The place to be in Zanzibar

A nice and comfortable place to stay. Food, bar and service was amazing. Beach was perfect. Beautiful location and very relaxing. Pity about the tide going so far back during low tide. Makes swimming during the late morning and early afternoon very limited. Too many hawkers who follow you around on the beach trying to convince you to do a tour or an activity. Makes beach walks very unpleasant. But the place, bars, restuarants and Friday beach party makes for a wonderful beach getaway.

Très satisfait

Petit endroit intime et plein de charme, j’ai adoré les logements en petites maison indépendantes. Pour un prix très intéressant. Seul bémol: les tarifs au bar ou à la carte, qui sont ceux de l’Europe alors qu’on pourrait s’attendre à un prix local.

We spent an excellent time in Waikiki resort. Staff is very attentive and careful, hotel is very comfortable and well situated and the food at the restaurant very good. The only bad point would be the mattress a little bit too soft for our preference.

10/10 Exceptional

The property is truly stunning! Beach is even better when you see it in person, one of the best beaches I have ever seen. Not to many people at the hotel so nice and peaceful. The room was very cosy and the porch was nice to chill on. The staff are amazing, very friendly with great service. Management checked in with us daily which is a very nice touch. Was welcomed on arrival with cold towel and drink. Half board very good value for money aswell, for the price paid it is very good. Breakfast is small but you can add more at small price, again this is included in price of half board and 3 courses at dinner it really is good value for what you get. For a 3 star hotel i would say service and food is 5 star. If i wanted food or drink they was happy to bring to my terrace. Wasn't expecting entertainment but there was 3 nights when we had a show at dinner so nice surprise for us! I would definately come back and recommend to friends and family.

Great location and reasonably priced. The proximity to the beach is great. There isn't much to do outside of the resort (immediate proximity) so as long as you are ok with the beautiful ocean and beach you should be ok for short stay.

Piccolo resort immerso nella natura gestito da italiani ma dall' anima zanzibarina. E' come essere in un piccolo paradiso... Esperienza molto positiva: camera sempre pulita e in ordine, buon cibo, pace e tranquillità, spiaggia e mare a pochissimi metri...Abbiamo usufruito del transfer da e per l'aeroporto . Ottimo servizio

I really enjoyed my stay at Waikiki resort. Everything from the pick up to the drop off was perfect. I went there as a solo female traveler and from the moment I arrived I felt very taken care of and welcomed. A very special thank you to Baraka in reception who made sure that all my excursions were booked and that everything went perfectly. Traveling in Africa made me nervous but he made sure that I felt safe and stress free. It was truly a paradise that I left behind. I miss it already!

2/10 Poor

Management failed to follow through on return airport service. We emailed prior to arrival, stating we would require airport transfer, drop off and pick up. We clarified with them again at check in and scheduled a departure time. When we checked out the night we asked again if there would be a return organized at 7am for us and the manager confirmed that we had a return scheduled. There was no taxi or shuttle there on time, so we had to hunt one of the staff down (no manager available) and he was able to call us a taxi, 40 minutes after we were supposed to leave. After arrival, the cab driver informed us that the hotel staff said we would pay him, even though we already paid for shuttle service. The cab driver provided his phone and we were able to call the resort. The person on the phone stated we would have to pay an additional $40 but neglected to say how as he was unwilling to card our card, the cab driver said it would only cost $25. This not only meant that there is a huge mark up on their transfer services but they were unwilling to even try to rectify the situation even though we were at the airport almost late for our return flight. The person I spoke to failed to get a manager and HUNG UP on me when I asked to speak to one. This debacle cost us an extra 30 minutes at the airport. The manager only returned our call over 15 minutes later after we had withdrawn more cash and paid the taxi driver. After our conversation the resort emailed us blaming us for the situation

A trop en faire on passe à côté de la simplicité. L accueil exhaustif ou vous explique le béaba comme si c'était la première fois je veniez dans un hôtel pendant 1 heure c est trop surtout après 15h de voyage. Je le savais avant de venir mais l'eau payante a 3 dollars la bouteille je n adhère pas. Au bout de la rue les grossistes vous vendez le pack de 6 pour le même prix. La soirée obligatoire du vendredi je le savais aussi mais après 2h du mat c est l'overdose. L aménagement de la plage est bien le happy jour sert de très bons cocktails, la nourriture en général est tres bonne. Notre chambre la 10 était bien climatisée par contre des amis a la 16 ont eu chaud. Je prendrai une prochaine fois un établissement avec une piscine car en fonction de l'heure des marées la baignade n'est pas tjrs possible. Idéal pour des italophones car tt le monde parle l'italien. Le tour pour l'île mnemba est très bien par contre le safari blue je suis bcp plus mitigé.

Bon séjour Waikiki resort. Hôtel proche de la plage et personnel au petit soin. Le restaurant à spécialité italienne est correcte on peut manger avec vue sur la plage. Le petit dejeuner est correct dommage qu'il y est une restriction par rapport au plat compris dans le petit déjeuner. Les chambres sont correctement équipés et tres propres, les draps sont changés tous les jours. La plage de l'hôtel est magnifique et l'eau y est chaude. Je vous conseille de vous lever pour observer le lever du soleil, une vue à couper le souffle. Mercii tout particulièrement à Baraka un manager au top qui nous a été d'une grande aide et attention. Et merci de l'attention de Flavio qui veille au bien être de ses invités. Je conseille l'hôtel à 100%.

Posizione perfetta, direttamente collegato alla spiaggia, molto particolare durante la bassa marea in quanto è possibile camminare a piedi fino alla barriera corallina... possibilità di fare splendide escursioni grazie all’agenzia locale inserita direttamente nello spazio del resort. La nostra guida Abramo è stata super disponibile e molto organizzata e preparata rendendo tutte le nostre escursioni meravigliose! Grazie anche ai drivers Said e Chimpa che ci hanno scarrozzato a destra e a manca raccontandoci molte cose durante i nostri viaggi... Cibo e pulizia della struttura impeccabili! Infine grazie alla disponibilità di Simone ed alla pazienza di Flavio che hanno saputo sempre venirci incontro anche in situazioni critiche!!! Se dovessimo tornare a Zanzibar non avremo dubbi su dove prenotare! Consigliatissimo a tutti!

Lieu idéal pour le farniente

Hôtel de bon rapport qualité/prix, excellente situation pour la plongée/snorkelling à Mnemba (à 20 minutes de bateaux au départ de la plage de l'hôtel), belle plage de sable blanc avec transat, possibilité de déjeuner/dîner les pieds dans le sable. Propriétaire Italien donc excellentes pizzas !! Ackson, l'un des barmans fait d'excellents cocktails ! Les chambres sont très propres et confortables. De nombreux services sont proposés par l'hôtel (excursions, laverie, taxi...) Points négatifs : il n'y a pas grand chose à faire autour de l'hôtel (1 petit supermarché, 1 seul mais bon restaurant local), le mieux est d'être motorisé pour bouger un peu et le distributeur de billets le plus proche est à Stone Town....
