All as expected! Very good!

The ambience of the property is nice however I consider it very expensive in comparison to many other resorts I have visited all over the world. Zanzibar is generally expensive as they capitalise on tourists bringing in Dollars.
I couldn't fault the staff as most of them were very nice and friendly.
Electricity was intermittent and inconsistent.
My money was stolen, reported but never found.
In my opinion, the resort should be re-classified as a 3.5 - 4 star at best.

We are from the USA and when we book all inclusive it mean everything. Well at this resort everything wasn’t all included. The alcohol that was included was horrible. I have never been to a resort was they won’t include tequila. If I would’ve known that we would have never booked this resort. We ended up spending so much more money because we could not drink the alcohol they had. Also the all inclusive end at midnight and don’t start back until 10am. One day the bartender stop at 11pm and we ended up having to pay for drinks. The next day we do go tell the front desk about the problem and they said they was going to speak to the bartender but the didn’t refund us our money. Also they told us the was going to do something special for my birthday and they didn’t. We did the floating breakfast and it was amazing, the experience and food was top tier. We also did the dinner on the beach and the food was so cold. I was very disappointed about my stay at Royal Zanzibar

We had a fantastic 7 night stay at the property.
Staff-
The staff were fantastic. The man at the coffee bar ( i cant remember his name) was fantastic. So friendly and welcoming. Gloria, at the main bar, was lovely and enjoyed singing and sharing her local culture with us. Edward went above and beyond in his helpfulness and service. Just to name a few as all of the waiting staff in the main restraunt were fab as were most of the bar staff.
We had a massage with Faith and Asha who were both professional and exceptional in their service.
Rooms
There was a probelm with our room upon arrival however we were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a deluxe suite. It was beautiful and had a fabtastic view of the sea and pool. It was particualrly beautiful to warch the evening sunset and the sky change at night. The bathroom was enormous with a powerful shower, huge batha nd double sink. Plenty of replenished toiletries. The bed was comfortable and plenty of plugs ( British).
Facilities
The pools were enormous with plenty of space to swim/ play. There was a seperate space for water pilo so it didnt disturb anyone.
Plenty of bars with lota of seating - both in the shade and in the sun
Beach
The hotel is right on a beautiful beach which is lovely for a morning walk. There are a lot of people on it later on who are trying to encourage you to go to their shop or take a boat trip with them. The water is clear although there is little to see snorkelling wise; starfish and enenomies.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful! The room had a great view. No complaints! Alcohol was a little watered down.
2.0
The stay at this resort was not bad at all and the facility is incredible with so many pools and an amazing beach. It just wasn’t what I expected considering the high cost. We were limited in what alcoholic drinks we could have and any special requests to staff were denied. We were charged for every little thing even though the room cost 550 USD per night. I wasn’t able to check in early and staff just generally didn’t seem concerned with our well being. The service for drink and food was slow and nobody checks in on you when you’re seated for a while. I don’t think it’s a 5 star resort.

The Royal Zanzibar beach resort was the perfect location to end my Safari vacation. The views are breathtaking and the property is gorgeous! The staff was so nice and helpful throughout our entire stay. They knew me by name and my drink orders by the end of the trip! I would highly recommend staying at the Royal Zanzibar beach resort. I can’t wait to go back!!!!

Amazing staff and hotel services. A MUST visit, and the staff will not disappoint. Very friendly and enthusiastic.
The only disappointment was the road getting into the hotel.
The hotels around the area really need to invest in the road as it’s the main road to access their properties.

It is a nice resort with a friendly staff. Only thing I can complain about is; the bed sheets. They were dirty.

The Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort, I would highly recommend! I love how the staff are so welcoming and helpful! Staying at the resort was very rewarding, it made me feel like I was HOME. I stayed in the ocean suite and the view was breathtaking! All in all If I had to rate the resort on a scale 1-10, it would be 1000. I loved it and I’m coming back in August. The impact Zanzibar has on me, I’m considering moving there! The staff met all my needs, very polite, and welcoming. If Royal is hiring in any positions, I’m all ears 😂
ASANTE SANA! Thank you for the great hospitality! Well done!

Nice and fresh hotel. Superb location at the beach. Very welcoming and polite staff. Though you need to go to the bar to get drinks when laying by the pool as there are not many waiters. If you manage to order by the sunbed it takes some time go get the drinks.
We expected a better selection of snacks and small dishes. It is called an all-inclusive hotel but you still need to pay for some food/drinks which is not so nice. If you wanted snacks at the beach bar or pool bar they only offered popcorn. Ice cream is not included. Food at the buffet was good but pretty much the same every day with some smaller adjusments. The à la carte restaurant by the cliffs offered around ten main dishes and you need to pay for half of them. Not so high quality on the food either.
In overall we are happy with the stay but expected a lot more service and better selection of included food & drinks. Too pricy for what you get.

