The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was phenomenal and the shows spectacular. It was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend Jambiani Villas to all.
Jambiani villa ( Kusini) is a beautiful 3 bed villa on the jambiani beach , which is situtated on the southeren side of Zanzibar , its calm and oeacful there ideal for families .
The property was exactly as described, on the beach, clean, peaceful and with amazing staff. We were greeted by Temayani who looked after us from when we arrived ( early) to getting our room ready as soon as possible and then arranging a generous late check out. Other staff included Shemsha, Grace and Guidion who made the whole vacation beyond amazing. Thank you so much
The staff and especially Grace made me feel so welcome and comfortable. It was a wonderful relaxing vacation staying in the apartment. Got several massages and booked some excursions through the villas. Hope to come back and visit again!

Jambiani Villas was absolutely fantastic. My Dad and I stayed for a couple of days and our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a great place to stay in Jambiani.

AMAZING place!
Our stay at the Jambiani villas was incredible. Our villa in front of the ocean was a dream, and it was hard to leave this paradise. The place was impeccable. The beds are super comfortable. The views were simply extraordinaire. The food was delicious, and the staff was so friendly. I wish we could have stayed longer, and I cannot wait to return. I cannot strongly recommend this magic place more .

Nice moment at Jambiani Villa
We had a very good time at Jiambiani Villa. The hotel is perfectly located, “almost in” the sea! We can enjoy the swimming pool during low tides. We had the chance to have BBQ with local food and a show, local band and dancers, very nice to discover! The apartment have every commodities and tastefully decorated.
Eine perfekte Location zur Entspannung.
Großzügige, saubere Häuser mit aufmerksamen Housekeeping. Die Sonnenliegenpolster werden regelmäßig gereinigt.
Das gesamte Personal ist extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch Sonderwünsche werden versucht umgehend zu realisieren.
Die feste Speisenkarte wird täglich ergänzt durch meist regionale Gerichte. Die Küche kocht sehr lecker.
Das man nur zur Flut gut im Meer baden kann wird durch den Pool kompensiert. Da die Anlage klein ist, wird es nirgendwo voll.
Hinter der Anlage beginnt dass einfache, afrikanische Leben der Einheimischen. Unsere Erfahrungen sind nur gut. Alle sind sehr freundlich und nicht aufdringlich.

Villas magnifiques idéales en famille !
Les villas sont magnifiques et très bien équipées !
Le petit déjeuner est excellent, le meilleur qu’on a fait ! Le dîner animé BBQ et live band au top aussi.
Par contre vous devez marcher 7min sur la plage pour rejoindre le restaurant et PDJ.

We loved everything about our stay here! The villas are amazing! You have your own front space that is looking at the ocean. The beach was so beautiful right in front of us. Anytime we had a problem they helped us immediately. Everything was so Beautiful and clean! I’m pretty sure this is my favorite place I’ve ever stayed in my whole life! It was worth every penny!

Bo i midten
Vi boede først på den nordligst ejendom og det var ikke noget for os. Så flyttede vi ned til den midterste ejendom og det nød vi. Her var en skøn udsigt over havet fra huset og dejligt med restauranten lige i nærheden. Søde ejer.

PARADIS SUR TERRE
Dès l'entrée à l'hôtel on était ko. Un endroit paradisiaque propre et bien confortable. Avec une villa très charmante. En 10 min max on s'est senti vraiment comme à la maison. Piscine pour 4 villas autant dire piscine privée. Une plage magnifique. Une vue au réveil à couper le souffle. Aucune fausse note. Le personnel est très accueillant et chaleureux. La responsable est très accessible et veille à notre confort. Le restaurant est parfait. Comme vous pouvez le constater on est complètement sous le charme de cet endroit.

Jättemysigt
Mysigt hotell uppdelat med några 100 m mellanrum. Vi fick varje morgon gå en skön promenad på stranden före frukost vilket var jätteskönt. Trevlig och glad personal, supergod frukost. Allt var toppen dock så var det stor fattigdom direkt utanför hotellet in mot byn vilket kändes lite beklämmande.

Bra att känna till så är det 3 små områden där frukost o restaurang ligger i den som är i mitten.
