I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for an incredible stay at The Mora in December and a second time in January. From the moment I arrived, every detail exceeded my expectations. The rooms are stunning, beautifully designed and immaculately maintained - making it a perfect retreat after a day of activities and enjoying the beach. Speaking of activities - I highly appreciated the wide range of activities available. There was never a dull moment, and the options ensured that there was something for everyone to enjoy. A special highlight for me were the fitness classes (held by Kanaan) and yoga classes (held by Sachin). Exactly what I was looking for when I screened the hotels available on Zanzibar because I love to move. Both instructors were exceptionally well-prepared, and their professionalism and passion created an inviting and energizing atmosphere. Kanaan and Sachin skillfully picked up individual needs and adapted their programs accordingly, which made the sessions enjoyable and impactful. The fitness sessions added so much value to my stay, and I left feeling rejuvenated and inspired at the same time. So if you are looking for being sportive during your stay as well, The Mora is a great fit. Thank you to both of them. The food was nothing short of amazing—each meal was beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The variety and quality made dining a memorable experience every time. While it was excellent the first stay, I was thrilled to see that it improved even further during my second stay in January. Thank you to the attentive service staff as well - and a special thank you to Ayoub, who very attentively took care of providing drinks during my beach stays :-) Last but not least, I also booked a few SPA retreats and I need to say that the massages were outstanding and everything was very clean and comfortable.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely incredible. The property itself is stunning, truly a paradise, and the food was excellent. However, what really stood out was the warmth, attentiveness, and readiness of the entire staff, from reception to housekeeping. I would like to highlight a few team members (Lea, Osmann, Isaac, Ali, Jamal - all the management staff from the WhatsApp group), who were essential in making our stay perfect. Among them, two stood out even more (Ali and Isaac from the restaurants), leaving a special mark on our experience with their smiles, joy, and positive energy that they shared with us every day during our meals. They truly made our time here unforgettable. In addition to the above, in the last day they served us a special Indian meal which was special and delicious! ❤️❤️❤️

We really liked the hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and nicely furnished. Everything was in place and worked perfectly – air conditioning, water, and Wi-Fi.The staff was really helpful - you can see that they care. The food in the restaurant was tasty, with portions just right. The beach is wide and clean – perfect for walks and relaxing. The area is quiet, ideal for unwinding. If you're looking for a nice place to relax, it's definitely worth coming here!

Best hotel in Zanzibar, and we tried other 5star hotels too. The facilities, design, staff, pool, rooms, cocktails, service - 200 percent. All brand new. Very cozy. Especially the staff were amazing. We asked for fresh seafood barbeque, and they organised it for us. Tepanyaki dinner was also great. I wish we could stay longer!

    Gold Zanzibar Beach hotel is a five star hotel. The room was very big and the food was very good. The whole inclusive formula was worth it. It has a good size swimming pool and a nice beach with lounge chairs.
