Zanzibar Magic Boutique Hotel

Very scenic location. Rooms were good. Bathroom spacious No jet spray in toilet. Water in basin and bath was salty. No elevator so not suitable for guest having physical challenges Restaurants was expensive Pool bit so clean Overall ok ok but good beach access

The hotel is very quiet, clean and charming; its structure suits perfectly the nature around it. The view is wonderful, with the white, soft sand lying just in front of you. The hotel offers also free activities such as yoga three times a week. Even bycicles are available in front of the reception. The quality of the toilet products is excellent and the food is very tasty. All the staff, expecially the receptionists and the barmen, are extremely professional and friendly. Thank you very much to Anja and all the managers. Clotilde and family (Italy)

The hotel was just perfect!! The beach bungalows are beautiful, comfortable and very clean. The food in the restaurant was extremly tasty and the stuff was so nice especialy the owner :) The swimming pool is nice and quiet and the beach is one step from there. The zanzibar magic boutique hotel is highly recommended!! We enjoyed very much from everything!!

I'm a bit ambivalent about writing this review as the hotel had its ups and downs. The good things first... a very nice beach front area with the garden, swimming pool, deck chairs, and the bar/restaurant. The staff were very courteous and helpful throughout. There were kayaks and bicycles to borrow, which I recommend doing. But then the biggest letdown were the rooms. The website boasts comfortable 35 m2 rooms. In reality they are pretty cramped and, if you stay on the ground floor, very dark. They are nowhere near the advertised 35 m2 unless you factor in the bathroom and the veranda in the equation. Then the food... we only had a few meals here as we were on B&B but it was hit or miss. The seafood was very good, but then we had a couple of different chicken dishes that were below average. There's really no reason to go for a full board plan as there are numerous lodges and local shacks within walking distance that offer excellent dining options. All in all the hotel was not bad to stay at, but we got the impression that the "boutique" part of the name was slapped on for being able to charge higher rates than are motivated by what is on offer.

Wir waren im Anschluss an mehrere Safaris auf dem tansanischen Festland im Zuge unserer Flitterwochen dort und hatten die Honeymoon-Suite. Das Hotel war traumhaft schön, vor allem nicht zu groß, sondern überschaubar und der Umgang dementsprechend persönlich. Alle waren total freundlich und zuvorkommend, es war alles sehr gepflegt und sauber. Das Essen war hervorragend, in Kombination mit dem Blick aufs Meer beim Essen unschlagbar. Können wir nur empfehlen!

Nach unserer Safari haben wir uns 5 Tage hier erholt. Wer Ruhe, Sauberkeit, herzliche Menschen und eine herausragende Küche sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir hatten eine SeaView Suite für 3 Personen. Das Zimmer war vollkommen ausreichend und immer sauber. Als die Klimaanlage einmal nicht funktioniert hat, wurde sie sofort repariert. Das gesamte Personal ist immer freundlich, gut gelaunt und gibt sein Allerbestes. Wir hatten Halbpension gebucht und das Essen jeden Tag genossen. Der tägliche Fisch war ein Muss und das Frühstück mit Strandblick einfach nur traumhaft.
