil oasis with professional therapists who made us feel completely relaxed and pampered. We had a couple deep muscle massage which were amazing! All in all, this was an unforgettable experience. Nothing
- Damien (8/5): - Staff were incredible. Didn’t seem like great value for money when compared against other hotels in the island.
- Max (10/5): Gastfreundschaft, die von Herzen lommt, geht Han in Hand mit Fünfsterne-Qualität in allen Bereichen. - Die Lage (mit Bilderbuch-Sonnenuntergang), das Essen die Ausflugsoptionen, das nahe Dorfleben und v.a. die Betreuung. Das Personal ist effizient und ausserordentlich freundlich um das Wohl der Gäste besorgt. Man wird aufgenommen, als wäre man Familie! Auch das Hotelmanagement engagiert sich als aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Die Lage des Resorts an einem der breitesten und schönsten Strandanschnitte Sansibars mit wenig Gezeitenunterschied ist hervorragend. Auch gibt es sehr viel Leerraum zwischen den Sonnenschirmen im zudem privaten und abgeschirmten Strandbereich, so dass weder Dichtestress noch morgentlicher Reservierungsdrang aufkommen. Man sollte jedoch Zimmer nahe der Küche (Diesel-Generator) oder des benachbarten Hotels (laute Musik) meiden. Das Resort verfügt jedoch über viele ruhige Oasen, wo man überall seine Ruhe finden kann.
- Laurence (10/5): Nothing short of spectacular - Our stay at Gold Zanzibar was nothing short of spectacular. As soon as we arrived we were immediately greeted and made to feel at home. In celebration of our honeymoon we were upgraded to a beautiful villa with private pool and butler service - very comfortable and clean accommodation. The amenities including pool, spa, beach and bars were all fantastic. We were also amazed by the food, with so many options and the quality was remarkable, all very fresh, the best pasta we’ve had outside of Italy, great local cuisine too. But what stood out the most was the absolutely amazing service. Every single member of hotel staff went above and beyond to greet us at every opportunity, make us feel at home, offer us anything we could wish for and just engage in conversation; they seemed genuinely interested in getting to know us. We are fortunate to stay at nice hotels around the world and the staff and service at Gold stand out as the very best we have ever experienced and by a very long way. We enjoyed complimentary sunset cruise on our final night for which we are very grateful. The occasional complimentary food and drink with bills showing ‘zero’ against each item, also a very generous touch. I would not hesitate to recommend Gold to anyone looking for accommodation in Zanzibar - furthermore, I would even encourage people to stay at Gold simply to see how the very best of hotels can and should be. Thank you for an incredible experience. I could not think of a single thing that could have been better or different.
- PALOMA (10/5): -
- Shlomi (10/5): - Top notch hotel!
- Meryem (10/5): - Notre séjour s'est très bien passé. L'hôtel est vraiment top et le service y est irréprochable. Le buffet pour le dîner est très bon et change souvent. la plage de l'hôtel est parmi les plus belles de l'île. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir!!
- Sarah (10/5): - We had an amazing stay here for our honeymoon and they made us feel very special. The food is a highlight of the hotel and the staff are all very attentive and friendly. Thank you!
- Riccardo (10/5): - Tutto perfetto!!!
- Tara (10/5): - We stayed at Gold Zanzibar for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect! We booked a garden villa and it was so spacious, and the private plunge pool was very fun to have. All of the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Our butler, Jackeline, was so helpful and friendly! They also gifted us a bottle of champagne and fruit on our arrival which was so nice. There are shows with dinner every night which are really wonderful, and the buffet options are PHENOMENAL! We had a full body wrap and massage at the spa which was lovely, and went on a spice tour and sunset dhow cruise organized through the hotel which were fabulous! The hotel also gifted us a private romantic dinner on the beach and the sunset dhow cruise as honeymoon gifts which was very generous. The beach is beautiful, and it is so nice to have the private cabanas as where the public portion of the beach starts can be a bit hectic and crowded. Highly recommend staying here!
