The property is about 1hr 30mins from Zanzibar town, however is spacious and great place to relax. They have a private beach and the water is turquoise and white sand. Staff are multilingual and very professional and friendly. Alex, Abdul, Nasri and the whole team made our stay worthwhile and the all inclusive choice make the difference. Thank you and i cant wait to be back

I paid for a beach view for my nieces to stay at Pearl Beach resort. On arrival they were placed on a room far away from the beach. After they informed the resort that wasn't the room i booked, they were moved to a suitable room. The resort had no electricity on their arrival which cost their router to be down, however this was resolved in few hours later. Staff were helpful and apologetic of the situation. All in all they had pleasant stay and they informed me that the resort was a paradise and best place to relax. Grate for families. Thank you!

Fabulous hotel

This hotel is in an absolutely beautiful remote location set above two private beaches. There is an infinity pool which is a great size for swimming and another shallower one in the reception area which is beautiful too. There is a massive tidal range so the tide goes far far out but twice a day it comes right in and the sea is shallow to swim in but warm and absolutely lovely. The view when the tide is out is fabulous. The first pretty beach is smaller and near reception and the second bigger beach is a short walk away. Here there is a bar, wifi reception and lots of sun beds and seating and this area has a totally different more relaxed vibe. Many of the rooms have wonderful sea views, but not all. Also there’s was no wifi in the rooms as advertised if that is a problem for you. The rooms are lovely, not five star accommodation but spacious, comfortable and kept very clean by the attentive staff. Some reviews are critical but rooms are relaxed and beautiful and the prices are not five star either. The restaurant is lovely overlooking the ocean. Three star food not five, but always delicious and home made. I loved the salads and there was always a good choice. 100% the best thing about this hotel is the delightful staff, friendly, helpful and charming every one of them. Our special appreciation goes to Stella whose wonderful cocktails and even more wonderful smile won our hearts! ❤️ Not a five star hotel as has been suggested but absolutely fabulous!

Bitter sweet

Mixed feels all around, on arrival they had no idea we had a booking and waited almost 2 hours to get checked in, the reception had very poor communication with the reservations team. The room 306 flooded with water as the drains did not work, owners need to fix this ASAP. The general staff are fantastic, we had a few individuals who really went out of their way to accommodate us, the food was good too. Please note, they do not have WiFi in the rooms and they will not give you a beach view if you book it, it’s what is available on the day.

Such a charming little hotel , we’re already planning to return next year! It’s simple and relaxed, with an authentic African vibe, so don’t come expecting luxury, but come for the warm atmosphere and the people. The staff are some of the kindest and friendliest you could meet, always ready to help with a smile. The pool offers a breathtaking view of the ocean, and there are two beautiful beaches to enjoy right at your doorstep. The only thing I would suggest is adding a bit more variety to the menu, but overall, it’s a truly special place that wins you over with its soul and warmth.

Le service restaurant est revoir essentiellement en cuisine. En effet, on vous propose une carte de menu avec un choix de 3 entrées, 3 plats et 3 desserts. Et tous les jours il manquait un produit. Soit dans l'entrée ou le plat et même des fois le dessert. On en fait part au chef de cuisson mais ce monsieur n'apprécie pas les critiques et les remarques. Dommage car c'est en acceptant les critiques qu'on avance et progresse. Sinon le reste était très bien
