Lala Land Lodge has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a terrace and restaurant in Kizimkazi. Featuring a bar, the property is located within less than 1 km of Kizimkazi Dimbani Beach. The accommodation features room service, and luggage storage for guests.

Planning a trip to Zanzibar my wife and I didnt know where to start, we didn’t know someone who visited the island and we didn't want to consider a travel agency’s advice (we had a bad experience before) so we decided to take matter in to our own hands and research our own options. Most of the research was based on reviews- we noticed there was a lot of complaints about internet speeds and salty wash water. We understood that this is not an issue that pertains to a single resort/hotel these are issues that are to be expected if you are in an island in an ocean so we kept an open mind about that. Our plan was to find a place where we can just disconnect from city life and just enjoy nature with all its glory. In our search we ended up finding a well maintained, safe, friendly, heavenly, and ocean front place which was LALA LAND Lodge! Its just amazing how peaceful and quiet LaLa is, all you hear is birds and waves! At night the sky shows all its glory since there is little light pollution on that side of the island. The lodge setup is green, with a wonderful room distribution, besides being established on a nice coral cliff with a tiny staircase to the beach. The service staff are just superstars! Shout out to Hassani and Eva for all the support and kindness! Chef Yuzef with is out of this world h delicious specials, what a darn good chef ! Breakfast fruits are served fresh, really fresh!!! Adding to that the tasty masala tea and local coffee … it was just all so PERFECT! This review wouldn’t be complete if we didn't mention LaLa’s management Starring the Super Host Ben, his beautiful wife Frida, the adorable prince Harris, and the awesome Trae. There are not enough complements to do the Hospitality Ben and Family showed us; in fact they really made us feel like we are home by making sure ALL of our needs were met and in some situations exceeded. I really can’t thank you enough guys!

Situated in Kizimkazi, 700 metres from Kizimkazi Dimbani Beach, Kizikula features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. With a restaurant, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation offers room service, a concierge service and luggage storage for guests.

I enjoyed by stay at Kizikula , I don't think any other resort can compare and I have been to a few! I especially loved the design, intelligent, simple and yet timeless - there was a visual harmony that reverberated throughout the entire location, Kizikula is the place - the food was fresh and well prepared, everything was excellent! The facilities were great, I felt there were several things to do and it was the right mix of interesting places to sit - I haven't seen this intentionality in design anywhere else.

Situated in Kizimkazi, 1 km from Kizimkazi Mkunguni Beach, COCO REEF ECOLODGE features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service.

Lovely lodge. If you want to really get disconnected and away from city life, this is the place! All the huts are within 200ft of the beach and the lodge is isolated and quiet. But an easy walk into the local village of Kizimkazi, or a taxi ride to Jambiani, Paje and other haunts. Hotel owners are gracious and attentive and the staff delightful!

Rooms were very clean and comfortable the whole place is decorated with love - we can recommend Mama Root totally!

Set on its own stretch of white sand beach, The Residence Zanzibar is a 55-minute drive from Zanzibar City. The property boasts a garden and offers free WiFi to its guests. Adults can enjoy a relaxing drink at the Jetty Lounge Bar.

The selection and quality of meals were exceptional. Leaving very early and got our breakfast at 4.30 AM - we appreciated it! The pool was clean, no complaints. The Zumba lecture with Lukman was great - should be announced more, we found the only announcement in the daily plan in our room. We liked the cocktail menu in the beach bar.

    Amazing staff great location and lot of activities to be done at the hotel. Beautiful property as well. Easy access to private beach and great sunset view . It was our anniversary and they organised romantic dinner around the beach which was extraordinary. Food is amazing even for vegetarian or vegan. They have turtle nursery and Masai village experience for free, so don’t have to pay to experience it outside.

    A great location - quiet, right on the beach, and within a large bay. Beautiful views from the shoreline and the garden that surrounds the hotel is very well designed and diligently tended. It provides an eden-like atmosphere. The food was delicious and very well presented by smiling, attentive, and joyous staff. As a very seasoned traveller with high expectations, our stay exceeded them in almost all areas. Zanzibar is on the up, and I would recommend going now before it becomes busy!

    Promise land is in Kizimkazi. The hotel is exceptional and the staff is amazing. The food is delicious but the menu has to be changed because it is the same the last two years. Also sunsets are mesmerizing in this hotel and it has a family ambience. It is beachfront with an exceptional view.

    A hidden gem far from the maddening crowd. Lush, tropical setting with sandy palm-fringed beaches, the lure and lull of the Indian Ocean from sunrise to sunset. The perfect spot to relax and unwind with a book under a tree, poolside or sip a sundowner. Friendly staff. Service with a smile. Fabulous food. Seasonal fruit and freshly pressed juices for breakfast. Delicious, locally sourced seafood lunch and dinner options daily. I would go back in a heartbeat!

    Unfortunately we couldn’t review everything but: - the location is massive. - directly on the beach. - stairs into clear blue water (when high tide). - a small hut with a table and two beds on the beach veranda. - concrete bungalow for a good price - especially if you want peace and quiet. - Aya Beach Hotel is 100 m away where you can take breakfast/lunch/dinner - Minimart 200 m at the roundabout. - Jahazi “bar” 150 m away. - fantastic beach view.