- Feldman (7/5): - Amazing service and food The rooms are old fashioned - need to reconstruct the bathrooms and the villa
- Jeremy (10/5): Bigger than expected - Superb!! Book it! Great staff fabulous food. Special mention to Ali - guest relations manager, Steven Samuel and Sarah
- joe (9/5): -
- ayesha (9/5): -
- GIULIANA (9/5): Favoloso - Tutto bellissimo, pulitissimo e perfetto. Giorni da favola. I posti in piscina vengono occupati con gli asciugamani tutto il giorno da persone che li lasciano lì prima di colazione e durante il pranzo o per il riposo pomeridiano in stanza non permettendo un minimo di ricambio.
- jan (10/5): -
- Natalie (10/5): - Fantastic hotel. Hospitality amazing, everyone really friendly and can’t do enough for you. Hotel very clean, lots of entertainment and lots of tasty food - great variety with themed nights. Would highly recommend!!
- abdulaziz (8/5): ممتع وموقع مميز وآكل بوفيه ممتاز ممتاز فقط الغرفه ديكورها ولونها سيئ فقط العيب الوحيد بالمنتجع - بوفيه الاكل كانوا سخيين بالأكل جدا كرماء وكميه طباخين شي مشرف ديكور غرفة النوم سيئة جدا لا ديكور حتى وان كانت الفكرة غرفية من طبيعة زنجبار لا تكون بهذة الطريقة سيئة للغايه
- Ahmad (10/5): - One of the best hotels I have ever been to. Truly a 5-starr experience from the food, the staff, and the room. I have been to many 5 star hotels and indeed this is one of the best ones.
- ED (10/5): - Beach, pool, dinning, and overall amenities were absolutely amazing. Staff were top notch as well! Hated to leave and will certainly look at staying there again!
- Van (10/5): Outstanding and will always remember - It was the most memorable holiday - this resort is exceptional; superbly clean, wonderful staff and diverse entertainment each evening, outstanding food and a unique attention to detail making sure you and your family are having the best time. A huge thanks to all staff ( Asante Sana) most particularly Ali at reception and Issa, Shabaan, Steven, Lucy and Paulina. And Dickson the resident artist ! There is nothing to fault - every possible detail has been thought of and addressed.
- Sami (10/5): A week in paradise - Very well kept property with an excellent beach and pool. The rooms were also great and the staff is amazing. Loved the buffet dinners which had a lot of fresh options and great seafood Nothing!
- Monique (9/5): Outstanding and so worth every penny ❤️ - The food was outstanding, so much fresh food daily and cooked to order. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, Paulina the waitress in the restaurant always greeted me by my name. ❤️ the bar team also so friendly and helpful. Nothing was any bother for the team. I really loved the gifts and notes in the bedroom when we came back from dinner, was such a lovely thing. Something to remember. Can’t really say what I didn’t like only improvement would be up grade the gym alittle
- Pedro (6/5): Pleasant -
- Anita (9/5): In short I can say that the strongest selling point of this hotel is its incredible Staff! - The Staff was fantastic. Always at any time very friendly and helpful. Every wish/request was fulfilled efficiently. I would like to mention Chef Warren. He has been incredible. One day I did not like a dish and the next day I was invited for a free private dinner at the beach with my partner just to make it up to me that I did not like a dish the day before. I have never experienced such an excellent customer service. Same for guest relation, the restaurant staff, the animation team (Issa), the Spa team and the reception. They really know how to make a guest feel happy. Many other touristic countries in Europe could learn from this. The smell of fresh paint in the room, the prices of the drinks are too high, guests in the swimming pool with their t-shirts on (not hygienic)
- Johanna (8/5): A piece of paradise - Amazing location on the best stretch of beach on the island. Lovely pool with lots of high quality sunbeds and many on the beach also. Gym needs an upgrade.
- Nicolas (8/5): - Nice hotel with a good location on a large sand beach which is also quiet busy and lot of people coming to see you to sell you stuff as soon as you go towards the water. The services are complete, the food was quite good. Still expensive for what it is. For half the price of a classic room with garden we managed to stay in a villa with private pool sea view and very high standards.
