We had a fantastic stay, spacious rooms with huge beds, mosquito nets, patio doors looking out onto the gardens, and well-equipped bathrooms. We have two young adults and a teenager so they accommodated our needs of one room with three single beds. Everything was spotless and the staff were incredibly friendly from waiters to cleaners to groundskeepers, everyone greeted you with a smile. The food was excellent with plenty of variety. The Grill served great lunches (sandwiches, burgers) and evening buffets with fresh seafood right on the beach. The Italian restaurant was lovely and intimate, with buffet starters and desserts, mains from a menu, and a pizza oven. The Asia restaurant served huge, tasty teriyaki lunches right by the beach. Special themed dinners by the pool and beach felt really memorable. Pools were beautiful, always clean, and had great drinks service, the smaller pool was especially peaceful. Sunbeds were easy to find throughout the day. Yoga (even aerial yoga!) was so relaxing, coconut-leaf weaving was fun, and the entertainment, especially the different dancers on several nights were excellent. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable across the resort. The beach felt secure with lots of staff around, though you may be approached by locals at the waterline just a friendly “Jambo, no thank you” works fine. There’s also a raised private section with sunbeds and a bar. So you do get to relax on the beach. A few notes: the laundry service was pricey and basic (just a wash, no ironing), and the app for activity bookings takes a little getting used to but the activities themselves were great, especially the fitness sessions. Overall, a wonderfully run resort with excellent food, friendly service, beautiful grounds, and plenty to do, highly recommended!

There were power dips at night during which the emergency lights in the room would go on.

The resort offers everything you need, and more. It is breathtakingly beautiful, relaxing and ample space for everyone.

We had a leakage in our bathroom which took some time to resolve.

The staff were lovely and attentive. A big thank you to Elizabeth, Kaji, Alice, Rehema and Moris whose service really stood out. The property is absolutely beautiful and meticulously maintained.

The only downside was that the towels had an unpleasant smell, and we also feel that the non-halal meat should be clearly separated from the halal options to cater to guests with dietary needs. Other than that, everything was amazing and we’d definitely recommend this resort for a peaceful and enjoyable escape.

We absolutely loved our stay at TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar! The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming – they truly went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. The resort itself is beautiful, with lush surroundings and plenty to do. We especially enjoyed the Green & Grill restaurant – the food was fresh, delicious, and a definite highlight of our trip. A special shoutout to Yunus and Kuathar at Green & Grill for their amazing service – they went out of their way to make every meal special, and even surprised me by singing happy birthday! It was such a thoughtful and memorable moment.

Recommendation to TUI Blue: 1) The kids play room is really nice but the toys available inside really need to be stocked up. 2) Consider adding at least 1 activity per day to the program for the younger kids (under 8 years old)

We were a family of 7 ranging from under 2 to over 70. We were welcomed with warmth by Ally (Blue guide) who went out of his way to make our stay memorable. The rooms were spacious and amazing, located next to each other with everything in walkable distance. The food was amazing and there's always an option for everyone in the family. The service everywhere was always super friendly, helpful and with broad smiles (for the kids especially). The manager Hassan who was always overseeing things at the restaurants always checked in with guests and also listened to our recommendations (which he implemented by the next meal already). The beach was tide dependent but beautiful always. It is preferable to wear aqua shoes but not a must. I've only mentioned 2 staff names but the warmth and smiles spread across all staff in all departments. It was really an amazing stay and would definitely recommend TUI Blue Zanzibar to others. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Buffet and choice of restaurants was excellent. Lots of activiies.

The beach/sea isn’t fantastic on that side of the island as it’s serenely affected by high and low tides. But if a beach isn’t your priority it’s fantastic

The activities were fantastic- kept the days busy. Nice to have the selection of restaurants. Staff were fantastic they deserve 10/10. We stayed for our honeymoon and it was an amazing 10 days. Amazing for food allergies specifically gluten free food- pastas breads pizzas pancakes etc all made gluten free as I am coeliac

I recently stayed at TUI Hotel and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the moment I arrived, the customer service was outstanding — I truly felt welcomed and cared for throughout my stay. A special mention goes to Rajiv Fredrick, the supervisor, who went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. His professionalism and genuine kindness made a real difference. I would also like to thank Horace and Jovin for their exceptional service and warm hospitality — they were always ready with a smile and willing to help with anything I needed. The hotel itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and offers everything you could ask for in a relaxing getaway, but it’s the amazing staff that made this stay truly unforgettable. Thank you, TUI Hotel team, for making my stay so wonderful — I can’t wait to come back!

We came across a time when there was construction going on at the hotel, we were a little annoyed when we entered the hotel. But they made up for it very well the next day.

The staff was very polite, the facility was very nice

Fantastic service and great location lots of food choice and great staff

Activities need to be improved and timed well. For example, one would expect to have some live band on a Friday night rather than a movie night

Location and some facilities and some staff were very good also we celebrated our wedding anniversary here and the private beach set up for dinner and food was excellent.

The long walk and stairs to the main pool and restaurants

Friendly staff, excellent service, good hotel rooms

The staffs service were excellent. The compound layout. The private villa and pool. Dinner on the beach. Some amenities like the breather and the Indian restaurant are closed. That was disappointing as I liked it before.

Location is great. Breakfast is good it only needs variety change time to time and layout when possible. To make it more refreshing and existing. I have been there in three different occasions.

A unique TUI BLUE experience TUI BLUE Zanzibar is a slice of paradise! The stunning views and relaxed vibe greet you, setting the stage for an unforgettable and long week getaway (with a little bit of work 😊). The resort is absolutely lush, well kept, and beautiful with picturesque photo opportunities all around, especially at the beach. Our room was amazing, very cleaned, spacious and comfortable with a stunning ocean view and totally faultless. The staff are incredibly friendly, always ready with a smile. Their warm hospitality enhances the experience. The seafood at Breeze restaurant is a highlight, fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The international buffet dinner around the pool and the Swahili night at the beach with a Massai performance are a must to attend. A special shout-out to the Executive Chef Ali and his team for creating such memorable meals, during our entire stay. The resort offers multiple restaurants to enjoy with different thematic (Italian, Seafood, BBQ and Asian). We want to acknowledge a few super stars who made our stay extra enjoyable. Thank you to Clara, our adorable waitress who always took care of us with a smile and colorful eyeshadow 😊. She is so nice and felt like family by the time we left. Thank you to Hassan the fantastic Food and Beverage manager who made sure that we were very well looked after. He got his department fully under control and was present morning to night to be sure his guests are well taken care of. Finally, I want to personally thank the General Manager Mr. Javier and his management team. If the guest experience feels so enjoyable is also due to his leader who in the shadow of the actions makes sure the property is well run. Bravo! Thanks for a wonderful experience, we are hoping to be back someday! Patrick & Emelia