My fiancée and I came for our honeymoon and we had an amazing stay here.

Firstly the rooms are huge, massive comfy bed, excellent batroom with huge bathand seperate shower. We loved the turn down service and most nights some little food treat would turn up, messages left on bed in flowers or bath run with petals in it. We never knew what to expect, and did giggle when we where greeted with 'Sweat Dreams' instead of 'Sweet Dreams.
Food in restaurants was good, always a great choice, but to be honest the pasta station was probably our favourite. The pasta chef deserves special mention, an Italian guy and pasta was just superb.
Bars always good drinks and good service. It was clear what was in the All-inclusive package and what wasn't.
Staff were superb, so polite, friendly and helpful. Special mention to Tanda, who seemed to be everywhere, often serving us. Just the kindest face and personality.
Pools and other facilities perfect, not sure if hotel had low occupancy, but nowhere was ever crowded, easy to find sunbeds, pools quiet, often you would be the only person in pool. It was all perfect, I cant find any fault.

Both checkin and checkout process are very very slow. The staff at reception is not well trained. The first evening we found 3 coachroaches in our room. The next day we were moved to another room, where you expect everything is perfect, but the fridge was not working (changed in the afternoon). The food offer is very poor both in terms of offering (same plates every day) and taste. The beach/sea is nice but it does make up for the price you pay there. We have traveled a lot on zanzibar over years and this resort is worst I ever visited. The only 5 star thing they have is the price! Just staying in the neighborhood you find much much better alternatives that are ven cheaper. They should consider at least halving the prices given the quality of their offer. Stay away if possible!

1 Beautiful garden and pool with a very good beach view,
2 Unacceptable lack of hot water in the shower for this level of pricing.
3 Average Food quality
4 1If you sleep early, its very noisy due to night activities.
5 This time the "Beach Boys" in front of the hotel was unbearable. Zero peace of mind. ( its not hotel fault )

The staff and and the property itself was great. Right outside of the honeymoon suite, it wasn't a quiet oasis as I thought. It was filled with constant loud noise from all the beach vendors trying to sell stuff or blasting loud music throughout the whole day. Also, wish there was a hot jet tub and more restaurant options on property. The Cliff was only open for lunch.

From the spectacular reception to the last day goodbye the facilities and service were ace. Special thanks to Haji at reception, Lightness in food and Mathias from Maasai. We loved the room, the beach and the infinity pool at sunset. We will be back. Well done royal

Beautiful resort! Not many people during covid time so it felt like you had the place to yourself. Sadly only one of the two restaurants was open because so few people were there. It was understandable though. The staff were so friendly and kind! They have security close to the beach to keep away any people trying to sell you stuff so it’s nice you don’t have to deal with it.

Hotell oli kena ja hoolitsetud, eriti tore oli elada ilusa rõdu ja merevaatega toas kus oli hea vaadata rannasolevate kaupmeeste , kalameeste ja turvameeste masaide igapäevaelu.
Suureks probleemiks oli kokkupressitud rannatoolide ala , kus Venemaa turistide pideva lärmakuse tõttu oli võimatu lõõgastuda.
Igal esmaspäeval toimunud õhtusöök rannal oli omaette vaatamisväärsus ja merevesi ujumiseks väga hea.

Did not meet our expectation and was definitely not 5 star hotel.
One of the swimming pools was empty and out of service, the quality of all inclusive food and drinks were poor. It was pot luck whether the tables in the restaurant were cleaned and adequately laid, we had to ask
for cutlery, napkins etc. Many of the restaurant staff were trainees and had very little leadership/instruction from more senior colleagues.
We requested a hotel transfer to the airport and were initially quoted 80USD, the next day when we actually booked we were asked for 95USD, we questioned the difference and were told that this was because it was a luxury car that belonged to the hotel, we duly paid this amount but the following day we were collected by a private car, not in good condition,
almost ran out of fuel twice on the way to the airport. This was not a hotel car so we were grossly overcharged. A private car would have cost us 40-50 USD.
We have stayed in other 5 star hotels
In this location and sadly the Royal Zanzibar is not up to their standard.
I would rate this hotel
At 4 star.

Absolutely stunning property. When the gates open, you truly feel royal. Everything is very well maintained, and all staff members — from receptionists, gardeners, housekeeping, beach boys — were so kind and cheerful. The pools were amazing! It seems like most of the people hang out at the infinity pool and beach area, which left a lot of the other pools open. All of the food at the restaurant was delicious — they had dozens of options suited for any preference.
