Mantra Zanzibar

Save your money! Almost $600 a night and it was dirty. Nothing worked on the tv. Couldn’t even hot spot to it. A tv that did nothing. Wanted to watch a movie and the tv was a box of useless. Dreadful wifi network which was what we suspect the problem was. For $600 a night you should expect reliable wifi, a tv that works, a clean apartment and receptionist that gives a stuff. We’ll go elsewhere.

This was our 7th extended stay at Zanzibar and again enjoyed all aspects of our stay. Our 2 br apartment had been recently refurbished and had all new appliances. Air con was very effective and apartment had all the facilities one wants for an extended stay. Booking, checking in & checking out was seamless and undercover secured parking is a big plus, as parking around The Esplanade is very restricted. Cyclone Alfred was approaching over our last few days there. Communications & preparations from Zanzibar Management was exceptionally good. Our only disappointment was the wifi. Reception was very weak & could only connect if sitting at the table in the middle of the apartment. IN previous stays, we have not experienced any issue with wifi. We have flagged this to management in our feedback to them. We highly recommend Mantra Zanzibar ..excellent location, excellent service, well priced and very clean & well equipped apartments to stay in

Fantastic Location! We chose a 3 bedroom penthouse to enable us to have plenty of space and enjoy the roof top area. Unfortunately the stair case to the roof top area was quite precarious and as such we found ourselves not wishing to ascend and descend the stair case very often. The main pool area is located at the back of the building and lacked any resort feel. Ok if you just wanted a dip to cool down but not a great place to relax. The building is quite old but the unit we had did have renovations completed and it was quite nice.

Overall, a great place to stay. Position was fabulous, view amazing, unit was spacious and comfortable. Staff were pleasant. Only real issue was the room was not ready for checkin on time (no explanation, apology or compensation).

Great Location, comfy beds, amazing views. The 2 bed apartment is well laid out with plenty of room. Beds are very comfortable. Location is fab with lots of restaurants, cafes etc right outside on the esplanade. The pool area is no resort pool but ok for a cool off. Not enough lounges, it needs a bit of tlc and it’s rather small. Beach is right across the road but you do have to walk up a small way to get to the patrolled area.

Great location Excellent location right above the beach, shops and restaurants. Good sized, well-appointed two-bedroom apartment. Pool is located at the back of the building so no beach view from there but we enjoyed it anyway. BBQ facilities (namely accessories, cleaning equipment) around pool need updating.
