Great stay at Indigo - classy spot in the East….
Lovely boutique hotel in the beach - great pool - fantastic friendly attentive staff. Me and my son stayed in an economy room garden view - all good - comfy bed - mosquito net - even turndown service before bed - nice touch. Beach is fantastic - can hire local boat out to reef for nice snorkelling - walk 30 - 40 min on beach into Paje kitesurfing central and restaurants, drinking spots abound. There are some other hotels nearby on beach slightly north - can walk to for dinner - but we advise ensure walking back in the light. We wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thx

Amazing staff, great food. Our bungalow room wasn’t ready from night one due to maintenance however the alternative room was okay. We were surprised by a lovely massage and complimentary romantic dinner which definitely made up for it. Good times, good people. Hakuna Matata!

A very lovely hotel
A wonderful few days spent in a lovely hotel, staff so warm and friendly. Service was good. A pleasant breakfast buffet, limited menu's for lunch and dinner. Beds were comfortable, the fans running a must as so little breeze made it to the room. No AC. Came in better than anticipated

No A/C & Exterior Toilet Under the Stars!
Unfortunately we could not spend a night here. A very nice spot; Scenic, quiet, clean and peaceful, however there is no A/C in super hot and humid Zanzibar! The toilet is located in an adjoining indoor/outdoor area with no roof/ceiling. This is an important factor to let people know. My child told me they'd not go to the bathroom at night. When we started debating what time to stop the drinks, we decided it was not worth the stay. There was also a gap between our bedroom and the bathroom area (that has no roof) so our room was full of mosquitoes! No A/C, you've got to keep the windows open for the breeze...They did have mosquito nets, but they had holes. They tried to tie them up but...Pool was also greenish. Sadly, we could not spend the night. The staff was lovely. A shame because the potential is there.

Honeymoon stay at Indigo
Indigo Beach Hotel was an absolute paradise. The hotel (or it should be called a resort) was amazingly clean and well kept up. The food was absolutely delicious from breakfast, lunch and dinner and the service and hospitality was the best I’ve experience in my last 3 years of global travel. We stayed in one of the beach front villas which felt like being right on the sand in front of the water. The villa was very clean, open and airy, with windows and doors you can open to provide an amazing beach experience. During the day we chose from a number of things to do which included, laying on the beach chairs in front of our villa, going to the pool, walked the beach tie Paje (45 min walk), rented a mo-ped ($25 all day) to cruise up to Rock Restaurant and took a dala dalal (2,000 shilling / per person) to Stone Town for the day. On our last night, they provided a complimentary private honeymoon dinner which was absolutely delicious and the decorations were beautiful. What an amazing stay at Indigo, I would defiantly stay there again! Thank you to the staff for the great food, cleanliness of the property and accommodation and for the hotel Masai for helping us get a cab at 4:30am to the airport after our first cab never showed.

Lovely but some issues
Lovely location right on the beach. Beach front cottage had beautiful views and gardens although the bed mattress was very hard and the room minimally furnished which meant we couldnt unpack. Also, when its 30 degrees plus the lack of fridge and air con in the rooms was disappointing. The cottage are designed to catch the breezes however this led to a sandstorm blowing in every day. Breakfast was good - pretty good hot and cold selection. However as the restaurant is back from the beach it doesnt get any breeze and has no fans so was too hot to eat there at lunch time. Dinner was over priced for Zanzibar ($20 per person for 3 courses) particularly when a $10 main was pasta and pesto. We tried going out to another hotel for dinner although sadly suffered an attempted mugging walking back on the beach after dark. The hotel was aware that the beach is not safe after sunset but had not informed us. After that we resigned ourselves to dinner at Indigo.

Vores værelse var lidt slidt og kunne godt trænge til en kærlig hånd. Hotellet super hyggeligt og personalet fantastiske. Stranden flyder med plastik og andet affald. Virkelig en skam. Alle virker desværre ligeglade med affalds problemet.

Super bien situé avec une belle vue sur la mer et nous avons adoré l’architecture du bungalow avec ses ouvertures pour le passage d’air ainsi que la salle de bain ouverte façon traditionnelle. Le staff est adorable. Le petit déjeuner doit être amélioré . Les beach boys sur la plage sont souvent en peu insistants et ils peuvent te suivre jusqu’à la mer pour vendre leur services qui sont apriori plus chers. Rester en calme sur le sun bed sans être dérangé pourrait être un pari difficile ...
