The room amenities could be better, the facilities around the resort could be better.

Honestly the staffs made our stay extra special, all of them were so kind and friendly, the staff at the reception, Robert i think his name, was very kind and made the check in process extra fast, and explained everything in detail to us. Mohamed was also very kind, I would like to thank Salma, at the restaurant, for hosting us in a most special way and being very attentive and kind to us. To be honest all of them were very kind but we couldnt remember all of their names. Nicole, thank you for arranging a room for us for late check out. Thank you Gold Zanzibar for making our trip wonderful.

The restaurant servers could be more proactive. Though nice, they are a bit slow and not always alert to the needs of guests. The same was the case poolside. You can be there for 30 minutes before getting service. Chef Adam was outstanding and went out of his way to meet my special dietary The PR lady tried her very best to make us feel at home. The bed /mattress was perhaps the one thing we didn't like - uneven, not comfortable.The lace could also be cleaner. Replacement of supplies in the room, such as tea bags, was irregular. Please improve your cappuccino.

The Management was very accessible, alert and responsive. The staff were good and courteous overall.

Great food and facilities. Kids loved the pool. Room was good size and extra bed gave us plenty of room for family. Beach was nice for a walk.

My experience at Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa was undoubtedly the pinnacle of my Zanzibar hotel experiences, featuring what is unquestionably the best beach on the island. Unlike other hotel beaches visited during our trip, including those in Nungwi, here we could enjoy swimming at any time, regardless of the tide’s whims, which was a true delight. The dining experience at Gold Zanzibar was unparalleled, with each dinner made even more special by planned nightly live music and performances that added an unforgettable ambiance. However, it was the extraordinary staff that truly set this experience apart. Among them, Baraza stood out for his extreme politeness, helpfulness, and attentiveness, embodying the exceptional level of service that makes Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa not just a hotel, but a memorable experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for the ultimate beach getaway in Zanzibar.

Can’t think of thing other than beers could be a bit colder but then just ask for an ice bucket and the problem is solved!

Absolutely everything. The staff is the kindest people and were so lovely to us and our children. The beach area was private and huge. The pool was refreshing and the loungers were so comfortable! The food in the restaurant was phenomenal - I’ve never had such fresh, variable buffet food. The coffee is delicious. The breakfast had everything you could want. The location is spot on! On the best part of the nicest beach in Zanzibar! Kids club was so fun for my eldest with baking and making pizzas as part of the activities. Honestly, we aren’t usually resort people as they usually feel big and impersonal but this place felt like home! Thank you to all the Gold team!! We’ll miss this place

Dream holidays, very relaxing and beautiful scenery. Locals are very friendly. Food was very good with a lot of choice.

The beach chairs are very far from the ocean. The hotel provides plastic water bottles, and really needs to start using glass bottles or provide reusable water bottles (like metal ones) to the room with water filling stations throughout the hotel, to be more eco-friendly.

The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming and lovely with the kids. We loved the kids club, though small and fully outdoors, it offered nice activities for the kids including evening movie nights. The food selection was great. The beach is by far the most beautiful of Zanzibar, with stunning blue, deep, waters, and no sea urchins. The rooms were pretty and well appointed.

This place is like a paradise. The service attitude and the team spirit of the hotel staff is extraordinary. They read our wishes from our lips. We travel a lot. But this was by far the best 5-Star-Hotel we ever visited. The rooms, the beach, the food, the facilities, the music in the evening: All is very high standard and exclusive.

There was a great variety of food for all tastes at the Kilimanjaro restaurant which was even changing every day! However, not all food is covered (especially salads and fruits in the separate room, but also bread etc.), so it is subject to flies flying around and even crows which was not pleasant and might have led to some stomach issues my husband had. This is something which could definitely be improved.

Great hotel, very spacious and green with high quality facilities and nice decoration. Excellent staff, always very friendly, smiling, ready to help and make our stay unforgettable! They were very accommodating to our requests and they even upgraded us which was a very nice surprise! Our room had a great view, the pool has sea water and it’s always pleasant to swim or lay on the sun beds, the beach is considered one of the best in Zanzibar. The sunbeds have been placed further from the sea so you have the sense of privacy and local sellers do not bother you. Amazing variety of food and nice entertainment shows during the dinner. We would definitely recommend it! :)

Music group is not the best ^^ Cocktail at the bar are very low in alcohol. We had to ask for strong one. Appart from that everything is amazing. Taxi is 125$ if you book by the hotel. 65$ at the airport. 35-50$ on booking.com or via local.

Best beach on the island. No need to go further for the starfish they are just here. All inclusive, food is amazing. Staff is great. Lots of shop on the beach for souvenir and painting. Much cheaper than in Arusha. Perfect for our honeymoon.

Villa was a bit dirty when we arrived but was quickly resolved. Also our beach view was blocked by tables which isn’t what you expect when you pay for the beach villa. This was also resolved and compensated for.

We liked the facilities, the hotel view overall and the food was great. Also highly rated being so close to the beach. The staff were very friendly and very accommodating, always ready to help.

We only had four days there.

Everything, the service, the staff but most of all the food was exceptional. The depth, breadth, quality and sheer variety and extent of the food was extraordinary - we loved the meals particularly the gala night. A perfect hotel.

Everything was gorgeous. Maybe a little overpriced & alcoholic drink options on all inclusive were only okay.

Fantastic hotel. We booked the all inclusive for our honeymoon & it was a great start to our hotel. Food was exceptional and buffet for each meal changed every day. Located on gorgeous beach. Pool & spa were lovely and we got a discount from spa & free à la carte dinner for our honeymoon.

There is a magic line on the beach that once you cross it you are deluged by hustlers selling tours and trinkets. They are very respectful when told no, but it is still a nuisance when you just want to go for a walk on the beach or swim in the ocean rather than the pool.

The food was excellent, the service was the same, the beach was gorgeous, the weather was perfect. The resort is located at the tip of Zanzibar on the white sand beaches. There are less people here and the beach huts are spaciously apart - the neighboring resorts are crowded in comparison. The property is beautiful and the entertainment is good fun. We came here for peace and quiet after a long safari and time in Stonetown and the Zanzibar Gold delivered!

Food selection should be more various. Staff should be more friendly ( Shout out To the Peter the great , was the only one that made us feel comfortable) For a 5 star hotel I would expect more in terms of facilites and confort.

Good property , nice and clean . But if your room faces the road , you will hear everything from the outside.

The internet in the room was not very good and unfortunately despite informing staff on 2 occasions nothing was done about it. It did however work in the communal areas like restaurant, poolside etc.

We stayed at Gold Zanzibar for 3 nights. It is a beautiful resort in an amazing location right on Kendwa beach. The food was incredible and the buffets had so many options. The pool was nice and there was also a spa that had a great deal on some of their treatments. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was lovely, with beautiful balcony views.

There is nothing to complain about and difficult to find anything you don’t like.

This is a fantastic place to stay at if you want to celebrate a anniversary. Fantastic Villas with a perfect beach you just can dream of, the best at Zanzibar, and it is real. Very kind, amazing and helpful personal, top service and fantastic good food. The Chefs and restaurants are world class and could easily have a Michelin star. You really feel that you are taking care of. They make sure you get the best relaxing stay and experience. Even the Manager is showing up and make sure you have the BEST stay. You just don’t want to leave… We will absolute come back.
