I have always believed that expensive prices are always good, so I found this restaurant. The general manager is a Canadian girl. She is arrogant, hypocritical and unreasonable. Later I found out that people from the north are extremely unfriendly to Chinese people. I was burned by the hot water from the bathtub faucet and was actually burned by this woman. I was educated on how to take a shower. I was covered in mosquito bites. I was not bitten all the way in Africa. They also charged money for mosquito repellent. Such an expensive hotel doesn’t provide mosquito repellent? ! She doesn't open the door when you come back from going out, making you stand in front of the door for a long time, and the food is very poor. For a Canadian living in a place like Africa, you can imagine her strange attitude.

Zawadi is the true definition of private luxury! Everything was pristine: staff, property, drinks/food, views, villa, bed comfort, bath products, water pressure, hospitality, etc. The service & staff was incredible- Iddy, Mr M, Innocent, Bernard & Ally were amazing and truly caterered to my husband and I. Mary & Tatu did a superb job maintaining our villa. Noa, Isaak & Evelyn were lovely hosts, always checking on us and ensuring a pleasant experience. Live music is brought in for dinner 3x a week. Snorkeling, clear kayak & paddle boarding are available & included on site. You can also visit the small farm & garden onsite to see where most of your meals/food is grown. Everything is incredibly fresh! Extra activities are available such as a sunset cruise, however it is quite pricey ($450usd) so we chose a local tour operator on a traditional dhow boat that was a lovely experience for just $60usd. It seemed a bit frowned upon by the hotel staff to book w/outside/local tour operators (multiple comments were made). If you’re well-traveled & cautious like we are & want to support the locals, you’ll be fine. Don’t let the staff scare you away from an authentic experience. :) In conclusion, this is a property my husband and I would absolutely return & visit yearly, and as a travel advisor- it is most definitely one I’ll recommend to my luxury vip clients.

Zwölf wundervoll gelegene Villen erwarten den Gast - daneben ein wundervolles Team, dass den Gast willkommen heißt und jeden Tag zu einem Besonderen macht. Die Unterkünfte sind geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet - sehr große Wohnzimmer in Kombination mit dem Schlafzimmer; von dort ein großartiger Blick auf das Meer. Das Badezimmer ist sehr großzügig geschnitten und es fehlt an nichts (einzig die Waage sollte man bei dem Verwöhnpaket im Zawadi Hotel meiden!). Eine Badewanne mit View und eine sehr große Raindance Dusche runden das Bad ab. Klasse, dass auch der Wasserdruck nicht zu wünschen übrig läßt. Der Kühlschrank in den Villen ist sehr gut gefüllt (Weine, Bier, Soda etc.) - dazu ein sehr guter Rotwein für alle die, denen die sehr umfassenden Angebote an Bar und im Restaurant nicht ausreichen. „Klagend“ auf hohem Niveau: die Klimaanlage ist leider auch im „Nachtmodus“ hörbar, da direkt über dem Bett installiert. Vier Essenssequenzen am Tag sind sehr ausreichend - alles wird liebevoll zubereitet und serviert; Sonderwünsche wurden bei uns immer erfüllt. Vor dem Abendessen werden auf der Terrasse der Villa Snacks und ein erster Cocktail serviert; eine sehr nette Tradition, an die wir uns gern gewöhnt haben. Zum Abendessen wird man mit Champagner begrüßt - korrespondierende Weine zu den unterschiedlichen Gängen sind wirklich gut. Ordentliche Auswahl an Wei-, Rose und Rotweinen. Dazu alle gängigen Cocktails - aber viel schöner ist es sich von der Crew überraschen zu lassen; wir sind hier nie enttäuscht worden. Das Hotel liegt auf einem Felsen; es gibt einen eigenen Strand und dann der rund 150 Meter breite Strand unterhalb des Felsens; hier ist mit erheblichen Tieden zu rechnen; bis zu vier Meter steigt der Wasserspiegel bei Flut. Uns hat die Liebe zum Detail in dieser Anlage begeistert (adults only) - das Design ist einzigartig und durchgängig stimmig. Absolut hervorragend das Personal, das einem jeden Wunsch von ein Augen abliest; von Bernard über Innocent, Ally, Iddy und Razza - wirkliche Dienstleister! Aber auch Noa und Evely waren immer zur Stelle und um das Wohlbefinden der Gäste besorgt. Nicht zu vergessen die vielen Gärtner und Servicekräfte, die im Hintergrund einen tollen Job machen - wir kommen wieder!

I have spent 50 years travelling the world on business and on family holidays - I had never been to Tanzania or Zanzibar before. I am struggling to think of a more beautiful place to stay than Zawadi or more naturally friendly staff. Bernard and Isaac stood out. This despite the tail of a Cyclone when we arrived and the obvious low per capita income visible on the roads from the airport - think Indian countryside and Mombasa suburbs. - the Tanzanian people seem genuinely happier than in most African countries I have been to.

The Zawadi Hotel was terrific! The whole staff, Manager and Assistant Manager are highly motivated. All personnel we met were gracious, generous and made us feel very comfortable. The room was very clean and comfortable with attention to the details. The food was outstanding and plentiful, superb service and drinks were excellent. There is full time security to ensure safety. The Zawadi makes a lasting positive impression. We highly recommend Zawadi!!!
