    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    The Diamonds Mapenzi Beach is Tanzanian beach living at its best – with bungalows by the sand and a high-end spa.

    The African spa and the pool hidden by palm trees here compete for the title of star attraction at this hotel. Dining spans four restaurants that plate up different cuisines – two of them are on the beachfront. Guest bungalows are just steps from the sand, and the pool terrace is a great spot for sundowners.

    The hotel's in the quiet village of Kiwengwa on the Zanzibari island of Unguja, right on a stretch of white-sand beach. It's an hour's drive west to Stone Town, full of historic architecture, authentic eateries and market stalls selling souvenirs and trinkets.

    While you're away, you'll have access to our 24-hour digital service, and a rep will visit at least once.

    Three wonderful nights
    02 Mar , 2020 susiek533, 293983
    We had a relaxing and fun stay at the the Diamonds Mapenzi. The service was outstanding ! There are daily activities that were fun and kept us cool during the day. We felt taken care of during out stay. The staff in the dining room is wonderful. Specifically the chef Victor went out of his way to make sure we had tasty meals to meet out dietary needs . He came out at every meal to check on us and ask us what we needed. He is a great chef with an eye for detail. The rooms were clean and have a porch. The beach is great , and very inviting to relax or swim. There are unlimited soft drinks , beer, etc at the beach and also by the pool. The only recommendation I would make to the management is to put some fans in the dining area during meal times.
    Beautiful resort

    At the end of Nov 2019, we were 3 couples that visited Zanzibar for our 25th wedding anniversary and stayed at Diamonds Mapenzi. From when we got there, the staff welcomed us and their service was really very good. Everything around the resort was explained as well as the detail around what was inclusive. The rooms were the best. We reserved the beach villas and it was the best thing ever. Right on the beach, with beautiful ocean view in front of you. The rooms were lovely and spacious. The bathroom had a great double shower and never had any issues with hot water etc. The food at the resort was good, well prepared and a good selection. Not a lot of meat, mostly fish and chicken, but still plenty to choose from. Many days we just had lunch at The beach restaurants and that was just as good, but you do have to book in advance. The poolbar was great, adequate drinks on the menu. And it didnt taste like watered down drinks as I have experienced at some “all-inclusive” offerings. The local traders can become a bit of a irritation but resort sorts them out quickly. We went walking along the beach and into the shallow water for kilometers. Used a local guide and learned so much of the local sea life. The rock restaurant was disappointing, extremely expensive and the food was rather bland. I don’t recommend that at all. If you want to do an outing , do a seafari Blue snorkeling trip. Ot was snorkeling was awesome.lunch on one of the islands where much better than The Rock..eat as much as you like crayfish, prawns, all types fish and veg and fruits. I can definitely recommend Diamonds Mpenzi
    Relaxing hotel

    Lovely hotel, good food and nice pool. The animation team who organise activities are particularly great- especially Hassan, Saeed and Masoud. The karaoke and acrobatics were great evening entertainment and the aqua gym was lots of fun. Victor the chef who did our cooking lesson was also very knowledgeable.
    Fantastic hotel and overall experience!

    We stayed here for 10 days and were so pleased about everything, accommodation, staff, food and location. We stayed in a beach bungalow which is highly recommended. We enjoyed excellent food and the staff was so helpful and quick to help out if needed. The purpose of our visit was to get away from home and work and just relax enjoying the sun, beach and the "good life". And we got ot all. We also did a trip to stone town, included in this trip was the activity "stone town by night". In the package was visiting 4 different restaurants/bars. We really appreciated the trip and the selection of restaurants. Very good choices by our guide. The trip was booked at the hotel and our guide was George, great guy and guide! Finally a big thank you to the staff who made our stay so awesome and memorable!
    Christmas at Diamonds
    05 Feb , 2020 Levinia2208, 1722390
    This was the first holiday that my husband I took over Christmas and our main concern was missing out on the festivities and Christmas atmosphere. The staff at Diamonds were not only friendly but wen't above and beyond to create a fantastic experience with the most scrumptious dinner and Santa even made an appearance. The resort is ideal if you want a beach break without being in an over crowded place. Facilities are excellent and cater for all, with daily activities and staff who engage. I would definitely recommend Diamonds if you're travelling to Zanzibar.
