Marafiki Beach Hotel & Spa

We had a fabulous stay at Marafiki Beach hotel! The entire hotel area was very peaceful and calm. Lots of comfortable seating arrangements in the pool area. The rooms were simply but tastefully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and there was lots of space to hang and store cothes. We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant on all days. There was a good selection of dishes and plenty of vergetarian options. The food was excellent. We also enjoyed cocktails a few evenings at the charmingly decorated beach bar next door. We booked some treatments at the spa and it was fantastic. The location is great facing the sea and the massage therapist Happiness was very skilled! Highly recommentd. The hotel also arranged transportation for us at competitive rates. The highlight of the hotel was the wonderful staff. They were always very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone from the cleaning ladies to the reception staff and the restaurant and bar personnel were smiling and helpful. Their friendliness and thoughtfulness really made our stay special. We look forward to visiting Zanzibar and staying at Marafiki beach hotel again.

I stayed here recently during a visit to Zanzibar. What can I say .......... the location is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and airy, the food is lovely, the staff are friendly and the spa treatments are top class. The pool is perfect when the tide is too far out to swim in the sea. The sand is white and the loungers are comfortable.

We are very happy after our amazing holiday. The location is beautiful with white sand and a nice beach. Management and the rest of the staff are lovely! Very cozy. Also, we liked everything what we ate in the restaurant

I had the best time in your hotel, from the time we arrived to the time we left and in a group of 22! The staff and management cannot do enough for you, the views are amazing and the food was just delicious. Would definitely return!!!!

Location: right next to the Matemwe beach. We loved having breakfast at the beautiful balcony of our King Suite, which overlooked the pool, the beach and the sea outside. Overall setting: meticulously designed with great taste. The room, poolside, restaurant and other facilities were all very well designed to create the perfect vibe for us to wind down and chill. Food: very delicious, which was so important because we were eating all our meals in the restaurant throughout the 4-night stay. The food and cocktail were amazing, definitely on par with the best high-end hotel restaurants we tried in Stone Town. And we felt so assured trying out all their cocktails and cold drinks after seeing them make ice with bottled water! Staff: the people here were the jewel of the crown. We expected the service to be good, but never thought it would be this good... The staff were not only very nice and attentive to our needs, they were extremely friendly, in the most literal sense! You can see that they sincerely enjoy chatting with you, getting to know you and sharing with you their language and culture if you're interested. They seemed truly happy on their job, which made us feel like they were a bunch of friends around taking care of us and having fun together with us. On the last day of our stay, we felt so bad having to leave these friends and this charming tropical paradise... We will always remember the warm, sincere and friendly smiles of Hugo, Juma Combo and Halima. Thank you so much for giving us such wonderful memories on our honeymoon. Asante sana. Tutaonana!
