"Incredible location, resort, staff and food. I stayed here for 10 nights and it was perfect. The rooms are spacious with a tasteful interior equipped with air conditioning. The villas are situated in a garden with paths, overlooking the ocean on a small cliff. The staff is attentive and eager to provide excellent service. As a solo female traveler I felt very comfortable, safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend!!"

"A true sanctuary – made unforgettable by the people We were four friends traveling for rest and harmony in nature, and this stay exceeded every expectation. We’ve visited many five-star resorts worldwide, but this one truly stands out. The resort is stunning—beautiful architecture, lush surroundings, and a calm atmosphere. The ocean is tidal, but it didn’t affect us; swimming in the mornings/afternoons was perfect, and the infinity pool overlooking the sea is magical. It truly feels like...

Top Potoa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili – All Inclusive – Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The majority of the staff were wonderful, always smiling and happy to assist with anything. The booking system is frustrating and does not work if you have multiple rooms/ booked with family. This proved to be THE most annoying part of the holiday and it spoilt some of our evenings when we had to argue for a table for 3 people even though we had requested and it had been confirmed! It's quite a noisy hotel, with boisterous activities during the day, every day, which if we knew, we would have chosen a different hotel. The evening entertainment was very repetitive over the 10 days we were there."

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel with beautiful staff. Food amazing. Pool lovely. Beach sand and blue sea like you e never seen before. Would I go back again - yes in a heartbeat."

Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort

8/10 Good

"The sea view is very nice. The hotel breakfast is also very tasty and their alacarte menu for dinner etc is also very tasty. The reception staff and housekeeping staff are very nice and very very helpful. They really try their best. I loved the hotel, only problem is that there was no alcohol available but otherwise its a very nice hotel. However, please note its not possible to enter the beach as its made of stones and water is very shallow."

Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great resort and amazing beach. Not the most walkable outside of the resort but if you’re looking for a great all inclusive resort with its own beach then Royal is amazing"
