Maharaja Boutique Hotel Zanzibar

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The food selection was very good, particularly at breakfast and with the à la carte lunch menu. We also really liked the dinner concept, where we could choose from a selected menu each evening, giving us plenty of variety while still feeling special. The staff were super friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout our stay, which really added to the experience. The location was also fantastic if you’re looking for somewhere quiet, peaceful and exclusive. It was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy some time away from the hustle and bustle. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

There were only a couple of minor things that we felt could have been better. We were a little disappointed that some cocktails, such as an Aperol, weren’t included in the all-inclusive price. Rather than being able to pay a small surcharge, we were expected to pay the full price of around $14 for the drink. We think this could have been made a little clearer and more transparent when explaining what was and wasn’t included in the all-inclusive package. It also would have been lovely if the hotel jacuzzi had been heated, as we would definitely have made more use of it during our stay. That said, these were very minor gripes and certainly didn’t spoil the trip or take away from what was otherwise a fantastic stay.

The seaside villas are fantastic. You can see the sea with the tides coming and going directly while you enjoy your morning coffee in bed. And you have a private beach just few meters down your verenda. Also, Cecilia and her team do everything to make your stay a culinary experience in addition.

Cecilia and her team were absolutely fantastic!! The facilities didn't feel like 5 star, but Cecilia and her team made our ENTIRE holiday more than 5 stars!! Cecilia's team continuously go out of their way to make our stay fantastic! This woman deserves a raise!! The food was also wonderful!

The facilities could use a bit of an upgrade, the rooms are slightly outdated and lack certain amenities to be considered 5 star. The air conditioner in our room was not powerful enough to cool down the lounge and bedroom.

We had an amazing week staying in the Luxe villa with private pool at Maharaja. The staff, the food, the location.... Everything was really excellent! No buffet, but every day an other a la carte menu with different options to choose as a starter and main course. We liked the entertainment, and the special Valentine's party with diner and life music around the pool. All staff members did everything they could to make our stay unforgettable and made us feel as a king and a queen in paradise. Especially Cecilia, the manager of the restaurant, who arranged some special wishes we had that were not on the menu. She also organized the romantic diner that my partner surprised me with. And Isah and Maxi, our friends from the bar. But as said, we want to thank the whole staff for their excellent service! :-) We really recommend Maharaja Boutique hotel!
