10/10 Excellent
"We loved everything about Z1. Pool overlooking the ocean was beautiful, poolside service was also great while lounging. Private beach loungers were also really nice with security keeping beach peddlers away. Next door is a little convenience store where you can get cheaper cold beer/soda/snscks. Room was very clean and comfortable and turned over twice daily. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really solid at sexy fish, overlooking the ocean/beach. The rest of the meals are pricey compared to nearby places and I wouldn’t say the quality is much higher. Just fancier plating and garnishes. Not a ripoff by any means but for the price we got better value at local spots off the beach."

10/10 Excellent
"Glad I took a gamble and stayed at this rustic boutique hotel. Its was totally worth it and sat quite well with my budget. As a 1st timer in Zanzibar I chose to stay @ Nungwi but was flooded with options of specific hotel to stay at without breaking the bank or having regrets about choice. It was my 1st time over expericing and out dorsy reception ...they sure made that style work for them.Thd front office staff were so welcomig with a wet hand towel and a cold glass of hibiscus drink. House keeping was also top notch cleaning 2ce everyday and sorting insecticides at night to keep the pesky skits away. The AC sure work well good water pressure clean beddings ample supple of tea and coffee in the room. Didn't bother with tge tv though. The chef on duty on the BBQ night dod a phenomenal job on my choice of grilled red snapper. The location was just perfect for needs. Met and had a good chat with both the female American and male Asian Manager. Highly recommended. Was so impressed I extended my stay by a night."

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"

"Very nice stay at Amazing beach hotel! Staff are exceptional and made the experience much more enjoyable for me and my family. Property kept well. Perfect for solo travelers but even for a small family. Restaurants very close with good food. Waking up to the view of the beach was incredible. Highly recommend, I would definitely return myself! A+👌 ⚠️ A word of warning the Property only accept cash, so you will have to pay for your stay at the reception, not through Expedia or any other booking site. There was abit of confusion when I arrived and I had to pay again in cash but currently waiting for a refund from expedia, so it all worked out. Just letting you know to avoid this happening to someone else. ⚠️"
