This was hands down the best place to stay in Zanzibar! I was looking for somewhere quiet to relax with amazing sunset views, and this spot couldn’t have been more perfect. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the chef even taught me some Swahili! The staff were incredible: always friendly, attentive, and going out of their way to make sure everything was just right. It’s the little things that really stood out. On my last day, I had a late-night flight and was going to miss breakfast. Without me even asking, they packed one up for me to take on my trip. That kind of thoughtfulness says everything about how much they care for their guests. I’d 100% recommend this place and would come back in a heartbeat if I get the chance to visit Zanzibar again!

I had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always making me feel at home. The rooms are beautifully designed, spacious, and very comfortable, offering the perfect place to relax. The common areas are truly impressive — from the dining space to the pool — surrounded by tall, lush palm trees that create a tropical and relaxing atmosphere. Every detail made the experience unforgettable, in special the atenttion of the manager Evangelina.

I have never felt better cared for at a hotel / resort, than I did at AVO. We were greeted on arrival by the owner, and offered fresh juice on arrival while they took our bags to our room. They met our every need during our stay with alacrity and grace. The system of communication, using WhatsApp to reach out for help, was inspired. And the included breakfast was extensive, and delicious. We were delighted to be staying on the east coast of the island instead of the more touristy / populated north beaches.

    This hotel is just out of this world - excellent. There was not a single thing I did not like. The room was exceptionally nice, comfortable, decent size, with 2 times a day cleaning service. I loved the pool, accessibility to the beach (max 100m), the wide variety of food in the restaurant, the drinks, the service, the views from the room and from the restaurant/s, the hotels vibes, the garden around and lovely staff & hospitality. I was looking for a nice & safe place to stay while travelling solo, and this place just simply exceeded all my expectations. Surely will come back!

    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.

    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.

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food.

    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.
