Jambiani – Strandleigur

Alaine Spánn

I love everything about the property, very close to the village where you can find supermarket, restaurants, and any other kind of tour that I was looking for. 1min walking to the beach , not packed beach and with very chilled vibes, perfect for couples and families. The rooms are beautiful and comfortables, details oriented. Pool just for us anytime we wanted , and the fact that they don’t do the cleaning everyday for the climate impact we found it very ecological and nice, something that we appreciate.

The house (it has a kitchen, a big room, a bathroom, a living room and a balcony) was so big and clean. The balcony is excellent to rest or have breakfast. Two steps, the pool! Perfectly location, closer to the beach. The employees are very polite and always ready to satisfy the guests necessities. :)

First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to Paula and her team! They did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Paula is an incredibly warm and welcoming person and this creates a beautiful aura in the place. The bungalow we stayed in was comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. The huge advantage for me was the strong WiFi as I work remotely. Also, the swimming pools are really lovely. The whole residence has a very relaxed and serene atmosphere thanks to the amazing people working there who truly live out their passion for hospitality. The walk to the beach is just 2-3 min with lots of restaurants and bars. Overall, I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Zanzibar!

I have been looking forward to write this review, because this place is the best place we have ever been!!! And we have traveled a lot..From we booked to we left yesterday, we have felt so welcome and been taken so good care of! Excellence is the best word, and in every way! Hospitality, staff, food, the bungalows, housekeeping and the setting is spectacular, on one of the most beautiful beaches on Zanzibar. It’s easy to go to every parts of the island, because they have the best drivers on the planet. So calm, safe cars, on time, waiting for you while you do your plan for that day. They organize massage for you outside your bungalow, private barbecue, and set up trips to different activities on the island that you want to see. And the prices are good. What is good to know is that Jambiani Villas have three properties on the beach. The one in the middle has the restaurant for breakfast and other meals. We stayed on the property 350 meters north, but loved that breakfast walk every morning on the beach! The bungalow had the most amazing sea view, and every morning we sat on the balcony taking it all in, before we jumped into the turquoise water and walked for breakfast. They also offer room service for free, if you want your breakfast in your house, but I recommend the 5 min walk! It is also good to know that this is Africa! One row behind, you meet the locals and you see the poverty and the big differences. But you also see how important tourism are for the locals. We buy their beautiful handmade things, they got work on different properties and they are extremely friendly. We were totally safe even after sunsets, walking to a restaurant along the beach.

Reopened after a 2 year rebuild and renovation due to a tragic fire. The staff was amazing! Such a warm, welcoming, and lovely bunch that really take the time to provide personalized service! The pool is nice and refreshing as well as super clean with bar service throughout the day. Location is good with beachfront access even during high tide. Unique room options even with apartments so great for group of friends or family with kids. AC is cold and fans are in all rooms along with mosquito nets (though you won't need them). High value to cost ratio! I stayed here after staying nearby and was so glad I moved. Highly recommend!

Stephania belissima bella! We had a superb family beach holiday at Bahari Beach hotel. Above all we should mention lovely Stephania and her welcoming staff, are doing the ultimate to make you feel at home during your stay. Stephania build the place herself to what it is today, so you really feel she puts her hart into the business and her clientele. The hotel has a great beach vibe with a garden and open dining area straight on the beach. It has 5 rooms including 1 family room. Situated in the garden you feel that neatly wiped nice fine tropical island white sand under your feet as soon as you step out your hotel room door. Everything breaths the chill and relax vibe, all decorated in african style. The beach beds, the scattered around sitting corners all build from wood with palm tree roofing. You wont find any plastic furniture throughout the compound. Stephania has an eye for detail. And the food! The menu is a mix of tanzanian style seafood and italian style cuisine. Did i mention already Stephania is from Italy? So you can expect true Italian made dishes and pizza prepared by her mother! Mamma mia! Travelling with family of 5, we had 1 room with 2 kingsize and 1 room with 1 kingsize bed close to each other. The rooms are spacious and again with that authentic african decoration. The "ladies" are keeping the rooms clean and clear of creepy tiny wildlife you might expect in Africa under palm wooden roofing. So combined with outstanding wifi, even my kids had nothing to complain about! The hotel is situated at a quieter part of Jambiani beach, so no loud music or parties disturbing the peace. For a shop or groceries you will need a ride which you can book via the hotel or take a five minute walk to the mainroad and take a chance on the "local" public transport. Next time i visit i would hire a car for the week as prices are not high and getting around is easy.

Everything! 1- the pool is AMAZING: clean, big, places to sit inside the pool; 2- the hotel itself: very cute design, clean and big rooms, with everything you need. The kitchen is fully equiped too. Great bonus: the hotel provides cold water on arrival (a gallon). 3- the staff: very friendly staff, always ready to help and very kind. Special mention to Dona, the manager, who has a car and drove me to the supermarket and showed me around on my arrival day. 4- I felt very safe at the hotel (night guard, staff always there, small hotel) 5- If you love a quiet and peaceful place, this is for you. I hate big and crowded hotels. This one is super quiet and there is not many bungalows, so it never felt crowded even when the hotel was full. I LOVED IT! One of my favorite hotel yet 🩷

Nice new place in Jambiani. Very close to the beach - you're there in two minutes. Very quiet and tranquil, and Said - the host - is amazing. He is very attentive to detail and is one of the best hosts I've ever met. The room is very spacious and clean, and the bed has great mosquito nets. Breakfast is abundant, and DO TRY THE RESTAURANT! I cannot stress this enough. If I could, I would rate it more than 10.
