A beautiful , relaxing lodge. The zebra migration was a wonderful sight, along with elephants drinking along the river, just beautiful. Stunning views and great company made it a wonderful break away. The bushman walk was very informative and interesting as well as amusing, what amazing people! The tented rooms are plush and comfortable and you really are thankful for... More

We stayed here for 4 days following a 10 day safari in Tanzania. The facilitis were great, clean and staff was very freindly. The 2 downsides to this hotel are the rooms and the "beach boys" (the people selling stuff on the beach) We had a "superior room" which as far as we could tell was just closer to the... More

A beautiful and amazing hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. All inclusive is the best way to go here. I would recommend this resort to anyone. Must have the pizza on the beach. Would not recommend their choice of dive center. More

Both good and bad points (quite surprised with reviewers saying, everything is great). Good: Hotel staff is very nice and extremely helpful. All inclusive is good value for many, although you would get bored at some point as the food tends to be repetitive (especially breakfast and snacks). There's a safe provided free of charge. Bad: the sheets had to... More

We had the pleasure of spending a week at Mapenzi and what a wonderful place to be. The staff are amazing and the "all inclusive" package is realy good value for money. I would recommend this holiday to anyone. What really made it superb was the fact that besides eating, swimming, relaxing and sipping cocktails all day you also get... More

My two friends and I went to Zanzibar for the first time and chose to stay at Mapenzi. We stayed for ten days and this is highly recommended as it gives the opportunity to find a balance between relaxing and doing a few excursions. Mapenzi? All i can say is "wow!". Everything here is fantastic - from the attention to... More

We have just had a wonderful holiday at Sandies Mapenzi Beach Club - all inclusive. There was a variety of food, variety of drinks & cocktails. There were lots of things to do such as water aerobics, stretching, group dance, volley ball, variety shows, acrobatic show, archery, canoeing. Everyday we were given fresh flowers from the garden. The employees would... More

We recently spent a week at Sandies Mapenzi in Zanzibar and I have nothing but great things to report. The staff went out of their way to ensure that we were always happy. The gardeners greeted you with flowers for your room in the mornings, the reception staff were very helpful, the bar staff and waiters in the restaurant very... More
