I spent 3 days at Melita Zanzibar and had a super experience. The staff were incredibly hospitable, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained, which made the stay very comfortable. The main highlights of my stay where: 1. Richard, a member of the Melia team, who went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. His kindness and dedication to providing an amazing service really made our stay special. I was actually sad to say goodbye. 2. The Swahili evening was also amazing; the atmosphere, the culture, the food. It was an unforgettable experience. Overall, Melia Zanzibar exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it.

We stayed 3 nights in this spectacular resort. We showed up with 2 extra family members; but the staff was super accommodating. ( Many thanks to Ms.Andrea and Ms Sheila). We upgraded to the Level, 2 nights and added an extra night which we spend at the main resort. Both facilities were spectacular; the surroundings are well maintained and very naturally kept. The bungalow/rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. All the Restaurants had plenty of food and drink options, ( the Gabi, the Jetty and the hotel main restaurants). All the staff were very professional, helpful and cordial. There was plenty. of entertainment for all age groups. It truly was a relaxing stay. Many thanks to all the unnamed employees who make this place happening

For a five star resort such as melia I was fairly disappointed with a lot of things. For our whole stay the wi fi was horrible and kept cutting off. Found insects in the breakfast muesley. Also found the ac wasn’t working and the door was broken. Overall our stay was not as pleasant as we had expected and can be improved by a lot. The resort rooms can do with upgraded decor and renovation. But other than that people were lovely and service was great along with food.

Our stay at Melia Zanzibar was far too short — much too short. This expansive resort is beautifully situated, with the richness of African nature carefully preserved. The hotel grounds are huge, probably 2 to 3 km along the coast, little buggies are running about the whole time which is super. Although we mostly walked, great exercise and gives you the opportunity to talk to the staff and spot wildlife. In fact on the way to Gabi Beach, we encountered playful monkeys, graceful little dik-diks, and even donkeys, all set against the lush backdrop of exotic gardens. The contrast between the powder-white beaches and the dazzling azure sea is simply breathtaking, the perfect setting for hours of peaceful contemplation. Dining at Melia is a joy in itself. The many restaurants offer a wide variety of delicious cuisines, and each evening is made special with vibrant entertainment, from traditional local rhythms to contemporary music, creating a magical way to end the day. The staff are truly exceptional: warm, attentive, and always ready to help. Whether it’s kitesurfing, jet skiing, a sandbank BBQ, a visit to Stonetown, Salaam cave with rescued sea turtles, swimming with dolphins (which was SPECTACULAR), every experience is flawlessly organized on request. Our heartfelt thanks to Anna the wonderful customer care Manager (un gracias enorme y un abrazo fuerte), and especially to one of her team member, the ever-reliable Prosper : ( ASANTE SANA RAFIKI❤️) And of course a special thank and also to Bruno, Lily, Adam, Hamid, the entire security team — and so many others whose names we can’t list, but who made our stay so unforgettable❤️ As we already mentioned: we’ll definitely be back. With sincere thanks, Dirk & Hilde August 2025 Asante sana. Pole pole, slow down and hakuna matate (no worries) .... just enjoy!
