The staff are very gentle

The hotel must have it's owner shuttle bus/car transfer from airport to hotel

A place to relax and enjoy the amazing ocean views

8.0

Beautiful property, with a lovely beach and wonderful places to lounge and relax around the resort. The staff were helpful and willing to make amends on demand.

The meals 😔. Only the pier was an exceptional five star dining experience. However, it is always fully booked leaving guests with the repetitive buffet options. Breakfast and all inclusive drinks options also need improvement.

Overall and generally everything was good.

Very limited indian vegetarian options specifically for vegetarians. Also the main reception area and all the lounges around the main reception area were closed due to renovations. This information should have been provided at the time of the booking.

Hotels of Earth · questions

Is Meliá Zanzibar really a five-star hotel?
Yes. Its own classification data carries five stars; that rating, not a style label, is what puts a property in this collection.

Good to know

Please note that a credit card corresponding to the name on the booking is required at check-in.

All cots are subject to availability.

When booking 9 rooms or more, different policies and additional supplements will apply.

The hotel has 3 swimming pools: an outdoor pool for all guests, a pool in the spa, 1 (+16) and a pool in The Level area (only for The Level +16 guests).

Please be informed that, starting from October 1, 2024, all foreign visitors to Zanzibar are required to purchase a mandatory travel insurance policy. This insurance is designed to protect guests during the stay and covers medical emergencies, evacuation, lost luggage, and more. The insurance must be purchased online before arrival, and it is available at a cost of USD 44 per person. Guests can obtain the required insurance through the official website: https://visitzanzibar.go.tz/. We recommend completing this purchase prior to travel to ensure a smooth entry into Zanzibar.
