This place is as beautiful as the pictures. The staff is very warm/ friendly and very welcoming. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast selection was good. The hotel is at the beach front so u wake up to sea views ( sea facing rooms) and could take morning / early evening walks🌅. You can book your activities through the hotel. Most importantly the hotel is family friendly as well. Sea food platter was delicious 🤩

My wife and I visited Zanzibar for the first time in March 2025. We spent the first four days at the Infinity Boutique Hotel in Matembwe and were absolutely enchanted. I rarely give exceptional ratings, and certainly not for every checkbox, but this is exceptional to a degree that merits the rating. The property is new so everything is in excellent condition. It owned and managed by a couple that moved there from Poland to start the venture. Tomak and Margo are kind, warm, hospitable, and helpful hosts. My wife didn't have a hat for the harsh sun. Maggie loaned her one. There was a problem with a leak in our bathroom. Tomak ensured the problem was fixed quickly. I developed a slight sunburn on my head. Maggie brought aloe vera ointment without being asked. We did day trips to Ningwi and for snorkling near Mnemba Island. They organized everything and ensured flexibility to accommodate changing weather during the rainy season, when we were there (we recommend it). We were the only guests for one day and night. There was another couple on other days, but we really had the place to ourselves. It was tranquil and relaxing!! We were treated like family and felt that way. The bed was very comfortable. The AC is excellent. Excellent WiFi reception everywhere on the property. The views are breathtaking. I have marvelous sunrise pictures. The pool is spacious and was always available for a swim. The staff were cheerful, professional and very likeable. Several became friends. Sitting on the open-air covered terrace sipping a cold one and watching the tides roll in and out was our best memory of Zanzibar. The ocean is many shades of blue with white, fine sand. The meals were delicious. Chef Sultan made flawless dishes. Best fries I have ever had, including in Belgium.

I had a wonderful stay at Mambo Paradise. The atmosphere was relaxing, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall vibe of the hotel made it easy to unwind. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile, which made me feel at home right away. The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway, yet close enough to enjoy everything around. Overall, it was a truly enjoyable experience, and I would definitely recommend Mambo Paradise to anyone looking for comfort, hospitality, and a great stay.

Staying at Alladin was an unforgettable experience. What truly made this place stand out was the incredible staff. Khamis, Benito, Faraja, Mona, and the rest of the team made me feel like part of their family. Their warmth, kindness, and constant willingness to help turned this hotel into my home on Zanzibar. I stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every moment—relaxing by the pool, swimming in the sea (which was especially amazing from 3 PM onwards when it felt like a natural hot tub!), and simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. As a solo traveler, I always felt that someone from the hotel was looking out for me, which made my stay even more special. The rooms are perfect. The food was absolutely delicious! I ate at the restaurant almost every day, and there were plenty of great vegetarian options. Beyond the hotel itself, they took such great care of me when organizing excursions. Everything was arranged flawlessly—packed breakfasts, reliable taxis, excellent guides—it made exploring Zanzibar so easy and stress-free. This is the perfect place to feel at home in Zanzibar. The only downside? You won’t want to leave!

    Very good - What previous guests thought, 429 reviews
    Right on the beach, wonderful little place right next to the One Ocean dive centre. Stayed in the annex right next to the second pool, like our own private oasis. Very helpful staff and good food. The beach is wonderful for walks. Very peaceful and with the added bonus of live music or DJ most nights. Wonderful memories.
