Loved it!

If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway from it all type of location...this is it...loved the place. Would be great for couples....we came as a family and it was still great

Great stay, family friendly

The place was great to stay at. The food was good, and the service was very good. the room was not air conditioned and was very hot. The windows did not have fly screens so we weren't able to leave them open which would have helped. The beds did have mosquito nets, but again we couldn't leave the room windows open.

Amazing staff, great food. Our bungalow room wasn’t ready from night one due to maintenance however the alternative room was okay. We were surprised by a lovely massage and complimentary romantic dinner which definitely made up for it. Good times, good people. Hakuna Matata!

Great stay at Indigo - classy spot in the East….

Lovely boutique hotel in the beach - great pool - fantastic friendly attentive staff. Me and my son stayed in an economy room garden view - all good - comfy bed - mosquito net - even turndown service before bed - nice touch. Beach is fantastic - can hire local boat out to reef for nice snorkelling - walk 30 - 40 min on beach into Paje kitesurfing central and restaurants, drinking spots abound. There are some other hotels nearby on beach slightly north - can walk to for dinner - but we advise ensure walking back in the light. We wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thx

A very lovely hotel

A wonderful few days spent in a lovely hotel, staff so warm and friendly. Service was good. A pleasant breakfast buffet, limited menu's for lunch and dinner. Beds were comfortable, the fans running a must as so little breeze made it to the room. No AC. Came in better than anticipated

No A/C & Exterior Toilet Under the Stars!

Unfortunately we could not spend a night here. A very nice spot; Scenic, quiet, clean and peaceful, however there is no A/C in super hot and humid Zanzibar! The toilet is located in an adjoining indoor/outdoor area with no roof/ceiling. This is an important factor to let people know. My child told me they'd not go to the bathroom at night. When we started debating what time to stop the drinks, we decided it was not worth the stay. There was also a gap between our bedroom and the bathroom area (that has no roof) so our room was full of mosquitoes! No A/C, you've got to keep the windows open for the breeze...They did have mosquito nets, but they had holes. They tried to tie them up but...Pool was also greenish. Sadly, we could not spend the night. The staff was lovely. A shame because the potential is there.

Nice big house, but toilet has no roof, difficult if raining. Nice long white beach but be careful of glass! Nice shells. Good food in the restaurant

Hent okay hotel

Vores værelse var lidt slidt og kunne godt trænge til en kærlig hånd. Hotellet super hyggeligt og personalet fantastiske. Stranden flyder med plastik og andet affald. Virkelig en skam. Alle virker desværre ligeglade med affalds problemet.
Beate, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Super bien situé avec une belle vue sur la mer et nous avons adoré l’architecture du bungalow avec ses ouvertures pour le passage d’air ainsi que la salle de bain ouverte façon traditionnelle. Le staff est adorable. Le petit déjeuner doit être amélioré . Les beach boys sur la plage sont souvent en peu insistants et ils peuvent te suivre jusqu’à la mer pour vendre leur services qui sont apriori plus chers. Rester en calme sur le sun bed sans être dérangé pourrait être un pari difficile ...

Nice pool and service minded staff

A very nice and quiet hotel and area. The beach is just near by and very beautiful. The rooms should be freshed up a little bit, especially the bathroom (and the bad AC) but otherwise a very nice resident and the pool area was amazing and so was the staff and their service.

Honeymoon stay at Indigo

Indigo Beach Hotel was an absolute paradise. The hotel (or it should be called a resort) was amazingly clean and well kept up. The food was absolutely delicious from breakfast, lunch and dinner and the service and hospitality was the best I’ve experience in my last 3 years of global travel. We stayed in one of the beach front villas which felt like being right on the sand in front of the water. The villa was very clean, open and airy, with windows and doors you can open to provide an amazing beach experience. During the day we chose from a number of things to do which included, laying on the beach chairs in front of our villa, going to the pool, walked the beach tie Paje (45 min walk), rented a mo-ped ($25 all day) to cruise up to Rock Restaurant and took a dala dalal (2,000 shilling / per person) to Stone Town for the day. On our last night, they provided a complimentary private honeymoon dinner which was absolutely delicious and the decorations were beautiful. What an amazing stay at Indigo, I would defiantly stay there again! Thank you to the staff for the great food, cleanliness of the property and accommodation and for the hotel Masai for helping us get a cab at 4:30am to the airport after our first cab never showed.

