We were a group of 45 visiting The Residence, Zanzibar. We were suggested other resorts by our agent but we decided to stay here and it was the BEST decision. Not a single person from the 45 of us had a single complain. The staff was so accommodating to all our request. The food, the rooms, the beach, the water... More

I was travelling with my parents to Zanzibar. We did a safari and decided to end our vacation by relaxing in Zanzibar. Came to know about The Residence in Zanzibar and after reading the reviews decided to stay there. It was an amazing place and the staff was always eager to help and make any changes if required to the... More

We are back one week fro our trip to Zanzibar. We stayed our first three nights in Stone Town at Mahsharaki Palace Hotel, which I must say was just lovely.. Freindly, boutique feel with reasonably priced excursions which could be organised at the drop of a hat. So then we travelled on to the residence, and I must say we... More

The hotel has excellent staff, all focussed on making your holiday as memorable as possible without being overbearing. The facilities are excellent, villas are well appointed and the vista is wonderful. We were a party of five including an elderly person with limited mobility and the staff did everything they could to make sure we had the most wonderful time.... More

Luxurious accommodation but designed to blend into the landscape on beautiful beach with excellent snorkelling. Superb and gracious service along with the best food on our 4 week East African adventure. A must return hotel for our family.

They have bicycles that they provide for each villa, which was very nice. Of course you can always take one of the golf carts if you do not wish to use the bicycles.... More

We decided to offer ourselves a treat on our 5th Wedding Anniversary and opted for The Residence Zanzibar. We would not have chosen better .... The service was excellent and attention to details seemed to be a natural attribute of all the staff. This is certainly a vacation we will remember for a very long time. Highly recommended ......

From the minute you arrive at The Residence you know you're going to be very well looked after. Refreshing drinks and frangipani scented cooling towels are welcome as you are checked in and briefed by the friendly reception staff. The Residence has about 60 villas so as you can imagine the hotel grounds are rather large and spacious. This is... More
