Friendly and courteous staff, facility is right by the beach and well kept clean rooms

My wife and I found a little bit of paradise at Royal Mandarin Resort! Very very nice property. We booked this room for five nights following our Serengeti Safari in the hope of some beach relaxation. We got that and so much more!

Beautiful property with the best staff on the planet. Service was truly exceptional.

We recently stayed here and picked the hotel because of a couple of things - quiet beach and the eco friendly credentials - both of which we thoroughly enjoyed and I’d give a 5 star for that. The staff are really great and mostly super helpful - once they get to know you especially if you are not Italian. Couple of things to note: The hotel is 90% catered to Italians so if you don’t like pasta and pizza you are pretty much stuck. One of us was vegetarian so ate pizza and chips the entire time which wasn’t so nice! On the positive side the gelato was first class but you had to ask for it , so if you didn’t know, you would easily miss out on it! And if you want to take nice insta worthy pictures after dressing up in the evenings then better be prepared to pay premium for a drink just to get a nice glass or land up taking picks in papercups because that’s all you get as an All inclusive paying customer! And noop apparently it’s non negotiable to get a decent glass at the bar otherwise! Finally our room - it was probably the farthest from the beach and right behind the amphitheater. The room was smelling mouldy and full of mosquitoes when we entered which to be fair they fixed quickly by cleaning with a strong cleaner and spraying with repellent. But we couldn’t do much about the noise level in the evening. Overall we loved the beach and the quiet location of the hotel.

Everything about our stay was perfect. We wanted somewhere quiet where we could relax and enjoy the sun on our last days in Zanzibar and Villa Bluu delivered that and more! The staff were so kind and attentive, food was delicious and the villa had perfect views. Highly recommend this villa if you want a relaxing stay in Zanzibar. Thank you everyone at Villa Bluu

The hotel is open for those that are not staying there to come in The mattresses are extremely hard, there were a few bugs in the bed that bit me. There was no cold water in the bathroom - the side for cold water had little to no pressure so barely any water came out. The shower head had I’m assuming mold or rust around the holes. The spray for the toilet had a broken trigger They only provide one small bottle of water per person per day Even though my door was locked, staff had most definitely entered to put snacks on the table. In the evening the staff are persistent in knocking on the door to give a gift even if your lights are off and you are in bed. This gift is a biscuit Breakfast is nice, outside is very nice as well as the staff. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again unless I have to, if you want to experience the outdoors here you can just walk in when you want. Much better off staying in another hotel or private villa in Paje and coming here if you want to spend the day there using the lounge chairs and pool Also they have pool parties which people from outside the hotel come for which runs until 7pm. If you have young kids etc it will be difficult for them to sleep here if your room is near the pool

Serveringen på frukosten var långsam, inte stort urval på frukosten, väldigt gott kaffe och trevlig personal i baren. Rummet var fräscht.
