everything was amazing, truly we had the best time. The security was there so we felt safe. Try not to get influenced by the negative reviews, I am so glad we didn't because everything was up to an incredible standard. We loved Coco such a cute addition but we are also big animal lovers. Good food, good breakfast options, clean beach with cool restaurants around. The masais were not intrusive, mainly just friendly guys. So happy we chose Karibu. The room with beach view was out of this world.

Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true. As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it! As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK! Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way. To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.

I have been to Zanzibar many times and stayed in different high-level hotels, and I can confidently say — this hotel is one of the best! 🔥 Excellent value for money and very pleasant service. We traveled as a big group, and everyone was absolutely delighted! A special thank you to the manager Emanuel, who was extremely attentive to every detail and always friendly. And also a huge thank you to the owner of the hotel, who was present during our stay and made it especially enjoyable. The staff is attentive and always quick to respond to any request. The atmosphere is very friendly, and you truly feel like a welcome guest. Rooms are kept very clean. Breakfasts may not have a huge variety, but everything is always fresh, tasty, and more than enough — exactly what you need to start the day with a nice meal and a beautiful view 🌴 The hotel grounds are wonderfully green and well maintained, with two large swimming pools and plenty of comfortable sunbeds. The beach is beautiful, especially at high tide, and even at low tide it looks picturesque in its own way. The rooms are spacious, stylish, and bungalow-style — very cozy. Nearby there are small shops and nice cafés, and the hotel itself is located right next to the famous Kiwengwa Beach.
