Park Hyatt Zanzibar

Very lovely hotel with lovely staff. Beautiful and comfortable rooms. My main issue is how long food took to come to the table after you ordered. The food was delicious, but could take 40-50 minutes to come.

Located in the best area in stone town.

We are just finishing a fantastic 5 night stay at the Park Hyatt Zanzibar. We are big fans of the Hyatt brand, especially Park Hyatt and Alila, and this hotel did not disappoint, in fact our expectations, although high, were met or exceeded in most every way.

We arrived at 7 pm and were quickly checked in. We were offered Suite 3211 as Hyatt Globalist using a suite upgrade certificate. We were then given a quick tour of the hotel property, by Concierge Fauzi, which is in two buildings. One is the historic residence of one of the Omani sultans. The other is the main hotel and dining/bar area opened in 2015. Fauzi then accompanied us to our suite and provided some of his restaurant and activity recommendations for our stay.

Our first impressions of the suite were very good. We have stayed in a number of Park Hyatt's and this property compared well with others around the world. The suite was large and consisted of wo rooms and two balconies with gorgeous views of the Indian Ocean and the beach below. We spent a lot of time watching the boats and people moving into and out of the harbor and along the beach.

There is noise from the beach at certain times, especially in the evening, as the local community enjoys the beach and ocean. It was not a problem for us we always travel with a sound machine that blocks out most noise. I mention it just in case you are a light sleeper.

The breakfast was really one of the best ever. Dominica, Happiness, Adventina and a whole host of other capable servers, hostesses, and food preparers met our every need. I have attached 4 pictures showing a portion of the buffet offers. I really enjoyed the sparkling wine (not the cheap stuff), the fresh cut coconuts, fresh juices, and local favorites.

We also ate twice at the restaurant for dinner and, again, the food was really good and the service over the top. Especially liked the lamb biryani served in a clay bowl with a bread coating. See photo. The drink and meal prices are higher than most places nearby, but the ambiance and service are worth it.

We also enjoyed the pool area on the days that were sunny. The gym was also nice. Some of the treadmills needed service and I mentioned that to the first desk staff and they said they would have someone look into that maintenance.

Fauzi, Abdul, and many other concierge staff were helpful throughout our stay in booking dinner reservation and activities. We took the Stone Town walking tour, which was really good. We also took the day trip to an island on a private dhow (local wooden boat). We were hoping for more exclusivity for the boat tour since we paid quite a premium to have a private boat, but the places we could go were, for the most part, crowded with boats filled with people. I would skip that tour next time. It is not the Park Hyatt's fault, and I don't blame the concierge staff in any way, but it just wasn't for us.

Overall great stay and we hope to return again sometime soon since I work on a project in Tanzania on the mainland and it is easy to get to Zanzibar.

We had an amazing stay in Park Hyatt in Zanzibar in March 2023. The location allowed us to do lots of exciting activities, and the food and service were excellent. Special thanks to Abdullah (concierge) and Fatima (front desk) for making our stay unforgettable!

Location is in the middle of stone town; in the historical area.

The decoration of the whole hotel is lovely, rooms are clean and nice. Staff are the friendliest.

The buffet of breakfast is below average and not that tasty, nothing special honestly and not so many choices (compared to the cost of the stay).

We stayed here for two nights, the first night the sound of the ocean (high tides) were very loud, but next day I got used to it. But if you are a light sleeper, bear this in mind.

For dinner we had Biryani at the same restaurant, and it was really good.

Wonderful hotel to stay at while visiting Stone Town. Easy to get to the markets and enjoy local fare. Safe and comfortable. Beautiful views! Most friendly staff I’ve ever met! Fauzi the Guest Coordinator was outstanding. He was a tremendous help during our stay. Will go back!

Hyatt Stone Town is a fantastic oasis by the beach of a busy city.
Go there for a drink or stay there a couple of nights.
The food is good but the scenery is even better.
Unprecedented service and quality.
Luxury hotel in a class of its own.

We really enjoyed Our stay. The room was cleaned and we received lovely pastry by the souf Chef Raj. Thank you so much for a welcome and great dessert. My son loved the breakfast and pastries done by you. Thank you once again.

I would have added more stars... our stay was flawless... really enjoyed our stay for the second time at this magnificent hotel... I look forward to coming again!

Very nice Hotel.the ocean view is breathtaking! The receptionists as well as the waiters at the restaurant are all kind and very professional! I highly recommend this hotel to you.
