Sea Crest Hotel is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday with opportunities to experience the local life. The Manager Gabriel, Receptionist Winni and the rest of the staff, do what they can to make your stay as perfect as possible. Whether it's shopping or trips. They do everything they can to ensure that you get a perfect experience. The Breakfast was super - A mix of International and local food - Fresh fruit and juice every day. And for lunch, snack and dinner there was also a mix of International and local food to choose from. The room was big and comfortable with a perfect sea view. I hope to come back some day.
It would be nice with some better sunbeds :)

4.1
La disponibilità disarmante del manager, Gabriel e della ragazza alla reception.
Nonostante le innumerevoli problematiche della struttura hanno cercato, seppur con minimi risultati, di sistemare le cose. Ma purtroppo, la struttura è fatiscente e la proprietà non vuole saperne di mettere mano al portafoglio. Davvero complimenti al manager che è consapevole di tutte le problematiche della struttura e più e più volte ha chiesto scusa per i disagi patiti.
Quasi tutto quello che viene pubblicizzato come servizi su Booking non corrisponde a verità. Solo a titolo esemplificativo ma non esaustivo, manca il bidet, mancano le pantofole in camera, o meglio ci sono, ma sono delle pantofole usate, vecchissime e consumate, si rischia di prendere qualche fungo ad utilizzarle. Non ci sono frigoriferi nelle stanze, mi è stato portato dopo 5 giorni dall’inizio del soggiorno dopo mia richiesta e solo dopo che gli ospiti di una stanza che lo aveva sono andati via. Non c’è il bollitore in camera. Le televisioni, se pur presenti, non sono collegate a nessuna antenna. Lavandini otturati che in 14 giorni non sono riusciti a sistemare. Piscina con tutto il fondo scrostato. Per raggiungere la spiaggia privata bisogna attraversare attraverso una non sicura scala sgarrupata, un, non so come definirlo, pollaio/discarica.
Il problema più grande della struttura è un malfunzionamento dell’impianto elettrico in quanto, a detta del manager, il proprietario non vuole acquistare uno stabilizzatore di corrente, apparecchio che tutti gli altri hotel hanno e che ha lo scopo di dare la giusta potenza alla struttura. La mancanza di questo apparecchio comporta non poche difficoltà, ovvero: impossibilità di utilizzare l’aria condizionata, corrente che salta di continuo, mancanza di acqua sia calda che fredda in quanto l’acqua viene portata alla struttura tramite delle cisterne messe sopra il tetto. Cisterne che per pompare l’acqua necessitano di una pompa elettrica, che senza la giusta potenza va in blocco, anche decine di volte al giorno e necessita lo sblocco manuale. Innumerevoli volte, sia di giorno che di notte, ho visto il manager salire sul tetto per far ripartire la pompa.
Le cose miglioravano quando attaccavano il generatore di corrente ma solo quando avevano il carburante. Giornate intere senza corrente e senza acqua.

Nice location - with access to the beach and local restaurants nearby, great service - staff was friendly. We had a great stay and enjoyed the friendly service and buffet breakfast.
The menu had limited options and I kinda like my foods to have flavor.

The bathrooms need to be updated.
4.1
The location was beautiful and looks just like, if not better than the pictures. The staff was super friendly and were always ready to help. The room was clean and we got a new towel everyday. You also get complimentary shampoo, shower gel and toothbrush. The food was good.
You have to go down some stairs and walk a minute to get to the beach, but that's no problem. They have some sunbeds and security to watch your things while you swim.
Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for some quite and relaxation.
They didn't have appetizers/snacks on the menu, so if you feel peckish but not hungry you'll just have to order a meal. The stairs down to the beach have no railing, so if you have an impairment you'll struggle. But the stairs are wide so you don't fear you'll fall.

The environment was peaceful and really quiet. Coming back from a day’s tour deserves that quietness. The staff, the were fantastic. Very welcoming and always had that smile on their faces.
Let’s talk about the room. One word describes it… Manifique. Breakfast was spot on and served on time.
A big thank you to all those at Sea Crest who made our stay an incredible experience. 🙏🏽
I recommend the install ceiling fans in the restaurant area to deal with the heat sometimes.
Also, they should provision to start selling alcohol on site(Bar) as they’re will be guests like us who will fancy a sip.
Also, dustbins or wastebasket should be made available in rooms.

My 2 nd time with them and it is always a pleasure. The attention and of course the upgrade of the room is something that touched me. The staffs are always friendly and ready to help.
I will definitely return and hope the new rooms by the beach would be ready.
The Sea Crest sign from main road is not clear/ remarkable. If someone doesn't know the place, he/she can be lost.

The rooms were very comfortable and the arrangement on beds looks so nice. The cleaning was made every day, including changing the towels and even the toothbrushes. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and we listened very nice music. It was a real pleasure to stay here.
Sometimes we got power failures and also, the WI-FI (the internet) were down.
The power should be more stable, else the electronic devices might break.
4.1
the location is very nice, nice swimming pool
they let us wait for one hour before we could go to our room, no rush at all.
the bathroom is really bad for such a good looking hotel. low water pressure, smell from the sewer, rust all over the mirror.
do NOT use their laundry service, worst experience in my life. it took them two days to do the laundry, they returned it wet in a plastic wrap, so quite smelly and worst of all the guy WROTE his name on the clothes. Mostly on labels but on one of our Tshirts he wrote his name on the picture just in the middle of the tshirt. The only answer was they are really sorry, no compensation at all.
Food is nothing special there. We got tuna and the waitress asked us if it was good, when we said yes, she was like, ah really?
4.1
Very clean and nice European-style hotel, few meters from Kiwengwa Beach, which is by no means one of the best beaches in Zanzibar. The rooms were very comfortable. We had breakfast and dinner included. The food was ok, a bit repetitive - all the same every day- but good. Very nice pool area and private spot on the beach. Stay there some days so you get known with people.
4.1
The place is clean and peaceful not to mention so close to the beach, the food extra nice and the staff made our stay feel like we were at home. Of special mention Peter, Winnie, Gabriel and Karen these guys are such angels and a real pleasure to be around.

Very nice and kind staff. Hotel is clean and good location.
4.1
We had a nice view from the balcony and also the garden and pool was beautiful. But that was it...
Really big disappointment. The worst were the breakfasts! We had just toast and a little egg omelette and everything was so dry. During our holiday we have been also in villa for another 6 days for twice as cheap price as here and the breakfasts was like ten times better then this! I want my money back that is how angry I am. Also there was no wifi and staff must to make a hotspot for us which does not even work for all time. Also the water was cold and if you wanted to switch for a hot water there was no pressure and you can not even have a shower! Maybe it was because of corona and because we were the only one in the hotel but that is no excuse. The day we were leaving, the staff invited some people for a party or whatever. This was really unprofessional. Also they made fun of us all the time and thought we can not understand. We had our honeymoon and this totally ruined it for us.
