Top Mapenzi Beach Hotel Reviews

Melia Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"The best place i have visited. It made me feel at home"

Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Location of property , service by staff, manicured landscape , pools and overall being at one resort all excellent. Had a room closest to ocean and felt great. Sea safari by Jackson is a treat. Rooms are spacious. Food options are many. We are used to some different taste we felt at their specialty restaurants. General buffet is outstanding with plentiful of choices. Overall you will be happy you stayed here."

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"Our inbound transportation wasn’t there due to misunderstanding on the hotel part even though we had called and exchanged few emails but they found a quick solution for us and it went very smoothly. I would suggest to add some snacks (cookies, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars, etc .) at the bar and not only drinks to make it more convenient."
