Good value for money resort. Service was very good. We had a late flight and they gave us a free room to have a shower instead of using the pool shower. Really appreciated it. Location is very quite and relaxing, but a bit away from any other places.

L’hôtel est très beau. Le nettoyage est également parfait. Piscine incroyable, la plus profonde de Zanzibar.

We were very disappointed with our stay. When you book a holiday to relax, the last thing you want is to arrive at a hotel where construction work is going on all day. This was definitely not what we expected from a “luxury” hotel — and there was absolutely no information provided about it beforehand. We also noticed mold on the toothpicks, which was very unpleasant. The food, especially the meat, was really poor in quality. The fish and meat were always very dry. The breakfast was always the same and didn’t offer many options. The all-inclusive selection is quite limited and not very varied, especially if you stay for more than a week. Many things are not included, and it becomes annoying to eat and drink the same options repeatedly — particularly when the taste changes every time, since the dishes are prepared differently each day. The pool water was also very dirty, and the Wi-Fi connection was constantly lagging. On a positive note, the staff were very kind and respectful throughout our stay.

The experience was amazing. The hotel has extraordinary scenery, with largest pool in Zanzibar and beautiful beach. We spent 9 days with a family of 7 people. It is a mid size hotel with great amenities and a splendid staff all here to smile and provide you an excellent experience. The food is high quality and chief keeps changing it everyday. They have good night shows. Special thanks to all staff members and specially to Amour and Mohamed for their continuous kindness and hospitality and Salim for his advices and making our son feeling so special for his 20’s birthday. Karibu sana

We stayed at The One Resort in Makunduchi, in the quiet south-east of Zanzibar, and absolutely loved the peaceful vibe. It’s a bit remote (which we liked), so if you’re looking for a break from the crowds and want to truly unwind, this is a great pick. The setting is beautiful, lovely pool area with a swim-up bar, stylish and spacious rooms, and great food. Both the buffet and à la carte menus were excellent (I’d seen other reviews mention the food being top-notch, and they were right). The staff were friendly and attentive throughout, and the evening entertainment was varied and surprisingly good without being over-the-top. The only downside for me was the mattress, extremely firm, almost like sleeping on a board. Might be fine if you like that, but as a side sleeper I didn’t sleep great. Otherwise, the room was lovely and clean. The hotel can arrange tours, but we chose to explore on our own with a great local taxi driver. We swam with turtles, visited Paje, and went to The Rock restaurant, all easily doable with a bit of planning. If you’re after a chilled out place with good food, great service, and no big crowds, this place is a solid choice. Just be prepared for the remote location, and maybe ask about a mattress topper if you’re picky about beds!

Nicely located hotel with a large swimming pool and a bar with delicious drinks , Good food but little variety , Not much fruit for this part of the world . The internet and air conditioning in the room were poor. In the evenings, boiling water flows from the shower and cannot be cooled down. Great animations and evening shows
