I recently spent a delightful week at the Zanzibar Bay Resort in Uroa, and I must say, it was an amazing stay from start to finish.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the warm smiles of the staff, setting a welcoming tone for our entire stay. Our journey from the ferry terminal to the resort, facilitated by a private transfer service, was smooth and well-organized, taking only 45 minutes.
Throughout our stay, the culinary experience was a highlight. The buffet-style meals offered a variety of options, allowing us to indulge in both international and Tanzanian cuisine. Each day brought new programs and activities for guests to enjoy, including enlightening Maasai dances that provided insight into their rich culture and traditions. In the evenings there were traditional dance performances. Massai too!
The resort's beachfront location was simply soothing, perfect relaxation. The all-inclusive package had variety of drinks and cocktails to enjoy. Additionally, the attentive staff made sure to inquire about our comfort during daily housekeeping, even offering mosquito control services in the evenings.
For those seeking adventure, the resort provided a range of tourist programs, from snorkeling excursions to island trips and boat rides, with options to suit everyone.
What stood out was the staff's friendly and informative approach, never being pushy but always eager to share insights and assist with arrangements.
Moreover, the resort boasted amenities such as a gym and spa, adding to the overall experience of relaxation and rejuvenation.
The experience at the Zanzibar Bay Resort was nothing short of fantastic. The combination of excellent service, diverse activities, and serene surroundings made for an unforgettable stay. I would wholeheartedly recommend this resort to anyone seeking a truly memorable getaway and would undoubtedly choose to stay here again!

I highly recommend the B&B of Paola. I have never experienced such a warm welcome and continous support. The room was perfectly clean, well furnished, good wifi. The bed was comfortable. The sheets smelled good. I had daily cleaning. I loved the huge fruit plate received for each breakfasts. If you look for a calm place close to the ocean book your accomodation here. Big thanks to Paola, to the cleaning lady, the gardener n the security guard- Yes, there is even a guard.

The most We liked at the resort was the swimming pools and the food. Very big Jetty, bars, etc. worth staying.

There is no restaurant.
There is no restaurant. The WIFI did not function, the tv did not function. There was no hot water. The staff didn't respond to any issues just laughed. They could not even provide a receipt. I was over charged and am still seeking a refund and they tried to take money on arrival having said they had taken funds in advance. There were people walking around with 14 inch knives on their belts. The hotel forced guests to wear irremovable wrist bands as if Alzheimer patients. The local beach is unpleasant, which is rare for Zanzibar, which is full with beautiful beaches. There were a group of women sat outside my window all day neither guest nor staff. If you risk booking please be advised that this is a remote location, if there is no scope to go elsewhere you will be compelled to stay. There are many other wonderful establishments on this island catering for all manner of needs and pockets.

Its about and hour and a half from Zanzibar city.
Its about and hour and a half from Zanzibar city.
Nothing much around we found a local restaurant and a grocery about 20min driving from the place we stayed.
You get very small local restaurants on the way and small local shops which we didn't stop and have look.
People are friendly and helpful.
Get your own alcohol from Zanzibar its cheaper.
Don't carry alcohol from Tanzania to Zanzibar as its prohibited but you can buy it from Zanzibar.
Unlike Paje where you get hotels bars restaurants shopping and activities, Uroa is very quiet and mainly has beach hotels.

The hotel is a resort and has everything you could need. We don't bother going in to Uroa as there is no need. We come for the hotel not the nearby town. Beaches are lovely nd people generally very friendly.

The sea and the air in Uroa are just fantastic.
The sea and the air in Uroa are just fantastic. A small danger though - you can meet a jellyfish in the sea and get painfully stinged.
A small walk away one can also find some local shops and some fruit sellers with ripe pineapples and watermelons.. ..and you can buy local sightseeing or dolphin watching trips either right at the hotel or just in beach. Cold drinks are available right at the hotel. So a wonderful place for just a relaxation.. ..if you want to often visit Zanzibar City shops, market, nightlife and sights, then it might be just a bit far.
I would stay there any time again...

This is not a hotel, it's a house at the beach (!), run by a man that is manager, service personel and almost everything else (there are two maids that clean the rooms daily and cook the food).
If you're looking for an AirBnB-like atmosphere, this place is recommendable yet expensive. Uroa beach is not recommendable as there are much nicer ones in Zanzibar.

