Our holiday was awesome at the hotel. We really appreciate our host Samir who helped us with everything. He showed us the hotel and answered our questions. He is very friendly and joyful. If you need any help you can always find him in the reception and I’m sure he will be happy to help you or to show you around. The stuff was amazing too specially Aziza. The food is great as well as the rooms are very clean . This is the best place to stay in Zanzibar.💕

Located in Matemwe, 600 metres from Matemwe Beach, Haber Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Among the various facilities of this property are a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

The room was very big and comfortable. Breakfast was awesome, big and many options. Very good food the the hotel. Friendly and helpful owners. The hotel is not right on the beach but the beach is very close, it is a walking distance or you can also use a free bike. That was actually the reason why we selected this hotel as you may use bikes to get to some other nearest locations/beaches without any extra cost. Still, you probably need to be aware that during the day it will be very hot and a bike adventure might be a challenge, and at night the road will be the darkest place on Earth. If you plan to use the bikes bring your own light. The ones at the hotel didn't have any lights which seemed to be a rule on Zanzibar.

Among the facilities at this property are room service and a concierge service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The resort features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, evening entertainment and a kids' club.

This is, without any doubt, the BEST resort/hotel I ever been to. The staff, food, facilities, cleanlines, comfort, location and value for money is 10/10. When I first stepped into the resort with my family, our breath were taken away from us, it was so beautiful that we just stood there and making WOW noises and our kids felt at home! Staff The staff were proffesional, friendly and very helpful. Every member of the team was kind, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Some in particular to mention are Steven Kagoma, Rosemary Natse and Khalfan Mbarouk from food and beverage in the main restaurant, their smile, engagement and attention to details made our dinning experience in the main restaurant unforgettable. Food The quality of the food served were incredible. Every meal was delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit every palate. The main chef was so kind and really carea about the customers Activities The hotel itself prepares many activities to keep guests entertained. The Dolphin kids club was the highlight to our childrens, the largest indoor and outdoor playground where our children spent hours and did not want to leave the place. A big thanks to Viola Richard (Guest relations manager) for coordinating with the staff and celebrating my birthday with wonderful songs in the main restaurant and a delicious cake. And also for the snacks we got when checking out. Her generosity and kindness will not be forgotten. Overall, our stay at your resort was a wonderful experience and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable gateaway. Thank you Emerald Resort & Spa for providing such a great experience and memorable vacation! See you soon again!

    We had a wonderful stay at Ocean views villas in north Matemwe. The villas are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you need. The private garden and pool are perfect for relaxing. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail. The breakfast is delicious and varied, and the location is ideal for exploring the beautiful Matemwe beach and the nearby attractions. We highly recommend Ocean views villas for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Zanzibar.

    The owner is very nice, helpful and will give you all recommendations you need. She even allow me to use her phone to call the airline company and change a flight. The location is ideal, next to a very nice beach, diving centre and some bars and restaurants. The bungalow is big enough, very clean (it gets cleaned every day). The fans which help with the heat. Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, eggs, a small salad, and toasted bread. It’s simple but what you need. Thanks again
