Beautiful small Boutique Hotel with outstanding service. I felt extremly welcome and appreciated. The food was lovingly prepared and fresh. Friendly staff who went above and beyond to make my stay a memorable one. The Villa was beautiful and spacious. A clean and well kept little gem. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay!

Nothing comes to mind regarding the Hotel. The beach was a dissapointment, very shallow water and low tide was for hours. The staff did their best to keep the beach clean and free of seagrass, but if you like long beach walks and swimming is your focus it‘s not the best place. But in the end the house made up for it, nice and clean pool area which is a quiet place for relaxation.

Food,.rooms, staff are amazing. Very quiet and relaxing place.

Come here to relax as main village is around 3/4km. All staff ready to help for any excursion. Some bike available but in pour conditions. , The beach is not the one large beach you can see from this area. It is at the end of the "bay" and at high tide the beach a tiny sand beach, lower tide mainly stone reef beach.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough- a must stay! My Fiancé and I have travelled a lot, however, this hotel has been the best hotel experience of our lives. The food is so fresh and delicious; the staff are the kindest and most welcoming people; the amount of ‘little things that are added to your stay (different types of music experiences; a reef walk; a private dinner for a celebration) is amazing. It is by far, the most welcome, kindest, wonderful place we’ve stayed within. Thank you Tikitam Palms, we will 100% be back with our friends and family.

Everything was perfect- honestly.

If we could give this property a higher rating, we would! My wife and I stayed there as the last stop of our honeymoon trip across Zanzibar, and our experience in this hotel exceeded our expectations! Villa: We stayed at the Sultan Villa, which was very spacious and clean and offered an opportunity to unwind during the day whenever we needed a break from the sun. The bed was very comfortable, and the view of the ocean was dreamy! There is a good-sized patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee first thing and listen to the calming waves. We also got the chance to watch some monkeys playing directly in front of us, which was great entertainment. Food: If you are a foodie, you will love this place. From breakfast to dinner, we were spoiled for choice, including freshly baked pastries, numerous egg options made right in front of you by one of the chefs, local fruit, and freshly brewed coffee. The dinners were two-hour long feasts with different themes each night. We were lucky to experience the Swahili dinner on Tuesday night, with live music to accompany the expertly prepared meals. We also had a special welcome dinner prepared for us on the beach on the first night, which we really appreciated :) Staff: The nicest people working on the property who were always happy to help and made us feel at home! We learnt a lot about the dishes they were serving and their ingredients. You also have someone by the pool area to talk about the tides and the best times for swimming or kayaking/paddling (both sports are available at the property). Pool / beach area: Very comfortable loungers with a direct view of the ocean! The whole property is very well maintained. Spa: Definitely get to the spa before leaving, we had a very relaxing massage and my wife got a papaya facial which she loved. We would love to come back next time we are in Zanzibar! Thank you for everything :)

Nothing :)

The villa was comfortable and had a great bath to soak in. Restaurant setting was fantastic but food choice was somewhat restricted and felt similar each night. For example they had a BBQ night one evening but it’s done on a hot griddle plate, same as every other night, not a proper BBQ.

The access down the beach is very limited (100m at best before you hit rocks) and we like goi g for walks up and down the beach but here it was impossible. Plus the sand was covered (and I mean covered!!!) in seaweed when we stayed although they were trying to shift some of it. The room had a TV but it’s difficult to watch with it being small ish and stuck in the corner of the room. No proper desk to work at my laptop. Internet was pretty slow, certainly no good for say Netflix.

Absolutely gorgeous. We had the beach villa, which was so beautiful with a lovely scoop bath that looked out to a lovely view of the sea. They only have twelve rooms so very spacious and tranquil. All the staff were so friendly, and kind. Spotlessly clean and very comfy sun loungers.

There is very little to complain about at this hotel. The food was good, buffet style in the evenings. I think I would have liked an a la carte evening menu, like they have at lunch time maybe. Saying that, I have a seafood allergy and the lovely chef went through every dish to tell me what I should avoid, and even cooked me a separate soup on the evening it was seafood.

Not a breakfast person. The staff always prepared the coffee just the way I wanted it! I also enjoyed the tea hour, quite refreshing. Bed prepared and sprayed whilst one is enjoying dinner, Priceless!

Flexibility to boil own water and make coffee as and when I feel like it. Though this was compensated by prompt service on request and the tea hour.

The hotel is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is excellent. The spa is also very nice with a good range of treatments. The beach area is nice (just be mindful that during low tide you need to walk if you want to swim). The overall atmosphere is very relaxing.

The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that restaurant staff would almost “harass” you to sign the bill for extras consumed during the meal straight away. It’s a very small hotel with a handful of guests and so there’s no need to be so eager to get the guest to sign for the bill.

This vacation was something special for us! We didn’t paid that much attention before the booking in regards to the beach. As we expected a sandy beach as we knew it from previous holidays. However it turned out that this was not that big issue for us as it got overcompensated many times by the hospitality of the peoples working there. It is hard to put it in words, you simply have to experience it. Two minor things are that it would be nice if the kitchen would offer a dinner plan which lasts for 10 days or two weeks, actually the food is repeating each week. However the quality and the kindness of the chef and the entire kitchen team is simply outstanding. The 2nd minor thing is the small bridge leading the way into the ocean. It is almost impossible, especially for older people to climb out of the water at the end of the bridge. But that should not be understood as a complain, it is just a small hint of how to improve further.

Tikitam Palms is an absolute gem. The hotel is nestled away on a quiet bay with beautiful views on to the Indian Ocean. At low tide you can take a walk over the coral bay to the break, observing the rock pools which teem with life. While at high, the water is warm and perfect for swimming or canoeing. We were completely spoiled by the wonderful staff - who are without exception kind & attentive. The food is second to none and our vegetarian diets were generously catered to. And if you are looking to be pampered, be sure to check in with the talented Sumi at the spa.

Everything was perfect!
