All of the staff could not do enough for us and their beautiful smiling faces and genuine welcome made us feel very at home. Will definitely be visiting again, Thank you Sea Cliff for making our stay so memorable. Kind regards

We visited Sea clif resort & Spa, Zanzibar in November, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful—perfect if you’re looking to relax away from crowds and noise. At the same time, it’s conveniently located close to town. There are plenty of activities available, including table tennis, pickel ball, tennis, a well-equipped gym, and even horse riding. The sports and activity options are excellent. Our room was outstanding—very quiet, very comfortable, and with a beautiful sea view. We absolutely loved staying there. The food was another highlight. Dinner and breakfast were buffet-style, and we enjoyed both very much. Lunch was à la carte, and the club sandwich was amazing—perfectly prepared. The grilled chicken with French fries was also excellent. The staff were extremely friendly and professional, and they did a fantastic job taking care of us. Everything about our stay felt perfect. Sea cliff resort & Spa is ideal if you’re not looking for a noisy, crowded place. It’s peaceful, elegant, and relaxing. They also organize weddings and conference services, and I highly recommend it as a residential conference venue, especially for international delegates. I will definitely recommend this place and would love to return again.

Faultless holiday. The resort is spotless with a team of dedicated staff pruning, weeding, cleaning and painting to ensure wonderful surroundings. We stayed in a superior king room with a garden view. Sufficient storage for our two week stay and spotless. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and water, tea and coffee were replaced daily. We used the gym daily and it had an array of cardio equipment and free weights as well as machines. All in great order (although two of the three running machines awaiting repair, but this didn’t cause any issues) There are pickle, and tennis courts as well as mini golf which can be used foc and access to horse riding and the golf course at an additional cost. There are several pools all of which are real sun traps. We stayed on a 1/2 board basis and found the quality and variety of food to be outstanding. There were different themes every evening along with local entertainment which provided a great atmosphere. The standout for us however, was the staff. From the moment we arrived they could not have been more attentive. There is a real sense of family with them and from the new recruits to the more experienced they all demonstrated a real desire to ensure that guests have a great experience. Special mention to Abbas, Steve, Laurent, Deborah, Musa, Basil and Mickdad who, along with everyone else at the resort, enabled us to have such a wonderful time. We will definitely be back.
