Reviews 1498+ From Tripadvisor

An absolutely perfect stay from start to finish! We spent seven days and six nights at Gold Zanzibar, and everything was perfect from start to finish. We were lucky enough to stay first in Garden Villa 803 and then in Beach Villa 602, with Butler service. This service is a real plus: the team takes wonderful care of you, and communication is very easy thanks to a dedicated WhatsApp number. A huge thank you to the entire Butler Team, especially Khadija, Salim, Maxwell and Jakeline, who took such wonderful care of us throughout our stay. Jakeline, with her great sense of humor, affectionately nicknamed me “Madame Boss”! 😄

A Perfect Stay in Paradise! We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Gold Zanzibar. Everything was perfect: the room was beautiful, very comfortable and impeccably maintained. The entire staff was exceptionally kind, always smiling, attentive and available. The beach is simply paradise, with a dreamlike setting and a magnificent sea. The hotel’s facilities and services fully live up to this exceptional location.
