We stay 5 nights, the place is splendid; the team really listens to us, is very responsive and does everything possible to ensure that the stay goes as well as possible (room, bar, restaurant, swimming pool,office, front desk, security ...) ; We have had somme difficulties with the car rented via the hotel and they managed four our complete satisfaction. Perfect.

We spent 5 nights at the Sea Cliff Resort and Spa and it was fabulous! We absolutely loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back. Staff were amazing at this resort, super friendly, always smiling, helpful and willing to chat to you showing a genuine interest in who you are, and where you are from. The pools are the centre stage of the resort and are a great place to lounge around while having a cocktail whilst viewing the most outstanding sunsets. We loved all the meals and found the food to be incredibly tasty, great variety and good wine choice for dinner. Luckily there was a great gym where we able to work off those extra calories. The rooms are a bit tired and could do with a revamp, but they are still comfortable with all the modern amenities you would expect from a hotel of this caliber. There are many activities provided by the resort if you are the adventure type and want to explore the island more. We took a day visit to Nungwi beach which was unbelievable, looks like paradise and a great beach to swim in the sea, have a cocktail, sunbathe and just relax. I would definitely recommend this resort for couples just looking to relax and spend quality time together.

This resort is truly beautiful, with two levels of infinity pools that both overlook the ocean and stunning pier. The grounds are made up of lush greenery and include a squash and tennis court, well-equipped gym, club house, jumping castle, kids playroom/daycare, pool table, table tennis table and probably so much more we didn't see. You also have free access to kayaks, SUP boards and a small catarina boat ride. The rooms are simple but sizeable enough, clean and satisfactory.

You best option is to go for a half board inclusive, that's breakfast and dinner (assuming you'll spend most of your day exploring the island). Everyday is a different food theme, i.e. grill, Indian, seafood etc and honestly it is really high standard considering it's all buffet foods.

Interesting tidbits:
>They charge for water during meals (really expensive unless you're working with a strong currency) but you get complementary water in your room bar fridge, so basically carry your water with you if you know you'll be drinking water. Just seemed weird to me to charge for water during meals at an all inclusive -personal perspective.
>Smoking is allowed everywhere (except for inside the restaurant). Just be prepared for the cloud of second hand smoke you'll experience while you're lying out at the pool, or sitting out on your balcony, or sitting on the edge of the restaurant, or the bar. I wasn't a fan, wish there were dedicated areas.
>There are cats everywhere, not just at the resort (only outside, don't worry) but just around Zanzibar in general. I personally didn't mind but if you are severely allergic this may be something to take note of.
>Cocktails are average.

Overall great service, great people, great resort. My hubby and I had a really good time there. No real complaints to be honest, so it was super!
