Amazing staff who looked after us so attentively throughout with amazing and friendly service which made the holiday. The property is immaculate on a beautiful beach setting. Very quiet and perfect for a relaxing break. Food was varied and kept interesting. Fantastic breakfasts in particular though meat and fish dishes were a bit disappointing - generally very tough and left us feeling guilty at having to leave food that could’ve been improved. But overall a fantastic stay and would not hesitate to return

Our family of 4 just stayed in the Grand Ocean suite for 9 nights and we were blown away with how nice and helpful the staff were. First this resort is so CLEAN. The room was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. Great showers and baths with very hot water and great water pressure. The mini bar was always stocked with beer sodas and waters… The resort felt very safe… there was always security at the front gate and down by the beach. There is only 1 restaurant but they offer so many options every day… for the first 7 nights we had the buffet which had at least 30 different things to choose from… I am a picky eater and allergic to many spices but I was able to find something to eat and the chef made me plain pasta when requested… my family loves spices so they enjoyed it all… there was always pasta, beef, chicken, and fish dishes to choose from. The last few nights they set up candlelight dinners around the property so we ate in the garden and by the pool those nights and ordered from a menu of options. The property is beautiful… the website pictures really don’t convey how nice it is, especially the beach area. The tides do go out pretty far everyday so there are times when you can’t swim in ocean but the stretch of beach to walk down is magnificent and there are so many beautiful shells to find. There are hundreds of sea urchins in waters in Zanzibar so bring water shoes. The staff is so attentive and proactively reaching out to help with anything

CAVEAT EMPTOR!
BUYER BEWARE!
Claiming to be a 5-star resort, they struggled to be 3 stars filled with short comings.
To begin D of Z is definitely not disabled person friendly as there are stairs everywhere except into the pool where you must enter down a wall ladder.
Bars and dining rooms are on the second floors or at least a few stairs up.
Food was INEDIBLE.
We lived on rolls, tomato and cucumber for 2 weeks. There was nothing to tempt us at all. Soup was hit and miss. Grilled meat in the evening was dire as were the pizza squares and brochette (white toast with chopped tomato, I think)
Breakfast was ok as they offered fresh omelettes and waffles (if you asked for a fresh one and not the cold rubbery ones off of the buffet.)
Lunches and dinners were always cold and over cooked. Chatting with the other guests we found that this was the complaint from everyone.
Spices were not existent which was strange as spices are one of Zanzibar's high points.
On one of our first nights, we went to the roof-top bar, the bartender left us sitting at the bar for 15 minutes without acknowledging us. When I commented that we would like a drink he responded with
\"You are not the only person in the bar\"
There were only 2 other people there!
The resort also had limited internet making checking emails almost impossible.
The rooms and bathrooms are beautifully designed, large and spacious.
Dream of Zanzibar is not 5 star but more like a Nightmare off Tanzania.

Good standard of cleanliness in rooms, beds turned down every night, as well as spraying with repellant every evening. All team were super friendly, especially Joyce, Generozza, Happiness- all first class. Pascal-head chef, always wanted feedback to ensure all food met expectations- which was varied, fr3sh and really tasty. Would highly recommend and would certainly think about coming back.

Overall, this is a beautiful boutique hotel. I booked it last minute and was pretty happy with the aesthetic. The staff was amazing — very polite, attentive, and appreciative of our needs.
The only issue I had was with the food. Everything was overcooked, and each chafer at breakfast was nearly empty, with only about 1–2 servings left in each. It was disappointing. I also ordered fish sticks from the bar, and they came out much darker than expected. At first, I assumed that was just their style, until I saw another guest receive a perfectly golden-brown order.
Overall, I liked the hotel, but I wouldn’t stay

Beautiful hotel next to an amazing beach with a great pool and bar. The service is excellent, the rooms and bathrooms are big and comfortable. The location is convenient, it’s a good value because everything is included. I’ll definitely stay here again. The only issue is the water pressure in the shower. Loved this place, thank you to all the staff for making me feel at home.

Food was excellent - particularly prawn grill nights, service very attentive. All inclusive took the pressure off finding food locally. While the beach was cleaned each day, there is an unfortunate amount of rubbish from the locals - not something the hotel can control.
More access to water would have been good.
Many minor repairs are needed, like taps, locks air con, but as they say in Africa pole pole.
Great stay, we enjoyed the hotel.

We recently stayed at Dream of Zanzibar and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean, offering a relaxing and well-maintained space. The all-inclusive meal plan offered a nice variety of options, from local dishes to international favorites, all of which were tasty and satisfying.

The pool area was a nice spot to relax and enjoy the tropical setting. Service was friendly and attentive throughout my stay. Considering the affordable rates, I was impressed by the overall quality of the hotel, especially the food and service.

All in all, Dream of Zanzibar offers great value for the price, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Zanzibar.

A perfect place to relax!

A truly exceptional hotel! The second you arrive, the staff are courteous and kind. Nothing is too much for them and they all make attempts to learn your name for a personal experience.

The pool/beach area was perfect, with plenty of sunbeds to avoid a morning rush. Arrive at any time of the day and there are many beds available.

The food and drink is great - with a different variety each night to avoid repetitiveness.

The rooms are all very large. They offer a turndown service each evening.

The grounds are very well maintained and everything is just perfect to have a few days relaxing.

Will 100% be returning for a relaxing few days.

Great facilities, very nice staff, various new food every day. The only remark is the beach which witnesses a very high tide, so swimming is impossible in the morning till around 2PM. But you can use this time to visit the island. Other than that, everyone is helpful and attends to your needs. Definitely recommend.

My stay at Dream of Zanzibar was fantastic! The suite was incredibly spacious, clean, and accommodating. The staff made sure the refrigerator stayed fully stocked, which was a nice touch. Although the food could have been more diverse, it was still good during my stay. I appreciated that room service was available 24 hours, with a specific list of foods to choose from, making dining convenient. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but there's room for improvement in the food variety department.

Not quiet Dream but pretty much ok for an all-in.

The restaurant is very dismal. They only allow food on the second floor which makes it very restricted on seating etc. Some staff are clearly not interested in serving guests. There's very restricted option on drinks (non-alcoholic). In the breakfast there's no orange juice. Food itself is ok. The lighting in the second floor is really not for a dinner environment. It feels really like a mess-hall for a dinner. They need to open the first floor so people can sit on the patio area on the bar to eat etc. What is up with the restriction? The after drinks can also be served directly from the bar so employees don't have to walk up and down for a glass of wine etc.

Don't miss out on the movie nights on the beach. This was my personal highlight of the stay, and also the room service convenience (albeit no real options of food). The beach itself isn't really nice to swim (the sand is too muddy, but locals had no issues, also they recommend not to walk barefoot on the sand --> theres' some type of spikes around (natural?) the beach area.

Do not stay on Sunday nights here as the neighboring hotel will blast music till 0100 am. The staff even hate this, but the management obviously have given up on this issue. (Wednesdays too)

Try to get a second floor room or a first floor room away from the stairways. You just get more privacy. Swimming in the pool just 1 hour before sunset is the best time. No one around and quiet. There was a lot of breeze during our stay.
