Ryokans in Tanzania

"Hyari and the fitness managers were great. The food was excellent as well as all of the food management staff. The pool and scenery was excellent. Only problem was that there was a glitch in expedia booking causing me to double book. Even though the hotel was informed in advance and contacted my Expedia to change this they refused to refund. That is dirty and the truly don't need the money that bad to do something like that."

"Incredible stay. Great food, views and scuba diving!"

"Very nice accommodation, everything in walking distance. Beautiful beach below the restaurant. Food excellent.Had a problem with the air con but was upgraded. Hotel uses European electric sockets, not Tanzanian sockets. Can get adaptors from Reception. But bring European adaptors."

"From the moment we stepped into Lux* Hotel Zanzibar, we knew we were in for an extraordinary experience. The hotel itself is breathtaking, but what truly sets it apart is the staff—easily the friendliest I’ve ever encountered in my life. A heartfelt thank you to Pina, who welcomed us with such warmth and grace. Her attention to detail and personal touches made our stay feel incredibly special. Pina’s genuine care and energy elevated our entire experience, and it’s safe to say she’s the heart of the hospitality at Lux*. Another standout was Fadna at the Lux* Café. Her Zanzibar Iced Coffee is a must-try—absolutely divine and the perfect reflection of the local flavors. Fadna’s passion for her craft shines through in every sip and interaction, making each visit to the café a delightful experience. Lux* Hotel Zanzibar provided not just a place to stay but a collection of unforgettable memories. The incredible staff, especially Pina and Fadna, turned our vacation into something truly magical. This was, without a doubt, the most memorable hotel visit of my life, and I can’t recommend Lux* Zanzibar enough. If you’re lucky enough to stay here, be sure to seek out Pina and Fadna—they will make your visit unforgettable! "

"I’m so happy I decided to spend my 30th Birthday here!! Everyone was so nice and showed great hospitality! Irene the front desk staff was so sweet and accommodating. The food at the main restaurant was pretty good and I didn’t even bother trying out the other two restaurants. I will definitely be returning!!"

"They have very nice food"
