If you like large good value for money hotels and you are looking for all inclusive then this is for you. I opted for this hotel for the safari option and for that reason it was well worth it. Book local hire taxis and next time I would stay at a smaller hotel not catering for the masses, but that’s my fault for not researching it more. Just not sure a hotel that size works in that location.

Although it is far from the airport, being on the south side of the Island, this hotel is located very conveniently. There is a turtle cave, a swimming cave and dolphin viewing within 15 minutes drive from the hotel. I did not need to find restaurants as the hotel provided all meals.

a nice little place with shops, cafes and restaurants run by locals
can be reached on foot via the long, white beach
Water level depends on the tide. At low tide there are lovely walks in the soft sand

The beach has a lot of algae. The sea is extremely hot.
The beach has a lot of algae. The sea is extremely hot. The southern tip of the island where the sea is deeper is much nicer. The restaurants are so so. Fish is never fresh! Locals can be annoying. Too much contact.

Jambiani is a great place to visit when you aren't looking...
Jambiani is a great place to visit when you aren't looking for an extremely busy beach with lots of noise. That being said, there were still "beach parties" with noise until about midnight. Be aware of the high and low tides, and plan your activities accordingly. Several great restaurants and bars on the small walkable beach. Always felt safe as a solo female traveler.
We stayed in three different hotels and Mkeka Spice Lodge was by far the best.
We have never eaten such a rich breakfast anywhere. The portions were huge and everything was delicious. The rooms are very clean, there is always hot water. The beach is only a few minutes walk.
Hotel service is fantastic.
when we were leaving we were sad to say goodbye to the staff who were always helpful and always made us laugh.
The hotel is well guarded and you can feel very safe.
If we come back to Zanzibar it's only to Mkeka Spice Lodge.❤
The staff, location and beach access is what we liked the most about the property. Mary,
Maragaret, Priscilla, Anderson, Elias, Fred was amazing and rendered excellent customer service during our entire stay!!!!
Mary made sure that we ALWAYS have everything we may have needed. She was very friendly and professional during our stay. By the end of our short stay, Mary felt like family! She will truly be missed! Mary is definitely an valued asset to Fun Beach Hotel!
We had a wonderful 3 days stay in Wow Beach House in January. This small guesthouse is run by a local family, and the host is super friendly and helpful. The location in Jambiani is very nice, and it's just a few steps away (2nd row) from a gorgeous beach with amazing sunrises. The breakfast was perfect, and the room was spacious. There is a great restaurant (Jiwe's Swahili Kitchen) just around the corner, and small shops very close by too.
Everything was perfect 👌
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Zanzibar. The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High-quality rooms.
the reason which I will come back to Zanzibar again is Passion Boutique ❤️
Host is a pleasant person. He was very helpful with logistics and advice
Beach is excellent and nearby easily one of the best in zanzibar
The pool was clean and very refreshing in the heat
The house is as presented on booking.com and is well maintained, the electric fencing around the property is also a welcome ring of reassurance even though at no one time did we feel insecure even when walking around Jambiani late at night.
The whole property is amazing. The bungalows are huge with very comfy matress, bathroom is also spacious with constant hot water and good water pressure.
The pool area and the beach is exceptional so as the breakfast.
Altough we are active travellers we enjoyed the place so much that we spent almost the whole time at the hotel area.
Thank you for Gloria and the whole staff for being so attentive.
Would def go back.
Amazing little hotel 1 minute to Jambiani beach. Rooms are comfortable and clean.
Great location next to superb local restaurants
On the quieter side of the beach but only a 5-10 minute to cover everything you'd need.
Excellent staff - Carlos is an amazing host!
Laundry services super cheap.
Breakfast was nice with different amazing fruits, pancakes and fresh juice. We enjoyed it every morning.
Absolutely loved the laid back vibe of this place.I was offered an upgrade and had the room right by the beach. The tasteful interior of the rooms attracted me to this hotel initially. This is the kind of place you can walk barefoot in all day. Its small and intimate with really friendly people working there. And delicious food! Great drinks! Wonderful beach bar with a fun swing!
if you’re looking for a laidback vibe, amazing people and comfortable place in Zanzibar. This is it! it has direct beach access, a nice pool and probably some of the best food / breakfast. They have an amazing massage service too which I would highly recommend. The people that work there are absolutely amazing too! we loved our time there and can’t wait to go back one day.
Stayed in 7 hotels whilst in Zanzibar and this one was by far my favourite!! The room was lovely and really clean.
Daniel the managers was super friendly, always had a smile on his face.
Great location, short walk from the beach and I loved walking through the village everyday. Only 5 mins on a bike from Paje too.
Would definitely stay here again!!
It is a very quiet place to stay in. Excellent location, by the Jambiani beach.
Staff pay attention to every little detail. The manager and his team take good care of you.

We liked the beach-setting of our room with georgeus view on the ocean. Breathtaking. Staff was extremely friendly, interior authentic style, restaurant had a very good food, kite school was nerby and the local vibe on the beach priceless. In case we ever return to Zanzibar, this will be defenetely be our stay of choice again.
This is a nice hotel with so much potential. It probably has the best spot on the beach and I sorely miss coming down to breakfast every morning and seeing the view of that beautiful blue ocean. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and chef John made us some of the best meals we had had in Zanzibar.
Very nice hotel next to the beach with very friendly staff. Good breakfast as well :) the area is lovely and it has a lot of restaurants arround!
We had to do a prepayment online and at first I thought it was strange, but that’s most of the hotels in zanzibar so no worries!
I recomend it 100%.
The place is a little paradise on earth! We spent our last 2 nights in Zanzibar there. The weather in Jambiani is amazing (less wind than Paje which is 6km away). Staff is very friendly and helpful. The swimming pool is awesome.
A big thanks to the very kind managing couple at Driftwood.
The house is amazing and the location is really good. The beach in Jambiani area is good but not the best in Zanzibar. Though the area has a lot of things to do. It is also a windy area of the island but for us it was great because otherwise it would have been too hot.
Our honeymoon was in Zanzibar and we spent 12 nights in Zanzibar in many different 5 stars hotels. By far Sharazad is on top of them, super comfortable in the middle of jungle, super friendly staff, delicious food and very clean rooms.
Highly highly recommended!
My stay at Passion Boutique Hotel Zanzibar was pure bliss. The staff's extraordinary friendliness made me feel at home. The accommodation was beautifully designed, and the beachfront view was simply stunning. A perfect paradise escape!
