Tikitam Palms Boutique Hotel

I stayed at a few hotels in Zanzibar and here it is different - they preserved original bush with its fragrances , enriched with flowers and some local endemic plants , banana tress etc . Authentic African style architecture is placed inside this tropical botanical garden , with tastefully decorated rooms, each has a different theme and local art or decoration. Almost a private pool on the secluded beach, drinking a real coconut water makes it wonderfully relaxing and the life slows down….The cuisine is absolutely delicious. At evening dinner they have some life shows - I enjoyed Zanzibar traditional tharab music band . Must see.

Indeed as somebody wrote before - this is a beautiful place with beautifull people . Surrounded with authentic African design and art , privat und relaxing. Food is very good - so tasty and varied and chef makes to your taste - thank Mr Muba. Great place to relax

Idyllic Boutique Hotel on the east coast of Zanzibar. The best hotel we’ve ever been to!Everything was very special. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The food is delicious. The rooms and pool are spotlessly clean. Ideally situally for diving at Mnemba and sightseeing. This is our 2nd visit and we will return again.

Few suites makes the time in Zanzibar a quiet relaxing rest after safaris. Beautifully decorated. Great food with a different specialty buffet menu each night by the ancient baobab hearing bushbabys around. What i missed was getting into the ocean. The beach is so small but in the morning you can walk an have the water at your ankles and see a lot of incredible sealife and reach small white sand banks. The room was simply perfect and private. Stayed at the Sultan Room. The staff give you extra attention to all your need. Excellent service. Far away from nearest town. Like 10 minutes drive.

We had 4 wonderful days at Tikitam Palms in complete peace and tranquility. There weren't many guests when we were there, so we usually had the entire pool area to ourselves and felt almost alone in the world during the daytime. There were a few more guests in the evening for dinner, which was pleasant. The area was absolutely fantastic with beautiful details in the rooms and buildings, and it was a lot of fun to see monkeys and other small animals in the outdoor area. We took a walk to the coral reef and strolled along the beach during low tide, visiting Kiwengwa. We borrowed a kayak for a paddle and swam in the sea from the small pier. Please note that there is no beach there, which we were aware of, so it was perfectly fine for us. The food was good, but considering that this is a 5-star hotel, there are a few things I would have preferred to be different. 1. An all-day a la carte breakfast option would be preferable. At this type of resort, it would be nice to choose when to have breakfast. 2. A la carte restaurant - in such a small place, it would be possible to have a menu to choose from, at least on some evenings instead of the semi-buffet style they have. Even though you could choose between meat and fish, etc. 3. More frequent visits from staff to the pool area to take drink and snack orders. 4. The swimming pier could be a bit easier to access, especially when it's a bit wavy. But all in all, a very pleasant stay, extremely relaxing with complete peace and quiet, good Wi-Fi, which is not always guaranteed in Zanzibar, excellent food, outstanding service, and friendly staff. We also enjoyed several delightful treatments at the hotel's spa, which we highly recommend.

If you cherish privacy, silence, a bit of wilderness and good cuisine you can’t go wrong with the place. Absolutely recommend the resort-stylish villas/rooms, great service, monkeys in the morning and cats in the evenings 😅 Greetings to all the hotel staff and hugs to Getrude😎
