    “Aussergewöhnliche Lage mit sehr schönem Überblick auf das Meer mit seinen vielen Grün- und Blautönen. Das Melia the Level kann da nicht mithalten. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Ausstattung für die Kinder (Luftmatratzen, Kids Club) sind gut. Das Essen ist abwechslungsreich und bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas. Die Kinderkarte ist klein, aber genügt völlig. Wir haben 2 Geburtstage dort gefeiert und wurden mit einer sansibarischen Showeinlage/Gesang während des Abendessens überrascht, unvergesslich. Der Strand ist leicht zugänglich und man wird kaum von Händlern angesprochen, im Gegensatz zum öffentlichen Strand. Stromausfälle gibt es täglich, aber die werden sehr gut, durch die Notstromaggregate aufgefangen und dauern jeweils nur kurz an.”

  • Non all’altezza delle aspettative

Solucionaron cada detalle. Nuestro vuelo de retorno hasta New Uork era largo y por la noche, pudimos quedarnos en el hotel hasta la tarde q teníamos el transfer, les deseamos lo mejor a personas tan profesionales, su trato fue muy especial.”

    “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable stay – truly outstanding! We had the most amazing week at Meliá Zanzibar! Everything was outstanding from beginning to end, but what really made our stay so special was the incredible service. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate every single one of our requests. Everyone was extremely professional, kind, attentive and ALWAYS smiling! They made everything so easy for us, especially travelling with our 11-month-old baby. A very special mention to the chef, who was absolutely amazing with our baby. Twice a day, he prepared special fresh meals just for her, always making something different. As parents, having this level of attention and care made such a huge difference and allowed us to really relax and enjoy our holiday. The food in general was excellent, the hotel was beautiful and very clean, and the managers were always present and available. They would regularly come and speak to the guests, asking if everything was going well or if there was anything they could do for us. You really feel that guest satisfaction is a priority here. I travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels around the world, but Meliá Zanzibar is genuinely at the top of the game when it comes to hospitality and service. A HUGE thank you to the entire Meliá team — every single person, with zero exceptions! ❤️ You made this week unforgettable for us and for our baby, and we are leaving with such beautiful memories. We will definitely come back! Thank you for everything! ❤️”
