Your Oceanfront Paradise in Paje Beach

Fantastic place! The best views in Paje!!!

It was a great value for mieny hotel to stay at, the breakfast was great, they had a lovely pool to relax in and you were right at the beach, it was not too busy so if you're looking for something quiet and peaceful it's perfect. It's also a great location.

Beautiful hotel and beach bar and super friendly staff.

We were here during the festive season (a family of 5) so it was a bit hectic during dinner-I’m not sure what was going on in the kitchen cause the food was subpar But overall though, the staff is so friendly and helpful, the place is beautiful, and safe + it’s a big place there’s plenty to explore and do on the beachfront.

A wild (but clean) slice of paradise. Very (maybe too) laid-back and hakuna matata. For 3 people, I recommend the beachfront bungalow B8! Ideally located, 3 steps from the beach, 2 steps from the beach restaurant, 3 steps from the beach bar, and 2 steps from the pool and breakfast area. Not luxurious, but great! Excellent memory!

Nice cocktails and mocktails. Customer service is nice too.

Booked a week in B&B on the website, everything ok, sunbeds and beach bar included, clean room and bathroom, all the staff were kind and helpful, the breakfast buffet could definitely be improved... 🤗 🍀

The setting is truly magnificent. The location is PERFECT. The staff are 10/10, I absolutely loved them. Honeymon, incredible, thank you. I would like to thank Ana, the receptionist. Thank you for the beautifully decorated room, thank you for everything. See you soon, Hakima and Ali

Sea view and beach service is fantastic! The staff like Ibrahim and Leon, and the Girls from restaurant were fantastic. The room is great with great air con. Not far away from the village wich is fantastic to go to dinner and shop. The bathroom, is very smelly, water goes inside the room, and the pressure is not good.

Nice place for soft drinks...cheaper than the rest of the restaurants...

Very good location in Paje directly on the beach

A dream vacation. At first I was a little confused by the very simple breakfast but you don't need anything more. A very clean, beautiful, really quiet hotel right on the beach. Peace, sand, wind and the wonderful sea. The rooms, we had the deluxe, were really clean. Fresh water was always available. The dinner was very tasty. Recommended. I feel very comfortable here. The small power outages are forgiven. We are in a little paradise. We will definitely come back here.

Nice see view

Great location, direct access to the beach and quiet area. The cabins are simple but adequate. Sometimes a bit noisy from the neighbors.

Everything here is good, from the food to the location. It’s right in the heart of Paje, close to everything. It’s very spacious and big and has a beach bar, I highly recommend this place.

Ideally located, the hotel could use a refresh! No water pressure in the room, exposed electrical wiring, and the pool tiles need replacing! The on-site dining is expensive! The menu could be more affordable!

Best location in Paje with a spacious beach area. Very friendly staff, good food; rooms urgently need to be renovated - especially the bathroom area.

I recommend the beach bar and restaurants. Good location, wide selection of juices and cocktails. Good food, especially grilled octopus. Nice sunbeds, swings on the beach and a pool with a beautiful view.

Cristal would be a great resort so long as you’re not there on music night - the pounding music started before 6pm and was supposed to finish at midnight but actually finished at 2am. All this was less than 50 metres from both the restaurant (making conversation difficult) and from a number of rooms including several for our group (so struggled to sleep). And all for less than 20 people. And to make matters worse the manager kept his phone turned off and didn’t appear in person for the entire 2 days after we first complained. Also the following night, the African feast (quite nice) included music and dancing which might have been nice for up to an hour but went on for the entire time we were there (nearly 3 hours) and was so loud that we had to shout to hear each other, so gave up trying (as did everyone else) and ended up going to bed at 9pm just to get away from it. Also it’s an extremely windy location, perfect for the kite surfers but less so for anyone else. The main plus is the very nice female staff who were friendly and helpful.