This hotel is very comfortable and the right one to relax...
This hotel is very comfortable and the right one to relax for a certain time. But there are two issues I did not appreciate very much. First, since the owner of this hotel is Italian and most of the guests are Italian, Italian language is dominating. As if it were natural the whole staff and even the hotel bus tour guide adresses you in Italian. This might give a familiar feeling to the most but not for everyone. Also the menue is rather concentrated on Italian food. This is not what I expected from a stay in Africa.
Second: Amazing is the white sand beach in front of the hotel area. Unfortunately the beach is mostly covered with sea grass. Sometimes they remove the grass to the edges of the hotel area but it comes back with the next high tide. As I was informed they use to bring it out to another place but this did not happen during my stay.
Amazing hotel- we were a group of 6 people and all of us are fully satisfied.
We once had a problem with the water and the staff fixed it in 5 minutes- this is all the bad things I can say :D
The food at the restaurant is great, the staff is very polite and smiling, the rooms were cleaned every day and sprayed against insects. Overall the hotel is great- you wake up, open your door, pass through a frangipani and you are on the beach! Really amazing place for friends or for couples :)
The ambiance and the reception area was amazing.
Food super tasty, and the surprise they prepared for us in the room was so so beautiful. I have nothing bad to say. If you know where is Uroa you know the location is not perfection, but they have amazing excursion service very personalized, and private tour, we loved it.
The staff was lovely and very helpful at all times
Also during dinner they have shows, like the acrobatic show , and it’s very entertaining
Disclaimer! A 10 rating will probably never be had by me without paying a lot. So, i rate this a solid 7, which in my book, is good to really good.
Hosts were fantastic. Zanzibar was not what i was expecting, and Kau, Shany and Pilly really made my time there more enjoyable.
A/C! It's a must for northerners in the Zanzibar climate.
Food on demand.
Beds were hard. But, they were high-density foam of some sort. I liked the mattresses, but some may not.
Pool facilities, Premium room around the pool, most staff were super friendly and helpful, and cleanliness was great.
Richard the GM was very accommodating and helpful.
We took the Fully Inclusive package which is worth it if you are want to drink all day and aren't fussy about drinking local products. But if you plan on doing lots of sight seeing/spending time out of the hotel, then the breakfast only option would probably be more cost effective.
Very quit and beautyfull place. Beach was very quiet. The Staff was very friendly and aways helpfull. They always took good care of us.
Our room was ok, the bathroom would need a renovation, but the rest of the room was very simple but totally fine for us and we did not expect a 4 Star hotel. If you want to relax and don't need the typical touristic spots, this good place to stay.
Wonderful, peaceful place right on the beach, very clean and neat with private garden beach for the property, away from public beach and the bach boys. Pawe, the owner was most helpful in directing me for further exploration of Zanzibar. The staff was very nice and attentive but leaving just the right amount of privacy, not intrusive as is the case in so many hotels.
The Beach access to watch the sunrise is amazing, Masai security everywhere feeling safe, Animation Team are awesome every night, The buffet and food Option plus the Personal service is the Best.
I also recommend the Massage at the Spa.
Most of my excursions been booked with the hotel Thank you so much for everything
It is an international hotel, a mixture of originality and modernity, wonderful landscapes, excellent and nice receptionists. The food is very delicious and the atmosphere is very pleasant. I advise everyone to try this wonderful and unique hotel. I myself will return again. The place is worth more than a visit.
Staff was exceptional, really great view and perfect hotel for a peaceful weekend. The breakfast was nice with fresh juice, fruits, eggs and toasts. The dinner served has a great choice and it's lovely to eat right on the ocean.
I can highly recommend it!
It wasnt what i expected. quite a stench in the air. however the management was great, they moved me to their sister hotel next door complimentary due to a very long delay to my room. the next door hotel was amazing!
Beautiful B&B in a nice, little village. Nearby resorts offer great food and nightly shows. You’ll require a taxi to get to other parts of the island. Excellent place to stay to relax in Zanzibar!
The staff were really kind and helpful it felt like home, not crowded and its a beach front hotel. The area is secluded and far from town therefore very private and good for relaxing.
I loved the overall ambiance of the the Beach B&B and the adjacent hotels and restaurants. The nice houses and hotel building surrounded by trees and the white sand is awesome!
