The food and drink quality for this premium priced resort was pretty bad. The dining area is pretty poorly maintained and the variety and quality of the food is poor. Also when we got back from the resort, I found a cockroach in my bag…

It is OK if you want to just relax and it is close to the ferry terminal, compared to other hotels. But I would say, there is no beach for you to enjoy at all. I won't come back here next time I travel to Zanzibar.

The property was on a cliff by the ocean, very scenic! The management and staff were rude, disrespectful, and thoughtless. Traveled on my husband’s birthday and check in took over an hour as they couldn’t locate the expedia booking. Did nothing special for the husband’s birthday, even on request. Meanwhile the airport hotel we stayed at night before noticed that the husband was traveling on bday and surprised us with a song for him next morning. Beds were uncomfortable and creeky and real bad pillows. Stray cats all over the property.

Pros: nice grounds on the property, lush and green, nice room with ocean view and soaking tub, delicious menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, spa services have affordable prices and Lucy gave a fantastic deep tissue massage and the plunge pool was in a nice quiet area. Cons: not a swimmable beach, pool hours 7am-7pm and inconsistent service during meal time. Consistently waiting over 15 minutes for silverware and drink orders and not clearing plates. This was frustrating, especially when it was not during busy hours.

The spa services was excellent the food was Good, Room was ok amd so generally all the services were up to the expectations execpt for the fact that they don't have mobile money payment method which is very convenient especially on holidays and weekends..what if the one looses his or her Atm card but has money on their mobile app. They need to have a mobile money payment method for convenience. 7 out of 10.👍

The outdoors area of the hotel is fantastic. The plants are green and taken care of, the pool is nice and the view is great! The range of activities was also good. However, we were extremely disappointed by our room. Extremely outdated and is in dire need of a renovation (the showers and taps were almost unusable, the toilet still has the old pumping system, and we had a sewage smell in the bathroom). The food was also mediocre. Additionally, it's been a while since I've seen 'towel cards' in a 5 star hotel. Other comments complained about the service, but we had no issues at all. All in all, not worthy of its 5 star rating unfortunately.

Sea Cliffs at first glance is impressive. The amenities are great and Allan the manager is very helpful. After a shrunken shirt despite clear written instructions, was replaced with 2 more. Any spoons at the restaurant are hard to find. The service team generally could care less and was apathetic. Charles was the one exception in the restaurant. The rooms were not cleaned on several occasions and we found they were not actively replacing bet sheets. A second room due to itching in the first found a hair in the linen and the sheets were literally short sheeted. At checkout the bill was wrong and had charges to another person with a female russian name. It took over an hour and several translators to explain this issue and a laundry bill for 29USD was missing at checkout. The wifi is generally not usable for any work related tasks and of the 25MPS to the hotel, any one device often is at 2MPS or 1. The golf course is a bonus, as is the jetti pier, and two infinity pools making this a unique property. Golf service was terrible as the golf assistant did not write down the booking for 9AM and gave it to anther client, but the lessons were great. One instructor present at 9AM and confusion. This was on top of the fact a golf cart could not be made available to get there from the lobby. The bikes are all unusable but one. Sea cliffs has alot ot offer. Service is not one of them. Terrible service. The worst I have seen while living in hotels for 3 years. Awful

You have to give the Sea Cliff Resort a big thumbs up for keeping the quality and service during the time of Covid. I had wonderful stay. The staff is more the competent and served me in style with a smile even behind their masks. My only issue was that during my past visits I really enjoyed the buffet but alas there was no buffet this time because of so few guests which is understandable. I just wish I had know in advance so I could have pre-ordered the special meals. Still they made up for it by offering delicious multiple course meals. I will return sooner rather than later.

Upon arrival at the hotel we felt like we were entering paradise! It was so picturesque, clean and with beautiful views.We were a little disappointed by the rooms however, especially the bathroom which was tiny and not particularly modern. Also none of the rooms with the exception of the Deluxe rooms get much natural light during the day as all rooms are shaded by the roof over the patio. That might not be a bad thing given the air conditioning in our room didn’t work particularly well.All those criticisms being made, I can not fault the staff, their service, the all-inclusive options or the facilities. It might not sound like it from this review but there are many more positives about this hotel than negatives. Just don’t go there expecting it to be of a 4-star international chain standard.

The location and outside facilities were very good. Overall atmosphere was good.Rooms were a bit of an disappointment for the price we paid. On the small side, with limited furni9shings, need updating as seem to be in the same state from 90's.Same for bathroom. Airconditioning noisy and did not function one night.Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very limited vegetarian menu on the first night, but upon pointing this out, the kitchen chef prepared special meals for us in following evenings. Overall was a good stay, no WOW factor.

As newlyweds Sea Cliff offers a pleasant experience, they do the basics very well but lack the WOW factor to make it an amazing experience.All of the staff were always polite and happy to help, however the pool staff didn't proactively approach guests for drinks/food requests on a regular basis, usually you need to go to the bar or hope that someone is passing. The inclusion of leisure activities for free (pool, squash, darts, bikes, table tennis, tennis, snorkelling, kayaking and other non-motorised water sports) are a good idea however they are of a low quality, for example the snorkels and masks were dirty and not cleaned after each guest, pool balls were missing, darts had no flights and bikes were unavailable.They offer a shuttle bus into Stone Town with little to no information, arriving in town the bus driver simply pulls over and indicates to leave the bus. With men hounding at the window as you pull up and following individuals for 50m to offer 'tour guide services' it was a bit much for the elderly couple who were traveling with us and could have been managed with a simple communication to guests.The list goes on, they set high guest expectations with their prices and fall short of amazing due to their neglect for the details. For our honeymoon and the price we paid I expected more, ultimately it has the ingredients for an amazing holiday and its disappointing that they go 90% of the way and yet fail to deliver due to seemingly a lack of care.

My wife and I travel to Zanzibar about every two to three years. We have stayed on all sides of the island, in and out of town. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Understand we were celebrating 40 years of marriage. We have seen all the sights and taken all the tours. This was a relaxing week away from the maddening crowd. The staff are well trained and attentive. I was empressed with not just how they treated us, speaking Swahili, but tourists who were English bound were well attended to also. The grounds were well kept up. The food was very good. The sunsets were romantic. I highly recommend the sea view rooms. We paid the extra for the upgrade and enjoyed it.

Lovely experience all-round - beautiful location with very helpful and polite staff. Even the check-in for our group (we were there for a wedding) was the most pain-free one I've ever had. The attention to detail made the wedding one to remember!

Very beautiful location and near most things. Although dissapointed the free shuttle bus was only running at 9am and back at 1pm. The hotel advertises that there is one at 2pm which is not true. Which meant getting a taxi there and back was very expensive $30 each way and stonetown. is a must for afternoon and evening. But the staff are super friendly a the rooms lovely as is the pools etc would recommend
