Super lokatie alsnog verknald door het management
Het is erg vervelend om zo'n enthousiaste beleving flink beschadigd te zien worden door het management, dat ter plekke bij aankomst toezegt om een door hen 7 maanden eerder per abuis geïncasseerde betaling van bijna 3000 dollar, alsnog achterwege te laten. We hebben dus 2x betaald. Ze lieten bij vertrek het autorisatie-bonnetje zien van hun bank betreffende deze terugbetaling, maar dat is niet binnengekomen en men reageert op niets. Financiële problemen? In ieder geval een domper die ook nu nog veel energie vergt.

A truly magical holiday with great attentive staff, Nitin and his team really looked after us. The resort is set in a very natural surrounding and there is lots of opportunity to catch the wildlife in action (including cheeky monkeys!). Pool was great for long swims, fitness centre was very well equipped. The food was immaculate! Both the lunch and dinner menu amazed us every time we dined. Evening entertainment was very entertaining! I recommend you go for all inclusive, full board or at a minimal half board.

Amazing! Travel also to Tanzania to visit safari.
I stayed 9 nights (Feb 24) in Residence Zanzibar together with my 3 daughters (13, 17, 20y.) to have "onetime" holiday that included also safari in Tanzania. Hotel is situated approx. 90min far from an airport, surrounded by a tropical garden. Hotel offers only villas with private pools. We stayed at Frangipani villa, which easily accomodates 4 almost adult persons. Villa is very large (3 rooms, 2 bathrooms) pleasant, private pool very spacious. One may say, that a furniture is a little bit outdated, but we are in Africa and even though I am quite demanding - it was not a problem. In the middle of the resort, there is "master pool", there are also equipped gym, tennis court and other sport facilities. Food is absolutely excellent. During dinners they served local foods, seafood, grill, pasta - the offer is very varied and very tasty. Hide and low tide can be uncomfortable for someone, because it is almost impossible to swim directly at the beach, but it can be easily solved by various activities like snorkelling with dolphins, starfish, sandbank etc. They will take to by boat 10min from the hotel to the ocean and you can swim as much as you can. Definitely visit Stone town! Unbelievable city including arabic, afric, european elements. Prison island is not so interesting. And finally - if you have a time and energy, go to Tanzania to visit national parks. Even only for 2 days as we did it. The country is safe, people very nice and heplful and you may have unforgettable holiday

Some positives: Was clean and the rooms were amazing. The rooms are very big, and you have your own private pool (well our room had this not sure if all rooms do) and we even got to see monkey's whilst we were there which was awesome. Food at the buffet was okay - wasn't amazing, but wasn't horrible either. It was decent. Staff were really lovely too, however they are not as friendly as staff at a different hotel we stayed at in Zanzibar. Some negatives: I booked a couples massage at the spa. The spa was very visually pretty and staff were friendly and were able to accommodate to quite last minute bookings. However the massage services was poor. There was no relaxing music playing, the therapists were whispering between themselves during the massage. At one point the massage just paused although the therapist was there sitting next to me. I'm not sure if she fell asleep or what had happened. It was worth twenty dollars but I paid one hundred and fourty dollars per person, and so I was quite disappointed with the massage. The actual massage itself was poor, no techniques were used and I think staff here need training. Also, my sister found a snake in her shower. There are two showers, one inside and one that is outside but still apart of your room. The snake she saw was in the outside one. She raised this with the reception and it took 1 hour for anyone to come, at that point she had no idea where it went. Staff said snakes are rare and so we were even more worried.

The staff were amazing. It felt like a family environment. I was quite emotional after I left. The managers and staff did everything possible to make my stay perfect. Benjamin, kitchen staff and housekeeping and all cleaners helped me out a-lot during my stay. This was a dreamy luxurious stay. I was even given complimentary treats on my arrival. I booked the Ocean view prestige Villa and it was a great decision. You have bikes at the villa which you can use to explore around the resort and gardens. The spa is extremely amazing. I loved my therapist Anna she was brilliant. Highly reccomend.

The room was large and beautiful sea view and outdoor private pool. Please note not fully private pool. The bathroom was nice but lots of bugs. When I mentioned it to the hotel they came to spray with bug spray (including indoor with kids). Highly venomous snake in outdoor shower - could very easily come in as there was a glass sliding door between indoor and outdoor shower which has a large gap. Took security 1 hour to come to remove snake, it disappeared by the time they arrived. Stayed elsewhere in zanzibar and did not have as many bugs inside. Food not great. Very basic. Was ok but I wouldn’t stay here again. Lovely experience with monkeys though and enjoyed the pool. The beach isn’t proper sand so uncomfortable to walk on and water not clear because of this. Staff were nice.

Really nice hotel, stayed in a one bedroom villa and it was beautiful and clean, food choices were good also but could have more options. Pavilion restaurant was really nice. The place is really big and because they are all villas it sometimes feel like there’s not many people around, when in fact they are sold out. Would stay here again only downside is the location, the road conditions are not the best on some areas, and nothing around the resort so you are forced to only eat and stay on the villa. However it’s not too far from some of the activities.

