Very beautiful location, me and my girlfriend had the best vacation ever. The staff is really helpful and kind, and the food here is brilliant! New meals every day! Breakfast is also very good, you can choose between alot, and they make it fresh for you! The bungalow is very beatiful, and the view is something i’ve never woken up to before, we opened the doors when the sun was rising, and WOW it was pretty! Would recommend to anyone travelling in Pairs! Bring your wife/girlfriend and she will be very happy! NB! The sellers on the beach are REALLY annoying, but that is the only downside! ENJOY ZANZIBAR

We stayed at Seasons Lodge Zanzibar for 10 days for our Honeymoon and had the best time. Chris and his staff were very accommodating and always went the extra mile to help us in anyway they could whether it be booking transportation or activities at short notice. The staff were very friendly and always happy to accommodate our wants/needs including room service and answering any questions we had. The hotel was stunning with the private cottage being beautiful to stay in with the incredible sea view whilst the communal areas were fantastic with a lovely pool, various beds and seating areas and easy access to the beach. The food was great each day with the changing menu, and we enjoyed every meal we had. The hotel and area was very quiet, which suited us and what we wanted. It’s also well located on the island to be able to travel to other parts within an hour’s taxi ride easily. All in all, we had an amazing time here and would strongly recommend Seasons Lodge Zanzibar as a place to stay whilst your enjoy and explore Zanzibar.

This is a great place to stay while visiting Zanzibar. The rooms are quite nice and it's great to have a little private lounging area for yourself. The shared areas are also nice, and there are games and kayaks/ SUP to use free of charge. Only downside is that the ocean has quite a bit of seaweed right in front of the resort. But there is also a pool which is nice to lounge around as well

Beautiful and Relaxing

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful place. Seasons has a perfect atmosphere: laidback, simple, stunning setting, freindly and helpful staff. We woke and went to sleep with the sound of the Indian Ocean. The menu was varied, reasonably priced, and delicious. Best of all were the friendly staff who made us feel welcome and helped us with queries. The chalet was comfortable and perfectly simple. The atmosphere atvrhe lodge is relaxed and laidback. Whether it's a swim in the pool or sea, a walk on the beach at low tide, or just hanging out in the chalet, this was the best place to spend a few days.

Holiday in Zanzibar

The lodge is extremely clean and mosquito free. The balcony is a piece of private beach with strechers for reserved sunbathing. To swim you need to access the beach from the bar, which is not more than a minute walk from any room. On high tide you can dive from your balcony and then access the stairs to the bar, because the beach is gone, but on wet tide you can explore the ocean floor for over 100 meters with water up to your ankles. Even during dry season (July to Septembe) you can expect occasional showers. Don't bring your umbrella tough, or beach/pool towels though, as the hotel provides them. At first you may find the foid and beverage prices higher than in some countries in Europe, but you won't eat that well or cheaper in Stone Town. The cuisine is great, and served in generous portions. There is some music ambience at the evening but ends soon enough so everyone rests. It is an excelent place to relax the most and enjoy a paradisiac beach. It's far from other places, but I will let you judge if it is worth leaving the resort to explore Zanzibar. I'd say spending a day in Stone Town including the Prison Island tour is enough, maybe the forest if you are not taking some Safari tour in Tanzania besides your Zanzibar stay. Other than that there is no point in leaving the resort for. The most well soent time I had in Zanzibar was at the resort. Just forget the idea of living like a king in Tanzania with a few bucks/euros. There the resort has the best quality/price ratio

Virkelig dejligt sted i rolige og smukke omgivelser. Den private have/terrasse var fantastisk og havet var smukt og skønt at bade i. Tidevandet er bare med til at gøre oplevelsen bedre. Maden var virkelig god meget varieret. Personalet var meget venlige og hjælpsomme. Man skal kunne leve med, at elektriciteten går en gang imellem og vandet kan også være lidt ustabilt. Men de gør alt, hvad de kan for at løse det, så det er bare en del af charmen. De to hunde er søde, venlige og meget velopdragne. Et hyggeligt indslag, som gør steder hjemligt. Kan varmt anbefale dette sted og vil nok også vende tilbage en dag. Eneste ulempe er den manglende aircon, men vi var der også i en af varmeste perioder. Udsigt, omgivelser, mad og privathed opvejer det dog -:)

We hebben er enorm van genoten. In het hotel konden we in alle rust genieten van de zee en van Zanzibar. Ook onze tours in het hotel regelen ging zonder problemen. Ze waren juist voor onze tweede tour ons onbijt vergeten in de frigo steken, maar ze hebben dat meer dan goed gemaakt met een verse pizza tijdens de middag als we terug kwamen. Ook het onbijt was enorm lekker, zelfde als het dinner. We hadden half pension geboekt dus genoten elke avond van een starter, main dish en dessert. en we hebben er van genoten, om zowel ons onbijt als dinner te zitten eten aan de zeekant met een prachtig uitzicht. Adembenemend. Alles was perfect geregeld, ook het personeel, heel vriendelijk, ons bed was altijd heel mooi opgemaakt en genieten van een spelletje op een goed boek op het terras aans het prive strandje aan de zee, konden we in alle rust en stilte doen. We hebben enorm genoten van dit hotel en alles erond. jammer dat onze reis er al op zit.

Die kleine Lodge ist großzügig angelegt, die Stimmung entspannt und légère, der Service sehr freundlich und der Manager Christopher professionell und und entgegenkommend. Das beste aber ist die individuelle Privatsphäre in den schönen, durch eine Ummauerung abgetrennten Bungalows, die ohne Airconditioning oder Kühlschrank allein durch ihre großzügige und durchdachte Anlage und den traumhaften Blick aufs Meer bestechen.