Incredible service, great food, amazing resort! Very recommended 🙏🏻

I booked Eco 5 bungalow for 6 nights and we enjoyed our stay with full satisfaction. My 3 year old daughter even slept with us on the big bed. The hotel is exceptional, I can only recommend it. Bungalow: eco 5 was located on the farthest, maybe the closest to the sea, we woke up to a wonderful view of the beautiful palm trees and the sea, this view was even more wonderful from our own small terrace. Most of the windows have bars, they can be kept open at night. Mirrored foil on all windows, you can see out, but not in, perfect privacy. Sometimes small birds also land there, and we admired them up close, while they could not see us, but we could hear their voices. The bungees are far enough apart, they do not interfere with each other. All wall sockets were universal, I used EU electronic devices without a converter. Every day we received full cleaning, folding and personalized room service, 2x0.5 dl water, they also do mosquito repellent in the evening, but we rarely encountered mosquitoes at dawn. The mosquito net is perfect. There is also a hairdryer, the towels were changed almost constantly, even if we didn't ask for it. I was satisfied with the air conditioning, it can't cool the room during the day and during power fluctuations, but it comes on strong at night and sometimes we had to cover up / turn it off. The heat at night is not a problem for me, I didn't even count on that in eco bungi. Compared to other hotels in Zanzibar, the breakfast is quite generous, 3 types of fruit, 2 types of juice (every accommodation provides pre-prepared ones in the morning), toast is possible, pancakes are my taste and donuts are also available sometimes, and eggs were prepared according to our personal requests and food sensitivities. We had lunch on the beach several times with sushi or a la carte, with fresh juice, and we had dinner a few times when my daughter fell asleep too soon. Sometimes we had to wait a little for lunch, but this wait was more of a gift on the sunbeds, I wouldn't call it slow at all, we always got dinner quickly. The prices of the food and drinks are not high, their quality is perfect! The nighttime partying and bass of the nest can often be heard, but after a long enough day this never caused us any problems, although we were in the furthest bungi. The accommodation has its own row of sunbeds on the beach, which is exceptional even in Paje! The Maasai maintain a 3-4 meter private zone, vendors can only ask from a distance, they are not allowed to enter even for business. We did not experience any harassment, if we did not ask for something, everyone stopped. The pool in front of the reception and restaurant is deep, it is easy to swim in, my daughter really enjoyed it with her swimming aid and armband. This accommodation was a dream for us, we got a great room, I can honestly say, I can only recommend it. Power outages were relatively rare (e.g. in Kizimkaz, this was more regular).

A nice resort, on the beach, small individual cottages. Daily buffet breakfast, and you can order off of the menu. I really enjoyed the location, the service was great.

Beautiful place.

You cannot beat the location - the Indian Ocean is steps away from the guest rooms & you wake up to beautiful sunrises! We had a great weekend here!

I was walking around the beach side

"Visiting Cristal Resort in Zanzibar was an unforgettable experience, largely due to the breathtakingly beautiful view of the beach. The moment I stepped onto the resort, I was captivated by the pristine, powdery sand and the crystal-clear turquoise waters stretching as far as the eye could see. The beach at Cristal Resort is a paradise on Earth, offering a serene and peaceful ambiance that made my stay truly magical. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and witnessing the mesmerizing sunsets over the horizon was a surreal delight. The resort's meticulous attention to maintaining the natural beauty of the beach made my stay a tranquil escape, and I can confidently say it's one of the most picturesque beaches I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. If you're looking for a slice of paradise with an awe-inspiring beach view, Cristal Resort in Zanzibar is the perfect destination."

Didn't stay but go there for lunch and drinks, staff are friendly and cheerful. The Thai Red curry was good and tasty. Beers are cold. Right on the beach so great to relax

The staff and the restaurant were first class! Really nice people, great service and super delicious food. The room had a few signs of wear and tear here and there, but that didn't affect our stay. For example, there was no holder for the shower head. The trainees do a lot of the service here, which I thought was really great. They were very friendly and hard-working. One star is deducted because the person who did the billing with us charged us $100 too much. After a short explanation, he apologized and then charged us correctly. The 5% is standard here and was calculated correctly. The beach was beautiful, but people constantly approached you, which we didn't like. The pool was really great. We can highly recommend this resort. We had a great time here.

The view of the beach from our room was spectacular. The bathroom and shower in our bungalow were truly laking. The bed would shake like crazy whenever anyone even tiptoes around. However, the restaurant had delicious food and wonderful service with a smile. The beach area is so very beautiful with clear, beautifully colored water. It is almost always a bit windy, hence all of the very entertaining wind surfers from beginners to pros. Overall well worth staying at this resort. David from Austria

We had a lovely stay. Location Is marvelous. Staff, overall was good. Only management was very disappointing, since we stayed in a room cheaper than we were supposed to, and they didn’t want to put the exceeding amount of money in our tab and tried to play us around.

Its good

Havent stayed at the hotel, but the food and service in the restaurant and beach bar is the best we have experienced in Zanzibar over a 1 month stay, definitely recommend

If you like wind and masses of cats filling the sea, a very nice place with good service in terms of rooms, food and staff.

An exceptional place. A magnificent setting. Charming rooms. A very friendly and efficient team. Well situated. A holiday with your toes in the sand, and what sand! We thank the whole team. My wife, I and my two children A. and H. will definitely be back. The place to be in Zanzibar. L.G
