I went to Dreams of Zanzibar for a work conference over May 8th - 12th 2012. When you arrive, you are greeted by the staff with juice, and once you check in, you are shown to your room. The room is very nice, spacious and comfortable, equipped with a bar fridge. However, few rooms are sea facing. Each bed has... More

This is a note that i sent to the GM of the hotel after the way my wife and I were treated. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful time that we have had at your resort. We had a marvellous time last year, hence the reason for our return. You listened to our issues... More

We booked 2 suites that were meant to be together - one double and one with twin beds as we are traveling as a family. Actually they are just regular rooms and it turns out they don't have double/twins next to each other. The website advertises water sports as being included but they really aren't and had to speak to... More

We arrived late in the evening around 10pm. Check-in was friendly but a little bit slow (after 15 hrs of travelling, you want to get to your room as quickly as possible :-). Welcome cocktail was warm & sweet (would advise to give the guests a nice and cold cocktail ;-). We had booked a junior suite with garden view... More

Quick and friendly check-in at 12 am with a (sweet) welcome cocktail. Insects in the rooms? Our room was very spacious, perfectly cleaned and sprayed against mosquitos every evening during turndown service. Bad service? The 'maître' mr. Shams was very professional to all his staff. During breakfast, lunch and diner he stopped at nearly every table to answer any questions... More

Booked this resort at $200 per night for a deluxe room in the beginning of april. The resort itself is about 45 mins from the stone town where we had arrived via taxi and cost us a ridiculous $60 to get to with a taxi booked from the resort. Its based on the east coast of zanzibar- an area littered... More

Where to start. First things first, I normally don't write bad reviews on trip advisor, but Diamond Dreams was just so woefully bad for so much money that I feel obliged to warn anyone who might be tempted to part with their hard earned cash. We went to celebrate my mother's birthday and it was a comedy of errors; the... More
