It was my friend’s birthday and we needed an escape place to relax and rewind where by the rooms 218 and 101 met out expectations with comfy beds .The house keeping department staff were friendly,helpful and got a sense of professionalism (Patrick and Shawatu ) . We were served at the restaurant by Yusuph.He was so kin at collecting orders and the food was so scrumptious and more classical. More so all other staff were kind even to those we met and asked for any help for example Mr.Tom and Alex Joel they were kind. The best and unique experience was the ice bath.

Upon arrival, I was greeted with a fresh coconut to drink. The hotel arranged a tour to Jozani Forest for me, washed my laundry for a very reasonable fee, and answered my many questions about transport around the island. I loved having access to shady lounge chairs on the beach. Best of all, the food was amazing. There were so many delicious options.

We loved everything, from the extremely beautiful site, with very comfortable villas built directly on the beach and over the sea, the quietness and exclusivity of all the place with an immense and almost “private” beach at our feet”, the very tasteful decoration and relaxed atmosphere, the great meals in a wonderful restaurant, to the kind, friendly and joyful attitude of all the staff … the perfect environment for a unique and unforgettable holiday !

    Paradise! A lovely small resort, I think there’s around 12 rooms so each guest is extremely well looked after by the staff at Belvedere. All staff members were welcoming and helpful with the managers checking in on guests daily. The rooms are fabulous, open your room door and you’re on the beach! The resort takes care of day trips and taxis, or any extra expense and you pay for everything at the end of your stay, which we found very helpful instead of having to haggle prices ect. The resort felt very safe and it’s really well kept.

    Place in Paradies. We stayed over one week with two kids end of may/ beginning of June. Staff is wonderful, the house was perfect for us. a little kitchen and fridge was komfortable for preparing small snacks. the view in the morning, evening and all the daytime is amazing. most of the time the beach is amazing!!! just with very high tide around full moon you can not enter it. the breakfast location is close and a short beautiful walk even trough the village, if the beach is not accessible. 100 % recommendation.

The pool is uber clean and massive. The beach is the best and the onsite kite surfing school is amazing. Simon does a great job running the joint and we can’t wait to return to paradise.

    If you have only stayed at Sheraton, Marriott, Ritz, King George or similar hotels - this is not your place. But if you are looking for clean beaches, clear sea, delicious food, peace, close contact with nature, friendly and courteous staff - this is it. There are many bars and small restaurants along the coast that offer a variety of food. In addition, in the town (of course African) you can buy products that are very fresh, and the people are friendly. Here you can buy handmade jewelry and souvenirs from the local population and the Masai.

    This is not a touristy location... it is off the beaten track... a village, by the sea, with an increasing number of resorts being added. I hope it does not lose its charm to the crowds. This is a quiet, special place.

    This place is a gem! A new hotel with a big heart, right by the ocean, surrounded by peaceful gardens and a stunning pool. The rooms are spacious and stylish, the breakfast is fresh and delicious, and very friendly staff. The connection to the hospitality school is inspiring—it's not just a great stay, it’s also supporting something meaningful.. It’s rare to find a place that feels this good in every way. Thank you, Palmera!

    Just up the beach from Paje town, a little quieter but thats what was nice. Wandered to different restaurants along the beach for lunch and dinner. Limited during off season but enough open. We came via Dar Es Salaam airport and ferry. If you can't get an e-visa before arrival, plan 2hrs to exit the airport. We missed our booked ferry and had to pay again for the last ferry on a different company. Used Zanzibar Quest to book the ferry and transport with exemplary service and support via whatsapp and email. The new travel insurance requirement $50p/p on top of the $50p/p visa fee is a scam that mars the experience. The amount of times we had to show our passport and visa / travel insurance was reminiscent of the cold war. Inefficient and overboard. So if you can fly direct to Zanzibar and use e-visa or have patience and a loose schedule. The drive to the Page beach area took about 1 ½ hrs with the first ⅓ taking ¾ of the time with a typical african road experience. Get a good driver. Driving licenses are issued by testing payment of fee. The driver booked by Zanzibar Quest was excellent. Great beach, wind was consistent during the afternoon to either kite or cool down. Bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Not a fan of the immigration process or the fees.
