We had a fantastic time at the resort, enjoying the beautiful beach and excellent service from the staff. The dining experience was great with a variety of options, though the beach vendors were a bit overwhelming at times. The rooms were spacious and clean, but they could use some updating. Overall, it was a valuable and memorable stay despite some minor hiccups.

I had mixed feelings about this resort. While the location has stunning views and the staff, particularly the butlers, were genuinely helpful, the overall experience was marred by service issues and underwhelming dining options. My room, despite being clean and fairly spacious, did not meet the expectations set by their advertising. Unfortunately, I left feeling that the value for money just wasn't there.

Rooms

The room was clean and had a decent view, but it did not match the advertised 'ocean view.' It was spacious enough for my family, which I appreciated.
Service

While some staff were extremely helpful, the overall service felt lackluster at times. We encountered issues with room changes that were not handled well, which dampened our experience.
Location

The hotel is beautifully situated, with breathtaking ocean views and a stunning beach early in the morning. However, the public access to the beach can be a bit uncomfortable in the afternoons due to persistent vendors.
Dining
5.0
The food was generally bland and not very flavorful. The variety could use improvement, and the 'Zanzibar' night was pretty disappointing, with the chef suggesting chili sauce instead of delivering authentic flavors.
Facilities
6.0
Facilities were limited, with primarily a pool area and some small gym equipment. There wasn't much in terms of activities or organized events, which was disappointing for a resort.

Our stay at the resort was mixed. The beach has potential for great views, but be prepared for constant solicitations from vendors. The room was decent, but we faced issues with the housekeeping staff not respecting our privacy. While the dining options were just average, the hotel facilities could use some improvements. Overall, it didn’t live up to our expectations for a luxurious getaway.

Gold Zanzibar Resort truly feels like paradise, with its breathtaking beach and wonderful amenities. The rooms are spacious and well laid out, perfect for enjoying sunset views. The staff is exceptionally friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. However, I did face a frustrating situation regarding a stolen item, which left a sour note on an otherwise fantastic trip. The dining experience was impressive, with a great variety of delicious meals, though it can get crowded during peak hours.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the beach was stunning and the amenities were impressive. The food was generally good, but I encountered some issues with the dining experience. The rooms had a lot of potential, but they needed better upkeep. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but not without its shortcomings.
