We stayed 4 nights in Residence Zanzibar and enjoyed it very much. The beach is fabulous, the garden is huge, nice and well maintained. The villa is spacious, comfortable, very good quality, we enjoyed the XL size shower. Cleanliness is impeccable. We found the golf cart service extremely helpful and appreciated the bikes. The personnel is very friendly and helpful, both room and restaurant service is outstanding. Highly recommended.

We stayed in the 2 bed presidential villa - absolutely huge and definitely the highlight of our stay. The place was unnecessarily big, spacious but I felt they could have done more with the garden space to benefit from the sea view. We were a family of 5 and it would have been nice to have outdoor seating for all 5 of us to sit together. The restaurant : here is where I was disappointed- the food is tasty but the buffet setup looks more 4star than 5 star. Especially the fruit fridge with its neon light was such an eyesore - 5 star hotels have a chef who prepares the fruit, of your choice, while you wait. There are nicer and more modern ways of serving food rather than large stainless steel containers on top of a warmer. Nitin, bar manager chatty and friendly offered great service. The second restaurant was little more than a few tables set up outdoors with a few fairly lights. Pretty though. Pool area needs to be refurbished and looks outdated, wooden floor boards are uneven. When the tide goes out, the beach is too shallow to swim… All in all, the villa was awesome and the service very good, but the resort needs a bit of love.

We rang in the New Year and spent five beautiful nights in a luxury pool villa at The Residence. It was a perfect way to unwind after a multi-week safari in Tanzania. The food was diverse, first-class, and better than expected - especially the New Years Eve buffet on the beach unlike anything we’ve experienced. The staff was friendly. We took advantage of the excursions, including a Stone Town tour, and a dolphin swim. There were some challenges with excursions being overbooked and the pricing is steep relative to what you can find on TripAdvisor, but the convenience of arranging through the hotel and departures from the beautiful pier make it worth it. We'd suggest reserving excursions early on arrival. Other highlights for us were the glass infinity pool, kayaks, spa, bike rides around the beautiful property, and monkeys everywhere. If beach swimming is your thing, you’ll need to time the tides. For us it was early morning or late evening ocean swimming and pools during the day. At low tide, the beach was not usable, but as we understand it, that is the case almost everywhere in Zanzibar. Kudos to the team at The Residence for a great finish to our trip!

We stayed 5 nights in a Prestige Ocean Front Pool Villa in January 2024. I would rate every category (overall, room, service and location) with a 3. If food was there, it would also be 3 stars. Having worked in hotel top management for many years, I have overall been disappointed with the place. The value to cost ratio is just insufficient and the management obviously has no eye for details (terribly bad lighting in the bathroom, overall maintenance of the villas, etc.). Spending that much money, I‘d try to find a better place next time.
