Superb relax in the nature

The location (property is surrounded by original bush with flowers and endemic plants), service, staff (always very kind, helpful and respectful) and food were all excellent.

Perfect female traveller trip!

This was the nicest venue I stayed in during my time in Zanzibar. The team are always looking after you and ensuring you are comfortable. The beach/pool area is so relaxing and beautiful. As a solo female traveller I was worried I wouldn’t feel relaxed, but honestly this resort is just perfect! Huge shout out to Jumani - a true gentleman The resident cats for me were fantastic, so friendly and desperate for attention and soooo cute! Really great value for money and I’ve already booked to come back in December! I would recommend doing the reef walking one afternoon with Juma. He knows all the spots to find starfish and makes you laugh every step of the way!

We had an amazing stay at a lovely hotel, with fantastic staff.

The location, service, staff and food were all excellent. I couldn’t fault anything. The staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.

A peaceful and refined dream stay in a lush corner of paradise.

Our stay at Tikitam Palm Beach Zanzibar was absolutely perfect. The property is surrounded by lush greenery and is tastefully decorated with elegant furniture — peaceful, spacious, and spotlessly clean. The food was outstanding. The chef and his team are truly talented, creatively blending flavors and always taking our dietary preferences into account. The staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and respectful — always present but never intrusive. A true haven for anyone looking to relax in nature, with great comfort and style. Highly recommended!

Incredibile

Absolutely unbelievable! They did everything possible for us. It was the best holiday from our life and we are a simple couple that visited before almost 30 countries. The chefs are cooking diverse and they made us to love things that we tried before and we didn’t like. The place is integrated so well in the nature, you don’t need to visit Jordani forest because resort has everything that is there. Location super good, also you can count each time on their recommendations. They knew to create super romantic dinner for us and for my birthday they exceeded any expectations. 11 stars experience. We just hope we were good tourists for them because they were making a simple holiday to be the honeymoon that everyone desire. PS Super safety resort.

Unique and authentic

I stayed at few hotels in Zanzibar and here it is different - original bush has been saved , added flowers and endemic plants.African style architecture blended inside the garden , tastefully decorated rooms and some villas, each has different theme. I like the local arts around.Pool on the secluded beach , so wonderfully relaxing …Life slows down🌴☀️The cuisine is absolutely delicious. I enjoyed Zanzibar traditional music band

Didn’t live up to expectations unfortunately

The villa was comfortable and had a great bath to soak in. Restaurant setting was fantastic but food choice was somewhat restricted and felt similar each night. For example they had a BBQ night one evening but it’s done on a hot griddle plate, same as every other night, not a proper BBQ.

Quite, calming and serene environment. Room smell quite relaxing and clean.

Not a breakfast person. The staff always prepared the coffee just the way I wanted it! I also enjoyed the tea hour, quite refreshing. Bed prepared and sprayed whilst one is enjoying dinner, Priceless!
