Mtende Vacations from AED5,977

The staff were lovely. A massive shout out to Innocent who served us during our romantic beach dinner and also went above and beyond the following night for beach buffet dinner. An honourable mention to Sufiyan or Sufiyani I cannot remember his name properly but really great service at Bar & Grill restaurant. Hotel amenities were great with good food at both buffet restaurants. Only downside was that they could not guarantee us late checkout, however, the use of the showers and changing rooms alleviated this.

The property was beautiful. We stayed in a beachfront villa Y3. Everyone was amazing from Tess at the front desk to Emile and Esther in the restaurants. They made our anniversary very special. So thankful. Omer on checkout was amazing as well.

The staff was overly friendly, very accommodating and kind. I really enjoyed the staff there. The amenities were great. The performances were awesome. Jambo was also a nice get away. I love the access to both resorts.

This property was clean and offered various dining options. While I did not utilize the restaurants that required reservations, I did use the main dining option (Maisha, I believe). After a few days, I was tired of the food. In my opinion, every buffet should have chicken, and I did not see chicken on every lunch and dinner buffet. Also, the flies were all over foods that were not hot (some fruit and other room temperature items such as bread). I threw one piece of bread out due to the flies. They should invest in the food umbrellas that can cover food from flies. There were several pools and, of course, access to the beach. Since it is now the rainy season, I did not see any activities advertised for children during the rain. Also, the tiles around the hotel, especially on the stairs, were extremely dangerous when wet. There were no handrails, and the tiles were very slippery. I almost fell a few times. Finally, some staff did not speak much English. I asked one staff member in the restaurant if I could have an egg white omelet, and after several attempts, he still did not understand my request. All that said, I would stay again, but not during the rainy season.

The Mora Zanzibar is an excellent hotel. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of small issues. First the room cleaning service was mediocre. The additional services are pricey. The staff at the Horizon was amazing which made the stay that more enjoyable. They offer a variety of restaurants but you need to book through the app prior to arriving others you may be out of luck. Overall great stay and I would recommend to family and friends.
