Situated in Nungwi, 500 metres from Nungwi Beach, Oasis Blu Beach Resort-Adults Only features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service. Rooms have a balcony with a sea view. It was remote but I liked that and it only has 17 rooms so a very quiet place. Exactly what I was looking for. Adults only and a spa on site. But the best feature was the staff. Excellent attention from the staff.

Located in Jambiani, 300 metres from Jambiani Beach, Zanzi Soul Luxury Boutique Hotel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. This 4-star hotel offers a kids' club, room service and free WiFi. Guests can enjoy African and American dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the bar. Loved the energy of the place, it is a tuktuk ride away from Paje which is the part of the island I prefer. The staff was super attentive and helpful. The room itself had the perfect video of the water. I totally recommend this spot, and when I asked for a late check out they agreed right away. There is a restaurant inside the hotel that has fresh food and a great breakfast!

Featuring a shared lounge, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation provides room service, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests. Just an amazing stay. Tina, the host, is incredibly attentive and helpful with everything, so is the staff (special thanks to Edina). Room was massive, clean, with all amenities and nice views to the pool and beach; restaurant opens till late and offers a fair variety of options in the menu. Feels like a resort with everything in it, but the opposite of crowded, which is great. Also, the area is quiet and well located in the island. We will definitely recommend it to any friend that visits Zanzibar.
