Lovely but not recommended for families with young kids
Facilities are super. Lovely pools, restaurants, rooms, food, gym, beach and activities. Brilliant kids pool play area. Fancy welcome with a cocktail trolley.
We did not find it that family friendly. - The care at the kids club wasn't safe enough for us to feel comfortable leaving our kids there (kids in swimming pool unsupervised, staff needed encouraging to engage or interact with the kids, "programme" of activities did not match what was on offer). - It was hard to find any food between 5-7 as all the restaurants are shut and the buffet was not yet open. It turns out you can order Al la carte at the buffet restaurant but this wasn't clear and we had to ask several times to be allowed. - You had to make a reservation to eat at the beach restaurant over 24 hours in advance and it was booked up for most of our stay. The staff did try to accommodate us but this wasn't always possible. So if your kids are hungry you have to walk back up to the buffet restaurant. - Babysitting was expensive. For two toddlers who were asleep the whole time it was $35 per hour. Rooms are quite far from the bars/restaurants so our baby monitor wouldn't stretch. So we had to have one parent in the room and the other eating separately - The swimming pool ran out of towels and couldn't bring any more. So it's lovely but not the easiest place if you have kids. We stayed in other places that were more child friendly.

Excellent. We loved our stay at the Mora and would recommend it to anyone.
All of the food on offer was fantastic. We tried every restaurant on the complex, and we were never disappointed. The staff, the food, the drinks, the facilities and the beaches were all incredible.
The excursions were a little on the expensive side, but we got around that by using someone directly on the beach, saving $65 per person. I'd have liked the sauna to be included as well, but it was only available if you booked a spa treatment.

Great yoga, beach, and relax vacation
Great location, directly at the most beautiful beach of Zanzibar. Very large infinity pool and plenty of other pools to swim and play in. A lot staff and all very friendly. A lot of activities to choose from. Yoga with Sachin is really incredible, he is one of the best yoga teachers I have ever met. He will offer 2-3 group classes as well as 1:1 training on demand. Yoga and was my main activity during my stay :-) The live cooking event at the Asian restaurant was amazing too.
They have a main buffet restaurant (Horizon) as well as other smaller a la carte restaurants. The food at Horizon was basically ok/good but not really 4-5 stars in terms of products on offer. For lunch there is only one other option, for dinner you have two different options. The smaller restaurants you have to book in advance. So on a short-notice you can only eat in the buffet restaurant, which is fine in general. But to return for my next stay, I would like them to upgrade the offering at Horizon to a real 4-5 star experience.

Séjour Exceptionnel, je recommande vivement
L’établissement Emerald est exceptionnel en tout point de vue, et pourtant nous sommes très exigeants en terme de qualité. L’accueil était parfait, pas d’attente, boisson de bienvenue à l’arrivée. Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et au calme. Le ménage est fait tous les jours, la literie est impeccable, la climatisation fonctionne parfaitement, très large balcon (il manque juste un étendoir pour le linge mouillé), salle de bain très fonctionnelle avec douche à l’italienne. Le personnel est d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle, toujours serviable et soucieux de la satisfaction client! La restauration est très variée, plats présentés proprement, soirées barbecue avec homard, poisson etc... Il y a 2 restaurants à La Carte inclus en plus du restaurant principal, la décoration est magnifique, on y mange très bien. Et surtout la plage est splendide et très propre, avec comme paysage l’île de Mnemba juste en face! Je remercie très fortement tout le personnel d’Emerald qui était constamment au petit soin et nous on fait vivre des moments inoubliables. Asante sana
Tout était parfait. Il faudrait juste rajouter un étendoir aux balcons. Et revoir l’organisation des restaurants à La Carte car complet tous les soirs. Nous avons tout de même réussi à manger au Carnivor mais impossible d’avoir une table durant 6 jours à l’Asiatique faute de place et cela était un peu frustrant.

Very disappointing experience at 700$ per night
Food was awful, delay with golf car pick up, no towels until we call reception, transportation provided by hotel late by 40 minutes...
