Reef & Beach Resort - Spa Jambiani

This hotel should have 5* instead of 4*. There is no lack of anything. Rooms are cleaned twice a day, it’s clean, there are no mosquitoes. Food is DELICIOUS. it is often said that on all inclusive food is the same, taste the same etc and here everything has strong, different taste. Things are various, not the same everyday. Staff is very kind and helpful. There are different rooms — the best are bungalows but as I have seen — there are new, modern rooms, not in a suahili style. There is enough space by the pools and cocktails are super nice!! I need to come back here, this is real paradise ❤️❤️

We stayed at the Reef & Beach Resort for four nights, and our experience was excellent. Check-in was quick, and the manager, Funel, kindly upgraded us to an ocean-view room, which was a fantastic start to our stay. Location The hotel is a bit away from town, so having a vehicle is useful. However, taxis are readily available just outside the hotel, making it easy to get around. As for the beachfront, low tide lasts until around 3:30 pm, but after that, you can swim by the Getty Bar, where the water is clear and amazing. Food We were on an all-inclusive package, so we had access to fruit juice, drinks from the bar, and a wide variety of local dishes at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant felt a bit small for the hotel’s size, but it still provided a good dining experience. Indian restaurant needed more spices. Facilities The hotel has two beautiful swimming pools, one of which is by the sea with plenty of sunbeds, making it a lovely spot to relax. Room Our room was comfortable, clean, and equipped with a mosquito net, a cozy bed, and a safe. However, the shower water was a bit salty, which could be improved. Entertainment The entertainment and music at the bar were excellent, especially the fashion show put on by the hotel staff. It added a fun touch to our evenings. Staff A special thank you to Funel and Said, the guest relations officer, for their exceptional service, as well as to the warm and friendly restaurant team. The staff member at the Indian restaurant bar (forgot to take his name) made a mango lassy for the first time they always go over and above to make your holiday a memorable. Their kindness truly made a difference in our stay. Overall A few minor drawbacks we encountered a few power outages during our stay, and the network connectivity wasn’t the best, and the water on the shower is salty The standout quality of this hotel is its staff, who provide outstanding service and make the experience memorable.

Lovely resort with 2 pools & a jetty right on the beach. The staff are friendly, cheerful & attentive. The room was basic but clean & spacious. Lovely tasty local cuisine (and other food types) in the restaurant & plenty for non meat eaters. We had a great experience & definitely recommend

What amazing holiday I had! Met some great people, had an amazing time and the safari in Selous was fantastic! The staff is amazing, friendly and very personal as they always remember what you say which I very much like and appreciate. Said, the guest relations man, I want to thank you so much for your help. You are amazing and I will definitely see you again as I will come back to this hotel. The hotel is very nice, jetty bar and the beach are beautiful and as I said, amazing staff working in the hotel and always there to help. Everyone is friendly and make you feel welcome. Thank you so much again and see you next time!

A fantastic resort! The personell was exceptionally service minded! Beautiful surroundings, where we could swim in the ocean during high tides and go for long walks during low tides. The mangrove with the monkeys was also nice. Food was tasty with a lot of different choices. Delicious fresh fruit with all meals. We stayed in lovley rooms with ocean view and swim up terrace. They were spacious, clean and with a great location on the beach. We enjoyed the many and diverse activities and evening entertainment arranged by the animation team. Stayed for three weeks and did not want to leave!

Was visiting for my 60th birthday. In that time I’ve visited many countries & cultures. I have to say everything about Zanzibar & Reef Beach was perfect. Staff, cleanliness, food, room, service, was absolutely perfect. The photos don’t do it justice ( it’s better real life ). The jetty & sea were fantastic even for a non swimmer like me. Staff always smiling & Jambo at every passing. I would definitely return as we had 11 nights of bliss !!
