We stayed at Z2. Beautiful room (penthouse suite!) Complimentary water everyday. Free WIFI which was very solid. The Marigold restaurant was excellent for Indian food and the breakfast was plentiful and enjoyable. The pool was lovely and often had it on our own. The Z hotel is a short walk from Z2 but always has plenty of sunbeds and two further restaurants. Would absolutely stay there again.

Room was always clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, especially Aysher. Onsite restaurants, bar service and gym were all great. Front desk also arranged cabs to and from Stone Town and the airport (roughly 1-1/2 hour, $60 trip). A great spot for a beach/pool relaxing vacation. Hot water for showers was an issue, but perhaps common for the Zanzibar region?

The location is amazing and the food at the Chinammon was delicious; however, I can’t recommend this resort based on the horrible internet service, annoying beach boys trying to sell you stuff on the private beach, and the brief, intermittent power outages throughout the day.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel had absolutely everything I could ask for! My only comment would be to make the distinction between Z and Z2 a bit clearer so travelers know exactly what they’re booking. Otherwise, everything was perfect. The staff were outstanding—friendly, professional, and always eager to help. The private beach with access to the public beach offered the best of both worlds, and the on-site restaurants were amazing with delicious menus. Breakfast was convenient and definitely worth it, though you can also order from a menu if you’d like something different. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. The entire property is truly out of this world. 10/10 highly recommend!

We spent 5 nights here, really nice hotel and the staff where all lovely. Really helpful. The hotel was very clean and secure. Pool was nice just right temp to cool down. Beach was a bit too busy so wouldn't describe it as a private beach. I would definitely stay here again.
