Lovely property, just down the coast from Stone Town (you can see the capital from the terrace). Opted for a sea view lodge and ended up in a beautiful, self contained cottage on a private beach. Staff are attentive and very helpful. Room was clean and spacious. All in all I would have no issue with recommending a stay here.

Small property as to number of rooms. Staff very helpful and personable. Food was good, sometimes slow other times within minutes of ordering. Lovely party for guest one evening with music and celebration of food and maybe for full moon. Not easy to ambulatory the step and walkway. They were uneven and nights the walkway not lite very well. On the ocean and a fishing area, some times isand petroleum and the burning smells...overall Avery pleasant stay would recommend and would love to visit again.

The staff at Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge are the best thing about property. They are extremely friendly and really strive hard to provide excellent customer service. The surroundings are stunning and provides an amazing backdrop during sunset. We did suffer a few issues. On our first evening, there was no water in any of the villas for several hours. A day later, water from the toilet in our villa was leaking and flooded the cubicle. Kasim tried to resolve the problem the same evening but informed us that it would need to be fixed by a plumber the following morning. Kasim offered us a move into a different villa, which we declined since we were not keen to pack up so late in the evening. Hence he left us the keys of the adjoining villa so that we could use the bathroom there since the water supply had to be turned off in our villa to stop the leak. The lodge was offering 15 minute complimentary massages to all guests but due to the problems we suffered during our stay, Kasim arranged for the two of us to enjoy complimentary one hour massages each. We both opted for the deep tissue massages and this was amazing and very relaxing as it helped to soothe our aching muscles. We really enjoyed the food at Chuini, with the chef using an array of fresh produce to create a variety delicious dishes. We particularly enjoyed the tuna tartare with the mango and avocado salad as well as the wraps and fried rice. Esther was always a smiling presence in the dining area.

The surrounding areas at night had loud noises it the room was stunning. It could have just been the situation of our room as it was close to the gate. The room unfortunately also didn’t have a telephone so when my husband got food poisoning and i wasn’t feeling my best I had to go to reception to ask for some help. The staff were super accommodating and always friendly.

I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!! The property is gorgeous. The plants were beautiful and well cared for. The option of 2 pools was appealing. I loved the welcoming drink. Staff lugged by baggage to my room. I was afraid I wouldn't have enough money for dinner, but boy, was I glad I went. The entertainment was amazing. Food was great and the service impeccable. I wanted to take all of your staff home with me, they were so welcoming, friendly, helpful. You arranged for the transport from the airport to the hotel. It worked out great. I treated myself to a massage and it was wonderful. I can't say anything bad about the property. The only thing I was somewhat wanting was a gift shop. I would love to have purchased a tee shirt or a cap with Chuini or Bububu Zanzibar on it. There were plenty of things like that in Stonetown, but not with Chuini or Bububu on it. The next time I come (I must come back), I hope to stay there and do outings from the property. I wish you much success and I can't wait to return!

This hotel far exceeded my expectations. To be honest I was a bit dubious as the driver was turned and drove through the alleyways pulling up in front of the hotel . U should never judged a book by its cover because Once the gates were opened -stunning it's only words I can use. However the staff themselves were the highlight of my trip. Honestly they were all lovely And I hope they all get a pay rise😇😉. Also I need to shout out at the chef -I had some of the best meals at this hotel- even when we went out to eat it did not compare to the hotel food. I'm beyond ecstatic that I chose this hotel. All in all 1000/1000

Amazing stay at a beautiful resort. The vistas of the nearby palace ruins are stunning and the pool areas open and comfortable. The food in the restaurant is delicious and I highly recommend the dinner set menus. If you visit on a Friday evening, the Tanzanian meal is incredible. Staff is friendly and attentive. The only drawback is the boat maintenance going on in the bay below and adjacent to the resort, which draws local labourers. The bay is loud and full of rubbish so keep your eyes to the sea, which has a killer sunset! I would definitely return.

Everything was spectacular, the workers are so friendly and kind. Probably the best guest service I’ve ever experienced, they were very helpful and understanding. The rooms were nice not that big and not that small, I also liked that they do housekeeping service twice a day. The food was delicious and the portions were good for one person, I don’t know why most reviews say that portions were small! They weren’t small at all. But to be fair prices of drinks and food were not cheap, they were average. Thank you for everything i had an amazing stay and definitely an unforgettable memory.
