Beautiful authentic hotel, with an amazing private beach that looks like it was taken out of a postcard. Thanks to the bay, the low tide was soft, relatively to the east and south sides of Zanzibar. Great restaurant with a beautiful view and varied food. The hotel highlight in our opinion was the staff - always kind and smiling, willing to help with any request.

It has been my second stay at Santa, but for sure not the last one. The place is amazing for relaxation and experiencing the lazy, beach holiday at a true paradise. Santa Maria makes you feel like home, and the staff - like the part of their family. In particular, special credit to Sarah, Jeni and Musa for how they made us feel very welcome at all times. Along with the rest of the staff, they're making Santa a place you will be eagerly coming back to. Also, the food is delicious! They have one of the best octopus I have ever had.

    Really nice breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, cereals, egg station etc. Friendly staff. Decent sized pool (about 18m long). Great location, right on the beach which was great for a long walk. "The Club" which is located at the end of the long boardwalk/pier has a very good restaurant, and you can also rent kayaks there and play pool. The room was large with a comfortable balcony.
