Beautiful ocean views and excellent breakfast, but rooms felt too small for the price.

The food was inconsistent and service lacking.

The seafood set menu was unforgettable! 😍 Pairing Piri piri prawns with stunning ocean views was a highlight of my stay. Rooms were lovely, but the noise from nearby clubs at night was annoying.

I keep coming back because this place suits me perfectly! Excellent amenities like in-room breakfast, free wi-fi, and an infinity pool. The staff was kind, especially during my first visit when they helped my elderly parents with such warmth.

Charming atmosphere and great service

I had a delightful stay with a breathtaking view from my Superior Double Room Sea View. The breakfast was a standout with delicious local dishes and fresh options daily. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided attentive service throughout my visit. However, the hotel could use an elevator for easier access, especially for those with mobility issues.

I greatly appreciated the stunning wooden interiors and rich cultural decor throughout the hotel. The common areas were beautifully designed, making it easy for me to navigate comfortably, which is essential for seniors like myself.

More seating in common areas would be helpful.

Had an unforgettable trip with friends! We explored the captivating Stone Town and visited Prison Island. The views were stunning, and the staff were genuinely friendly. Breakfast was delicious, and the location is perfect for sightseeing. Just a heads up, the hotel could benefit from a gym.

Unfortunately, we faced an issue with hot water during our stay. Though the manager handled it well, it was still a little inconvenient.

Enjoyed stunning ocean views from the balcony and the rooftop terrace served up a fantastic seafood menu. The pool area offers plenty of sunbeds, making it a comfortable spot to soak in the sun after a swim.

Climbing to the second floor lacks a lift, which can be a hassle if you forget something in your room. The water pressure in the shower was weak, and housekeeping arrived to find empty body lotion and conditioner bottles—prompt response in replenishing but could use attention before check-in. Additionally, the noise from the nearby Sunset Bar could disturb sensitive sleepers, especially those in southern flank rooms.

the coffee shop was located right by the ocean 🌊, which was a lovely spot to sip on drinks. breakfast quality was top-notch and served early, perfect for early risers! the service from the staff was also welcoming and attentive.

experience authentic zanzibar culture with unbeatable sea views and caring staff

Incredible service and stunning ocean views.

The ambiance at Serena Zanzibar truly captivates, with lovely ocean views and a wonderfully attentive staff. While the room was charming, it was small, and the dining service occasionally missed the mark. Overall, the experience was delightful, reflecting a unique blend of luxury and culture.

Amazing stay with fantastic views!

Just spent a night here and wow, the sea view from my room was jaw-dropping! The staff, especially Suleiman, were super nice and helpful. Breakfast was a real treat! My only issue was that the seating area by the pool felt a bit cramped. Overall, an unforgettable experience!

Would definitely recommend for a flash visit

Stately property, attentive service, with beautiful views of the sea from the balcony and comfy rooms with ample space for luggage.

Everything was up to par.
