Natural landscape, Sunrise/Sunset in Melia Zanzibar
Location - beautiful white sandy beach. Wear booties as there is a lot of sea urchins if you venture far out to sea. Restaurants- staff were accommodating, friendly and polite. Make sure to carry your cellphone as you need to use their app in order to order. Theme nights were indulgent and enjoyable. Make sure to check the menus each night as the restaurants change up the offerings. Staff- Special mention to the ffg people:- Daudi (the boss) Goodluck (mocktails), Cyprian (delicious omelettes), Ramadhan (pasta master), Zawadi (mamma misses you), Fabian (concerning), Neema (always welcoming), Khamis (teaching us Bao Game- we're addicted), Rwiji (brand master), Josephine (cleaned our room), Hasan, Halfan, Ramla, Ziada, Rahima and Cecilia. Facilities- beautifully maintained grounds, swimming pool etc Transport- they had a cart that took you all around the resort.

Absolutely stunning - authentic and built to suit the natural environment with a lot of focus on sustainability and ethical practice. It is a vast campus that can be navigated on foot and also by buggy. The staff were absolutely incredible. They made me feel like I was family and that I had always been a part of them. They made my birthday and engagement celebrations absolutely perfect. I would like to particularly thank Daniele the Chef at The Jetty, Paul - chief of staff, Mary - housekeeping with the best towel and decorative art, Omar, Magdalena, Prosper, Witness, Valeria, Farida, Hamid, Damila (incredible massage), Rashid (great driver who took us to see the turtle sanctuary), Lilian and Hamisi. My fiancée and I can’t wait to return and are recommending so many others to go.

We arrived to Melia from Paje (from small boutique hotel) and we were overwhelmed with customer service level and location of the hotel. Super safe if you are coming with small kids and just want to relax - great food, beautiful infinity pool with kids section, great beach (the ride to the beach is fun). Staff is super friendly with awesome energy. Every dinner there was performance that we enjoyed, kids loved cartoons under stars outdoor. Tasty cocktails and lot's of activities and areas to walk around to keep kids busy. The family room we stayed in was huge with nice garden view and massive bathroom. In general this hotel made our holidays, big thanks to all the STAFF - you guys are awesome!!! Hakuna Matata :)

The Beach, Friendly Staff. Melia Zanzibar is a beautiful resort, however, for the price charged rooms needs to be of a better standard. We have also requested for an airport pickup, which was confirmed bu the hotel. When we arrived no driver was waiting for us in the airport. hotel number wasn’t working!