The food is below average, also the free water activities that the hotel provides were unavailable when we stayed there for 4 days. Similarly, the steam room was out of order. We had a half board stay and they would charge for water during dinner (but not for breakfast). Most of the vegetables were from the can although fresh vegetables are available in the market. For a five star hotel I would expect more.

Not a 5-star property, website very exaggerated. Buffet dinner was not good, sushi left warm for several hours. Ocean not very nice in front of the hotel and large tides. Strange men constantly approach you on the beach soliciting goods and services. We checked out early and changed hotel. Thankfully we were refunded the remaining nights which was a nice gesture. Decent for a family vacation with kids but don’t expect luxury.

We really loved our stay at the Residence Zanzibar. The staff was excellent and so kind and always happy. Overall the resort’s grounds are really beautiful. The facilities were great. We always felt safe with friendly staff on grounds whenever needed, but also had lots of peace and quiet to enjoy our stay. Our luxury garden pool villa was huge. We loved the private pool and the massive bathroom - amazing tub and both an indoor and outdoor shower. Another big highlight for us was the spa. We tried a variety of treatments and all of them were excellent. Felt completely relaxed and at peace. The dining options were also good, with a breakfast buffet that has a huge variety of foods as well as live omelette and waffle/pancake stations. Some nights we enjoyed the buffet dinner and others we enjoyed the quieter, more intimate set menu of the pavilion dining area. Every night at dinner a different act provided entertainment and we were really impressed by the quality. Would highly recommend The Residence for any stay in Zanzibar.

Un hôtel extraordinaire !! Les villas en ocean front vous laisseront des souvenirs au dela du rêve !! La nourriture est très bonne également même si choix restreint. Le personnel est sympathique mais parle peu, certainement du fait d'un anglais limité. Mais souriants, donc aucun soucis.

This could be a great five star property, but as it is, it misses completely. The pool is great, the rooms are nice. Half the staff try very hard. The problem is it is misses on almost all fronts.. the food is often themed like a cruise ship, there are ants all over the utensils... it is the kind of place honeymooners enjoy but experienced travelers will be very, very very, disappointed.

We’ve been blessed to be able to stay at a lot of top hotels around the world but this was one of the best! An absolutely stellar hotel. From the architecture to the interior design, to the attention to detail to ensure you are as comfortable as possible (for example they even fumigate the property so that you don’t get mosquito bites!). The garden view room was beautiful, private, peaceful and gorgeous. The facilities are great - the suites come with a gorgeous bathroom designed to perfection, with a stand-alone bath tub with bath salts, a beautiful marble large shower, an outdoor “cold water” shower if you’re feeling adventurous, beautiful lighting, beautiful scents. There is a spacious living room with multiple seating. The bedroom is gorgeous, you wake up looking into the private pool terrace. The buffet was great - lots of options and I’m pleased that they also include local food in the African Buffet which was one of the nights on rotation (a lot of other top hotels abandon local food which is a shame). Great gym with well maintained equipment. Lovely spa, beautiful massages. There’s also a sauna and steam room. Golf buggies plus complementary bicycles are the modes of transport if you don’t want to walk around the resort. The team have thought of everything! Huge thanks to Masemo, Benjamin, Nuhu, Nubia and the entire team for making our stay incredible and allowing us to celebrate our wedding anniversary in style! Couldn’t recommend enough - peaceful luxury!

Péssimo!
A experiência foi péssima! Logo de início, tivemos que esperar por 1h o transfer no aeroporto, debaixo de sol quente, sendo que o hotel não passou absolutamente nenhuma informação (detalhe: um taxi custaria 50 usd, e o transfer contratado com o hotel, 108 usd). Ao chegarmos no portão do hotel, nossa reserva não constava com o porteiro, o que resultou em demora para entrar no complexo. No quarto, as tomadas nao funcionavam, assim como os telefones e a internet wifi. Instalações mal conservadas, banheira estragada, staff pouco preparado para contornar situações. Definitivamente não recomendo.

PARADISE ON EARTH ! One of my best vacation to date. The staff at the residence was very friendly and professional. It all started with Abdul who picked me up from the airport and gave me a nice guided ride to the property. He is so friendly and knowledgeable. I stayed in the unit 309. Everything was impeccable! From the fresh flowers on the bed, cleanliness, and beautiful and subtle decor. At the restaurant, Josephine always greeted me with a smile. She is so much fun and was very attentive to all my needs and allergies!! The food was immaculate! Chef Sumesh was splendid! I cannot forgot about Benjamin at the reception. My Go to guy. No issues seemed too small or too big for him! The whole staff was nice and professional but those particular ones went the extra mile to make my vacation amazing !!! The residence is intimate yet entertaining. The right balance of quietness and fun. I will most definitely be back.
