A magical stay with African vibes and decor
My friend and I came here to relax, dive and celebrate my birthday. The entire stay made it an exceptional experience and the staff (Robert and Joel) were friendly, efficient and very welcoming. A compliment to the chef, as his lunch and dinner menus were excellent throughout the week. The receptionist Geriath (we hope that we spelled it correctly) was beyond what words can explain. Very kind, service minded and simply pleasant charisma. The owner of the hotel was delightful and very accommodating and thoughtful to our needs, especially on our departure day. We enjoyed the massage very much as they were good and friendly as well. The small hotel was charming and very stylish with African vibes and decor. All in all, a wonderfull experience and place. Thank you all

Beauty isn't enough.
Hotel beach chair area is beautiful..however the beach is impossible to swim in. The tide is to far out. Also great deal of seaweed and other plant like things flouting in the water does not make it appealing. NO AC! I missed this part during booking and it ruing my stay, extremely hard to sleep in the heat at night with just a fan. Water in the shower and sink come out salty, very weird to brush teeth and shower. No bottled water, they filter water into a glass jar and sell it to you for 2-3$. Food was not bad, they have a nice lunch and dinner menu. Breakfast was the same everyday, standard eggs and toast. This area of the island is extremely quiet, no life, youll be completely alone, if you like that, its fine, I have a better time up north in nungwi with the nightly hotel band shows and people watching. Aside from that service is great, staff is friendly.

Can’t rate the hotel highly enough, mainly because of the service! Great food, very relaxed and you couldn’t be looked after better. Wonderful location. You must always remember you are in Africa so there will be some challenges but Magic will smooth those out. You would be missing out not to stay here...

‘Magic’ indeed!! A truly special place!
What a perfect little slice of heaven this place is!! Isolated from the hectic tourism / aggressive sellers of other parts of the island; this place was absolutely perfect to unwind at the end of our mainland safari. Definitely not the cheapest place on the island for the room prices or for food / drink prices but amazing quality, value and service built in to everything they do. All of the staff members seemed to genuinely care that you have nothing to worry about at all during your stay! Thanks!

Cute and small hotel, everything you need
Really cute hotel! Overall was great. They forgot our airport pick ups BUT I have to say their response was fantastic and they were incredibly apologetic and made up for it. The food is good and menu changes every meal based on the local catches. Great kitchen. Staff are so nice!

The resort itself is very nice, the pool is amazing. The beach was a big downfall compared to Jambiani area, there is a lot of coral and sea urchins (bring water shoes) so swimming was not really possible. Thankful for the pool in this case. The bed was very springy and the sheets were extremely rough(pilly). All in all the place is nice! Food was delicious and highly recommend selecting the full board menu! Not many other options anywhere close by.

Super relaxing and beautiful beach
Had a great stay with friends for 2 nights. The hotel is small and directly on the beach. The food is good quality and nice selction of drinks in the bar. Bartender is good. The rooms are small but clean and nice. Very quiet and relaxing. The beach is beautiful and it is safe and not many people bothering you. We went running and walking for miles both north and south. We did a short snorkle trip to the small island close by. Paid only $35 for 2 people for a couple of hours from a guy on the beach. Saw lots of nice fish. The hotel has bikes to borrow for using on the beach but they did not work really well. But who needs bikes when you can walk or run. There was another small little hotel next doors, just 100m up the beach, it was called Bandas. We went there for dinner and live Zanzibarian music one night and it was very nice but slightly pricey. I highly recommend 2-3 nights at this hotel, it is just beautiful and so relaxing.

From the moment we arrived at Zanzibar Magic Boutique Hotel we fell in love with the place! Having just come back from a week stay we are already wanting to Go back! The hotel itself was exactly as per the pictures, we loved the feel of the place and felt very comfortable very quickly. The rooms were spacious and although did not have air con (which we were aware of before hand) were kept to a high standard and had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and beach. Being an eco hotel the turn down service was not every day but if you requested clean towels they were more than welcome to oblige with no trouble. The food at the restaurant was outstanding! We loved every meal that we had there and as mentioned in previous reviews there are no local restaurants within easy reach so to have this service at the restaurant was amazing! And although prices might have been slightly higher than local prices we felts the standard was well worth the price! One of the favourite parts of the whole trip for me was meeting all the amazing staff at the hotel! Every single person that we met at the hotel were incredibly friendly and always had a smile on there face! They made you feel completely at home! One of the bar men even took us for a walk out to the local sandbank on his break to show us the local area. The manager also went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
