Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true.
As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it!
As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK!
Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way.
To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.
Featuring a terrace with Indian Ocean views, set by sandy Kiwengwa Beach, the 30-acre site includes a spa, pool and sports facilities.

Seashore is a lovely quiet boutique hotel made up of rustic beach bungalows a stone’s throw from the beach and a short walk to the main town. The main strip is plagued by sellers so it was so lovely to come back to the peace and tranquillity of Seashore.

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

We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.
I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.
Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

Front Office led by Victor was outstanding and exceeded our expectations
The restaurant and other staff were extremely courteous and helpful in all circumstances.
The Food and Beverager Manager Zablon is a kind and focused man, results oriented.
What I liked the most was the location of room, directly on the sea with a great view
The location of hotel was also good, very close to kiwengwa public beach (5 mins by car) where you can spend the day there as there are many restaurants and bars
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were smiling all the time, very welcoming (Ask for Kashak always, he is such a nice and funny guy)
The food was also great, all the meals tasted so good. The variety of meals and buffets were good and exceeded expectations
It was our first time in Zanzibar and having picked the place online, we were really impressed by the inclusive nature of the resort. It is truly an amazing holiday resort and it is probably the best value for money hotel in Kiwengwa. The staff are very friendly and all embody the Hakuna Matata spirit of Zanzibar. Harry at the reception particularly went out of his way to make our stay pleasurable and memorable.
One can truly enjoy a fantastic holiday with minimal activities outside the resort.
I loved my stay at Zan View Hotel. The staff was very helpful throughout our journey, always ready to accommodate us and very friendly. The location is perfect for someone looking for a quiet and calm area. I was happy to go through the village to get to the beach, it allowed me to meet wonderful people and to get in touch with the local culture. I booked most of my activities through the hotel and it went very well.
I would gladly stay there again if I ever go back to Zanzibar!
We are an American couple who have been living in Tanzania for years. We booked confidently in this corner of paradise which is Kiwengwa, for us the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. The villa was really good and it’s decor is lovely. The bed is comfortable (superb having the duvet) and the bathroom/shower is quite spacious. Although there were other villas nearby, ours was slightly secluded and private. The hosts really went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
Our stay was smooth and quite nice, after staying in different hotels in Zanzibar I know when I find a gem and Boho boutique hotel is one of them. Daniel and Roxana makes you feel immediately at home. Their such a nice host.
The hotel is clean, modern and stylish just very close to the beach. Amazing for a Zanzibar vacation of your dreams. Thank you Daniel, Roxanna and the team for hosting us, we will surely come back again!

Leo and Sabrina
The Melia Zanzibar is a good hotel without direct access to the beach
The staff is perfect.
But we can't consider this a 5 star hotel.
The breakfast is poor.
The is no beach access.
The decoration is old and not appropriate for a 5 star hotel.
We asked an upgrade for the Melia The Level and there you can consider has a 5 star hotel but the food and breakfast once again is too poor for the price.
I would return because of the staff.
Almost private pool, there are just 2 or 3 rooms and you get to have a pool and a beautiful garden in which you can chill and enjoy nature. The restaurant offers one of the most genuine and tasty dishes we had in Zanzibar and everything is fresh (the owner gets the fish and the lobsters straight from the fisherman at the beach!). The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is so friendly and kind.
Excellent hotel with a super nice view of the ocean. It has only 5-6 rooms so, it is very calm and relaxing. Staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. They made us feel at home. Breakfast & dinner were delicious! Pool adds to the view and, although not very big, nice to chill around and relax. Overall an amazing place and our favourite in Zanzibar, highly recommended and cannot wait to come back!
Thank you Z-Lodge Hotel for a special vibe and excursion experiences in Zanzibar - it was unforgettable and very emotional stay. Lack of ocean during tides did disturb me before coming, but 2-3 hours of high tide time was enough to swim in the ocean every day. Delicious dishes and cocktails at the restaurant was very important part of vocation. Shortly- Happy with my choice.
We had a very nice stay in Kiwengwa at the Z-Lodge. The Staff was very nice, food was very good and our room was very nice. There is not much around and the beach is quite small. But in case you enjoy a quiet, relaxing stay, this place is very nice. Of course the hotel also offers tours and transfers. We used a transfer to go on a Quad tour in Kiwengwa which was super nice.
best hotel/resort I’ve stayed in, staff soo friendly and professional. they think of everything.
It was summed up by our final night on this Zanzibar trip, we were the last people having dinner at the Jetty restaurant, one of the staff members on the golf buggy knew somehow we were the last and drove to meet us, it saved my wife a long walk in her heels.
I stayed in la base for 5 and the experience has been great. The place is really clean and comfortable. The restaurant is located right in front of the beach so you'll definitely have a relaxing time while enjoying your meal and drinks. Thanks to the hosts Cris and Luca. They were really cool. This place is a must when you're in kiwengwa.
The resort has an amazing private beach and the ocean in Kiwengwa is beautiful. My room had the perfect ocean view.
Food was absolutely delicious, the local chefs did a very good job.
I also had a massage.. the lady has magic hands.
The owners are very friendly and they make sure you are happy with everything.
We had an amazing week here in Zanzibar, the Hotel is near the famous and cool Kiwengwa beach and the manager of the Hotel (Daniele) helped us for everything…tours,food,tips about the island every time impeccable,helpful and polite. Good Breakfast, lovely rooms in Zanzibar style. Everything nice! Thanks a lot!
Too bad it was only for 2 days! Unfortunately the hotel was full and we could not stay longer. As the hotel is new, there were a few shortcomings, but overall great. Very nice rooms, clean, satellite TV which is not so obvious on Zanzibar, air conditioning and a fan. I recommend!
It is a small oasis in Zanzibar!
We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights, but really wished we could stay more. Staff was superfriendly and helpful, food was amazing and the location is truly a gem! 100% recommend!!!
I liked every about the hotel, the cleanliness, the happy people, the good comfortable rooms everything was very good, the tea in the rooms , the beds and the food,
