The decoration style is beautiful, but the food service is far from what it should be at this price

Wow. An idyllic bubble with the most luxurious accommodation, the most beautiful beach I have been to, friendly knowledgeable staff who work hard to make sure everything is perfect. Small boutique resort. Fantastic fresh food to suit most tastes with plenty of variety. Clean, beautiful gardens, a lovely pool you will want for nothing. I really enjoyed the reef walk this morning at low tide, we saw some amazing sights. Highly recommended. My children are in their twenties and had a wonderful time too. Plenty of sunbeds on the beach and around the pool and complimentary service.

Not sure words really will do Baraza justice. A little corner of paradise where the staff cannot do enough for you. Service is outstanding, and the villas and restaurant are all first class. A perfect retreat after Safari making a special birthday celebration even more memorable. Thank you for the memories and hospitality and we will be back soon!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Baraza Resort & Spa – Zanzibar Our stay at Baraza Resort & Spa was nothing short of extraordinary. We had the privilege of spending one night at this stunning all-inclusive, five-star luxury resort while conducting a site inspection, and it exceeded every expectation. A huge thank you to Yassine, the Assistant General Manager, who personally conducted our site inspection. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he also had an amazing sense of humor that made the tour both informative and enjoyable. His passion for the property and commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience were evident throughout our visit. From the breathtaking architecture and beautifully appointed villas to the impeccable service, Baraza truly defines luxury. The all-inclusive dining experience was outstanding, with every meal thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Every detail of the resort reflects elegance, comfort, and world-class hospitality. What impressed us most was the consistency of service. Every staff member we encountered went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, creating an experience that honestly deserves more than five stars—it was a 1000/10! During our time in Zanzibar, we also conducted site inspections at all four properties within The Zanzibar Collection—Baraza, Breezes, The Palms, and Zawadi—and it was clear that each property shares the same exceptional standards of hospitality while offering its own unique character. If you're looking for one of the finest luxury all-inclusive resorts in Zanzibar, Baraza Resort & Spa should be at the very top of your list. We look forward to recommending this incredible property to our clients and returning again ourselves.

The staff is very friendly and always checks in to see if everything is going well. The resort is well-maintained. The rooms are large and comfortable. We had a two-bedroom villa for our family. The resort is 1.5 hrs from Zanzibar Airport. We were there during the Full moon period when you have the largest fluctuation of the sea levels during tides. The low tide exposes the reef. One of the beach activities is a reef walk. Even though it is a very unique experience, we would not recommend it. First, it can't be good for the reef. In addition, the reef is full of sea urchins. I needed medical assistance with over 20 instances of sea urchin pricks that needed to be removed by a nurse.

It is sad knowing I will never experience such a wonderful hotel like this again. The hotel was superb. You could not find fault with anything. Location, gardens, accommodation, restaurants were all 10 out of 10. Put aside the great food and drinks, the perfect accommodation, what raises the bar at this hotel are the staff. Nothing is to small for them. From the gardeners, the lobby staff, and restaurant staff they all made us feel special. They are polite and friendly and made us feel we belonged to the hotel family. The best place to relax after a safari.

All the staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. They do work hard to look after you. Never been soooo relaxed and could have done with a few more days. The food is out of this world. Tasty and of the highest quality and standard. There are 200 staff employed to keep this resort to the highest of service. Thank you ever so much to Noa, Yassine & all the team.
