Madinat Al Bahr Business & Spa Hotel

Reserving a room at Madinat Al Bahr was a smooth process. I proceeded to make a call to enquire about checking in early. A gentleman by the name Sebastian organized to have me picked up from the airport and allowed me to check in early which allowed me to have a much-needed rest after two days of travelling. At the reception I was greeted with warm smiles and the lady at the reception (Happy) checked me in without delays. Issa helped me to my room and showed me the executive room I had booked. The room surpassed all my expectations. It was roomy, light and very clean. The icing on the cake was the direct view of the hotels garden and the blue ocean from my room’s balcony. All the amenities that one might need on a trip away from home are included in the room. My first night at the hotel was very pleasant. I had the delight of meeting Sayed Aly on my way to breakfast the next day - a very charming, chatty gentleman who speaks. I enjoyed chatting with Aly during the meals - we both had a chance to practise the international languages we spoke (German, Russian and a little bit of Italian). I got the impression that Aly takes his time to learn the guests and preferences which really makes a stay at Madinat Al Bahr feel like a second home. The food was another highlight. A wide variety of local and international delicacies. The buffets were amazing. I was more interested in local delicacies which the hotel had enough of. The fruit variety felt like a special treat too. The pool is very clean and big enough. There are nough sun beds around the pool - one needs not worry about finding a spot to chill by the pool. The pool looks even prettier at night! The beach just infront of the hotel was nice too. I had a chance to chit chat with the locals and take some “diving lessons” from the kids swimming around. My stay lacked for nothing. Madinat Al Bahr is truly a gem on this beautiful island.

We loved this hotel especially the exterior, pool, restaurant and common area. It was well decorated and we had a very relaxing very pleasant stay. We basically had the pool to ourselves on the day we spent lounging around, the hotel was very quiet. We loved the gardens and all the different kinds of flowers! Many different lounge areas outside to enjoy the beautiful Zanzibar sun. A little beach area just down the stairs. On another day we went to stone town, and the hotel arranged a driver to take us there and pick us up ($10 per trip) which was very helpful. We loved that there was a free shuttle to/from the airport. The buffet is very good, we really enjoyed the food.

the breakfast and A La Carte dinner menu was huge and catered for all our needs and more and the staff were very friendly and brought all the items to our table.

It’s picturesque and grand. Super clean and has lots of places to chill with view of the beach. The stuff is super friendly and helpful. There are so many details about the place that shocked me in a beautiful way.
