It's nice that it has a pool but you really don't need it.. the wifi password is the best :)

Offering an outdoor pool and a private beach area, Jaribu Beach Hotel is set in Paje in the Zanzibar Region, 24 mi from Zanzibar City. Jaribu is a great little place right on the beach! The staff and management were very friendly and attentive, and the food was tasty and quick. The infinity pool is perfect for swimming during Paje's afternoon low tide. The rooms are bright and clean with modern bathrooms -- perfect for 2 people. Would definitely recommend!

Located in Jambiani, The Loop Beach Resort features an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Among the various facilities of this property are a shared lounge and a bar. I loved everything in this place, specially the design of spaces: it’s smart, simple and beautiful, you feel close to the sea at all times. The pool is the highlight, great design, it overlooks the sea and it’s just next to your room, yet you still feel privacy. The manager and staff were always friendly, uncomplicated too. I walked around the beach and honestly no other place (even more “luxurious”) compares to The Loop.

Featuring a private beach area, a year-round outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi, Mahali Zanzibar is set in Paje, Zanzibar. The hotel features a sun terrace and views of the sea. I loved Mahali! It was the first time in Africa for me and my boyfriend and Mahali hotel made us feel at home. Rooms are big and everything is nice, new and super clean which was the most important for us. There is a big, clean pool outside which is great since the tide is very low most of the day. Staff is always smiling and very nice to everyone and Leanne and her husband are amazing people! I was sick one day and they called a taxi right away to drive me to the doctor without any charge. The last day, since we had our plane at 21h they let us use the hotel all day, the towels, beach and pool and they even wanted to open a room for us to take a shower. I loved everything about the hotel and I wish all my experiences with hotels were like this one.

Offering a year-round outdoor pool ,a spa center and a diving center in the neighboring hotel, Zanzibar Queen Hotel is set in Matemwe in the Zanzibar Region. Very friendly staff and great wifi connection! The best thing was definitely the food though - probably the best food I've eaten during my entire 3 week trip in Kenya and Tanzania!! There was a small issue with the AC in my room, but it was fixed quickly and the very nice manager waived my mini-bar charges... Wish I had had another drink now ;)

Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, Zanzibar Bandas Boutique Hotel is located in Matemwe, 3.7 mi from Dove Spot. This hotel offers room service, luggage storage space and free WiFi. Everything. The staff was very helpful and had everything that we requested arranged for us. We had a great pole pole time in bandas. The food was amazing and if you have the luck to enjoy the live music, do it. It is a must. We tryed the yoga that although it was very traditional, it was a nice add on. We were also a bit lucky because the high tide was in the morning and I could have a morning swim. Otherwise there is the resort pool. Hope that you'll have the same as we did... A great and relaxed stay. Enjoy

Located in Jambiani, Sharazād Boutique Hotel offers a garden and plunge pool. Zanzibar City is 25 mi away. Some units have a terrace and/or patio. Each unit is fitted with a private bathroom. The food, the accommodation, the resort with all the lounge areas, the staff, the location

All around perfect.

Located in Matemwe, Zawadi Beach Villas offers beachfront accommodations 4.5 miles from Dive Spot and provides facilities like a garden, a terrace and a shared lounge. It was my 1st time visiting Zanzibar, Tanzania & I got to say it won't be the last time ♡ This resort is one of the best ones I've been to during my 6 days trip, located on Matemwe beach .. with a very friendly & helpful staff, nice views from our Villa's balcony. I could see the beach, the swimming pool, & the village behind us. Being on the east coast, sunrise was amazing & star gazing was even more wonderful. I remember it rained as well. Unfortunately we already had a booking with a different hotel nearby so we had to leave, but we went back to Zawadi for breakfast. They invited us to their pool without a fee & we my brother exchanged phone numbers with them.

Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Pongwe Beach Hotel is located in Pongwe. WiFi access is available. Each room here will provide you with a patio and a seating area. The beach is amazing-clean, possibility to swim in the sea even in low tide. Loved the idea of putting your flag in the sand if you wanted to order something. The food was superb. Staff was friendly. The bar area is nice and the pool is beautiful. Loved that the staff was not overbearing and we could enjoy the peace and calm pace of life. The bookshelf was a great idea.

Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Zanzibar Retreat Hotel is located in Matemwe, a 10 seconds walk from the beach. Free WiFi access is available. We had an excellent start of our trip to Zanzibar at Zanzibar Retreat. This is a very cosy, friendly hotel, with staff doing their best to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. It feels like you are at home, everyone (both personnel and guests) is very sociable and friendly. We enjoyed having Christmas here — lots of amazing food (salads, pasta, grilled seafood, fish, meat, dessert were fabulously cooked), hosts were giving a very nice speech, and an atmosphere was very homey. During other days and nights food was amazing as well - every dish was a piece of art. The tide was low at afternoon so you can enjoy the pool during daytime. The beach is very clean, calm and deserted, we enjoyed it at mornings and evenings, as it was very hot in the daytime. Our room was nice, there may be some electricity outages but that’s totally normal in Zanzibar.

Seles Bungalows are located in Matemwe. The open-air restaurant has views of the ocean and serves local Swahili cuisine and fresh sea food. Free WiFi access is available. This place is a jewel! I came here alone after my Safari and absolutely loved the peace and quiet. The beach is incredible and the sand is so fine its like dust, but the tide is a bit strange so be prepared for that. You can wade out for miles at low tide and at high tide the beach almost* disappears. The pool is great, my room was fabulous, beautiful Zanzibari bed. The staff are great and helpful and One Ocean Dive Center is just a 3min walk up the beach. You can walk to great restaurants on either side or just hang out here with delicious freshly caught fish and perfect tropical drinks they make. On the beach the local "Beach Boys" can be a bit annoying (they are everywhere on Zanzibar) but just ignore them and they will leave you alone. The owner is so sweet and always made sure I was happy. Wifi is good in the restaurant/bar but not in the rooms. You can sit and watch the traditional dhow boats sail on the ocean from the deck above the bar. I would highly recommend Seles as a place to relax and get "away from it all".
