I was upgraded to a bigger room and I had my own outside seating area. Excellent and plenty of choices of food for breakfast. The restaurant also served delicious lunch and dinner. The location was safe and quiet. Security on property. Friendly owners and staff. The back up generator really helped when the whole Zanzibar lost power for several hours.

Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true.
As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it!
As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK!
Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way.
To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.

I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.
I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!MelodySwitzerland - 10Scored 10
Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.
Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

It’s on the east side of the island, much quieter & secluded than Stone Town. the staff was wonderful & respected our privacy. The food was excellent—- Italian chef cooked great dishes ( I wish he wouldn’t have yelled at his staff so much!) They were helpful with taxis & excursions. We have no complaints at all & really enjoyed our time there, we also felt very safe!
LuAnnUnited States of America - From $498 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 681 reviewsThe Melia Zanzibar is a good hotel without direct access to the beach The staff is perfect. But we can't consider this a 5 star hotel. The breakfast is poor. The is no beach access. The decoration is old and not appropriate for a 5 star hotel. We asked an upgrade for the Melia The Level and there you can consider has a 5 star hotel but the food and breakfast once again is too poor for the price. I would return because of the staff.NNunoPortugal
- 9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,271 reviewsThis was a cute little place. It was a very last minute booking and also our first time to Zanzibar so we didn't know what to expect. Everywhere in Zanzibar gets a 8+, 9+ rating which I found strange as so many of them are not that rating in my opinion. I feel like someone is doing the ratings for hotels there! The room was very big which was nice. It looked right onto the ocean. Deeda, the receptionist was lovely and very helpful.MelodySwitzerland
