Located in Pongwe, a few steps from Pongwe Beach, Karibu Beach Resort provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The breakfast was good, several choices on the menu. I wish I could have kept out of the bread bowl😋. All the meals we had there were very good and reasonably priced. The hotel and especially the staff were exceptional! They positively cater to your needs. We used the front desk for day trips and everything went very smoothly. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, our stay was fantastic!

Casa Paradis

Hotel in Jambiani Beach, Jambiani

Casa Paradis has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, garden, a terrace and bar in Jambiani. An unexpected oasis in the heart of Zanzibar. Meandering through the bumpy and dusty dirt roads, you can't help wonder where on earth you're going; but prepare yourself for a wonderful surprise. Nestled in Zanzibar's Jambiani region is this beautiful heavenly hotel with jaw dropping views of the ocean and sunrise. Once we arrived, we were greeted by the couple-owners themselves. Denisa and Val were incredibly kind and gracious, like good friends you have known for decades. When they shared the story about Casa Paradis, it was evident that this was no normal hotel in Zanzibar – this was their labour of love; and it showed! The attention to detail really stood out for us, especially in Zanzibar were things can be a little hit and miss. Every little detail in the hotel and our rooms has been carefully thought out; to make this stay probably one of the most comfortable hotel experiences we have ever had (and we live in Dubai). It felt like home, away from home with amazing company thrown in. The best part was you're only minutes away from everything, but the privacy, calmness and quietness makes it feel like you are the only people on the island! Then came dinner! The menu is new everyday, a rare treat for Zanzibar where food can get a little monotonous, which isn't always a bad thing, but not at Casa Paradis! Their adjacent Nobis restaurant was so exceptional its easy to forget you're in Zanzibar. From the quality of ingredients to presentation, you can't help but want to eat there every night, and we almost did! 😅 The best part me and my fiancé equally admired was the fact that Denisa and Val were working alongside their local staff all night! Denisa in the kitchen with the chefs and Val serving guests with exceptional service! Food prepared with love, served with love is food received with love. Thank you Denisa, Val and everyone at Casa Paradis for making our stay so special!

Hekaya Zanzibar

Hotel in Pingwe

Located in Pingwe, a few steps from Michamvi Pingwe Beach, Hekaya Zanzibar has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. All of the staff are extremely warm and friendly, and they provided services that far exceeded our expectations. Jacqueline at the front desk helped us book all of our activities, gardener Jonny took us on a tour of the gardens, the Chef helped us cook the fish we caught ourselves, and the restaurant servers would open fresh coconuts for us... We will definitely return, for the beautiful and captivating sea of Paje, as well as the lovely Hekaya.

Catherine, Siwema and Robert were very kind and they have taken care of us close to perfection! We are looking forward to stay there again and continue to enjoy what the region in general and the hotel in particular have to provide.
