Excellent option, friendly and extremely helpful staff. The only observation is that I found there to be too many Indian food options for both lunch and dinner and I missed more grilled food.

I absolutely loved everything about the Mora Hotel. From the staff who work there to the hotel itself, to the food, to the drinks, to the beach to the timetables of fun activities and classes on their interactive app. I could go on. This was an excellent holiday choice that I will cherish forever.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing stay at The Mora, the staff are great, really accommodating and helpful. The food was brilliant all round, lots of choice at the buffet for everyone. We also had food at the other restaurants (Jikan, Japanese) and (Jua, Brazilian Grill) bear in mind you need to book these 48 hours in advance. Jikan was okay, but probably my least favourite meal on the trip, the restaurant inside has strange lighting and creates an odd atmosphere. Jua on the other hand was great, one of the best meals at The Mora, it’s buffet style for starters, sides and deserts and a La carte for the main, great options and would definitely recommend. The room was very comfortable, air con to keep you cool and a very large bed. We stayed in the junior suite and it was really spacious. The room comes with satellite TV, mostly English speaking channels, a free mini bar with soft drinks, wine and beer. My personal favourite on the room was house keeping setting your room/bed for the evening when you’re at dinner, coming back to that was great and a nice touch. The resort itself has everything you could want, great beach (although bear in mind there are locals on this beach trying to sell you things, but they’re not allowed where the sun beds are so won’t bother you, only when you make your way to the sea) there are 3 large pools, plenty of space, also a smaller pool for kids, shallow but still large! Ordering drinks to your sunbed was a huge plus! Overall, The Mora was perfect. There’s lots to do!

Great family getaway !
We spent 4 days at Mora Hotel. The resort is great and very well maintained. The bar tenders super friendly as well as all the staff. The amenities are fantastic. We also used the Dive shop for 3 days of Scuba Diving. The staff was very knowledgeable about the dive sites. Overall a great experience and good food.

The overall experience was great. The staff is friendly and responsive. I particularly liked the food served at Aqua, which is why I was disappointed at the food quality from Carnivorous. The food was served luke warm at best and the meats did not meet the standards one would expect from a reservations only establishment. Maybe you should take a cue from the food consumption and wastage on a night by night basis at Carnivorous.

This hotel is truly a 5* in Zanzibar. Free from insects and mosquitoes in the room unlike other hotels in Zanizbar. All inclusive and great for the price you pay. I booked the hot tub/jacuzzi room and was snot disappointed. Great staff.

Overall... a wonderful resort
My overall experience was wonderful at this resort. Architectural gem. Location was perfect. Staff were friendly and professional. Plenty of excursions available for additional fees that were well worth it. Daycare on site. Entertainment was an added bonus. The food was delicious! My room was also beautiful. The consistent issue was having to call multiple days for our room to be cleaned. It was a small annoyance, especially since there were a few cockroaches in the room. I killed a couple. I'm aware there are things that cannot be helped. But I do wish we didn't need to call for housekeeping to show up. With this said. My stay at Emerald was very enjoyable.

Overall very clean and nice resort. Would be better if it were closer to stone town and some of the other main cities, it was an hour drive or more everywhere we went and rides were expensive. The resort was also extremely colonized, Iike there wasn’t a single African restaurant out of the 5 that were there. If you wanted to experience any African/Tanzanian culture you had to leave the resort. The staff is underpaid (which we learned through talking to some of the staff we befriended) so the workers relied heavily on tips (yet there was no atm on site?). The property was Arabic owned but all local, underpaid workers which kind of felt like modern day slavery :( the staff was extremely friendly but unfortunately dropped the ball a few times during our stay. For example, we booked a taxi through the front desk for an excursion we had in 2 days. The taxi never showed up and there was no record of a taxi being booked so we missed our excursion and had to reschedule. Also, I was there for my bday in which my bf planned a whole surprise day in which the staff was supposed to decorate our suite & bring a cake - they never did and my boyfriend had to complain 3 different times before they finally did but it was at 10pm when they came? We made 2 different requests with the house keepers for the mini fridge that were never fulfilled. Lastly, there was no gift shop/convenience store on site, so if you forgot toiletries or needed snacks or anything, you had to leave the resort (far drive
