Hotels in Tanzania

If only we could rate more than 10. It was much better than the other 10s we rated (when we rated 10). It was, by far, the best place we stayed in all of our 2-month honeymoon in all of Africa. As we came, the hosts welcomed us so warmly that we felt they expected only us all the years they were here. We got welcome drinks and snacks - a fine wine and very good Samosas, served on the beautiful balcony in front of the ocean. All our bags (5, heavy) were carried without saying anything, with a big smile and good vibes. In our spacious room, we noticed a nice map of Zanzibar, marked with places of interest around (which we used, almost all of them), a welcome note, and welcome gifts! Cute bracelets that we still wear. Since we came in a hot season, the room was also equipped with an extra-strong fan, which was just what we needed as I'm sensitive to the hit. The beach was ridiculously close since it was the high tide, so we spent a few hours in the water. The dinner and lunch (extra, but fair prices, excellent quality, taste, and variety) were amazing. So tasty, and the options were all great and varied. We also had a bottle of SA wine, a fair price, and we liked it. Breakfast was yummy. Just everything you need - eggs, coffee, juice, toast, pancakes/chapati with guacamole and a fruit plate. I don't know how they do it, but the staff is so friendly and helpful. Important: I have Celiac, so I need gluten-free food. In all of Africa it was usually an issue, but not here. They made sure that I always had a variety of delicious options, even really creative ones like coconut rice bread for breakfast or hamburger. In the afternoon they invited us to a boat cruise (free!), to swim & snorkel in three different spots. During the cruise, they serve wine, water, and sodas, also free. They also have snorkeling gear, which we used all day long, and canoes, which we didn't have the time to use😞 It's these details that made our stay so calm and fun.

The nice clean and quiet place. The availability of the staff. The nice breakfast

The place is absolutely amazing! The views are spectacular! The owners - Gianluigi and Nicola were absolutely amazing hosts! Very accommodating and care about the guests' needs. The Staff members Sharon, Jacqui and team were also very friendly and caring! Experiencing the sea during low / hide tide was the highlight of our stay. Being able to walk into the sea during low tide was absolutely insane to experience! If you are planning a trip to Zanzibar, please make sure you book your stay at Palmera Zanzibar Eco Boutique Hotel! Great value for money!

A relaxing oasis with minimalist design in great location. Friendly staff. Excellent massage. Tasty healthy food. Gorgeous pool. Near scuba and snorkel place. Also near horse riding.

The property is great, but the team onsite and their service made my stay feel like one of the most premium experiences. They go above and beyond expectations. Thank you for warm hospitality and such great service team - Jackelin, Tariq, Diswa, Mohammed, the Maasai’s and the rest of the team.

It was unforgettable! Everything was so unexpected perfect, that I can’t describe in words. First of all hospitality - it was amazing, the management and owners of the hotel, the hotel’s staff - all those people made our stay in Zanzibar so lovely. Second thing - clean and tidy, towels are absolutely white, the bungalow was nicely organized and clean! My wife was in love with design. The territory is awesome, beautiful garden, so relaxing place. Location is very close to the Nungwi beach(5 minutes by walk), around you can find small supermarket, pharmacy, a lot of souvenir shops. And the food, couple of times we stayed for a launch and dinner, it’s was so so delicious! We kindly recommend this place to everyone! And we just dreaming to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Pangani Cliffs! The staff and managers went above and beyond to make us feel truly welcome and cared for. The food was outstanding, every day brought a new dish prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. They also arranged a fantastic boat trip to Maziwe Island, where we had a great time. We loved exploring the reef at low tide, unwinding by the pool, and enjoying delicious cocktails with a breathtaking ocean view. I would highly recommend spending at least 2-3 days here, as there are plenty of activities to enjoy and discover. 😍

Location is really great, close to the beach. Friendly staff. Pool was always clean. Restaurant is great and convenient.

Every meal was phenomenal. The staff and especially the manager went above and beyond helping make the stay perfect including helping with day trips. We would come back just to see the manager again!!!

Can’t beat the location, food, or staff. Truly a 10/10

Stunning beach location, tranquil and quiet.
