Reviews for The Residence Zanzibar
Good for yogis too
I truly recommend Lukman as yoga teacher! His classes were really good and deep, his knowledge and guidance allow visitors to conduct a regular and precious practice of yoga.

Great Stay!
Everything has been amazing. Food was really great and also the spa service. Shout out to Lukeman’s yoga and pilates classes. Really appreciated the service and the kindness during the workouts!

Most amazing experience with The Residence in Zanzibar.
This was most excellent stay. The residence is fantastic and the experience was heavenly. This was made even more special by Restaurant Manager Rakesh Dherel and Chef Satish. Rakesh was outstanding always taking care of us and our needs. Rakesh and Satish made sure that our experience with food and overall stay was excellent. Rakesh is an amazing person and gave us fantastic wine recommendation especially since he is also a wine connoisseur. Thanks to Rakesh and Satish our stay has been most memorable.

Honeymooners
The rooms are clean and cozy. Service is top notch. Food was great. The hotel ground is beautiful. Edson and Marco are the friendliest people we met in zanzibar. This was the first stop on our honeymoon and it could not have been better. - Cons: Do not book massage appointments there, way too expensive for nothing. The masseuses don’t know what they’re doing.

Excellent
Excellent property and the service of the people is amazing. the only downside is that it is a little bit far from the activities and the beach is not swimmable.
