The Palms Zanzibar

A truly luxurious stay in beautifully designed villas. The beach is very clean, it’s possible to swim, and the facilities of the neighboring larger resorts (like gym and tennis court) can be used. The private cabana is a nice touch, as was the evening entertainment bands.

The food was good, but not outstanding, and there wasn’t much local choice in the set menus. I found it to be too Western - if I wanted a caprese salad, I’d travel to Italy, not Zanzibar.

Top marks across the board! Stayed here for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. The staff were kind and helpful, and the food was incredible. Seating locations for lunch and dinner are rotated throughout the week so meal service never feels stale. As part of the stay we could rent kayaks and beach bicycles for free from the sister property. The Palms offer reef shoes for free for a low tide reef walk; take advantage and do it. We'll be recommending this property to our friends, and could see ourselves returning for a future stay.

There were no downsides to our stay! Make sure to bring or purchase insect repellent for the evening mosquitoes.

Perfekter Service, tolle Menschen, hervorragendes Essen, tolle Lage und sehr schoene Villen. Es ist einfach perfekt zum Entspannen und wunderbar romantisch

Everything, staff were so friendly and anticipated everything you need even remembering favourite drinks and assisting with smooth check out and in. Even laying out breakfast early when you had trips. Food was exceptional and so was cocktails. Bungalows were beautiful with private cabana’s all room fittings were highest quality. Great pillows and mattress.

Nothing.
