Breezes Beach Club and Spa

We stayed at Breezes for 10 nights having spent two nights in Dar es Salaam. Kuoni had arranged for our transfer from the airport to the resort and we arrived to a warm welcome from Luca who gave us the low down on the how Breezes operated. We were then shown to our accommodation, a Superior Garden room. The room was spacious and very well presented with a minibar, air conditioning and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Next time we will book a room nearer to the sea front as ours was quite a walk to the sea not that that was in itself an issue but at night the paths were not brightly lit. The staff were friendly welcoming, efficient and very engaging. The nightly entertainment was varied and we particularly enjoyed the telling of the history of Zanzibar by a storyteller from the nearby village. The food varied between all you could eat buffet and a set menu with the variety of choice and quality being excellent. We were lucky to have sight of the full moon rising out of the Indian Ocean which made the tides particularly high thus allowing us to swim in the sea every day although the pool was there if the tide was out. The excursions available were varied and we particularly enjoyed the reef walk, a trip to Stone Town, the Jozani Forest, Mangroves and the snorkeling trip up the coast. Whilst it was hot the cooling north westerly breeze kept us cool(ish). Thank you to all who made this a memorable trip, we will definitely make a return visit.

A wonderful stay at Breezes Beach Club & Spa We arrived late Sunday night and found our happy place in Zanzibar. A very comfortable bed (with netting set up on a frame in a way that it doesn’t touch you, keeping you bug bite free), nice size room and lovely en-suite bathroom. The space was well kitted out. We did not have any issues with bugs in the room. Do bring bug spray for evenings, especially when the breeze is low. We arrived with out luggage-a different story-and found the staff very helpful. Melissa was great in opening the gift shop (check it out) for us to purchase swimsuits and flip flops to start enjoying our stay. We walked out to the beach, found lovely chairs and good beverage service and we let all the stress go. The staff here is amazing, wonderful, kind and very friendly. From our room housekeeper, to restaurant servers, to bar service, to yoga and spa center, to the reception staff and to the scuba diving center- they are all top notch- hospitality is their middle name. We choose Breezes as our hotel because of the dive center on property. Kiri, the manager, answered all our pre-trip questions in a very timely manner. When we arrived without our gear, she set us up with top notch gear- mask, wet suit, fins, etc- and even sunscreen. She and her team took great care of us and they are great. I want to talk about the food! Yum! We are not here to eat same old, same old food. We were so happy to experience 2 evening buffet meals in which we experienced new flavor combinations. The first night was their “Spice” dinner. More of an Indian influence. The spices of the island were used to make salads, main courses and desserts. The second buffet night was their “Swahili” dinner where they used coconut oil, milk, and meat to make this special event. Both evenings we tried a little of everything, taking a little more of certain dishes after we asked staff what their favorites were. Their recommendations did not disappoint. They offer such a variety of salads, breads, entrees and desserts. Loved the coconut sorbet and the Spice ice cream- I know, sounds different but give it a go. Delicious. The non buffet evening menu had lots of variety- Each evening there was different dinnertime musical entertainment. Breakfast was an expanse of fresh fruits and lovely breads, including a pancake and waffle station as well as an omelet station. Their coffee is really good- but I like to switch it up and had a fantastic cappuccino- wonderfully balanced. Lunch is served in a different location beachside. The menu covers a lot of ground so you’ll find something there. Did I mention the staff is great? They are! I would mention each by name, but the list would be super long, and really, they ALL are fantastic. Went to the yoga and meditation center for a Yin yoga class. Prema is a great instructor with a wonderful soothing voice. If you haven’t taken a yoga class before I believe this would be a wonderful time to experiment. The hotel grounds and

From check-in to check-out, everything was perfect. The hotel is beautiful, the service was top-notch, especially staff are very friendly and knowledgeable,the food was amazing. Highly recommend! Perfect place for a relaxing getaway. The tranquil environment, and exceptional service made my stay unforgettable.

Wonderful staff, attentive, knowledgeable, kind and keen to make sure your needs were catered for. Good variety of food, lovely bar with selection of drinks. Beautiful setting, although a bit of a journey from airport. Nice shop on site. Hotel has guards around grounds but they are discreet

First time for us at Breezes, and we loved it. From the meeting at reception to the time we (sadly) left every member of staff were first class. The hotel and grounds are beautiful. I had read reviews that mentioned the seaweed on the beach. For us, it didn't matter at all. The sea was like a bath (so warm) walking in was amazing. The breakfast had something for everyone, and evening meals were spot on. They had different themes and live music to match. We loved them all. We would have no difficulty recommending Breezes and hope that we will be able to return ourselves.

Breezes is a fantastic hotel set in beautifully landscaped gardens on the very edge of the Indian Ocean. The staff are extremely attentive and helpful. Rooms are very well appointed and kept very clean by the staff The food and drink is excellent.
