    “The pool.”

  • Mahi Mahi Beach Hotel Review score: 10

    “Our honeymoon stay at the hotel was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to the incredible staff who made us feel truly valued from the moment we arrived. Especially Justin, Prisca, Issac, Gody, Scular, and Getrude went above and beyond with their warm and attentive service, making every moment special. The views from our room’s terrace were breathtaking, offering a stunning panorama of the turquoise ocean that took our breath away. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious à la carte breakfast. The restaurant served exceptional meals in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The beach was pristine and serene, with playful monkeys occasionally approaching our room’s door, creating fun experiences. We appreciated the daily towel changes, which showed the hotel’s attention to detail and care for guests’ comfort. The 24/7 security provided by the friendly Maasai guards made us feel safe throughout our stay. Beautiful dogs roaming the property added to the warm, family-like ambiance. Above all, the passionate family owners ensure every detail is perfect, which made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. Overall, our honeymoon here was not just a getaway but a deeply cherished chapter in our lives. The combination of stunning views, exceptional staff, delicious food, intriguing wildlife encounters, and heartfelt family ownership created a perfect harmony that made our stay unforgettable.”

    “Friendly staff, they will do all possible to make the place comfortable. The location is great for relaxation. Also, it is close to tiny road crossing where some shops are available (2km away). Bicycles are available for free. The restaurant provides good options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”

  • Mandarin Resort Zanzibar Review score: 9

    “Great remote location, very friendly staff who really worked hard to maximise the enjoyment of our holiday. Mr. Hanna, the Restaurant Manager, was very friendly and helpful and gave us a good all inclusive deal during our stay. Tasty buffet food from a good friendly chef, with amazing sea views from the restaurant. A beach with real character with the Kizimkazi locals. The animation team, Halid & Pascal were fun, friendly and encouraging to take part in activities like aqua gym, botcha (boules) and fun African dancing! We really enjoyed the relatively quiet and authentic Zanzibar experience, which had far fewer pestering Maasai beach boys than other resorts (& the few who were there seemed more relaxed & less pushy!). Great for swimming at high tide and good for beach exploring, walking and running at low tide. Useful to have a pool, also with the sea view.”

  • “The hotel is a series of 5 villas with shared living space with dinning and lounge facilities. The villas were huge, well decorated and with their own pool. The restaurant and beachfront was very hip and the food was very good.”

  • “Madinat Al Bahr is a very tastefully created hotel with lovely view of the western coast of Zanzibar from its sea facing rooms. It is very well maintained with personal interest taken by its Indian GM, Indian FO Manager, Indian F &B manager and even the Indian Chef. All of them really took good care of us.”
