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!

    A very good hotel, with extremely kind staff, and the hosts are very welcoming and give you the impression that they are your friends. We came here with toxic food infection from another hotel, and the managers were very nice and attentive to make us feel as good as possible. The hotel is extremely close to The Rock, a 5 minute walk to the beach and can be seen directly from the beach. It's worth getting there at least once to take a picture, but the food is better at the hotel restaurant and it's not expensive. We stayed here for 4 days, during which we tried almost every food they have on the menu and I can say that it is very tasty (they also have an extremely good pizza). The bungalow we stayed in was very clean, just like in the pictures. A small suggestion, to bring adapters for UK socket with you if you are traveling from Europe. The place is very quiet, with a very beautiful beach and without much seaweed. Also, in the area there are not so many Maasai people or people who will approach you with excursions. The hotel offers you different packages with excursions that can be taken directly from them without having to resort to all kinds of locals who may not offer you the same safety or trust. They can also call you a taxi to get to different places on the island, as well as transfer from/to the airport with one of the best drivers, Mustafa. It is a hotel that I recommend with confidence, a hotel that I definitely want to come back to, where you can relax and enjoy the Zanzibar vibe that it offers you, combining the modern with what it offers you the island.

    The service at this hotel is the best I have experienced. Khadija and Salim took great (and warm) care of us, following up on everything related to us and our stay. Nicole took care of any concerns with sincerity. Front desk Ali and the others, all so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Others, like Tunu, Abu Bakr, Washa and so many others that unfortunately would be impossible to mention all their names, made us feel happy, special and made our experience extremely enjoyable. Special mention to the impressive daily atmosphere and food of Kilimanjaro restaurant. Lovely hotel, on a beautiful beach.

    Tulia is truly an amazing resort—one of the best we have ever been to. From the moment we entered the property, we were warmly welcomed by everyone. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The food was absolutely delicious, and the landscape felt like a little piece of heaven. My husband and I felt like VIP guests throughout our stay, as every need was promptly taken care of. I highly recommend Tulia to anyone looking for peace, quiet, and a truly welcoming place.

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!

    Truly enjoyed the pristine beach and the laid back nature of the place. Totally enjoyed several meals at Fish Restaurant which were absolutely delicious. I tried Kingfish, Changu, Perch, White Snapper, Prawns etc. The seafood was phenomenal. We also enjoyed seeing the turtles and the artwork at several curio shops. Also enjoyed an early morning boat ride seeing the dolphins. I can't believe how fast time went by. Looking forward to visiting Zanzibar again.

    Zanzibar is beautiful and a very safe city. They have an organized transport system for tourists . I travelled to Nungwi beach and it was really a beautiful place. It was not crowded and the water was very clear and the water sports activities and so many . There are very many eateries all around . I would highly recommend Zanzibar.

    The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.
