I loved the beach and the surroundings lots of trees so atleast that brought a lot of fresh air and wasn’t very humid. Loved the good food only wish they had more traditional Swahili food like ugali otherwise it was good.

The hotel is great, right on the beach! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant is delicious and the price is good. We went on our honeymoon and they prepared our bed as a surprise with lots of rose petals and a card signed by the staff, we loved it! I recommend Zula 100% because we had a wonderful experience!

Everything was great. The Duty Manager, Amir Aicha, & his his staff were exceptional. Amir was friendly & very accommodating. I would give him a 12 out of 10 - yes 12. The breakfast was good but a notch or 2 below Tembo Hotel in Stone Town. There could be improvements in more choices on menu & refills. Would recommend this place anytime.

I’ve had the pleasure of staying at this hotel twice in one year, and each visit has been nothing short of exceptional. From the warm hospitality to the stunning surroundings, every detail is thoughtfully taken care of. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, the accommodations are comfortable and well maintained, and the atmosphere is simply perfect for a relaxing getaway. I’m already looking forward to my next stay—it truly feels like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

By far our favorite hotel. We booked the garden view pool villa for 1 day and visited during our honeymoon. They organized a surprise for us with candles and flowers which made us so happy. All stuff were genuine and helpful. Breakfast and dinner was unreal and during dinner we had live music playing cocktails were very good as well. The main pool was very unique and the pool in our room was bigger than what I imagined. The rooms were very luxurious and beautiful. Also, when my husband had a sunburn, they brought us the hotel's doctor to check on him which we appreciated a lot. We had a great stay and thank you very much for this!

The villa is quiet luxury, designed specifically at your comfort and privacy in mind. The bathroom with a touch of bamboo in a high ceiling structures that the sea air instantly grounds your spirit. Aside from that, the owners highlighted the welcoming home with impeccable service to paint a vivid picture of the ultimate guests experience. I'll surely come back to this place again... ❤️

I can't say enough about how wonderful the Tulia property and staff are. I can say that I went back half-way around the world to stay there again, even though there are a lot of closer beaches and islands. And I dragged my friend along with me this time. When we got there, she said she finally understood why I loved it so much.

Vibrant and alive! A great place to explore. A guided tour including the markets are a must as is the slave history. As a solo woman traveller you do need to be on your guard against the traders (street food, tours, drivers etc) who can be very persistent and for whom a woman travelling alone can be a sitting duck. They are only trying to make a living but one has to be firm :-)

For us, 2–3 days in Paje was more than enough, unless you are staying longer specifically to wait for good kite-surfing conditions. There are several caves within walking distance, but the entrance fee is around $20, and personally, I didn’t feel it was worth the price. You can also book sea tours through the hotel reception. However, be extra careful and double- or even triple-check exactly what is included in the tour and whether it matches your expectations. Make sure you understand the itinerary, activities, and conditions before booking. And if you are not a confident swimmer, please think carefully before joining any of the sea tours. Some activities may require you to be comfortable in the water, so make sure you understand what you are signing up for before you go.

Too tidal and full of sea urchins and boats to be nice to swim in the sea. Can't get out to the reef from the beach it's too far. Clean, white sand beach, empty in mid September. Kite surfing looked good from here. Horribly intrusive hawkers and touts make sitting on the empty beach miserable.

If you are just in it for the party, your stay will be just fine. But if you care about politeness and the level of service, I would recommend avoiding this hotel for the following reasons. The hotel staff are arrogant and rude. The restaurant is infested with wasps (no indoor dining options). The beach activities that are sold directly by the hotel are overpriced and some such as kayaking are advertised misleadingly. The beach boys are somehow even ruder than the hotel staff. My dark-skined girlfriend was told to cover herself in the restaurant by a receptonist who then allowed a light-skined woman in a bikini to enter just minutes later. When altering the front-desk to problems with the WiFi, the receptionist replied "yes the WiFi is down, please don't call again", before hanging up. Guest relations were notified of all these issues and offered absolutely nothing in the way of compensation. Avoid!

Kizimkazi Beach is a wonderful place if you’re looking for peace and authenticity. It’s much quieter than Paje and has a very natural, untouched atmosphere, with lots of local fishing boats along the shore. There are also some great and affordable restaurants right on the beach. The locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even more special. A perfect spot to slow down and enjoy the authentic side of Zanzibar.
