They will honor your requests, if possible, and strive to do all that they can to make your time there exciting and fun. The hotel is fairly new and the grounds are well maintained. The buffet food is very good with a lot... More

We spent a 3 days unwinding week-end at Sea Cliff Zanzibar. The set-up of the hotel is fantastic and the activity program is wonderful. Do not miss the horse riding or the hotel beach just outside the hotel perimeter. The rooms are very nice and with good view on the ocean. The dinner buffet is ok with good choices everyday... More

This place is perfect if you are looking to just relax and get away from it all. You will hardly remember that you are in Tanzania in fact. The resort is so self-contained with activities and restaurants on site that you really have to make an effort to engage in anything resembling local culture. The resort offered day snorkelling trips... More

Ive always wanted to visit Zanzibar and then my friend decided she was getting married there! The 40 minute ride from the airport at 3am was a bit scary but when we entered the gates, I concluded we were in heaven! Beautiful grounds, clean rooms, helpful staff! And the wedding on the jetty was ....well, heavenly! Only downside to me... More

Large full service resort a decent distance out of Zanzibar with large grounds and a private beach! Very relaxing rooms and amenities after a long safari. The pool is beautiful and overlooks the beach and turquoise waters of the Zanzibar channel. Caution - the hotel is a 45 minute ride from the airport and a good 30 minutes from Stone... More

The resort opened in November 2010. It is beautiful and has amazing amenities for adults and kids. The only downside is that it does not have beach where you can walk right into the ocean. There are 16 Deluxe rooms have sea view, tub, iron, and robes + 80 Superior rooms have sea view + 24 garden rooms have garden... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Driving into Sea Cliff Resort & Spa you know you have found something special. The 4 km road through a coconut plantation that leads to the hotel is a reminder of the Zanzibar of old. Peace and tranquility, no other hotels or busy roads just open space and palm trees.As you enter the courtyard filled with tropical flowers and palms the view of the ocean stands before you. With our traditional makuti roofs and Arabic towers lite by brass lights you know this is not a typical hotel. Its a hotel built with our location in mind, its a unique combination of modern facilities mixed with the original exotic architecture of historical Zanzibar. ... more   less
