Blue Reef Sport & Fishing Lodge and Bungalows

We truly enjoyed our four weeks stay in one of the very spacious (100m2) lofts in this small attractive and well-managed hotel. The location right at the beach is almost perfect and allows for excellent daily swimming in safe, clean water. The views from the terrace are spectacular, especially so at low tide. In the restaurant we savoured the freshest fish imaginable, served by the friendly staff.

Visited five times and giving it five stars! Amazing staff and a prime location right on the beach! The restaurant serves excellent dishes made from fresh fish, and the salads are also crisp and refreshing! If fishing tales are your thing, this is the place where they’ll be heard! You’re either a fishing freak or a future one—Nathan and Thomas are sure to arrange a fishing adventure that suits you perfectly.

I have not been back to Zanzibar for 20 years, this is my 4th visit. I wanted to bring my children. Zanzibar has changed alot, big hotels and alot of development, not well controlled. This is an exellent establishment. The beach cottages are pretty with fans and an ocean view. Wonderful sunbeds infront of the ocean. We ate at the restaurant twice, i had really fresh lobster, chicken tacos and a very good cheesecake. The rooms are cleaned evryday to a very high standard which is a relief after the sandy beach days. We had our washing done and it was not a rip off like other places we stayed. The snorkelling in their own Dhow was really good and a third of the price of other places. Their captain spoke english and explained sailing techniques along the way. They have a wood pizza oven and their pizzas are really good, the best I have eaten in ages. The staff are professional and kind, their cocktails at the sand bar are superb with fresh juices. We had healthy breakfast option with really good homemade granola and local honey. The reason I am leaving such a detailed review is that I own a hotel and camp in Marrakech and I can see how well run this place is. They care about the beach and their room information educates you on how they give back and their recycling beach trash initiatives. This is one of a few authentic Zanzibarian accommodations left. Jambiani beach has other little places and I would recommend staying here if you want fresh fish, good vibes!

Amazing place right on the beach front. The staff and owners cant do enough to make your stay unforgettable. Great cocktails and the food is great.
