The location was perfect with the beautiful views from each angle. The breakfast and other meals were great! The serene atmosphere with plenty of space and tranquility whether on the beach, which btw had the whitest and softest sand, by the pool or in the lounge area - it was just what we needed! And the staff was on point with taking care of us and always making sure we had what we needed - best service I think we’ve ever experienced at a hotel. They gave it a very cozy homey feel :)

The units at the hotel are fitted with a seating area. Some units at Seasons Lodge Zanzibar also provide guests with a balcony. All rooms include a wardrobe. Rooms are complete with a private bathroom equipped with free toiletries.

Incredible property. The territory is huuuge. You can literary rent a bike for free with them to ride around and into the village. The premises are very private, full of lush greenery and lovely decor elements like a proper treehouse to chill. There's a nice pool, loads of sunbeds in different configurations to chill, SUP, and a kayak to take for free as a guest. The hotel restaurant cooks very delicious local and European-styled food. We also like the cocktails and vines are available by the glass. The bungalow itself was the biggest thrill. It's big, private, and with a panoramic view of the ocean. You have a private beach area (without descent to the water though) and an amazing bathtub in front of a panoramic window to relax. The bed was super comfy and there were so many small touches and thoughtful gestures that made staying in this hotel one of the highlights of our vacation. Incredible value for money and a very soulful place!

Looking for a hotel with pools?

‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.

    Set in a beautiful location right on the beach. A lovely relaxing place to stay. We were lucky enough to have a room with its own private swimming pool and would thoroughly recommend one of these rooms as it a lovely shaded semi private place to relax. The meals are lovely and the staff very friendly and helpful. A range of trips can be organised by the hotel. The beach is a wonderful place to walk and swim. The tide goes out a long way to provide fantastic walks on the sand and pools. It is about an hour from Stone town by taxi.

    A beautiful resort with clean and large room. It has beach access, swimming pool and restaurant which is very convenient. I stayed 2 full afternoons in the resort and felt perfectly contented and relax. The staff were very accommodating and approachable, they even packed me a breakfast box when i requested as i have to leave early for a tour. And as a female solo traveller, i felt very safe here.

    1. Staff were very friendly, especially Patrick, Aisha and the Chef. Nothing was too much for them, they exceeded our expectations, made us feel very welcomed and always tried to accommodate us in the best way possible. 2. The food was delicious, we are vegetarians and as soon as they found that out, they made us feel at home. 3. The rooms were clean and comfortable. 4. The grounds looked beautiful, very nice clean swimming pool and outdoor facilities e.g hammock.
