By far my favorite

Such a beautiful property. So many privat spots all on their property. The whole hotel is about ecologically friendly design with much love for details. The staff is very knowledgeable, genuine and friendly. Food was excellent. There are two restaurants to choose from one being Vietnamese. They have two spas and a variety of fitness classes, yoga and a jungle gym. I would recommend it to everyone to stay there for a few days.

Best stay in Jambiani

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this beautiful boutique hotel. The location, room and beach are just stunning and exceeded our expectations. We like exploring and trying different places while on holiday, however we returned to Sharazād for dinner most days as their food and cocktails were just the best - especially when it comes to vegetarian options. Variety of breakfast and lunch/dinner changed daily, so we were spoilt with choices. Staff was helpful and approachable at all times and we felt very well looked after. Hoping to return to Sharazād Villas very soon.

Good resort with a little to gain still

A nice resort, but mainly for romantic couples I believe. As so many places in Zanzibar the food was not up to standards as I am used to, but it is fair. The prices for extra services such as laundry was VERY expensive compared to other hotels/resorts I visited in Zanzibar. And.. of course the staff.... For English speakers they were friendly, polite and nice. But (also as so many other places in Zanzibar) when they spoke Swahili among themselves they gave bad characteristics both of the guests and the owner. Lot of not so good voicing when they believe you cannot understand them.

Lovely hotel but needs air con

My husband and I enjoyed our stay, the service from the manager Hanis was personable and professional. The beach is not great for swimming due to the amount of seaweed but it is lovely to swim there, just needs to be timed. The food is lovely and the area quiet. Disappointly , the room did not have any air conditioning, just two fans. In high temperatures like what we experienced we feel this is a must.

Little piece of paradise

I loved my stay from start to finish. The staff was amazing and so welcoming I felt like a princess. Communication was easy with WhatsApp and that made everything even more effortles. They made my stay so comfortable that I really was sad to leave. This place truly is a little piece of paradise. The beach is really beautiful and even though the tides are pretty strong you can swim when the tide is high in the morning. The food at the restaurant was really good, and everything was made with such care that every plate was beautiful and tasty. Only problem I had was that sound proofing in the rooms was not the best, so if you are a light sleeper I would recommend some earplugs just in case.