- Eric (10/5): - Was expecting a nice experience based on the type of beachfront room we selected. Both of our butlers were extremely helpful including Salim helping me discourage my extremely stubborn gf (who can’t swim!) from taking a kayak out on a very windy and wave filled day. She was not listening to me at all - and his assistance was above and beyond. Additionally, Anthony, the restaurant staff, facilities and especially the food was outstanding! Far exceeded our expectations. Having been in the sales and marketing business I have attended my share of buffet style meals. Every night GB treated us to something different and delicious. You won’t want/need to eat anywhere else! Last add. I don’t drink alcohol but I’m a bit addicted to zero sugar Coca-Cola. I asked for the mini bar to stock them up a bit. Every day we were there included 3-4 extras. Never needed to ask again. And try the hibiscus iced tea. Out of this world!
- Ola (8/5): Very good - The place was great, very clean & the beach is amazing The staff are exceptional, everything abt the stay was incredible Food was amaaaazing Activities was really good, yet i felt it should be more activities Everything was great!
- Akule (9/5): It was great overall - The staff was very good with us The sellers at the Beach are nagging and would surround us - very intrusive
- Elsie (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
- Majory (10/5): Exceptional -
- Benjamin (10/5): A verey relaxing few days - Amazing food at the buffet and BBQ. Free upgrade to a suite which was a nice touch by the hotel Nothing

- Nebeyu (9/5): Awesome stay! - Everything
- Tomer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mndewa (5/5): Passable -
- Ali (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay at Gold Beach Zanzibar, made extra special by the fantastic team. Baraza and Happiness were delightful during dinner—always warm and welcoming. Salma made breakfast feel like home, and Tunu at the egg station greeted us each morning with the best smile and energy. Baraka was incredibly helpful with organizing our excursions, and Christine’s crepes were a daily highlight! Ali, who greeted us at reception, was a lovely guy—friendly and welcoming from the start. A big thanks as well to Issa and Justine at the beach club for their attentive service, and to Aboubakar who kindly helped us stay dry during a sudden downpour. Lastly, Dixon at the kids club truly stood out—his talent and kindness shone through, and his paintings are absolutely worth picking up. A great guy and a real asset to the resort!
- halil (10/5): Zanzibar - Temizlik ve hijyen mükemmeldi, personel çok sıcak kanlı ve sevecendi özellikle grace amos ve İsa kod adlı bianco nero çok ilgilendiler bizimle . Denizde gel git yok denecek kader azdı ve otel eğlenceleri de erken bitmesi dışında yeterliydi.
- Serge_ff (9/5): Superb -

- Lachezar (10/5): Exceptional -
- GEORG (8/5): Tolles Hotel mit kleinen Abstrichen - Das Hotel an sich ist wirklich sehr schön und gepflegt. Der Strand ist traumhaft und man hat wirklich viel Platz. Die Sonnenliegen sind relativ weit auseinander. Das Zimmer war auch groß und alles funktionierte, 1 - 2 mal am Tag gab es einen kurzen Stromausfall, daran gewöhnt man sich. Das WLAN funktioniert nicht immer und überall, es kam zu größeren Ausfällen. Wenn man darauf geschäftlich darauf angewiesen ist, hat man ein Problem. Das Essen war sehr gut, vor allem das frische Obst und Gemüse. Es gab jeden Tag frischen Fisch und afrikanische Spezialitäten. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, vor allem Paolo, der uns sehr gut betreut hat. Manchmal wurde es uns das obligatorische Jambo von jedem Angestellten schon fast zu viel. Was uns nach 5-6 Tagen extrem gestört hat, waren die lauten „Darbietungen“ am Strand. Dazu kam noch der Lärm von den Nachbarhotels rechts und links. Das Hotel liegt relativ weit weg vom Flughafen. Man muss sich auf einen Transfer von mind. 1,5 Stunden einstellen, obwohl es „nur“ ca. 60 km sind.
