    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort is all about sprawling outdoor pools and fine-dining on the beach, making it a great choice for loved-up couples.

    Four outdoor pools twist their way through this resort complex. The infinity pool overlooks the Indian Ocean, with luxury daybeds and a swim-up bar. There's a fitness centre for active guests, and sports activities are held on the sand. Couples looking for romantic dining can reserve a private table* on the beach.

    The resort's right on the beach in Nungwi – a fishing village at the northern end of Zanzibar. Aquatic excursions leave from points along the shore, so guests can go for a snorkel, try out scuba diving or embark on a dolphin-watching boat trip.

    While you're away, you'll have access to our 24-hour digital service, with a virtual rep.

    Loved Royal Zanzibar
    28 Mar , 2020 ErikaSelvon, 60763
    I spent five blissful days at the Royal Zanzibar last year and am sorry I've taken so long to post my review. I loved my time there and am longing to return. The location is pure paradise, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. I fully enjoyed the thrice-daily buffets and the endless swimming pools (because there are so many, most are wide open). The staff were all very friendly. Extra thanks to Rukia for the special attention, which truly enhanced my all-too-brief stay.
    Great hotel, with some fine tuning required

    The resort is extremely well made and the rooms are totally comfortable. The hospitality is on point and the staff is always greeting you with big smiles on their faces. I was here with my wife and overall it was an awesome resort to stay at. They definitely have the best beach access. And the best pools. Large pools and in Abundance! Few negative points I noticed - Multiple waiters coming asking for drinks order when the order was already placed. Once during our breakfast, the egg station had no onion. I inquired with the chef for scrambled eggs and the chef confirmed no onions were available. It was disappointing that he Did not initiate sending someone to kitchen to get chopped onions. Buffet timing was 9:30. By 9 things started running out. And they did not replenish which is fine. I understand. What I don't get is that the staff was coming in and getting food on plates and some even packing food to take away. Not sure if this is hotel policy. Other than this it was a great vacation!
    Amazing Holiday

    My 1 week stay was everything I hoped for in Zanzibar. Hot tropical sun, great hotel and facilities. The friendly staff with their nothing is too much trouble attitude made my holiday. Included in the All-inclusive was the dinner on the beach and by the pool area which was welcome surprise to eat alfresco. I have to mention The best fresh fruit section I have ever seen in a buffet and plenty of local dishes to taste what the island offers.
    Absolutely poor stay
    16 Feb , 2020 Vinesh R, 319720
    Choose this a hotel for 4 night stay for the valentine's weekend. I was prepared to pay a little extra expecting better quality. Even chose the all inclusive option but this was a absolute mistake. Poor quality everything from breakfast to lunch to dinner to drinks. The most ridiculous things was this hotel bars seemed to run out different things each day. Some days there was no snacks. Some days they only had one option beers available as the others had run. Other days some sodas where out. Cocktails are poorly made with no attention to detail and overused and scratched glasses. Buffet was of poor quality. Breakfast identical offerings everyday and most pots empty half the time. Pool chairs was always a problem as people leave the towels early in the morning to book the seat and dont use the entire leaving to have a poor out of way seating. This hotel lack of management attention in all facets. I would rate this a 2 star hotel in terms of the experience. There much better options in the area at a cheaper price.
