By far my favorite
Such a beautiful property. So many privat spots all on their property. The whole hotel is about ecologically friendly design with much love for details. The staff is very knowledgeable, genuine and friendly. Food was excellent. There are two restaurants to choose from one being Vietnamese. They have two spas and a variety of fitness classes, yoga and a jungle gym. I would recommend it to everyone to stay there for a few days.

Best stay in Jambiani
We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this beautiful boutique hotel. The location, room and beach are just stunning and exceeded our expectations. We like exploring and trying different places while on holiday, however we returned to Sharazād for dinner most days as their food and cocktails were just the best - especially when it comes to vegetarian options. Variety of breakfast and lunch/dinner changed daily, so we were spoilt with choices. Staff was helpful and approachable at all times and we felt very well looked after. Hoping to return to Sharazād Villas very soon.

Good resort with a little to gain still
A nice resort, but mainly for romantic couples I believe. As so many places in Zanzibar the food was not up to standards as I am used to, but it is fair. The prices for extra services such as laundry was VERY expensive compared to other hotels/resorts I visited in Zanzibar. And.. of course the staff.... For English speakers they were friendly, polite and nice. But (also as so many other places in Zanzibar) when they spoke Swahili among themselves they gave bad characteristics both of the guests and the owner. Lot of not so good voicing when they believe you cannot understand them.

Lovely hotel but needs air con
My husband and I enjoyed our stay, the service from the manager Hanis was personable and professional. The beach is not great for swimming due to the amount of seaweed but it is lovely to swim there, just needs to be timed. The food is lovely and the area quiet. Disappointly , the room did not have any air conditioning, just two fans. In high temperatures like what we experienced we feel this is a must.

Nous avions une bonne chambre dans cet hôtel au charme un peu décati avec logements espacés sur une vaste portion de plage : cela donne l’impression que l’hôtel n’est pas plein. Personnel extrêmement agréable et prévenant. Très belle plage de sable blanc se découvrant à marée basse. Seul petit problème : le système écolo de chauffage d’eau ne fournit pas d’eau chaude le matin !

Piccolo resort per chi cerca la pace a Zanzibar
Non sono un'amante dei grandi alberghi o delle catene, quindi per noi questo piccolo resort si è rivelato la scelta perfetta: poche camere, direttamente sulla spiaggia di Jambiani, ottimo ristorante e parecchia privacy. Le camere sono abbastanza spaziose, non lussuose ma confortevoli, in tipico stile locale. 2 piscine, bar, spiaggia con lettini e per nulla affollata, personale molto gentile. Il ristorante si è rivelato una splendida sorpresa, con un menù standard e un menù giornaliero che proponeva ogni giorno diverse nuove pietanze: carne, pesce, vegetariano, cucina locale e internazionale. Prezzi ok, dai 15.000 ai 42.000 TZS per un piatto principale. Due sole pecche: la Spa eccessivamente cara e il fatto che non sempre ci fosse a disposizione l'acqua calda nelle docce.

Très bel établissement, personnel et managers très sympathiques à l'écoute et qui font leur possible pour rendre le séjour agréable. La chambre est très propre, jolie et bien équipée. Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel, le meilleur que j'ai vu. Vous avez un buffet à votre disposition, ainsi qu'une carte de plats chauds et une carte de plats du jour. Vous pouvez avoir un petit déjeuner différent chaque jour avec des plats frais et bons. Le restaurant est très bon également avec un rapport qualité prix, tout à fait convenable. Le seul petit point négatif, est le fait que le petit coin ne soit pas séparé par une porte par rapport à la chambre et que la chambre dispose d'ouverture sur l'extérieur (grille d'aération) limitant un peu l'intimité. Globalement, c'est un excellent établissement que nous recommandons sans réserve. J'espère y retourner bientôt. ☺