- Mikael (10/5): Very nice stay in Kendwa - Gold är ett mycket fint och välskött hotell. Det är byggt 2013 men är fortfarande i mycket gott skick.¨ Trevlig vänlig personal och mycket bra fräsch mat i båda restaurangerna. Allt är fem stjärnor; enda plumpen i protokollet är att gymmet saknar tre par hantlar; 3, 4 och 5 kg. Det är de mest användbara hantlarna för de flesta motionärer, de riktigt stora atleterna oräknade Jag påtalade detta första dagen och tänkte att de skulle ordna det under vår sex dagars långa vistelse men så var inte fallet. Jag kan tycka att ett högklassigt hotell skall ta höjd för att saker försvinner och se till att ha reservutrustning Stranden är fin, om du skall ta en långpromenad så gå till höger men se till att inte gå när det är högvatten för då kan du inte komma förbi Rio Hotell eftersom vattnet då täcker ca 200-300 meter av stranden. Väl förbi så kan du gå ända upp till Nungwi Beach. Vi promenerade ca 3 km norrut innan vi vände tillbaka. Promenera är skönt före 10 och efter 17, dess emellan; olidigt varmt, då är det skuggan som gäller. Två saker som vi funderar över; varför städar inte lokalbefolkningen på stränder och längs vägar? Vad gör alla unga massajer på stränderna, kan de inte ta ett vanligt arbete eller i brist på det, städa stränderna, jag skulle alla dagar i veckan hellre betala för det än att köpa diverse souvenirer? Hur som vi är väldigt nöjda så tack för oss 😊
- Dar (10/5): - Resort itself is excellent and clean within the compound. Buffet menu changes all the time and offers plenty of varieties with many cooking stations. Staff was very friendly and considerate, and managers came around and greeted us everyday. They noted from registration that my daughter's birthday was coming up so they decorated a special table with blue beads just for us. There were plenty of activities and nightly entertainment. Our suites were very spacious and layout showcases local architecture. Overall we are very happy with our experience.
- Jeanelle (9/5): Superb -
- Irakli (9/5): Beautiful holiday - We had the pleasure of spending our Christmas holidays at Gold Zanzibar, and it was nothing short of spectacular. This hotel is a gem in a breathtaking location, set on what is arguably the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the functional management and the attentive, responsive staff. The team was both friendly and professional, always going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. Special thanks to Nicole, Salim, Khadidja, and the rest of the team for their exceptional hospitality! The food options were simply outstanding—high quality, diverse, and impeccably managed. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every meal was a delight. The entertainment was perfectly balanced—enjoyable without being overbearing. One of the highlights of our stay was being upgraded to a villa. It was spacious, luxurious, and offered an unforgettable experience. The overall quality of the hotel is truly five-star, from the accommodations to the amenities. If you’re planning a trip to Zanzibar, look no further than Gold Zanzibar. It’s a paradise in every sense of the word. We can’t wait to return! We liked everything
- Kashyap (9/5): Amazing holday and amazing hotel. - Overall cleanlines was good. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to help with any issues or questions. The hotel room was really nice and spacious. Location is great with an amazing beach. Food was excellent and Chef was brilliant. Deserts were not the best. Would have liked a larger variety of ice-creams.
- Barbaglia (9/5): Superb -
- Pooja (8/5): It was great! - The food was excellent. Rooms were great. Staff were amazing. They really went the extra mile. The desserts could definitely be improved upon. Given the rest of the food is amazing, desserts definitely let them down. Drinks menu is lacking. Selection of wines and drinks definitely not up to par. The last thing is not a complaint as such. The resort could definitely do with more foliage around the pool area just to give it some extra shade and help with the glare.
- Mashola (9/5): The place was excellent, exceeded my expectations. - Very clean and neat. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Nicole. The food, too little variety. We don’t all prefer seafood. The drinks were crazy expensive, even regular drinks. The pool closes at 7 pm, this nonsense for a resort. I hate being in the sun and I prefer swimming at night.
