Truly Exceptional! From the moment we arrived at The Mora Zanzibar, we knew we were in for something special. We were welcomed with the warmest smiles, refreshing welcome drinks, and a level of hospitality that immediately made us feel at home. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful, but what truly makes The Mora stand out is the exceptional service and attention to detail. The food was nothing short of fantastic! With so many different restaurants, cuisines, and dining options to choose from, every meal was something to look forward to. The variety, quality, and overall dining experience exceeded our expectations. However, what made our stay truly unforgettable was the incredible staff. The level of service at The Mora is genuinely one of a kind. Every interaction felt warm, sincere, and personal, rather than simply part of someone’s job. A very special mention must go to Ahok, the manager, and Teddy, the housekeeping manager. Both deserve the highest praise for their outstanding hospitality. Teddy, in particular, went above and beyond to make our stay extra special and memorable. Her thoughtfulness, kindness, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. It’s people like her who turn a beautiful holiday into an experience you will remember for years to come. You can stay at a beautiful resort anywhere in the world, but it’s rare to find a place where the people make you feel this valued and welcomed. The Mora Zanzibar has truly mastered the art of hospitality. From the food and facilities to the smallest thoughtful gestures, everything came together to create an exceptional experience. We leave with beautiful memories, immense gratitude, and absolutely no hesitation in recommending this resort to anyone visiting Zanzibar. A genuine five-star experience in every sense of the word. We cannot wait to return!

    “The staff are exceptional and amazing. Very kind to the children and tool time to ensure that we are well looked after. The variety of food was wonderful and conducive allergy situations. The room size was comfortable and the activities like the language class was very informative and well worth it. We look forward to staying here again.”

  • A very enjoyable and family-friendly stay

    “Overall, we had a very pleasant stay as a family. The resort is all-inclusive, with a good variety of food and facilities. Horizon, the main restaurant, is open 24 hours and the food there was consistently good. The resort is particularly family-friendly. There is an ice cream shop with unlimited ice cream, which was a huge hit with the kids, and a very good kids' area with video games, colouring, board games, painting, an outdoor play area and a splash pool. Staff are also available to supervise and engage the children. The swimming pool is huge, with different areas to enjoy, and there is a bar nearby serving a wide selection of drinks and snacks. Most of the staff were very friendly, respectful and helpful throughout our stay. Towards the end of our trip, our little one became unwell, and we were very grateful that the resort has an on-site medical facility. We received very good care from Dr. Jabir, which was reassuring and greatly appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, found the resort very kid-friendly, and would definitely be happy to return.”

  • Lovely hotel with very friendly staff.

    Manuel · family with children · 2026-09-18

    “Absolument tout est parfait : la situation sur une magnifique plage de sable blanc, les services et équipements, la qualité et la diversité des mets, des restaurants, et surtout la gentillesse et le service de tout le staff. Il y a une cordialité, une politesse, un chaleur et un à-propos dingue dans cet établissement. Tous les collaborateurs, que ce soient les jardiniers, l’équipe du service d’étage, les serveurs, les cuisiniers, les superviseurs, les intendants, la réception, les plagistes, tous sans exception y vont de leur « jambo » et « Hakuna Matata » avec chaque hôte. L’accueil et l’expérience en général sont tout-à-fait hors normes. Une mention toute spéciale pour la cuisine et sa variété incroyable avec des produits luxueux cuisinés subtilement. Un régal.”

    “Nous avons passé un séjour absolument exceptionnel ! 🌴✨ Tout était parfait, du début à la fin : l’hôtel est magnifique, parfaitement entretenu, le cadre est paradisiaque et surtout, le personnel est d’une gentillesse incroyable. Nous avons été accueillies et accompagnées avec le sourire tout au long de notre séjour, et cela a vraiment fait la différence. Un immense merci aux serveuses de la piscine ainsi qu’à toute l’équipe du bar Eclipse pour leur disponibilité, leur bonne humeur et leur attention au quotidien. Toujours souriants et aux petits soins, vous avez largement contribué à rendre nos journées encore plus agréables. 🥰 Nous repartons avec un pincement au cœur de devoir les quittées 🥹 Un petit clin d’œil à Ramadhan, qui préparait nos transats chaque matin avec beaucoup de soin et d’attention. Quel plaisir de commencer chaque journée de cette façon ! Merci pour ta gentillesse et toutes ces petites attentions qui comptent énormément. ☀️ Nous souhaitons également remercier chaleureusement toute l’équipe du TGI Diving Center. Une équipe professionnelle, rassurante, sympathique et passionnée, avec qui nous avons passé de superbes moments et découvert les magnifiques fonds marins de Zanzibar. 🐠🌊 Nous repartons avec énormément de beaux souvenirs et l’envie de revenir. Cet hôtel mérite vraiment toutes ses étoiles, autant pour la beauté du lieu que pour la qualité du service et surtout pour les personnes qui y travaillent. Merci à toute l’équipe pour ces vacances inoubliables. ❤️🌴”
