Liked: beautiful grounds, nice private beach and lots of activities to do with kids. We also had a villa with private pool which was perfect and great sized room for 4 of us (2 teenagers). Didn’t like: main pool felt a little like ‘a Butlins camp’ (no offense but obviously expect more for 5 star). Fully inclusive food and drink really mediocre. Staff were hit and miss with some lovely members whilst others looked miserable. Also would have loved a peaceful walk on the beautiful beach but you are bombarded by Maasai as soon as you take one step on there which is such a shame (not hotels fault of course!) Overall a lovely hotel but it’s not quite a 5 star for me but depends what you are looking for. Plenty of people looked like they were having wonderful time :)

Lovely staff couldn’t do enough for you, good food could do with some more protein for vegetarians, could do with some more staff in the restaurants. The tribes on the beach are annoying security need to warn them away more.

It far exceeded our expectations! The staff are extremely friendly, always attentive and keen to fulfill every wish. The choice of food is extensive and local specialities are the cherry on top pof the cake. A lot of love and commitment is put into the events for the holidaymakers (dinner on the beach, dinner around the pool, music shows, sports activities and much more! It was an absolute dream holiday!

The facilities could be more updated for a 5 star hotel. Service was great. Alcoholic drinks need to be stronger - it tasted non alcoholic unless you asked for "stronger".

For the most part, my experience was great. The only absolute disappointment was the gym. Very small, unsuitable for resort of this size. All inclusive option was also not so glamorous as all the restaurants were open only at certain times. For our entire stay, only one place was open for breakfast and two to three for dinner. But selection was good, although same or very similar every day.

Property was beautiful overall and the staff were very kind! They are very accommodating as well. they helped us with excursions, airport pick up/drop off, and have an amazing concierge. The food overall could have been better, but the Italian restaurant was amazing, It was more the buffet lunch and dinner that would've been better but overall similar to any other resort buffet.

I would have given 5 stars if check in was more smooth . Was given the wrong room and slow service to resolve it . Otherwise everyone and everything else is great . The food was excellent minus taste of asia was ok . Didn’t get to try the Italian restaurant. The main restaurant is excellent . The drinks and bartenders are superb . The facility is awesome and the beach area . Will be back again . The shisha was average but it’s so nice to have shisha on the beach . Shoutout to Aloyce, best bartender .

Staff was fantastic. Food pretty good. But limited ability to reserve at “restaurants” drinks are poor quality and limited…e.g a margarita costs extra. They use small plastic bottle waters. So not super eco friendly. Also expect folks to get up early and claim a chair with a towel and not show up for hours. But the staff bent over backwards to be accommodating.

The resort is wonderful. Beautiful beach and facilities. They arrange everything you need from transport to excursions. Shops and restaurants on site. I really didn’t have to leave if I didn’t want to. Staff was incredibly helpful with this being my first time to Zanzibar. My literal only complaint was how hard the mattress was. But it was a minor complaint because I was barely in the room. Too busy out having fun.

This was a great resort. So many good things to share and just a couple areas of improvement. Pros: - Very nice & attentive staff! If you have excursions booked, reception will call you & let you know the tour operator told them the pick up time. Staff provided guidance & tour of where everything was located. - Entire resort was not crowded at all! Plenty open dining and resting options on the beach. - The food is decent for a resort. - We were able to check in a couple hours early & didn’t have to pay a fee. - There’s bar & towel service on the beach. Very convenient. - Nice book share area but they’re all in Swahili. - The spa was nice. Nothing special but decent. Cons:- About an hour from ZNZ airport (which many resorts are) - The room was spacious but the bathroom is an open floor plan. We had to put a bedsheet over the bathroom window for a privacy. - The alcoholic drinks are watered down. Don’t waste your money. - Most food options are buffet & the staff & guests aren’t req to wear masks so be prepared for that. And germs with people touching their noses & then the utensils in the buffet like. - There were flies all over the breakfast food each morning & the staff didn’t care so I’d be cautious when in line. - The customer service at the Italian restaurant was a bit subpar in comparison to the broader resort operations. Not a good experience there.

The hotel grounds and accommodation are super and you cannot fault the staff. The AI pack is lacking though. The drink selection was poor and the food was repetitive. Sadly the same food is served in the different restaurants.

Beautiful 5 star resort. Great food, clean rooms, excellent service. Only concern is the very hard mattress. We stayed in the villa - an upgrade. The standard rooms were also very nice.

I've stayed with my family in Dream of Zanzibar for 7 nights and we had a wonderful time! The rooms were very spacious and clean (a big shout out for the housekeeping staff - thanks!) and all the staff very nice and helpful. I would definitely return and can recommend this resort. A couple of improvement points and notes though: - On our last day a massive group arrived (I believed it to be a company's trip) and the resort completely transformed itself: it used to be a dream family place, with quiet and silence, and it quickly transformed into a "spring break" type of resort, with noise and (very) drunk people shouting at each other in the swimming pool and playing with a volleyball in not a very soft way. This means the resort takes large groups and there is barely any control of their behaviour, and I feel that if they had arrived earlier during our stay there, our experience would've been different - Lunch starts at 1pm: this is perfectly fine for adults, but not ideal for families with kids that are used to earlier lunches. - Between the resort and the sea, on the sand, there are an "army" of (nice!) people trying to sell you stuff and get you to do tours. This can be quite intrusive sometimes, as they really push and you can never go swimming without having to say no to something 100 times. I don't know if this is the same in every resort in the area, but I know others in Zanzibar where it doesn't happen.
