Loved the experience. Staff is amazing. Particularly, manager who looked after me (I was travelling Solo) and wonderful, beautiful Spa receptionist, Angel. Thank You and I hope I see You again very soon.

Amazing location with a nice gardens and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Thanks to the manager of the hotel and the cleaning staff, they are the best!

Amazing resort, completely surrounded by green, with a very friendly staff! Ali especially helped us in everything we needed!! Also the staff at the restaurant was super nice!

Stayed here many years ago and still remember it as my favourite holiday! For a few days we were the online people in the resort and it was lovely! The pool is great, the food was fabulous! We looked foward to each meal. The staff is amazing. Back then the rooms were amazing too.

A very beautiful Hotel with a really good Service. We are sure, to come back. Very friendly greetings to Ali. He is a very professional
person!!!

First of all, African 5* are not European 5*, so be ready ;) all is made from natural materials, clean enough, rooms were okay - African eco style, equipped with everything necessary but old. Windows in the bathroom - just why?))) I don’t want passing people watch me in the bathroom. Territory is shared with Palumbo, but Samaki has separate pool and bar too. I absolutely loved the territory, it’s nature, birds. Staff was friendly and helpful. Liza, a very nice and kind girl on the bar, made me a special cocktail to relieve my sore throat, it was very nice of her and helped a lot! Food was quite good, including seafood and different pastas. Overall impression is great but there are areas to be improved (rooms renovation).

You wanted a beach holiday! Zanzibar is a paradise island with lots to do.
Samaki Lodge and Spa Resort staff are very friendly and welcoming, keen to tailor your holiday experience to your requirements. On arrival, you may even get the opportunity to upgrade your package. Listen to the offers.
The room was very luxurious with mosquito-netted four poster queen-sized bed and a single bed used as a day bed or chaise longue. When the heat was unbearable, there was an excellent air conditioning unit and a fan to cool you down. The rooms had a square three-pin British-type socket for appliances. For round-pin plugs bring an adaptor. Wi-Fi was available 24/7 in the reception area. Ask reception for the password.
The food provided was excellent. Chef Dowie and his other chefs made sure all meals were to international standard on the buffet. The Restaurant opening times were very ameniable, if you fancied a lie-in or late dinner. The food quality was delightfully, exceptional! Waiting staff made sure your glass was filled with water.
Excursion options to get out and see the island, were very good value for money. Don't be late, they are run like clockwork.
Lounging around the resort, request a towel from reception, then there is the option of Samaki Pool and snack bar or Samaki secluded beach loungers; where one of the members of staff bring a sun lounger cushion for free for the day. Put down your towel to reserve your spot and enjoy.
Fancy a break from sunbathing, book in at the Spa beauty point for a wide variety of spa treatments at affordable prices. Spa treatments include aromatherapy massage; head massage; manicure, pedicure and Jacuzzi. The staff are professional, friendly and very good at what they do. It was immediately so relaxing perhaps because they have the appropriate soundtrack playing - envisage pan-pipes, Thai Mor lam or bird tweet calls. Sooo tranquil! Stretching (yoga) exercises were offered by the entertainment team.
Be ready to participate in the evening entertainment that the entertainment team Rodgers, Asia and others put on. Visiting Zanzibar dancing and singing groups are laid on, so you can appreciate Zanzibar Taarab and rural ngoma music. Most evenings end in a lively on-site disco called 'Makelele' playing up-to-date eurobeats.
