We had an amazing time at Diamonds Resort!!! We stayed for week and enjoyed every aspect of the resort. The reception staff including Ally were accommodating to all of our needs and questions. The food was outstanding Marwa, Victor and Abbas made sure all the food and drinks were top notch! Our boys loved all the food options and drinks!! The pool was our family favorite place! Rasheed did an amazing job with making sure we had towels and chairs for our pool time. All the bar staff and wait staff were accommodating! We will be back for sure!!! Thank you to everyone who helped us and made us feel like family while we were there! See you next time!!

It’s far away from the loud streets of Stone Town and the crowded, popular beaches. Tucked away is this quaint resort that has a pool, seaside bungalows, and 2 restaurants. The buffet was great every day with many varied foods. The girl is on the east side and not too far a drive to mist day trip destinations. The staff were very friendly and tried their best to please. Once in a lifetime experiences and then a cozy, comfortable place to come back to…..nice!

Room/Cottage was superb - loks like a small African village which makes the atmosphere just perfect. Reception and dinning area same - like an African lodge. Food enough choices and tasty - super choices of fresh fruits, pasta and pancakes.

The smile of all people that work there . Excellent service , clean facility, exceptional food . Victor is amazing cheff .Compliments to the staff that works with him . Compliments to the waiters and waitress that work in the restorants .Compliments to the gardners for the beautiful flowers. Compliments to our cleaning room Eva for her grace and to the other like her that where working very hard . Everting was perfect ? No . What remains is a wonderful vacation . A constructive critic will be on the drinks 🍸 side . Needed more quality selection . Very unusual to do not have prosecco and if we have to pay a part for "Sanbuca" we expect something good. Instead was orrible and we couldn't not even drink but we had to pay . Like i said we enjoyed the vacation but the management has to do more for not felling in this mistakes. I will give a 4.5 in 5 stars 🌟 .

The front office desk was working well.

Best holiday I have had thus far 👌

Had a great time, thank you!

The staff went out of their way to ensure your needs were satisfied.

Great staff

It's a beach front hotel! Pros: As it is a little higher than the beach, the beach boys would just bother you when you would go to the beach, when you are inside the hotel property they don't. They serve coconut water daily, and for it was a big plus! It's a big hotel, lots of sunbeds and places to hang around Cons: The beach was full of seaweed, and for the 8 days that I was there they just cleaned the excess on the sand just once. Other surrounding hotels did it more often. If you want fresh beach towels, you have to give them back the used ones till 6pm. As there is sun till 7pm, for me it was a problem, as I needed to cut short my day so I'd have fresh towels the next day. For a 4 star hotel, I wasn't expecting that. On Sundays and Thurdays nights, they serve dinner outside, with live music. It was really nice, except the music went till 10:15pm and 10:30pm, and it really bothered me, as I was jet lagged and wanted to sleep early, but the music was loud.

We had a wonderful two nights, we here my boyfriend. We were able to enjoy

The resort is located about 1 hour from the airport on the east of the island. Don't make the mistake that we made in booking a hotel transfer directly from the hotel as they are obliged to use the in-house "Zanzitours" transfer service at $75. (We booked a local taxi for the return transfer at $40) We arrived at the hotel just after 15:00 local time which was after lunch time cut-off but we were invited to have lunch regardless - big thumbs up for that The hotel is about 25 years old and is beginning to look a little tired but it is a lovely nonetheless. Our room was nice: well appointed but again, needs a refresh. We had a beachside villa (room 145) which was probably the best located villa on the resort - closest villa to the main resort building and the beach club hut. Rooms 144 and 147 will also share this ideal location The food is delicious - drinks are plentiful (we took the all inclusive option) and service is friendly. However, step out onto the public beach and you are fair game for constant pestering from the locals, selling their wares and offering sightseeing tours and sailing trips (at reduced costs offered by the hotel) Entertainment is provided by the "animation team" led by Shuma, who are young, enthusiastic and linguistically talented - amongt them, they could converse with all Europeans guests and provided a number of activities for those who wanted to take part

Excellent all inclusive

There were so many flying ants in the room at night when we came back from the pool. The hotel staffs were so slow to take action. I had to ask the reception to solve the problem many time. I will never stay here again.

It was fabulous beginning to end. My happy place. Best Holliday ever.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Facilities were always clean and tidy, and were well maintained. Beach villa (amazing view of the beach!) cleaned twice daiily and always nicely made up with flower decorations. Very comfortable beds. Local vendors, although very friendly, tend to mob guests who venture out onto the beach/ walk to the reef, and are extremely persistant. Food can become somewhat repetitive and could do with more variety.

Excellent resort, service and accommodation - the staff couldn't do enough! Food was great and weather just made it perfect.

This hotel is absolutely amazing. The service was always there and the staff always aim to please. My daughter held her wedding at the Diamonds Mapenzi Beach and the event turned out fabulous. The best point is that it is all inclusive. The food was always of the highest quality and the chefs were always there for comments and a friendly chat. I would strongly suggest this hotel if you need to relax on holiday or distress. 10/10 for the management and staff at Diamonds Mapenzi Beach Hotel.

Had the most amazing stay here. Cocktails in the menu were superb. Surrounding just beautiful and the staff could not do enough for you.

Great swimming pool for the kids and beach, loved that place!

Great place to go with kids. All you’re worries are attended to. Great selection of food, great property, friendly staff

This hotel is amazing! The food is lovely, the staff are friendly and best of all it’s a very family friendly hotel. The only issue we had was that the bedding was minimal it was really cold in the room and it would have been great if there was a blanket as well as the bed sheet on the bed. Other than that it was an amazing stay and I would gladly go back again.

Very welcoming friendly and relaxing place to stayWithout doubt this is the friendliest hotel I have stayed at. Every single member of staff from the gardeners to Ester at the reception, just lovely, friendly people - nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was clean and they put on a big screen to show the World Cup games for those interested. Food (buffet included for breakfast lunch and dinner) and drinks are plentiful and for those who like seafood you can book to have it at the beach restaurant at extra cost. Lots of places to relax and read - could do with some more sun beds. Trips outside the hotel are really expensive but that is the same from all the hotels not just this one. Not sure the high cost of the day trips are justified and we certainly didn’t do as much as we would have done had the prices been more realistic. Evening entertainment included from acrobatic shows to dancing and Swahili lessons. Table tennis, pool table and the dreaded WiiU and PS4 which were a god send on rainy days.
