Total Paradise. Loved the cozy cottage and the beautiful ocean view from our terrace and the lush foliage and colorful flowers….the staff was amazing and Jabar saw to our every comfort. The breakfasts were amazing loved the tropical fruits and the other offerings. The carrot ginger soup made to order was superb. So incredibly peaceful there. I can’t wait to return!

Everything went well from the moment my sister and I arrived. Staff at the hotel got in touch and despite our late night arrival, the chef still made us a delicious meal. The staff go far and beyond. I visit Zanzibar every other month and always stay at the Royal Cliff. 10/10

    The location is ideal, right in the centre of Stone town, on the beach with a beautiful view of the sunset. One of the few hotels in Stone town with a pool (3 pools to be precise), one of which overlooks the beach. The breakfast was tasty, with a good selection. Rooms were spacious and clean, with good air conditioning.

    The rooms and the entire hotel are so beautifully furnished and decorated, not to mention the most pretty bathrooms I've ever seen! The view from the balconies facing the Ocean, the fantastic pool at the very center of the hotel, the hotel's location right on the beach while at the same time with a walking distance to everything you wish to reach in Stonetown. The breakfast was excellent with a broad variety of choices for all tastes, and the staff members are professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back!
