"Nice resort… very quiet, staff are very laid back and slow!! The resort is a little tired and is in need of some TLC. Would not say this is 5star. The dirt track leading up to it….. well OMG it’s like off roading. "
"The Residence was the perfect spot to celebrate my 40th birthday. The deluxe garden view with the private pool was exact atmosphere my husband and I were looking for. The hotel is extremely clean and they even offer room cleanings twice a day. And we also loved the different themed dinner options each night along side with a live band performance! The staff make you feel at home and apart of the family. Nico always greeted us with a warm smile and helped us capture precious moments. The location is a little far from main attractions but I promise it’s worth it. Thank you to all the staff that made our visit to Zanzibar so special!♥️"
"Great staff, very attentive and helpful allowed us an early and late checkout. Helpful all the way, the property was amazing the food was great. Can’t fault them, if I was to return to Zanzibar this place is a must for us "
"To call this hotel a 4 star hotel is a disgrace to actual 4 star hotels; it is maybe 3 stars in its best days, more realistically 2 stars. The amenities themselves are dated, and there is no dependable electric. I had to have the maintenance team come to my room 3+ times to reset the electric for the AC, water heater, etc, before finally just giving up and surrendering to the heat. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere in Paje, there are much nicer properties to choose from.
I’m convinced the other reviews on here are fake because they in no way reflect my experience there. "
