The Oasis Blu provides a private and most luxury boutique experience. From the slightly off the beaten path location, with is own breathtaking sand bank beach, the views are spectacular from day to night. The rooms which are all separate oceanfront villas, are large, well decorated and modern. The individual pool allowed us to have complete privacy and still experience the beautiful outdoors. All the staff, including the chef, are extremely friendly, welcoming and professional. They made my husband and I feel so comfortable and truly went over and beyond to make our stay exceptional.

The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. They really went out of their way to make the whole experience as convenient and relaxing as possible. It seemed that, out of all the resorts in this area, this one was the most personal, authentic and tranquil. Thank you for the great service. Ps. Thank you so much for letting me take the book home from the common area :)

I stayed 20 days at Canary Hotel & SPA in Nungwi and it was truly exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome every single day, always with a smile and genuine kindness. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and the facilities – from the bowling alley to the pool and spa – made our stay unforgettable. The location is perfect, just a short walk from Nungwi Beach, yet peaceful and relaxing. After 20 days, I can say this hotel really felt like home. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Zanzibar!

We stayed at Z-Breeze Zanzibar in the summer of 2025. The color of the water was stunning, and I really loved the rooms. The food at the restaurant was incredibly delicious, just like the view of the sunrise and the moon in the evenings. I highly recommend trying the ParaChichi pizza — it’s served with honey and walnuts. It was my favorite lunch! Thank you to the staff for your care, warm smiles, and amazing vibes.

    We absolutely loved every minute of it! The TUI Blue staff welcomed us so well from the moment we arrived. We had a great selection of food, activities, areas to relax and things to do throughout our stay - during the daytime and evening. The food was just amazing and as someone who had dietary restrictions, I did not feel limited in the food options! The staff were very friendly and we really appreciated how well the staff responded to us when our room flooded (we were given another room later on in the day, our stuff was moved to our new room, laundry was done free of charge and to top it off, complementary massages were granted to us)!

    Truly enjoyed the pristine beach and the laid back nature of the place. Totally enjoyed several meals at Fish Restaurant which were absolutely delicious. I tried Kingfish, Changu, Perch, White Snapper, Prawns etc. The seafood was phenomenal. We also enjoyed seeing the turtles and the artwork at several curio shops. Also enjoyed an early morning boat ride seeing the dolphins. I can't believe how fast time went by. Looking forward to visiting Zanzibar again.

    Activities are great but most places are teeming with tourists. It's probably better to be taken for activities privately (price will be about the same anyways). Better to book through existing tour operators because the freelance guides always add extra onto the price. Night Food market is a must but be careful not to be ripped off, they just handed you plates of food & then charged a ridiculous amount afterwards. Cape Town Fish Market is a must for a sunset dinner. Prison Island & Nakupenda was average, they were overrun with people. The Spice Farms & Slave Chambers are a must to understand the passed history & Coral Caves have stunning natural pools to swim in deep underground. The North has Mnemba Island, great for snorkeling. The East is windy & good for Kite Surfing. The South is supposed to be good for deepsea fishing but myself & another group only caught white Snapper, no Game Fish.

    The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.
