Certainly! Here's an exceptional review for Sea Cliff
**A Slice of Paradise at Sea Cliff Resort**
I recently had the privilege of staying at Sea Cliff Resort in Zanzibar, and it was an unforgettable experience that truly exceeded all my expectations. Nestled along the breathtaking coastline, this resort is a paradise that offers the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure.
**The Setting:**
The moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning location. Perched on a cliff overlooking the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, the resort offers panoramic views that are simply breathtaking. The lush gardens, swaying palm trees, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore create an idyllic atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.
**The Rooms:**
My room was an oasis of comfort and elegance. Spacious, beautifully decorated, and meticulously clean, it was the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The private balcony offered stunning ocean views, and I loved waking up to the sight of the sun rising over the water. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided added a touch of luxury to my stay.
**Dining:**
The dining experience at Sea Cliff Resort is nothing short of extraordinary. The variety of restaurants on-site offered delicious options that catered to every palate. From fresh seafood to local Zanzibari delicacies, each meal was a culinary delight. The breakfast buffet was particularly impressive, with an extensive selection of fresh fruits, pastries, and hot dishes. Dining with a view of the ocean made each meal even more special.
**Activities and Amenities:**
Sea Cliff Resort offers a wide range of activities to suit all interests. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean was a highlight, providing a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. For those seeking adventure, the resort offers water sports, golf, and excursions to nearby attractions. I also enjoyed a rejuvenating massage at the on-site spa, which was a serene experience that left me feeling completely relaxed.
**Service:**
The service at Sea Cliff Resort is exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and attended to my every need with genuine warmth and professionalism. Whether it was arranging excursions, providing dining recommendations, or simply ensuring that I was comfortable, the team went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
**Location:**
The location of Sea Cliff Resort is perfect for those looking to explore the beauty of Zanzibar. It’s close enough to Stone Town for a day trip but far enough to offer a peaceful retreat. The resort’s private beach is pristine, offering a secluded spot to enjoy the sun and sea in tranquility.
**Overall Experience:**
My stay at Sea Cliff Resort was nothing short of magical. It’s a place where every detail is thoughtfully designed to provide guests with an exceptional experience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or simply a place to unwind, Sea Cliff Resort is the perfect choice. I can’t wait to return to this paradise in Zanzibar and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious and unforgettable escape.

We were warmly greeted by the staff at the entrance. I had booked a deluxe room and had arrived early, would have appreciated an early checkin but the room wasn’t ready so meanwhile I explored the resort amenities. It has a private beach with a mini golf area and a bar alongside. The staff is friendly but most of the staff is new, a bit slow but they get you what you need. Maybe that’s how they’re wired, I’m unsure but they were kind.
Pictures don’t do enough justice to this property. It’s massive, beautiful interiors with high end quality products. Loved the spa, felt so rejuvenated and I loved their bathing product line, the shower gels, etc. It’s ace quality. Food was good. They had live performance that got everyone on flood.
It’s one of the best properties I’ve stayed at.

The room is not as big as expected, but relatively compact! In addition to normal taxes, there are some other hidden taxes!

Honestly the hospitality here is phenomenal! I would come back here over and over again. The staff are so friendly and the activities, food, scenery, weather, beach and facilities are TOP CLASS! They interacted at every opportunity with my wife and 3 year old child to make them smile with the typical Tanzanian charm. Thanks you very much!

This was such a great experience. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Plenty of things to do on the resort such as riding the horses, canoeing, tennis, and mini golf. Massages were at a decent price and very good. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Its a beautiful hotel, we really enjoyed our stay there the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Though i had booked with my travel agent to have seaview rooms and all the three rooms next to each other but did not get exactly what i had asked for. Otherwise everything was perfect with this hotel.

Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for your feedback and the time you invested in sharing it on Trip Advisor. It is such a pleasure to read our guests' nice reviews; we truly appreciate it when they share their wonderful thoughts and experiences with us. Our entire team takes pride in ensuring that our beloved guests' experiences at the hotel are second to none from start to finish. They will be truly overjoyed to know that their efforts were recognized. We are sad to hear that your agency forgot to mention you needed all three rooms next to each other. As you checked in very late in the night, my team asked you to meet me the next morning. However, I proposed that we shift you next to each other, but you refused as you said they were elderly people and everyone had already unpacked their suitcases. We will continue the tradition of delivering a top-notch service to all our guests. We look forward to welcoming you to our shores again... Tina, on behalf of the entire Seacliff team.
