    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    The Melia Zanzibar's in a pin drop-peaceful spot, which means there’s nothing to distract you from the sweeping views, spectacular spa and pristine beach.

    This place is nestled into a 40-acre estate, which peers down on an expansive coral reef. Golf carts whisk guests to the nearby Gabi Beach Club, where paper-white sands and watersports are in good supply.

    The Indian Ocean comes into view everywhere here. There are not one, but two infinity pools – both with pinch-yourself panoramas – as well as a jetty restaurant with wraparound vistas.

    This is one of those awesome places you would keep going back to. Shout out to Rocio and Rohan for doing everything for making our family holiday truly memorable. Their recommendations on other things to do were spot on. Don’t forget to dine at Beach House during your Stone Town visit.

    This was a Birthday surprise holiday for my wife and it was indeed a good choice. We had the all inclusive package which was amazing. There are five restaurants all with amazing food and good selection of beverages. It’s best to make bookings for the jetty restaurant as it can accommodate a limited number of people and they have recently started a sea food menu which is out of the world!!!! Gabby beach restaurant and the pool bar serves drinks through the day... the lunch menu at gabby is very good. The spa is really good and if you book directly on the hotel website you can get a massage for 1 free. The resort arranges pick up and drop off from and to the airport and also any local tours and excursions. The hotel staff were very kind and always had a smile on their face. I would like thank Rohan and his team for everything they did for us during our stay. You were the Wow factor at the hotel!! All I can finally say is Thank you for your hospitality..... we will be back soon !!!!
    Highly recomended

    This hotel is top notch. Superb facilities all beautifully maintained. Breakfast on the jetty was a highlight if you upgrade to premium. Worth waking up early to enjoy the tranquil views just after sun rise. Enjoyed taking the buggy to to the beach. Food at the main restaurant buffet was really very good with great selection and high quality items not normally found on African hotel buffets. Staff were all very friendly & helpful. (Apart from a slightly frosty initial receptionist) The hotel feels smart & professionally managed , it was a pleasure to stay there. The prices are on the high end but I’m already dreaming of booking the villa with private pool for my next stay ! Be warned znz airport is an unpleasant joke but that’s the only negative thing to say about this charming island.
    Probably find somewhere else

    We had high expectations of this 5* all inclusive resort hotel. A welcome bit of luxury after an adventure in Rwanda and the Serengeti. Sadly Melia failed to deliver on practically all fronts. The best part of our stay was the Spa - a little haven of peace, very professional staff, large treatment rooms beautifully designed. Outside of the Spa the staff struggle to deliver decent service - food service muddled and slow. Food itself ok but not more than that. The worst part of the experience was on the beach. I don’t hold the hotel responsible for this but my 15 year old daughter was grabbed by a man on the beach who was exposing himself. Thank God her older Sister was there and they screamed - he ran off. However when they reported it to the Hotel Reception it wasn’t handled well - the female Receptionist literally said “don’t cry you are pretty”. Melia has the right infrastructure - great buildings, modern clean rooms and lots of space so it really doesn’t feel busy. They need a big investment in staff training to bring this place up to the standard of its peer hotels.

    What can I say? Service, food and experience was TOP NOTCH. People were so friendly, the service was exceptional. It was way more exceptional than Hawaii. We stayed at Romantic Pavilion, was worth the price. It was all Premium inclusive. Ocean, weather, culture, and everything was TOP NOTCH. We have been at Grand Hyatt Kauai, St.Regis Kaui, and Four Seasons. This was unique and way better service than all of those hotels. Thank you Melia, we will come back again and again.
