Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. The apartment was finished to an exceptionally high standard, with fantastic facilities and superb internet. Having a dedicated office space was invaluable as I work remotely, and the swimming pools plus the wide breakfast selection made the experience even better. I would recommend The Oasis Residence without hesitation, especially for families. The staff were outstanding, consistently going the extra mile and truly enhancing our stay. A special mention goes to Joseph, who drove my wife and daughter with exceptional care while I was working. He is an incredibly safe and reliable driver, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing transport in the evenings, when taxis or tuk‑tuks can be difficult to find.

We stayed one night at Salida Beach. It is located a bit outside of the centre of Kizimkazi. By scooter, it takes you around 5 minutes to get to the main road and the main beach. The room was perfect. Every room has a little balcony or a terrace. It was superclean, the waterpressure was strong, and there was even a mini-fridge in the room. The ventilator is very fast and in gerneall the room was very well temperatured, no AC necessary at all. The wifi was stable and fast. The place has a generator, so there are no problems with powercuts. The area of Salida Beach is quite big, with a lot of trees which keep the place cool. There are some sunbeds directly at the coastline on the small cliff over the water, where you can watch the sunset or just relax. There is also a hammock. There is no sand beach, but stairs lead you down to the ocean if you want to swim, which I highly recommend, especially if it is high tide. The breakfast is out of this world. Everyone gets a big plate of fruits, then the eggs as you want them with guacamole and bread and 2 pancakes. For drinks, they had coffee, tea, and a very very good juice. There is the opportunity to have dinner at Salida Beach as well, but we did not try that. The staff was super friendly, they welcomed us, showed us the place, and were helpful with all our questions. We will definitely come again😁

We stayed at Zanzistar as a large family (grand-parents and two family sub-groups with many kids). The facilities are beautiful and give a wonderful beach holiday feel, it's secluded and quiet, with a beautiful pool and very well set-up eating spaces (both by the beach with a beach club and by the main area for dinner). The staff were very accomodating to our large food orders, early dinner hours, etc which was very appreciated. The family room was very pretty and comfortable.

Unlike many places on the island, the cosy atmosphere here has been preserved. All the staff were very friendly, helpful, and cheerful. The food was always great — and the cocktails were next level :) We were almost crying when we were leaving…

I really enjoyed the property for its prime location and the beautiful beachfront along the Indian Ocean. The views were lovely, and it was great to have such easy access to the beach. The local staff were also quite friendly and helpful, which added to the overall pleasant experience.

The location is just perfect, right next to the beach (literally down the stairs) and also close to many restaurants in the area. The staff was really helpful and there was room service daily. The tours they offer are also really nice and with reasonable price. The rooms have a fan that works just fine, and also it has a mosquito net in its windows. The WiFi also worked correctly most of the time.

It’s a very quiet location with not too many people on the beach with very few locals hassling you to buy stuff or go on trips. The accommodation is very rustic and gives a real Island feel. The staff are amazing. Every single one of them were very friendly and helpful.
