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 spent our last week in Zanzibar at this hotel. From the staff to the managers, everyone is extremely helpful and respectful. You truly feel that the customer is highly valued here. The rooms are well cleaned every day. The pool is cleaned several times a day. Every evening, the hotel provides entertainment during dinner. All our wishes were quickly fulfilled. The staff work with a smile and are always ready to help. I would like to highlight four people, namely Latifah, Victor and Baraka. They are top employees and always served us with a big smile! A great asset to the hotel! Additionally, I would like to thank the manager, Mark, for his very professional and helpful approach. My husband had an allergic reaction, and the manager immediately called a doctor. So, I can strongly recommend this hotel if you are looking for peace, luxury, and relaxation. You will surely have a fantastic holiday and enjoy the beautiful view of the blue Indian Ocean!

My experience at Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa was undoubtedly the pinnacle of my Zanzibar hotel experiences, featuring what is unquestionably the best beach on the island. Unlike other hotel beaches visited during our trip, including those in Nungwi, here we could enjoy swimming at any time, regardless of the tide’s whims, which was a true delight. The dining experience at Gold Zanzibar was unparalleled, with each dinner made even more special by planned nightly live music and performances that added an unforgettable ambiance. However, it was the extraordinary staff that truly set this experience apart. Among them, Baraza stood out for his extreme politeness, helpfulness, and attentiveness, embodying the exceptional level of service that makes Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa not just a hotel, but a memorable experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for the ultimate beach getaway in Zanzibar.

I stayed at the hotel for two nights and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, just what I needed after a busy few weeks. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. My room was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. I especially enjoyed the breakfast – fresh, tasty, and with a good variety. I wish I could have stayed longer. Definitely a place I’d recommend and hope to return to in the future!

All five-star hotels in Nungwi

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.
