10/10 Exceptional

We had a very enjoyable stay at The Mora Zanzibar, and overall it was a highly positive experience. The food was excellent—both in quality and variety. There was a wide selection of dishes, and everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. One thing to note is that many of the dishes had a slightly Indian-inspired touch, with similar spices used across several meals. That said, the food was consistently good and enjoyable throughout our stay. The hotel itself is impressive, with a wide range of facilities that make it easy to relax and enjoy your time without needing to leave the resort. It truly lives up to its “luxury all-inclusive” concept. The staff deserve special recognition. They were exceptionally friendly, professional, and always service-minded. Every interaction felt genuine, and they consistently went out of their way to be helpful and welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. We were also pleasantly surprised by the WiFi connection, which was reliable and noticeably better than what we have experienced at most other hotels in Zanzibar. All in all, this was a very positive stay, and we would happily recommend The Mora Zanzibar to others looking for a high-quality, all-inclusive resort experience.

A big hotel with good amenities, a lot of concrete, and a long way from Zanzibar city. Probably wouldn't stay here again my preference would be a smaller more boutique hotel.

Our stay at the Mora was awesome. Such amazing staff; very attentive and pleasant that is always smiling. All the staff were great - my stand outs tho were Maria (the restaurant manager), Chezalina and Anastasia. These 3 staff members made our trip very memorable with their caring and pleasant ways. Thanks for such a good time to all the staff; I’ll definitely recommend The Mora Zanzibar to my friends and family. Until next time🤗

This hotel was absolutely amazing! The views were stunning, and there was always something going on. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but worth every penny. Everyone was so friendly, and I honestly wish I could’ve stayed longer. Elijah showed us around and was incredibly nice—he gave me and my grandmother a full tour of the property and great recommendations for excursions. He even arranged to have a birthday gift sent to my room, which made my stay even more special. The food was great, and the property had everything you could possibly need for a perfect vacation. I will definitely be coming back!
