Zen Boutique Resort

Jambiani

Located in Jambiani, less than 1 km from Jambiani Beach, Zen Boutique Resort provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Among the various facilities of this property are a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation offers nightclub and a concierge service. A one of a kind place. We felt welcome and could relax and de-stress! We truly recommend this accommodation! Location: Although not at the beach, it’s literally a short stroll across the road. It also makes it a quite place, ideally to relax. Service: Staff was exceptionally welcoming and helped with all your questions. We were also happily surprised by the effort they do to reduce platsic waste. You can for example refill your waterbottle for free. Depending on the time and energy you want to put into negotiation during your holidays we do recommend to arrange an airportshuttle through uber or negotiate with a taxidriver at the airport itself. Booking a car for the whole week and picking it up in the airport is an even better idea. Also the laundry and daytours can be found cheaper (negotiate the trips by going with your own car) Room: The room is spacious, with a lovely outside bathroom, with good shower pressure and always hot water, airconditioning, silent refrigerator and water cooker with coffee and tea. Everyday your room is cleaned and you get clean towels for the bedroom + additional one’s for the swimmingpool. A plus was the fresh water refilled in a glass bottle everyday in the room included in the package. Breakfast: The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruits, granola, yoghurt, eggs, pancakes, smoothie, fresh baked sweets… the best!

I stayed only one night in Karibu Beach Resort, but the place is really amazing. I can recommend it for the best holiday in Zanzibar. The staff is super professional, they don’t disturb during my relaxing time there. The breakfast have many options, every day different kind of meal 🥘 The beach is quiet without beach boys with white sand and many coconut palms. I stayed also in Kiwengwa and there were a lot of Masai who disturbed me. Here in Karibu Beach Resort was really perfect for me. The place was new and they upgrade my room to Apartment 🙂 The room was clean and huge. I thank all staff the place for making my one day to be really perfect! I will come back!
