Wir haben uns das Hotel aufgrund seiner Exclusivität ausgesucht auch wenn es sehr hochpreisig ist. Wenig Zimmer, ein schöner kleiner Pool und eine wunderbare Aussicht auf das Meer. Hier kann man so richtig entspannen und die Ruhe und den excellenten Service genießen. Besonders Eddie ❤️ und Mau ❤️ sind sehr herzlich und haben unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Ich persönlich hatte hier einen wirklich traumhaften Geburtstag am Meer mit Seafoodplatte und Geburtstagskuchen. Man hatte immer das Gefühl willkommen zu sein. Getränke wurden uns überall serviert...aufs Zimmer, an den Pool und das in richtigen Gläsern nicht in Plastik. Einfach Weltklasse! Das Frühstück war immer frisch und ließ keine Wünsche offen. Vermisst haben wir nur Kleinigkeiten zum Lunch... Bruschetta war z.B. sehr viel und auch das Tartar wäre eher eine Hauptspeise für uns gewesen 🙂
Das einzige was wir schade fanden, dass wir uns ein Zimmer unten/ebenerdig gewünscht haben und nicht bekommen haben, obwohl eins frei war. Und schön wäre wenn man versucht über die Homepage Kontakt aufzunehmen, auch eine Antwort erhält. Wir haben es beide mehrmals erfolglos versucht. Das bitte nur als positive Kritik werten.🌺

Boendet har bara 6 rum så det var väldigt lugnt och skönt. Fantastiskt att bo rätt på stranden. Stora och fina balkonger eller terrasser på nedervåningen. Alla med utsikt över havet. God frukost (mycket mat) med fräsch frukt varje dag. Jätte duktig kock. Vill uppmuntra alla gäster att skänka något till den lokala skolan som ligger 100 meter från hotellet. Vi köpte 2 fulla lådor med skolmaterial (200 böcker, pennor , tvål, pennvässare, sudd mm) lärarna var så tacksamma och vi blev inbjudna in i skolan för att se hur dom hade det.
Ac (borde bytas ut) i alla 3 rummen på övervåningen. vi hade bokat ett familjerum och när vi kom dit fungerade inte ac. Vi kontaktade ägaren och hon ordnade så vi fick 2 dubbelrum istället. Ac fungerade i dom andra rummen vi fick och vi sov bra men alla borde bytas ut till nyare modeller. ganska dyr mat på hotellet en hamburgare för 14 dollar tyckte vi var för dyrt. Men maten vi fick var fantastiskt god.
Fanns inte jätte många andra restauranger i närheten. Hotellet passar nog bäst för par och inte för familjer med barn. Vi stannade i 3 dagar och det var lagom för oss med tre barn. Vi fick lugna och fina dagar på hotellet.

The property is beautiful and well kept. They have everything you need and the staff is incredibly helpful. The food is absolutely delicious.
The roads leading to the resort are not well kept but that’s not a significant issue.

Breakfast was delicious - a lot of food and choices!
The location (for the beach and pool) was incredible, between low tide and high tide (and during high tide) you can easily swim here.
The pool is pretty deep which is a big bonus as we like swimming (but it's a bit small). They were always very friendly with us!
The view is magnific - both from the room and from the pool. We loved staying in the evening and relaxing while watching the ocean and the pool.
It's VERY clean - we saw every time how deep the cleaning was made every day.
There are a lot of choices for food and drinks too which were very good
Great wifi - coming from two people that are very picky with internet and work during travels
This is for the entire area, not just for the hotel, but you'll need transfer to visit most of the things (for example you don't have in this area of the island nightlife, parties etc., we didn't want that because we were on our honeymoon to relax, but if you're coming and want a vibrant nightlife, you should choose the north side of the island)

The hotel is very very nice. The whole facilities are very clean and tasteful. The food is delicious. Eventhough the hotel might be a little more expensive than some hotels in other parts of the island, it is definitely worth it to relax here for a few days.

Aesthetic facilities,super clean and cozy.
The breakfast was exceptional, loved the arrangement and the taste was mind blowing(super fresh and delicious).I highly reccomend booking the floating breakfast experience, it gives Maldives but in Zanzibar loved it you should try it too.
Every food prepared here is super delicious and their presentation is everything.
Friendly,available,attentive and super welcoming staff,always available at your service.
Absolutely nothing,loved my stay here.

Erika and her team are the perfect hosts in this relaxed paradisiaque location. The ground floor rooms are excellent for a family of 4 with children. The pool and restaurant area just sublime, the view can get better. The beach is amazing at both high and low tide. The staff are so kind and friendly, restaurant food is great with a mix of local food and some western dishes at reasonable prices. You can kitesurf from the hotel doorstep and dive at the Mnemba atoll which has the best dive sites in Zanzibar. We have travelled around the world both for leisure and business and for sure this hotel ranks in our top 5 hotels. For discerning guests you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended. We stayed 4 nights, family of 4 (children aged 13 and 15) and wished we had stayed longer.

The whole experience at Imara was definitely memorable. From the welcoming to the check out we appreciated the kindness of the personnel. The hotel is nicely decorated, bringing peaceful and cocooning vibes to every cm of the place.
The food and drinks were tasted and convenient for any kind of diet.
We chose extra activities and do not regret the massage and excursion to Mnemba island as the company was serious and professional.
To finish with what we liked the most: the pool and direct way to the beach!

Location - hotel right on the beach. Beautiful concept with little private "beach" just above the real one.
Delicious breakfast with French creps as special order.
Friendly staff : Innocent, Mao, Ed & Albert ready to help any time with good sense of humor.
Tourists from outside and babies with pampers using the pool.
Carpet arround the bed looks nice but not good for beach location.
Bathroom needs more towel hangers.

The hotel and the facilities were great - it all looks very well looked after and it is very clean. The rooms were always made perfectly and the location next to beach is lovely. The owner Erika was also a very big help prior our stay and answered any questions immediately.
We had high expectations on this place and were really looking forward to our stay. Unfortunately though we were a little disappointed at the beginning of our stay due to some hick-ups, such as very long (almost 40 mins) waiting time for a coffee at breakfast or non existent sun beds at the pool / beach (as other guests occupied them at the beach and pool whilst having own sun beds in front of their rooms).
Generally, it also felt like that there was no privacy at all at the hotel. Every time we left the room (even if just going on our balcony) or came back from the beach one of the staff members showed up. Also the Maasai (that generally do not even live on Zanzibar which makes it all feel a little fake) were always present and we often had the feeling of being watched.
At the end of the day, it is not a cheap place to stay; so when considering the cost; we feel like it was not worth the money.

Location is like a small bubble on Sansibar. Boutique Character with a nice small pool directly at the beach. Tide was better than expected and the beach looks nice during low water phase. Staff is verz professional and go extra miles for in case of special needs. Staff is very kind and happy like the people on Sansibar. Food has good quality. You dont have to think about ice rockets, meet etc.. Was quite good.

The food was exceptional, authentic Italian cuisine as well as local dishes! The views from the restaurant / pool area are breathtaking, we highly recommend to book a sea view room as it comes with a "private" little beach area on your own terrace with sun beds.

I want to say a great thanks to the staff. They did everything and even more to make our stay perfect. The clean girls came only when we were not at the room, cleaned very fast and good, changed the towels every day.
The hotel is very small and privet, all of the reooms have the great ocean view. i would recomend to book the rooms at the 1-st floor, cause you would have the private terrase with the sand and quik road to the ocean.
Good restaraunt with tasty food.
The location. It's far away from the markets, restaraunts etc. It's good for a several days, but then it became boring, so we came back to the Paje Beach.
