    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.

    Poorly Maintained but has potential

    Surprisingly poorly maintained showers, stains on the chairs, bath doors not closing, silicon falling off... just needs a solid maintenance crew and I would rate it much higher. Landscaping looks average for a 5 star hotel. Gym equipment is dated. The best parts are Spice Market restaurant with excellent personnel and offering and outdoor pool with gorgeous views.
    Best experience and service !

    Everything was perfect from the moment we reached until we left. The food, beach, poolside, accommodation, restaurants and hotel facilities were all 5 star. Definitely coming back for more rest and relaxation.
    Our 3. vacation in Zanzibar
    17 Jan , 2020 dietmar19672018, 190428
    At the moment we spend our 3. vacation in Zanzibar. Before we had been to different hotels and for the current stay we choose the Melia and are really excited. Starting with the welcome and recognizing that also our request I sent was fulfilled, makes us astonished. Really high level of service providing. Our room is really nice and clean, is cleaned carefully every day. No complaints on that. Regarding the staff the hotel should get a six star award. As already mentioned, we stayed in two other 5 star resorts here in Zanzibar but regarding friendliness, giving best attention and trying to fulfill all requests they are our nr. 1 !!!!!!! Hotel, beach, pool, are well maintained sunbeams are enough available and quite new. What you need to take into consideration is, that you are in Africa and not all can have the same 5 star level compared to European standard but in summary they are nearby. Breakfast is more then OK, dinner you can have in different restaurants, the only point to improve is lunch. Described was a buffet for lunch in the main restaurant, but until, there wasnˋt any. For sure you can have dinner in the bars and at the beach but not the described buffet. As already mentioned, so far, perhaps we get a different impression during our remaining stay. The summary of our stay so far......highly recommended.!!!!!!!! We will stay until 23.1. and we assume that we can rate this hotel also at the end of our vacation on such a high level. Dietmar
