There are much better places to swim in the ocean than the waterfront at the property, but the pool is great!

The staff is so nice, villa is gorgeous, good food, very comfortable stay!

The property was stunning! The privacy amongst the villas was one of the things we enjoyed most about our stay.

No issues— sometimes it was hard to get hot water in the shower but manageable as the weather is always warm.

The unexpected gravel road leading to the spectacular property was nice surprise. My partner and I weren’t sure what to expect but we were graciously greeted by Harry who accommodated us for all our needs during our stay. Him and all the staff were friendly and welcoming so we definitely felt at home. The villas are far larger than we anticipated— ours was gorgeous, clean and very private with an ocean view. I can’t write a review about Saphira without mentioning the food. Chef was fabulous. He came to the table each night to recommend his favourite dishes and even recommended things off the menu he had created for the day. Easy to say my partner and I ate far more than necessary as everything was just that good. We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Africa— thanks for hosting us!

The food

This amazing hotel is the picture perfect of Zanzibar! It's one of those hotel that you drive up to and say "Wow"! I'm so happy that I got to stay here!". Our villa 205 was with a direct view of the sea. The villa was large, nice and comfortable; we got a fantastic swim pool, private beach double shower, a good sized bathroom. The beach fantastic and the sea so fabulous! The food and the service room was good standard, the customer service was great and meticulous, Mr Harry was very professional and always available to help us! This is a paradise place to stay and forget all your troubles.

One very bumpy road to access the property. Food price are Paris / European prices… Maybe a tad overvalued.

Clean, personnel was amazing, food is really good quality. You can ask whatever you want they will do anything they can to have it done. Calm, huge villas and the views are stunning

The rooms are amazing.  everyone working there was excellent.

I would like free shuttle service to and from the airport. Non-alcoholic beverages should be included in all meal packages. Your dessert menu could be more extensive.

The food was well seasoned and plentiful. ALL of the staff were simply amazing. I felt completely pampered and I would definitely return. Lastly, I felt at home.

The place needs more activities and more movements.

Clean. Lots of facilities. Very good and swift service. The nature around the property and the views are amazing. Big thanks to all the hotel staff for their kindness and hospitality. Special thanks to the hotel manager Ahmed, Keith, Harry, Juma Hassan and Ashura. I will visit the hotel again in the near future.

Road to get there is “bumpy”.

Outstanding place with incredible views, exceptional service and fantastic food (Chef Keith Lawrence has transformed the place to an incredible culinary experience). Fantastic place to relax and unwind without the crowds.

Everything was exceptional! All Staff really do their best to make you feel like home. Chef Kieth thank you very much for the amazing food and the great hospitality. Harry & Atif are always there to help with anything we needed. The Villas are huge and a great example of what a 5 stars resort should be like.

The drive from the airport was over 2 hours. The 6km road to the resort was very rough. The TV was not functioning properly.

The blue Lagoon villa was exceptional. The beach was perfect. The weather unfortunately didn't turn out well but the resort made up for it.

The road in is 2 miles and a little bumpy but nothing to worry about.

I never leave reviews but I have to let people know about this place!! It’s easy to find but the road in could be better. Then you arrive and it’s incredible, the resort and villas are 5 star! You see the beach and how close it is and you never want to leave. The amazing staff have become friends, the owner is a top guy and very welcoming. I’m very sad to be leaving but look forward to coming back. Keith the chef put on a wonderful buffet lunch for guests I had joining me who were also blown away by the service. I highly recommend you choose this hotel if you are looking for luxury!

I did not like the bugs. Lots of ants.

Everything about this place was amazing. It was paradise! The staff were exceptional, very attentive and the manager was so accommodating. He made sure to provide us with recommendations to enhance our trip when we left the property and made reservations for a boat to pick us up at the property to swim with the dolphins and snorkel. We were traveling with our children and the staff were able to anticipate every need. The food was delicious and the grounds were beautiful. Everything about this place was spectacular!
