We created pleasant memories!
My wife and I recently spent a week at the Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort as a prelude to our wedding anniversary, and it was nothing short of amazing. We chose this hotel based on glowing reviews, and our experience completely confirmed them. From the moment we arrived, the staff stood out with their exceptional warmth and professionalism. They were not only pleasant but also had a distinct artistic approach to customer service, making us feel special at every turn. Our romantic getaway was made even more memorable by the little touches that showed how much thought went into ensuring a delightful stay. Housekeeping went above and beyond, giving our bedroom a unique and creative spread every day. It felt like a fresh surprise each time we walked in. Breakfast on the rooftop was another highlight, with a variety of beautifully served cuisines accompanied by breathtaking scenic views. It was the perfect way to start each day. The absolute highlight of our stay was the private dinner by the poolside, arranged just for the two of us. The ambiance was magical, and it truly felt like a dream come to life. We leave Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort with beautiful memories and a deep longing to return. It’s a place that perfectly blends luxury, romance, and exceptional service. We can’t wait to plan our next visit to Zanzibar!

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel and our rooms were very clean. The ocean view is spectacular, and there is a gym on site. The bed was very comfortable, and the room always smelled fresh. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff went out of their way to make sure that we had everything that we needed. The service, the helpfulness and the food was delightful. We had a 5:00 a.m. excursion one morning and was going to miss their most delicious breakfast which began at 7:00 a.m. (so we thought). We informed the hotel the night before, and were asked what we would like to eat. Our breakfast was packaged and waiting for us the next morning on time! I also left my outlet adapter and was unable to charge my phone. I told this to one of the staff, he in turn solved my problem. He made a call, found out the cost and sent his brother into town to buy one for me! Now that is going above and beyond. I am indeed grateful for the exceptional level of service we all received from the entire staff with their warm and friendly smiles. I plan on returning next year and will only stay at this location. The only thing I did not like is that I had to leave this beautiful place!!!
