Loved by The Mora Zanzibar Hotel guests
"Nice modern property, with great facilities including a diving center, tennis and padel courts."
"The room is well decorated with more then everything you need inside"
"The resort itself has everything you could want, great beach (although bear in mind there are locals on this beach trying to sell you things, but they're not allowed where the sun beds are so won't bother you, only when you make your way to the sea) there are 3 large pools, plenty of space, also a smaller pool for kids, shallow but still large!"

the food was great. i loved the variety at the buffet. the salad bar was excellent and the desserts tasted homemade. the kids club was really good and the staff were very lovely.
drinks took a long time to arrive. we waited on average 17 minutes at each restaurant. it happened that after 45 minutes we finished eating, yet our drinks still had not arrived. the grill and asian restaurant took over an hour to get our order.
