Location: it may be different for everyone. It is located in a small fishing village. Step outside Mambo paradise you will immediately find yourself in the middle of the locals and their lives. It is the true Zanzibar. Staffs: very friendly and helpful. Katja, the captain of the hotel, is a star. She arranged everything we requested, big or small and reacted swiftly to any situation (a late taxi, air conditioning issue, etc). Facilities and convenience: we have everything we expected for the region (Africa) and the price we paid. I like the fact that how the hotel is structured: a few steps up from the rooms you reached the beautiful restaurant/lounge/roof top balcony, with nice breeze throughout the day and a heavenly view of the sea; coming out the of room within a few meters you will come out to the pool, then the back door directly to the beach. Water refill on both floors. Activities: with Katja’s magical power, we have experienced amazing Zanzibar-only activities, and everyone of them went so well because of her tips and the guides she arranged.

With a bar, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and room service. 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!
