"Vi havde generelt et godt ophold. Servicen var god, og de ansatte var imødekommende og kommunikerende. Værelset var fint, og AC virkede upåklageligt. Eneste minus var badeværelset, som var uden afskærmet brusekabine og bestemt ikke lever op til standarden for et godt hotel. Hotellet har god beliggenhed helt ned til havet, og stranden er dejlig og umiddelbart mindre turistet end andre steder på Zanzibar. "

"The room was cleaned daily, and the evening turndown service was a lovely touch. The staff were exceptional — every single member of the team went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly exceeded expectations. The spa was the best ever."

"Beautifully laid out, beach right out every front door, very clean, staff was helpful and friendly, great food and a quiet but still family atmosphere. You can tell the owners give a lot of attention to the details. Pool was so clean and beautiful. Also the landscaping was stunning and gave it an upscale resort feel while still having an intimate feel. They set up an excursion and airport ride and made the whole process easy. Would HIGHLY recommend this place and would stay here again!"

"The breakfast was definitely an interesting and so the second day we went out for breakfast. Staff in the hotel was great! However the Halls echo big time so when a cleaning person or other staff members in the whole talking to the staff member it's so loud it literally will wake you up in the middle of your room. Moving chairs or anything like that is just super loud.... The location is super and the hotel is great it just generally could tweak a few things to make it a little bit more comfortable."
Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive

"Our family of 4 just stayed in the Grand Ocean suite for 9 nights and we were blown away with how nice and helpful the staff were. First this resort is so CLEAN. The room was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. Great showers and baths with very hot water and great water pressure. The mini bar was always stocked with beer sodas and waters… The resort felt very safe… there was always security at the front gate and down by the beach. There is only 1 restaurant but they offer so many options every day… for the first 7 nights we had the buffet which had at least 30 different things to choose from… I am a picky eater and allergic to many spices but I was able to find something to eat and the chef made me plain pasta when requested… my family loves spices so they enjoyed it all… there was always pasta, beef, chicken, and fish dishes to choose from. The last few nights they set up candlelight dinners around the property so we ate in the garden and by the pool those nights and ordered from a menu of options. The property is beautiful… the website pictures really don’t convey how nice it is, especially the beach area. The tides do go out pretty far everyday so there are times when you can’t swim in ocean but the stretch of beach to walk down is magnificent and there are so many beautiful shells to find. There are hundreds of sea urchins in waters in Zanzibar so bring water shoes. The staff is so attentive and proactively reaching out to help with anything"
