Beautiful place great location safe and oneof the restaurants was good but not the buffet great service, great rooms, nice people great staff Food needs to be improvedd other than the one restaurant called Cliff

the food wasn't great except for one restaurant we had to keep going back too and paying extra for dinner

Well kept gardens. Great food. Wonderful Bar and Restaurant Staff.

Many mosquitoes. No AC in any of the dining area and bars. Gym totally unusable due to high ambient temperature and humidity with no AC. Poor internet everywhere. Low speed. Poor seawater clarity.

Magnificent location Staff very professional, attentive and kind Many activities also during dinner etc

Property would require sone renovations, overall it looks tired (doors, cabinets, floor of the balcony etc) We felt we overpaid to stay 3 nights we paid via booking.com over 4,000 EUR (2 rooms)

The environment, the food, the attention to detail of all the staff to ensure all was going well. Totally pleased with the surprising dinner set up on our last day as they were completely booked for a party during our 4 day stay.

Curtain in the bedroom were off the hooks so not able to close it completely. Front desk staff on the day of arrival insisting on upgrading is and wanted us to see the upgraded room. Guests are too tired to deal with this on their day of arrival. Suggest show pictures if you want but no haggling us in the first day.

The location is excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good - the entire experience was relaxing , welcoming and comfortable

A few minor glitches which were responded to only after I had to make a fuss about it

The best part of this resort is the scenery, it is amazing and our ocean suite was really amazing. The staff were so friendly and really tried to make you feel special I cannot speak highly enough of the staff.

The food in all the restaurants on the hotel grounds is very below average. Not terrible just very below average and for the price you're paying you expect more. Lots of birds pooping in the pools, sometimes you'll have to swim past it. Also totally out of the control of the hotel but you should know you'll be hassled constantly on the public beach.

The room was clean, exquisitely decorated, the view of tourqoise ocean from the balcony simply breath taking. The activities especially aqua gym excellent.. The pools & pool bar awesome. Great food, very friendly polite staff. Felt like paradise. The spa experience heavenly. I would visit again

Loved everything

it has multiple pools so one never feels crowded, it’s right on the beach, all inclusive so you never need to carry much on you

the beach itself is not private to the hotel so there are many sellers and they are very pushy. another is that my husband got a stomach bug on the last day, not sure from what, but I asked the hotel if they had any basic medicine on hand and they did not. I was just surprised, with a 5 star hotel I would think they usually have a few things on site to get you through until you can get medical help

We were warmly welcomed by Geoffrey, who takes care of booking.com guests, and he made our whole stay very pleasant. We received a room upgrade, and we had a beautiful view from the top-floor room. The room was spacious enough, even though we had an extra bed for our child. The additional point I would like to highlight is the kitchen, all the food and drinks were super delicious and you could be very spoiled here. The beach place has been a top here. We will be very happy to come back.

We had an incredible stay at the Royal Hotel Zanzibar! We booked a Sea View room, and the view was absolutely stunning—waking up to the sight of the turquoise ocean every morning was a highlight of our trip. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with all the comforts we needed. Geoffrey, who assisted us during our stay, was exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. His hospitality truly made our stay even more special. The hotel itself is in a great location, with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. The staff were all welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Royal Hotel Zanzibar to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay in Zanzibar.
