Average

-Room was quiet and breakfast was nice

-I booked a garden view room, I arrived at 9pm, and they said they dont have space in the rooms, and they upgraded me to a bungalow room, however this room was unrenovated, the shower had a drainage issue and had to go through sketchy stairs to my room. Bed was comfy, and quiet. -in the all inclusive option there were only 2 restaurants to go to, and the 1 was already fully booked for our stay when we came, so we had to have dinner at the same place for 4 nights. -Was not allowed to access best pool due to me purchasing all inclusive option which was not informed before.

OUTSTANDING

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable stay – truly outstanding! We had the most amazing week at Meliá Zanzibar! Everything was outstanding from beginning to end, but what really made our stay so special was the incredible service. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate every single one of our requests. Everyone was extremely professional, kind, attentive and ALWAYS smiling! They made everything so easy for us, especially travelling with our 11-month-old baby. A very special mention to the chef, who was absolutely amazing with our baby. Twice a day, he prepared special fresh meals just for her, always making something different. As parents, having this level of attention and care made such a huge difference and allowed us to really relax and enjoy our holiday. The food in general was excellent, the hotel was beautiful and very clean, and the managers were always present and available. They would regularly come and speak to the guests, asking if everything was going well or if there was anything they could do for us. You really feel that guest satisfaction is a priority here. I travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels around the world, but Meliá Zanzibar is genuinely at the top of the game when it comes to hospitality and service. A HUGE thank you to the entire Meliá team — every single person, with zero exceptions! ❤️ You made this week unforgettable for us and for our baby, and we are leaving with such beautiful memories. We will definitely come back! Thank you for everything! ❤️
