My wife and I found a little bit of paradise at Royal Mandarin Resort! Very very nice property. We booked this room for five nights following our Serengeti Safari in the hope of some beach relaxation. We got that and so much more!

This is a lovely quiet each front hotel, we stepped from our door onto the sand. Roo.s are good and the staff were wonderful! We stayed in four hotels in zanzibar, the staff here are exceptional, very attentive and friendly. Hotel even supprised us with a free trip to the 'rock resaurant' and star fish beach! We would stay again in a heart beat...

Incroyable séjour au paradis! Nous avons passé deux semaines en famille (7 personnes) au royal mandarin. Paysages à couper le souffle, magnifique plage, chambres spacieuses et très propres, restauration excellente et variée. Tout était parfait! Mais ce qui a surtout rendu ce séjour exceptionnel, c’est la gentillesse et l’amabilité de tout le personnel de l’hôtel, depuis les femmes de chambres jusqu’au top management. Un grand merci à Nader et Jacques de la direction, Hanna et Ahmed qui nous ont régalé au restaurant, Mc Donald, Fausta, Anna, Gatty, Nasra, Grace, Stella, Veronica, Tumain, Godefrey, Ashim, Martha, Leocadia, et tout le staff (désolés si nous avons oublié certains noms…). Nous avons déjà beaucoup voyagé dans de nombreux pays et dans de nombreux hôtels, mais notre séjour au royal mandarin est probablement l’une de nos meilleures expériences ! Encore merci à tous!

In die Jahre gekommen; Zimmer nicht sauber; gutes Essen und Cocktails

10/10 Exceptional

Das Hotel ist nicht so groß und damit sehr übersichtlich und sehr persönlich. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und motiviert. Das gastronomische Angebot ist vielfältig und reichhaltig. Das Abendessen wird meist im Hauptrestaurant aber auch mal am Strand, am Pool oder im Sense of Afrika Restaurant durchgeführt, Unser Zimmer (Familienzimmer) war sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet, Die Betten waren sehr bequem und ein Mückenschutz ist überall vorhanden, Es wurde täglich gereinigt und abends wurde das Zimmer noch zusätzlich für die Nacht vorbereitet.

Wir haben einen Ort zum entschleunigen und entspannen gesucht und mit dem Royal Mandarin zu Beginn der Regenzeit einen schönen Treffer gelandet. Zimmer, Aussicht, Strand & Verpflegung sind klasse! Ganz besonders positiv ist die Gästebetreuung! Ahmed und Mohammad sind grossartig und schaffen mit ihrem Team eine Wohlfühlatmosphäre und (King)-Charles macht lecker Cocktails!
