Meliá Zanzibar

I have never given any hotel 5 stars for every category. This one deserves that and more. This place has staff that go out of their way to make you feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. To be brief in my comments the staff elevated my stay to excellent and deserve to be acknowledged

The most amazing, 5 star, honeymoon stay! We have just returned from Meliá, Zanzibar and what an incredible time we had. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and the staff just cannot do enough for you - everyone is so friendly, welcoming and more than happy to chat to you. One particular waiter, Eli, was a stand out for us - a great guy, super attentive and a good laugh. We really enjoyed the food while we were there. The buffet restaurant has a different theme every night which we loved - BBQ night at the Spice Market restaurant and Swahili night down at Gabi beach were fantastic. The hotel and grounds are very well maintained - the pool area is lovely and the gardens boast beautiful trees, flowers, fruits and wildlife. Gabi beach is a short buggy ride away and is complete with a restaurant, bar, kayaks, loungers, towels and the most amazing views. There are lots of lovely activities at the hotel too, including local village and cave tour, Makuti craft and Swahili lessons. There is also plenty to do on the beautiful island of Zanzibar and nearby. The staff were also very accommodating of excursions, making us a breakfast box to take with us when we had an early start for safari. Overall, I can’t recommend Meliá Zanzibar enough, it really felt like paradise.

best hotel i’ve ever been to. great people. amazing location. i’ll never forget

Sujeet, Bruna, Lisbetty and Ali, we warmly thank you as well your Teams. We will keep an unforgettable memory of our 9 days at the Melia Melia Hotel Resort is an amazing place, all is very clean and set to make your stay amazing. First of all, garden are luxury, pool and private beach great. Second our room was very comfortable and quiet. Third is the food that is delicious and with multiple savors. And fourth and not the least are the employees: they are very smiling, always available and they took care of us at any time.

We have been staying at Melia Zanzibar for our honeymoon, and what can only be described as an extraordinary experience has unfolded from the very first moment of our arrival. This is not merely a hotel; it is a sanctuary of refinement, warmth, and impeccable hospitality. The cleanliness and hygiene standards are exemplary. Every corner of the property is maintained with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting a management culture that values excellence and guest wellbeing above all else. The culinary experience deserves particular commendation. The quality, freshness, and variety of the food are exceptional. There is clear care and caution taken in preparation, presentation, and dietary consideration. Each meal feels thoughtfully curated rather than routinely served. The diversity of options ensures that every palate is satisfied, and the standard remains consistently high. The entertainment and activities team are simply outstanding. They are organised, well-connected, and remarkably attentive. Their coordination and communication within the team are seamless, and their enthusiasm is genuinely infectious. Always smiling, always accommodating, and always professional - they elevate the guest experience far beyond expectation. The resort itself offers a magnificent range of pools and amenities, each providing a distinct atmosphere while maintaining the same standard of luxury and comfort. The shuttle service running every single minute across the expansive grounds is an exceptional logistical touch. Even if one is simply taking a gentle stroll, the staff are graciously willing to offer transport with warmth and kindness - a gesture that speaks volumes about the culture of care embedded within the hotel. What touched us most deeply, however, is the humanity of the staff. They work not out of obligation, but with visible love and passion. Their sincerity cannot be manufactured; it is authentic. I have even improved my Swahili during our stay, and the team’s genuine appreciation for any effort to communicate in their local language made the experience feel even more personal and meaningful. The management team deserves recognition for fostering such a positive and respectful environment. It is evident that the staff are treated with dignity and support, and this directly translates into the exceptional service guests receive. It is rare to witness such harmony between leadership and team members — and it sets Melia Zanzibar apart from many establishments worldwide. To the entire team: thank you, thank you sincerely. You have made our honeymoon unforgettable. Your professionalism, kindness, and dedication do not go unnoticed. We depart not only with beautiful memories, but with deep gratitude. Asanteni sana ndugu wote mliopo hotelini
