Zanzibar is a simply MIND-BLOWING place. When I was making my research about hotels on the island, Zanzibar Bay Resort definitely caught my attention for all its offered benefits and facilities, such as the All Inclusive package, daily entertainment shows, different bars and pools to enjoy.
I came alone and staying in a nice place where all my necessities are being taken care of is my number one priority. The hotel is full of families, honeymooners; however, as a solo traveler is a lovely option to enjoy solitude, relax time, and have the chance to make new friends.
The staff was absolutely friendly, professional, and helpful. I want to mention Happy Hostess, Johannes the Masai, and Chef Lotfy.
The hospitality was BEYOND my expectations, they made me feel like in home.

The resort is amazing. Was staying at Zanzibar Bay, and it is paradise. Very friendly staff, very helpful. They have good entertainment and will always make recommendations for the best clubs on the island. Rooms are clean. Good value for money. If you need tours they is an office to help you organise those. Everyone is always in great spirits. I just loved everything about this place. Great pools, EVERYTHING!!!

It was an amazing stay, and I would highly recommend it!
The staff was always friendly and willing to assist in every way.
The rooms were very comfortable and always clean.
The all-inclusive package was a great value. It would have been great to have at least one other beer available as an option as part of the package, but otherwise, the bars were well stocked.
The food was absolutely incredible, with a diverse range of cuisines that were full of flavor!
A real home away from home.

We had an excellent stay. The restaurants offer a wide variety of buffet-style food. We liked most the Indian restaurant with the excellent service by Esau. We enjoyed the all-in formula with free cocktails and other drinks. In general, personnel are very friendly and competent.

The hotel and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The rooms are spotless and are cleaned twice a day, on an evening they come in and sort the mosquito net out and spray it with bug spray (although they didn't do this on our last night). The food at the main restaurant is great, there's a large selection of hot and cold food with a variety of cuisines - spring rolls for breakfast is not something I've ever had before! We also tried both the Indian and Asian restaurants, which were both delicious
