    The location is slightly remote, however, this isn’t really a drawback as you won’t want to leave!

    Possibly the best place we’ve ever stayed! Incredibly friendly staff, amazingly clean throughout the resort, the villa was outstanding and the food was 10/10

    Our stay at Zanzi Resort was truly exceptional. The location, service, and warm hospitality exceeded our expectations. What stood out most was the food—absolutely delicious with great variety every day. We loved the perfect balance of lush greenery, serene waters, and overall tranquility, making it a peaceful escape. Travelling with two young kids, we found the stay to be very comfortable and family-friendly. The staff were always helpful and welcoming. A special thank you to Abdullah for his kindness and for showing us around the property upon our request. Highly recommend Zanzi Resort—we’d love to return!

    The dinner options were quite limited, with very little variety. The property also lacks recreational activities — for instance, there were no yoga sessions or similar offerings. Additionally, the swimming pool was often full of bugs, likely due to the filtration system being turned off in the evening.

    The privacy, the friendly and welcoming staff, and the peaceful atmosphere.

    They take care of the customers very much but they are slow & there is only a small beachfront due to the cliff

    Nothing. It was genuinely perfect.

    The short time we had was perfect. Everything was beyond our expectations. This was our 20th year anniversary treat so we spent a little extra but never imagined we would enjoy everything so much. We left this little paradise without a single complaint and their attention to every detail of the experience shows. We stayed in a ocean access villa. The view is incredible and it is in a completely secluded garden that is so far from feeling like a resort with no character.

    Our stay at this resort was truly exceptional. The setting is breathtaking—a peaceful haven surrounded by nature. Every evening, we were treated to stunning sunsets from the jetty, and we were lucky enough to spot dolphins a few times, which made the experience even more magical. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always made sure we felt cared for throughout our stay. The cuisine was exquisite, and the cocktails were both creative and delicious. Everything was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained. A particularly special moment was the unexpected visit from a family of monkeys, which added to the sense of being immersed in nature. This was, without a doubt, one of the most memorable and heartwarming vacations we’ve ever had. We will cherish these moments for a long time.

    Perfect place for honeymoon, villa was amazing and very clean. Served breakfast and dinner are a game changer comparing to buffets. Villas are private, but entrance to the garden is opened and anybody can enter anytime, haven’t happened to us fortunately. Stuff is very friendly, they sometimes bothered us too much, so we couldn’t enjoy hotels beach as much as we would like to, but private pool was perfect escape, where we could feel very relaxed

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at your beautiful resort, and we cannot express enough how truly exceptional our experience was. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. First and foremost, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. A special mention to Sabrina at Reception, whose kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness made a lasting impression on us. Her warm hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The culinary experience at Zanzi Resort was phenomenal. Every meal was a delight, with outstanding flavors and impeccable presentation. Our dinner at the beach was an absolute dream—truly a magical experience. A special acknowledgment must go to the Dessert Chef, whose creations were beyond extraordinary. Each dessert was a masterpiece, making every meal even more memorable. The villa’s design—both interior and exterior—was stunning, offering luxury, comfort, and tranquility in perfect harmony with nature. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, creating an ambiance of pure relaxation and indulgence. We are highly satisfied with our stay and wholeheartedly recommend Zanzi Resort to anyone seeking a private paradise. The resort itself is breathtaking, but it is the staff’s dedication and hospitality that truly make this place special. Thank you for making our stay so unforgettable—we cannot wait to return!

    Some potential areas of improvement: -the doors (design could really be better) considering how beautiful the rest of the villa is -install a doorbell: we couldn’t hear service staff knocking at the door especially when outdoors by the pool or the sea -more water activities perhaps? There were kayaks but no stand up paddle.

    The ocean view villas: privacy, serenity, service, food

    Nothing, everything was perfect ) Good to know that the beach is quite small and it is wiser to have aqua shoes as the entrance to the water might be a bit stony.

    A quiet tropical paradise place for a secluded vacation. Stayed here for three days and did not want to leave. Definitely a place to return!
