Madinat Al Bahr Business & Spa Hotel

The food was nice and distant from the airport was a good thing as our flight arrived a little after midnight. The staff were very hospitable and courteous.

This is one the most iconic hotels in Zanzibar in my opinion , and I must say it is quite different from other hotels in a very good way. The hotel and its rooms are top notch and takes its residents to a royal period, very clean and very good size rooms. But more than the infrastructure, its the staff which makes this palace a special place to be. They take so much effort to know their guests and go way beyond their duties to provide personal experience to each and every guest of the hotel. From the porter(Khamis) , concierge ( Issa ), Mohammed Ali (coffee shop manager), Guest relations manager (Sayed Aly the Egyptian), Restaurant manager ( praveen), Taxi driver (Munir ) and there are so many others from other departments They all made us feel like family and so special, they took really good care of us, i must mention the main men THE CHEF (NASIR ) he make’s amazing food, mouth watering and tasty, also took time out to prepare special food for us on request, amazing personality and made sure our food and service was good and on time, also must mention HAPPY the waitress who took so good care of us and made us feel so special, very professional and always smiling always HAPPY 😀 great personality, i travel fair bit but haven't seen such hospitality anywhere yet. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who want to experience one of the best hospitality in the world. I want to Thank the management of Madinat al bahar to have such an amazing and professional team. The people i have mentioned above by names are an asset to this Hotel and i urge the CEO and the senior management to reward them. 5 star plus in my opinion. Thank you and will definitely recommend friends and family and will be back.

We had an incredible experience at this hotel with my family! Truly amazing! The staff is top notch! Especially Ali, because I had a massage at the spa and took off my gold jewelry, I realised this at the airport and Ali came from the hotel to the airport to bring me my jewelry so I wouldn't miss my flight and leave without it! I am so grateful, Ali made our stay incredible! I recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Zanzibar! Thanks again Ali! Lydia and Walid

This luxurious hotel is beautiful with the most gorgeous chandeliers I’ve ever seen! It has a wonderful view and very friendly staff! The food is fresh and delicious! The overall service is great! Be sure to book your stay! You will not regret it!

Fantastic hotel! A beautiful building, beautifully situated, drowning in greenery and flowers makes a great impression. Nice, friendly, polite and professional service. Great people at the reception, in the restaurant, at the pool, absolutely everyone. Delicious food - a nod to the chefs. Wonderful interiors, decorated in an oriental style, decorated with splendor and taste. Spacious rooms, beautiful decor, comfortable, large bed, bathroom, everything is a revelation! There is attention to detail at every step. Everywhere is very clean. A wonderful view from the balcony of the pool, wonderful vegetation, the ocean - in the evening - an unforgettable experience! Fairy tale! Walks on the beach, warm ocean, lush greenery - all this creates a unique atmosphere of this place. This is the hotel I want to come back to! This is a gem among hotels!

Wonderful lighting system Friendly Staff Good food However the hotel can arrange the tours to nearby places,to the beach.The hotel should provide a map of the hotel to all guests because I could not locate the gym until I went to physically enquire at the reception. I was celebrating my birthday but the hotel system did no recognize that .I was expecting at least a happy birthday message.
