we stayed here on our honeymoon in June of 2011. The people were nice, and it was a great place to eat. They have a nice infinity pool and bike/kayak rentals which are good for relaxing. We stayed here 2 nights, then moved somewhere cheaper b/c it was pricey here. But Jambiani is amazing, and this is a good gateway. More

My boyfriend and I stayed on Jambiani in two previous guest houses that were mediocre. We walked to the end of Jambiani and found Coral rock hotel. It over looks the ocean on a small cliff. I really liked the set up, there is a pool directly overlooking the ocean, and a restaurant with a great view as well. We... More

Ok place to stay when their neighbor, the Red Monkey, is closed in the rainy season. Rooms clean although slightly moldy as some of the mattresses are placed directly on concrete. We got an alternative room the next day and where satisfied with the new one. Bathrooms ok, hot water in the shower. Food mediocre, friendly service. Be advised NOT... More

As the owner of Coral Rock, I have to inform you that you have made a mistake regarding your review. We have two half day excursions - one being the dolphin safari and the other being Jozani forest. You have mixed up our 3 island Marine Safari Tour (Safari Blue - full day excursion) with the dolphin Safari Tour (morning... More

I've been dithering over how to rate Coral Rock. Three point five would be perfect but is not an option, so am giving the place the benefit of the doubt with a four. There are a number of inconsistencies that with a bit more attention would make this place a true 4 and maybe even a 5. Upon arrival I... More

I visited Zanzibar with my girlfriend in January this year, our intention was to travel round the island, check out the sites maybe even take a flight to mainland Africa, once we arrived at Coral Rock we just couldn't leave. I was truly blown away by the location, staff, surrounding village and sand bar, you can relax your days away... More

Perfect for all ages. Very friendly staff and management makes you feel at home. Rooms to fit your budget and family size. Great food and music in the restaurant. Exquisite pool overlooking the turquoise Indian ocean. Being in the middle of the peaceful village of Jambiani, it's the perfect place to experience real Zanzibar culture with western luxeries. I highly... More

I visited this hotel located in a beautiful location by the beach on a coral rock, when i travelled to Zanzibar. I took the fast ferry from Dar Es Salam and it was very comfortable and luxurious, in the VIP section. The ferry took less than 2 hrs. After arriving in Stone town I walked few hours and decided to... More

Many thanks for your feedback. I am glad to hear you had a relaxing and enjoyable time at Coral Rock. Just 3 points in answer to your review comments. 1) The towels provided in the rooms are cream in colour - not white. 2) All air-conditioners work and your rooms unit is only 6 months old, often guests have the...

I've stayed at Coral Rock last year and it was a great experience. The staff was very friendly, they took us even at local bars, prepared fruit salads, helped us with boat hiring and trips and in the last day the owner Neil even gave us a music DVD with African music. Luckily for us Neil's birthday was in the... More

A day spent at Coral Rock is a day well-spent. That was the primary feeling we had after a two week stay in Zanzibar. Whether we spent the day snorkeling with the hotel's resident sea captain, 'Captain Chicken,' or taking a long walk on the sand-bar at low tide after a morning of reading by the lovely pool, it was...

Coral Rock is the place to go for relaxation! The hotel is located in a quiet area, and you practically have the beach and sandbar to yourself! Meals are also really good at the restaurant, which has the most beautiful view over the sea, and there is a great vibe, with the restaurant staying open until late at night. The... More
