Nariman, May 2025
Pros (+) I am so glad i made the correct choice by staying at Mambo Resort. The place is amazing, the beach is so clean and beautiful, the view is magical as you can see pretty sunset/sunrise. The rooms are clean and as described in the website pictures. Every single staff member from the housekeeping to the manager and in between are AMAZING and super helpful and friendly. The location is very convenient ...
Cons (-) Just to set your expectations that the wifi is not super speedy but not bad at all and was not an issue at all.

Pros (+) The whole place is brilliant, right on the beach. The food and staff were excellent. Not a lot of steps which is great, we had a friend with us with mobility issues and he was able to manage well.
Cons (-) The laundry service wasn't great. Clothes away for 3 days and multiple requests made for the return. Finally returned the day of checkout still wet and required rewashing.

Pros (+) this is an amazing gem of a resort, staff is amazing, food is amazing, food is made to order, wait is a bit longer but all so worth it. I spend an hour in the kitchen with the chef Nicolas who showed me how a dish was made, and I can tell you, nothing is fresher and more tasteful than food at this resort, would love to stay there again soon, DON'T miss out on this amazing property, GEM of Zanzibar
Cons (-) The beds could be more comfortable as I am a big guy and it got a bit tight with two people on the bed

Pros (+) INCREDIBLE private hotel with new owners who are doing everything possible to cater to your needs. Ana, the manager was exceptional! The resort is in a very quiet part of the island and if you're looking for peace and rest this is the place to be! You have one big pool and one smaller pool and both are great for swimming. The beach is very nice too and when its low tide you can really walk all ove...
Cons (-) Only problem was the restaurant manager who was NOT the nicest person! Luckily he's always on his phone and NOT involved in anything and the team that actually works in the restaurant and especially the cook are incredible!

Pros (+) The service here was amazing, very attentive staff. Very big food and drinks menu which we never got bored of. Little touches like providing mosquito repellent and spraying rooms at night really made the trip even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

Pros (+) We were extremely satisfied with our stay and the services at the hotel. The accommodation in the three-bed Deluxe room was excellent. Cleaning was done every day and the accommodation was beautifully clean. Every evening the maid came to spray insect spray. Breakfast really wide selection. In the restaurant you can have a great lunch or dinner. We were never disappointed with our choice and the f...

Pros (+) That place was my kitesurfing secret spot. Was, because they kicked out the only kite club that was set directly next to the lagoon (it shows up during low tide). Quiet place with 2 swimming pools. Breakfast was OK.
Cons (-) Lots of people smoking cigarettes even in the dining area and management was not reacting on that. They do have excellent place for kiting - the lagoon in front of the hotel - but sadly they kicked out the kite club that was there and the ppl working in the kite club were super friendly and helpful. Really too bad :/

Pros (+) This place has a perfect design. 2 dining areas overlooking a central pool but all surrounded by gorgeous palm trees and overlooking the sea. The breakfast area is set further back whereas the main bar and dining area is close to the beach and has a lovely atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing, every meal we ate was delicious and they have a wide variety. Staff were super friendly and helpfu...
Cons (-) Water pressure was very low in the shower so took ages to shower. I still will come back the place is so lovely. Also mattresses did not agree with my back, but could just be a personal preference.
