Reviews for The Residence Zanzibar

A memorable holiday experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 19 hours ago

The place is too far from city centre and other tourist attractions like Nungwi. Visit only if you are going to spend your time around Kizimkazi.

Zanzibar paradise

What a sensational moment spent on the hands of the residence Zanzibar, good services, friendly people and everything was great. Hopefully, they exceed the needs and expectations of the customers as they promote long term loyalty. I owe them another moment

A luxury hideout!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

We stayed at The Residence for 6 nights and had a fantastic experience. The food served at the hotel is of top Michelin star quality served by a fantastic team. The facilities were great; on site table tennis, pool, outdoor tennis and indoor gym that was very well equipped. The rooms were very spacious, and the housekeeping staff ensured our stay was very comfortable. We even had our personal pool cleaned several times during our stay. Thank you for making our week away from the hustle and bustle of working life a very relaxing break. We truly feel relaxed now! Team members that really stood our for us: Nitin, Nicho, Jumma, Farida, Raihma and the housekeeping staff who decorated our room on arrival (can't remember their names). For nature lovers, there is an abundance of wildlife in the resort! The monkeys are too cute and will have you entertained for hours!

Mum and daughter holiday in tranquil location

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

I was travelling with my 82-year-old mum and the staff were amazing in looking after us. The villas are luxurious, contemporary and spacious. There are lots of friendly monkeys too! The resort has golf carts and bikes so you can find your way around. The food is delicious. Spa treatments great. The hotel is very very quiet so if you're looking for a romantic break it's perfect. But it's a 1.5 hr drive from airport and the hustle and bustle of Zanzibar. Special mentions to Nitin, Johanes, Helen, Nikodemis, Clement, Edson, Josephine (and so many other fantastic staff) for going out of their way to make our stay special.

Amazing resort

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We had a great time at The Residence Hotel. The view is magnificent, the villas are very spacious and beautiful, and include a private pool, a king size bed and a hottub. The crew is very pleasant, and the food was tasty. For a couple, it was a truly wonderful vacation.
