Pearl Beach by Sansi

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Pearl Beach by Sansi! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome—genuinely helpful, warm, and always smiling. Nothing was too much trouble, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. The beach is absolutely stunning—powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water. Perfect for long walks and swimming. The gardens are beautifully maintained, lush and tropical, adding to the serene atmosphere. And a special mention to the resident monkeys! They were so funny and entertaining to watch (just remember to keep an eye on your snacks!). They really added a unique charm to the stay. The rooms were spotless, the food was delicious, and the overall vibe was pure bliss. Highly recommend Pearl Beach by Sansi for anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful getaway in Zanzibar. We can’t wait to return!

The hotel location is very peaceful and the staff were all amazing, from the checkin to the checkout. They planned many activities per day, each one really interesting (from visiting a village school to a Maasai concert). The hotel has two beach options and they are beautiful! The tide is something to keep in mind — at low tide the water gets very shallow, but you can still go in and lie down in the water. The pool is also great! The restaurant view is amazing and the food is good! Not far from the hotel beach, you can find a place with thousands of starfish in different colors and sizes — it is beautiful!! The rock restaurant is about a 30-minutes walk along the beach. It is a calm and lovely region, where you go mostly to relax at the hotel or take small excursions (paid separately) during the day. The massage is great! I came to stay 2 days and ended up staying 4! Really nice area and amazing staff!!

It is not a 5-star hotel, but the room, bathroom and hotel areas are exactly as shown in the pictures, and they are good! One suggestion: it would be nice to add blackout curtains in the rooms.

Two beaches, two pools, two bar twice the relaxing, beautiful atmosphere. Such a beautiful place with excellent attentive staff.

It is quite far from most of the main tourist attractions.

The resort is right on the beach with beautiful views of the ocean and beach. We enjoyed the swimming pool and curio shop where we could buy some gifts.

Workers were busy repairing the roof of our room, which was noisy at times. Restricted food menu in restaurant, due to low season.
