Amazing stay. Very private and luxury hotel, probably the best food in Paje. Excellent staff from cleaners to restauraunt management. Proper Zanzibar vibes with Patrick(one of the staff) always good mood and perfect attitude. Everything I experienced during my stay in Samawa was top notch. Also perfect for athletes as hotel offers ice bath, good gym and various healthy foods, smoothies and very very good breakfast.

    Wonderful Stay at The Loop Hotel in Zanzibar! We had the great pleasure of spending our vacation at The Loop Hotel, and we are absolutely thrilled! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and this sense of hospitality and kindness stayed with us throughout our entire stay. The team at The Loop is simply exceptional – incredibly friendly, attentive, and always eager to fulfill every wish. The service is outstanding, truly on a level we have rarely experienced. The rooms are a dream: very clean, stylish, and decorated with great attention to detail. You can tell that comfort and creating a special atmosphere were top priorities, making the stay truly unforgettable. We felt completely at ease from the first to the last day and were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. The Loop is a place where you feel right at home – only with the breathtaking charm of Zanzibar. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for the perfect combination of relaxation, excellent service, and warm hospitality. Thank you for this wonderful vacation – we will definitely be back! Best regards, Julia and Jens

    The Residence was AMAAZZZING. From the rooms that each have a private pool to the staff who were EXTRA friendly. We enjoyed riding the bikes around the property. The food was good and Runi served us tasty cocktails at the beach bar. We visited for my Fiancé’s birthday and on his birthday they decorated the bed and gave us a complimentary cake with a sparkler and all. Shout out to Emmanuel and Yunsi* for the decorations. We also visited the spa and had a relaxing massage and they were able to accommodate us last minute. We also enjoyed riding the jet skis on the water. In the afternoons, they offer complimentary ice cream which was something we looked forward to daily. We also had some issues with our flight and the guys at the reception were gracious enough to lend us their phone to try and sort things out. Honestly this resort is worth every penny and we can’t wait to get back.

    As the name implies "dream" place. More than a hotel! felt like visiting family. Not our first time to stay at Zanzibar Dream Lodge, and definitely not the last! Kassim and staff always had time for a good chat and were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Helping with all needs and trips to the must see/do places and the hidden gems in Zanzibar. Our room was nice and clean, and enjoyed a break in a cool room after long, warm day. And also liked the beautiful outside areas. Zanzibar Dream Lodge is a very nice, chill, quiet and relaxing place. Attended a swahili food course. Fun, cosy and gave a further understanding of the Zanzibari-culture. Otherwise enjoyed amazing food from their restaurant.

    If you have only stayed at Sheraton, Marriott, Ritz, King George or similar hotels - this is not your place. But if you are looking for clean beaches, clear sea, delicious food, peace, close contact with nature, friendly and courteous staff - this is it. There are many bars and small restaurants along the coast that offer a variety of food. In addition, in the town (of course African) you can buy products that are very fresh, and the people are friendly. Here you can buy handmade jewelry and souvenirs from the local population and the Masai.

    This is not a touristy location... it is off the beaten track... a village, by the sea, with an increasing number of resorts being added. I hope it does not lose its charm to the crowds. This is a quiet, special place.

    Just up the beach from Paje town, a little quieter but thats what was nice. Wandered to different restaurants along the beach for lunch and dinner. Limited during off season but enough open. We came via Dar Es Salaam airport and ferry. If you can't get an e-visa before arrival, plan 2hrs to exit the airport. We missed our booked ferry and had to pay again for the last ferry on a different company. Used Zanzibar Quest to book the ferry and transport with exemplary service and support via whatsapp and email. The new travel insurance requirement $50p/p on top of the $50p/p visa fee is a scam that mars the experience. The amount of times we had to show our passport and visa / travel insurance was reminiscent of the cold war. Inefficient and overboard. So if you can fly direct to Zanzibar and use e-visa or have patience and a loose schedule. The drive to the Page beach area took about 1 ½ hrs with the first ⅓ taking ¾ of the time with a typical african road experience. Get a good driver. Driving licenses are issued by testing payment of fee. The driver booked by Zanzibar Quest was excellent. Great beach, wind was consistent during the afternoon to either kite or cool down. Bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Not a fan of the immigration process or the fees.
