Z Hotel is a spectacular tropical Oasis in Zanzibar! The staff, especially Julia was fabulous, the grounds and decor were beautiful and the food was delicious! I would stay here everytime I would be lucky enough to visit Zanzibar and I will tell everyone I know not to look any further than Z Hotel.

We stayed for three nights following our African Safari. We loved the property and would like to have stayed longer. The staff were delightful, the food was very good and our room with a sea views was on the small side but very comfortable with a good sized deck for all our lounging. We saw a number of properties along the beach and nothing compared to this lovely boutique style property.