Un petit hôtel paradisiaque

Cet hôtel est un vrai petit nid d'amour. Situé dans un village de pêcheurs, il offre une proximité avec les habitants. L'hôtel est tout simplement magnifique et on passe tout le temps du séjour les pieds dans le sable. Les jardiniers sont aux petits soins, les serveuses et serveurs sont à vos petits soins à tout moment de la journée, les dames du ménage font de la chambre un vrai petit nid (même 2 fois par jour). Maëlle, la gérante est extrêmement accueillante. D'ailleurs, de accueils personnalisés comme ceux-là c'est du jamais vu. La nourriture du restaurant est délicieuse, les cocktails de fruits et les thés glacés aux épices sont succulents. Les petites attentions telles que les petites bouteilles d'eau quotidiennes sont vraiment très appréciables. C'est un hôtel à taille humaine qui allie tradition et modernité pour le bien-être des vacanciers qui cherchent un séjour au calme et dans le respect de l'environnement. Cet hôtel est un pur écrin de bonheur !

Purtroppo non è andata come pensavo. Struttura non uguale alla pubblicazione su le offerte. Popolo e di conseguenza anche LE strutture condizionate dalla corruzione della vita in quel luogo. Riguardo la direttrice francese spezzo una lancia a suo favore,pur essendo consapevole si è dimostrata molto sensibile e rispettosa. Luogo bellissimo ma con tanta realtà cruda, realtà che dimostra che il loro stato non fa' niente per la loro popolazione e la polizia è in cerca di continuo di rubarti soldi in qualsiasi modo .

Paradise Beach

Se cercate un delizioso Resort dove rilassarsi l'Indigo Beach è il posto perfetto per voi! Fantastica struttura situata su una delle più belle spiagge di Zanzibar, l'Indigo Beach Resort è il luogo ideale per trascorrere delle vacanze tranquille e indimenticabili. Abbiamo soggiornato presso questa struttura per 10 notti, l'accoglienza e il calore di tutto il personale è decisamente ottimo. Nonostante avessimo prenotato una stanza nella Garden House, abbiamo ricevuto un upgrade gratuito e ci è stata assegnata una Villetta vista mare. Assolutamente fantastico aprire la porta della vostra abitazione e vedere l'oceano. Bwejuu inoltre è un villaggio delizioso, con la tipica spiaggia bianca. I Masai ci hanno aiutato con i bagagli sia all'arrivo che alla partenza (alle 2 di notte) e siamo stati seguiti e aiutati per le escursioni e i taxi durante tutto il nostro soggiorno. Cibo ottimo. Pulizia impeccabile, le ragazze vengono a fare la camera ben due volte al giorno. Soggiorno da favola. Un caloroso GRAZIE a tutto lo staff che ha contribuito a rendere la nostra vacanza indimenticabile.

Schön aber zu ruhig

Wir waren acht Tage im Indigo Beach. Für uns vier Tage zu lang. Es ist ansich eine sehr schöne Anlage mit einem schönen Essensbereich und Pool. Leider ist es dort viel zu ruhig. Wir dachten, dass wir wenigstens am Strand ein paar Restaurants oder Bars finden würden aber es gab nichts weit und breit. Die Managerin sagte uns, dass 10 Minuten in eine Richtung etwas kommen würde aber wenn man die Anlage verlässt, wird man sofort von den Beach Boys belagert die einem etwas verkaufen wollen und die lassen sich auch nicht abwimmeln. Man hat keine ruhige Minute auch nicht wenn man im Meer baden geht und anschließend wieder zurück will. Dann warten schon die Kinder die Süßigkeiten oder Stifte haben wollen. Auf Dauer es das ganz schön anstrengend. Man kann für ein paar Dollar mit dem Taxi nach Paje fahren und der Fahrer holt einen auch wieder ab. Dort ist etwas mehr los und man kann z.B. auch Kite Surfen gehen. Ebenso kann man vom Resort aus verschiedene Ausflüge machen die aber nicht so günstig sind. Zu den Zimmern - wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Gartenblick oben. Diese Zimmer sind sehr klein und man hat gar keinen Platz für die Koffer. Die Zimmer mit Gartenblick unten sind viel geräumiger weil es zwei Zimmer sind für den gleichen Preis. Das war natürlich schon etwas deprimierend. Alles in allem war es aber nicht schlecht, das Essen war gut und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Einziges richtiges Problem war, dass es nirgends Klimaanlagen gab, nur den Ventilator und das hält man kaum aus.