- Vera (10/5): Perfection - Marvelous It’s the best hotel I visited so far, words are not enough to explain the whole positive experience we had Hotel and stuff are simply perfect doing more than expected to make you feel like real queen ,from early accommodation at 05a.m.to huge clean rooms with everything inside Food is excellent and they are offering various dishes,both fish,meat,pasta,pizza,fresh salad and fruit,a huge desert options The spa experience is also perfect with real professionals working inside The pool is quite big and very clean with a lot of sun beds around The beach is white sand with azure water,very clean and nice It is a perfect place for honeymoon as well as couples with children I will definitely visit this hotel again Strongly recommended for anybody planning a trip to Zanzibar
- Martina (9/5): Beautiful beach Resort, clean, big room, very tasty food, super kindly staff! - Beautiful beach side, nice excursions, big and very clean room, very tasty food with so many options! Thsnk you very much! All very good 👍
- John (10/5): Relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings - Location and layout excellent. On probably the largest and best beach on the island, plenty of beach umbrellas and sun beds but nicely spaced out. Gardens are delightful, well managed. Amazing sunsets, sea views stunning. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food choices are exceptional. Dhow sunset cruise great fun. Loved it all.
- Bronwyn (8/5): Absolutely loved it! I’d definitely go back! Far better than the other places we stayed. - Exceptional location and fantastic staff!
- Paul (10/5): - Great
- Michael (8/5): Great time - Hakuna Matata - Breakfast was great especially the fruits like mangos, pineapple etc. People were extremely helpful and friendly, the facilities e.g. garden, flowers well maintained Swimming pool is great and really a large one but need better mainentance and refurbished. The pool could be in better condition; some of the mosaic tiles are coming loose from the edges or the bottom and are scattered all around.
- Kathryn (9/5): Superb -
- Marianna (10/5): Very nice resort, exceptional service, highly recommend for beach stay after safari - Nice beach, exceptional service, beautiful room
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional stay - blissful, kind staff and the most stress-free we ever had - The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always looking after us and making sure we were happy throughout our stay. The food was fantastic, incredibly varied and themed every single night. The entertainment also exceeded our expectations- from fire shows, to masaai dances, dinner time was always guaranteed to be a good time. We loved every night for each unique show presented and even became friends with some of the locals! We got to walk along the coastline on the beachside, and even though there are plenty of resorts nearby we thought Gold’s beach was the best one by far! Quieter, clearer water and no jellyfish which we found in other stretches of beach affected most by tides. Throughout our stay we also got to meet Nicole, manager of guests relations who was lovely and offered us a free sunset cruise on the resort boat which was really amazing. It felt we were so welcomed and appreciated as guests! The hotel also had special rooms that allowed us to shower and change clothes after our check out allowing us to enjoy one last day of beach and facilities in the most comfortable way possible. Overall it really felt like we experienced one week of paradise. Everything was beyond perfect, we couldn’t recommend it more.
- Kieran (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning! Amazing beach and pool, the food was incredible too!
- Jobell (7/5): Good -
- Codruta (9/5): Superb -
- Paula (9/5): Relaxing stay at Gold Zanzibar - The grounds are beautifully maintained, the room is spacious with a large balcony. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The Gold restaurant is exceptional and we enjoyed many meals and drinks here! Special mention to Chef Warren and the lovely wait staff who always made us feel welcome. Try the catch of the day if you visit - delicious! Would like to mention the lovely Nicole (customer relationship manager) she is an absolute gem and ensured any issues were resolved quickly and we left feeling we had the 5 star experience we were hoping for. We were lucky enough to experience the lobster dinner on the beach front which was wonderful! The spa is exceptional! Highly recommended spending some time here during your stay. Please please check the dates of the full moon party at the neighbouring hotel, as we had assumed it would be on the full moon, it was in fact on a date without a full moon and the noise is crazy loud until 4am. Unless you are a fan of buffet book the full board package to enjoy the meals at the Gold restaurant. Be aware that there is not much outside of the resort but you do have everything you need at the resort.
