Very Friendly, Quiet, Luxurious Get-Away

This is a small but wonderful resort with only 6 or 7 villa cottages. Everything about our stay was wonderful. The staff was so friendly. They brought drinks and snacks several times during the day without asking. They would accommodate every request we made. We loved our private beach cabana. It was the most relaxing vacation we every had. The meals were wonderful though a bit lengthy with the many courses. The variety of food and drinks was great. They even honored my birthday at dinner time.

We recently spent 6 nights at The Palms Zanzibar Resort. The whole experience was absolutely First Class! The resort is on a beautiful, long, sandy beach with private access – perfect for long walks or runs. There are only 7 villas - Ours was gorgeous and well prepared for visitors' comfort. The Staff, led by Mr Siriak Evarist (Operations Manager), was extremely warm and welcoming and worked hard to make us feel at home. The Chef, Mr William, prepared excellent meals using locally-produced fresh fruits, vegetables and fish in delicious and innovative ways with occasional bits of beef and chicken. My wife has special dietary sensitivities, and Chef William and all the Staff were well-briefed and worked very hard to make sure her particular needs were well and happily met. The Palms Zanzibar is in the same family as 2 other resorts just next door, and we were free to visit the facilities, restaurants, and shops at those, too. On a couple days, we enjoyed a well-informed, guided historical tour of the capital, Stone Town, got a Spice Farm experience (absolutely fascinating and highly recommended), and a ½ day snorkelling in a nearby lagoon. We could have kite surfed or sailed, too, as the wind was excellent the entire time. In conclusion, this was one of our most memorable and happy holidays – and we can’t wait to go back!

MAGIQUE

Un Hotel intimiste ou Siriak et toute son équipe vous feront sentir comme de leur famille . Nous avons séjourné dans beaucoup de beaux hôtels dans le monde mais The Palms restera dans nos mémoires pour la qualité des services, la gentillesse de l’équipe et son professionnalisme ! Nous sommes restés 11 nuits et ce fut du bonheur du début à la fin . Nous reviendrons

Cet hôtel est un petit paradis avec seulement 7 villas ultra luxueuses ( excellente literie, parquet partout, Clim dans ttes les pièces, petite terrasse aménagée..) Le manager et personnel sont adorables et a l’écoute.. La nourriture abondante et variee est délicieuse, bravo pour les jus de fruits frais et les cocktails proposés. Juste une remarque pratique pour les personnes en difficulté de mobilité : poser des rambardes pour descendre à la plage , actuellement ce sont des marches en pierre un peu difficiles .. J’espère revenir dans ce petit paradis !

Vi hade en underbar vistelse under 5 nätter. All service man kan tänka sig. Underbart god och varierad mat. Personalen gjorde allt de kunde för att vi skulle få äta våra måltider på fler underbara platser. Generöst och privat boende, perfekt för avkoppling och par. Fina områden och man upplever överallt att man har hela anläggningen för sig själv. All typ av aktiviteter, cyklar-paddel-boards-snorkling fanns på deras systerhotel bredvid. Vi kommer tillbaka!

Attention on est effectivement au bord de l eau mais il n y a pas vraiment de vue mer comme annoncé . Le soir l hôtel est très triste avec de petits éclairages , les chambres immenses et très belles sont très sombres . Le personnel attend qu on se en aille parfois devant les chambres dans le jardin pour nettoyer c est très désagréable .

Lap of luxury

We stayed at The Palms for four nights and was without a doubt spoiled at every turn. We arrived around 2:40am and was greeted by Siriak and his staff. That in itself made us feel that The Palms took extreme care of their guests. We were promptly ushered to our rooms and left to rest. The Palms' staff are not intrusive, but discreet so that guests are left alone to enjoy their surroundings and holiday. In our view, The Palms ensured that their guests were not bored with their stay, as we experienced each day to be different to the previous, in terms of dining. We enjoyed all our meals and were bowled over by chef William's creations. No meal was the same and no setting for dinner was the same either. Every day we had superb massages at the sister hotel, and on our last day we had a couples' massage, which was out of this world. To conclude, we would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Zanzibar. The staff and surroundings are top class. The warm waters of the Indian Ocean are truly spectacular. It is a truly luxurious and pampering holiday for those who just want to relax in a quiet and beautiful setting. Thank you, The Palms, for our exotic holiday.

Amazing stay

We stayed only one night on a quick pit stop to Zanzibar on our honeymoon inbetween safari and Seychelles. If we had to do it over again we would have spent all of our time in Zanzibar here with a quick day trip to stone town. Siriak is a very attentive but not intrusive host. One of the best things about this property is that there are only 6 villas so it is very peaceful and each villa has its own private cabana by the ocean which is a fantastic way to spend the day inbetween meals. As said in other reviews, the food is excellent and we loved every meal. When they learned it was our honeymoon they went out of their way to do something special for us as well. My wife and I travel often (platinum at both SPG and Marriott) and the room we had was probably the nicest either one has ever stayed in (probably three times the size of our NYC apartment).
