Tulia Zanzibar

We stayed here at the end of our honeymoon, after 8 nights at a different hotel and then straight to a safari, we wanted our final 3 nights to be complete relaxation and that is exactly what we got. The hotel grounds & layout is great. There are only 16 rooms which means the hotel is very quiet, which is exactly what we wanted. Sometimes it felt like we were the only guests at the hotel. The food is absolutely excellent. A la carte dining for 3 meals a day as well as snacks on top. My only complaint with the food was that vegetarian options for dinner (for my wife) felt like a bit of an after thought. Dinner was the one meal you didn’t get a choice as it was a set 5 course menu. When my wife would mention to the waiter that she was vegetarian, you could see a bit of a panic and then after reassuring us it was in hand, we would be surprised by a random meal as there wasn’t a vegetarian menu. I must stress again though, the food was delicious and plentiful. The staff were all great and friendly. There wasn’t anything that felt impossible with the staff, they would make absolutely everything happen. A special shoutout to Joseph, he was super friendly and loved a chat. The drinks were also tasty and the menu was huge. The barman would also make any drink we requested off menu too. The room was very modern and clean. Bed was comfy and the mini fridge was filled daily by the cleaners. The cleaners were great and came twice a day which was nice. My complaint with the room is with the mosquito net. It isn’t a 360 degree net as there is a gap between the back wall behind the bed and the net. This doesn’t make sense to me since this leaves opportunity for mosquitoes to bite during the night. The pool area is very nice and clean and feels integrated with the main areas of the hotel. Nothing spectacular but definitely aesthetic. Evening entertainment was always locally themed which was nice and was during dinner which was also a good idea. The spa (each guest gets a free first massage) was great, the masseuse was good at what she does and we both left feeling relaxed. One thing we didn’t know about the hotel was that it had its own farm which is integrated within the grounds. They grow alot of their own spices, fruit and vegetables. They also keep chickens & ducks for eggs and meat. Overall a great stay and we would definitely return in the future.

Tulia saved our Zanzibar experience and honeymoon after checking out of our previous hotel early. We were picked up and taken to a perfect paradise. Our bungalow was immaculate and everything had been thought of. A fully stocked mini bar which was complimentary and replaced daily, and room service at no extra cost. The bath is stunning and looks out over the ocean. The sun loungers on our patio was so comfy and the amenities in the room and on the decking are top quality. The resort is beautiful and we loved how sustainable it is: growing their own produce and filtering the water to be drinkable. They also have their own chicken and ducks for eggs! The staff go above and beyond and are an asset to the resort. We wanted for nothing and nothing felt like a hardship to them. The staff a clearly happy to be there. The food is top quality with a large range of options for a dietary needs. The pool is spacious, clean and the whole resort feels intimate even though it was at capacity. We highly recommend an afternoon on the water slides- what a touch! The staff were aware that we had left our previous hotel and it was our honeymoon. On our final night they surprised us with a private dinner in the beautiful gardens with our own waitress and music which was nothing but spectacular. Our only regret is that we didn’t go straight there to have more time in this very special place. Thank you so much Tulia!

Excellent boutique hotel in Zanzibar. Rooms were nice and big with a very comfy feeling. Service was top notch. Everyone was ready to serve you with a smile and they never said no to anything. They would try to accommodate anything and everything. Coming to the food selection. Its an all inclusive hotel and food is really good. Not the typical buffet type of food. They have a set menu for every meal. If you don't like the set menu you can request something of your choice. Their chef is just too good. Excellent food. Seaside is very nice. Clean sea and nice calm waters. Overall a very relaxing place to be to wind down from the hectic daily life. Great place to be for a peaceful vacation. Very highly recommendation.

From my perspective this place felt like a little senctuary. The complimentary yoga sessions were fantastic, and Michaelle was a great instructor. The overall atmosphere was very relaxed, which was excatly what we needed. Breakfast also had plenty of options, and the staff were attentive each morning. A lovely stay overall.

This place is amazing, starting with the ambiance, the bungalows, the garden, and the food, but what really makes this place special are the people. We were treated so well by everyone, but especially Adil (best spicey margarita ever), Yusef, Ismail, Emiliana, Simon, Ayoub, Zamda, Haruna, Enoch, and Michelle. The reception, the Maasai and the cleaning staff are also fantastic, and I feel terrible not remembering their names. We stayed in an ocean view villa and it was magical waking up in the morning watching the sunrise from our own patio. The food is fabulous and they didn't miss a beat when it came to my food restrictions. I was truly impressed. If you have the chance, don't miss the Le Petit Chef experience, located in the only wine cellar on Zanzibar, as it was absolutely delicious. We added the wine pairing option, and it did not disappoint. We were the only ones that night (Feb 16), and it was actually perfect. A big selling point is also how quiet this place is, not crowded as it has a limited amount of guests. My husband absolutely LOVED the on site gym. You will not regret staying at this location and we are already planning our return.