- Murat (9/5): Superb -
- Lima (10/5): Exceptional service, this hotel deserves 100* this definitely would be the best Holiday and hotel we have been to. - The staff were amazing, the service is exceptional at gold. I still cannot believe how well we were treated, I have never ever been to a hotel with such amazing management and staff. 10* would be less to rate, they deserve 100* I have recommended this place to all my family and friends already, I don’t think any other hotel will meet the expectations from this hotel. We are so grateful for the most amazing 5 nights with amazing service and staff. Staff members Thomas and khadijah took really good care of us, and Ali said. The staff deserve medals for their effort and hard work. Before even asking for anything that we needed it was in front of us. I do not have words to describe how amazing every single staff member were at the resort, always happy to help with a big massive smile on their faces. Everything was great, we have no complaints but only compliments
- Talat (10/5): Amazing stay, extremely nice and helpful staff. Truly loved my stay. Would definitely visit again - Property was amazing
- Murat (8/5): Very good -
- Sivan (10/5): It was perfect! - everything! It was above and beyond! The food, the place, the atmosphere, the staff. We enjoyed our stay very much. We were a family with 2 little girls. Everyone was very friendly and they also took care of us that my husband accidentally stepped on a sea urchin. Everything was just perfect! I have no doubt we will be back Just nothing
- Sabine (10/5): An amazing location on a white sandy beach with delicious food. - The location of the hotel is great, directly on a wide sandy beach. The hotel is very spacious and it is at all time possible to find empty beds at the beach or at the pool. We had half-board and the food was amazing; very wide selection with local and international dishes. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Actually all was great. If I have to find something: the concierge giving info about trips and visits on the island could show be a bit more interest and offer/promote possible tours/trips more pro-actively.
- Eliran (10/5): Exceptional - A place live heaven! The staff and service is exceptional!! The beach and facilities are wonderful. No words can describe the moments we had there.
- Sebelina (10/5): Top five star hotel - Gold Zanzibar Beach hotel is a five star hotel. The room was very big and the food was very good. The whole inclusive formula was worth it. It has a good size swimming pool and a nice beach with lounge chairs. The prices in their spa are expensive. But luckily just next door there is a local spa where you can get massages and your hair braided for a third of their price.
- Mohamed (10/5): amazing - everything is amazing and very relaxing the beach is full of outsiders which made us avoid using the beach
- Nariman (10/5): A Dream place to stay - This place is an ideal vacation destination. Everything about our stay was extremely joyful. Service is top notch. Staff Facility Service Food Beach Activities Customer service All beyond expected
- Rob (9/5): Wonderful food and service on best beach in Zanzibar ! - Great food and terrific service at a fantastic location on best beach in Zanzibar Gym and rooms could use renovation
- Aviv (8/5): Very good - We took the all inclusive deal. The place is beautiful and the staff are great. The food is a big buffet with seafood and on-the-spot cooked steaks, really high quality stuff. Yet we suffered from stomach issues. Though I’m not sure if it started there or just continued there. Ended up eating rice for the remainder of the stay. The massage was good
- Kristin (10/5): - Food was excellent, and the theme nights were enjoyable. Pool was great and beach area was beautiful. The unit we booked was not available at check in, due to a plumbing issue--the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the less expensive unit we received. Money was refunded to me. The best part of this resort experience was the service and genuine desire each staff member had to make us feel welcome.
- Marwa (10/5): Wonderful! - The service at this hotel is the best I have experienced. Khadija and Salim took great (and warm) care of us, following up on everything related to us and our stay. Nicole took care of any concerns with sincerity. Front desk Ali and the others, all so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Others, like Tunu, Abu Bakr, Washa and so many others that unfortunately would be impossible to mention all their names, made us feel happy, special and made our experience extremely enjoyable. Special mention to the impressive daily atmosphere and food of Kilimanjaro restaurant. Lovely hotel, on a beautiful beach.
- claire (10/5): - A wonderful welcome, very friendly staff and the quality and variety of the food was amazing and beyond our expectations much credit to chef Sunil and his team
- Natalee (9/5): Superb -
- Viktor (10/5): Paradise for honeymooners! - We spent our honeymoon I this hotel and everything was outstanding. Clean rooms and facilities, very friendly staff who are adaptive and flexible to meet all your needs. Food was great, option to eat at the beach. The place offered various activities during the day/evening so you can't get bored. Tried the SPA (couple program) which was good value for money. Also booked the romantic dinner on tthe beach, which was outstanding. Staff was very helpful with organising it That we spent only 3 nights... Should have stayed for more
