LUX* Marijani Zanzibar

Resort is located on a beautiful beach with lovely amenities. The chefs and support staff were fantastic, very friendly and cared for us. There were variety of vegan and vegetarian options on offer. Located about 40 minutes by boat from Mnemba Island which is a must to see the dolphins and for snorkeling.

The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and incredibly attentive. The buffet food was excellent and varied, and we could also order à la carte, with live background music or a show. The beach is wonderful — white, fine sand and very wide. At low tide you can walk several meters, as the water recedes and creates large sandbanks and small natural pools. Even when the tide comes in, you can still swim for several meters while keeping your feet on the ground. The water is crystal clear and extremely warm — sometimes we had to go to the pool just to cool down. The cleanliness was impeccable, both in the rooms and in the outdoor areas. The décor is very beautiful, and the gardens are well maintained. The pool has a good size, very pleasant water, and excellent service. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would return without any hesitation.
