Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa

房間佈置得非常温馨，服務人員淳樸友善，在這裏可以完完全全地放鬆休息和躺平， 身心靈徹底休息的三天，哇

Every single staff member was wonderful from arrival especially the treatment by Supa at reception and dining staff & chefs- Julius was amazing and then all the animation staff particularly Jackson and Nurdin keeping us entertained and fit after all the plentiful food and drinks. The bar staff were exceptional Ramadani, Joel and Rojast. Accommodating and kind with so much love shared across all the services. Meeting, talking and dancing with the Maasai especially Annanas was a life experience. Snorkelling - seeing the sea life in the coral especially the starfish was amazing.

We just had a trip for my mother’s 60th birthday organised by AfricaStay. The party that we had was once in a lifetime. Thank you Karafuu. Although the water pressure and temperature was inconsistent, the power often visibly switched between solar and grid, and the WiFi was completely off the for a full day we had an unforgettable stay at Karafuu. I attribute the magic of the resort to the staff, whom after 3 days back home I miss terribly! Jackson and Nurdin from the animation team kept me thoroughly entertained, dancing and busy all day, I loved watching how they interacted with other guests too — their joy really was infectious. You must do aqua gym with them. A shout out to the Kappa Club boys as well, who also added some magic to our trip, especially James, Inno and Abdoul! At the restaurant during mealtimes Julius, Ally and Lucia never failed to make me laugh and smile. At the bar Joel, Erasto, Ramadani, Rojast, Rizi and the rest of the team were always so considerate and caring. I hope management realises how much of the essence of Karafuu comes from its people. Located 1.5 hours from the airport, it was worth the ride getting there! Make sure you’re there for dinner on Friday night - and try the Zanzibar bread.

Beautiful resort. Great food. Great staff. Everyone is super friendly and really good at their job. The spa was fantastic. The animation team, especially Jackson, was superb. Unfortunately the resort is far away from everything, so you need to hire a car to do anything outside the resort . That’s the only minus point I would give.

Our stay was absolutely amazing! The hotel made a great impression – beautiful, well-maintained rooms and very comfortable overall. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of fresh options every day. The drinks were also fantastic – really tasty and well prepared. And you definitely have to try the ice cream – it was so good! One of the highlights were the evenings by the beach – we had two nights with Masai performances, which were an unforgettable experience and created a truly unique atmosphere. The hotel is a bit far from the airport, but it didn’t bother us at all. It’s also located near a village that you can visit, which is a nice experience. The waiters were wonderful – very friendly and attentive. The pool was also excellent – clean, spacious, and perfect for relaxing. There were different animations organized every day, so there was always something to do. I highly recommend this place – perfect for a great holiday!

We tried to arrange a late check-out today, but the experience was quite disappointing. Instead of a standard hotel procedure, it turned into a negotiation. The price went from $120 to $100 (including lunch) only after we were asked 'how much we want to pay.' To be honest, we felt like we were at a market in Dar es Salaam. We didn't expect to have to haggle over prices in a 5-star hotel. We expected a more professional approach and fixed pricing for such services

I loved everything but to name a few: the stunning beach that even has a walkway into the ocean, the hotel staff’s attention to guest, the gym, the location, the spa and overall the smell of flowers/plants all over the resort. The resort has a charm that all those large hotels (that are so impersonal) miss out on. There was always plenty of food so even the pickiest eater can find something. There is entertainment most of the night and twice a week there is massai dinner/entertainment.

Rizwani — An Exceptional Person I want to dedicate this review entirely to Rizwani, because he truly deserves all the appreciation in the world. Rizwani is honestly one of the kindest, nicest, and most genuine people I have ever met. From the moment we met, he was incredibly warm, welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful. His kindness never felt forced — it was clear that he genuinely cared about making us feel comfortable and happy. His service was absolutely exceptional. He was always available, helpful, patient, respectful, and went above and beyond without ever making us feel like we were asking too much. What touched me the most was the way he treated us like friends rather than simply guests. His warmth, positive energy, generosity, and sincere personality made our experience truly special. Rizwani, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. You are a truly wonderful person, and meeting someone as kind and genuine as you is something I will always remember. I sincerely hope our paths cross again someday. ❤️

We have just finished our honeymoon at Karafuu Beach Resort, and we are leaving with unforgettable memories of our stay. The resort facilities are beautiful, very well maintained, and spotlessly clean. It is clear that the staff take great care in keeping everything in excellent condition, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The food was good overall. If we had to mention one area for improvement, it would be that many of the dishes are heavily based on local cuisine and use a lot of spices. It would be nice to have a wider selection of meals aimed at European tastes. That said, everything was tasty, and we always found something we enjoyed. Without a doubt, the greatest strength of this resort is its staff. Every single member of the team was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help with a smile. We would especially like to thank the entertainment team, and in particular NURDINI. He is an amazing person—always smiling, full of positive energy, and genuinely caring. His kindness, enthusiasm, and friendliness made our honeymoon even more special. People like him truly make a difference, and he is one of the main reasons we will remember this trip so fondly. The resort also offers plenty of activities and entertainment throughout the day and evening, so there is always something fun to do if you want to join in. We would definitely recommend Karafuu Beach Resort to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Zanzibar while experiencing outstanding hospitality. We truly hope to come back one day!
