I had a great experience at SANSI Kendwa, this time I went to the south & decided to try pearl beach & to my advantage I met the same GM Joseph and he understood what I wanted& my stay there was nothing but great. The cocktail nights were my favorite. Pool cleanliness has to be observed, electricity was also an issue.

We spent 2 weeks (Nov/Dec 2023) on an All inclusive basis. At first we were a bit disappointed to find that it was not the 5 star we were expecting but this didn't stop us having an absolutely fabulous holiday. Yes, some bits are a bit tired - it is Africa. The hotel was more 3-4 star but do not let this put you off. The rooms, restaurant and facilities were very clean and it was very good value for money. The courteous, polite, attentive staff could not do enough to ensure we were happy and having a great holiday from start to finish. Laid back, chilled-out two weeks in paradise. What more could you ask for? I am vegetarian and they catered very well for me. Thanks to the chef and to amazing Stellah who ensured I always had lovely options. Zena, Judith and Latifa also went above and beyond with their service, chat and happy approach to everything. The bar staff were outstanding. In particular, Julien who was a gentleman. He welcomed us most days at the beach bar, was a great host and very knowledgeable too. Abdul Hamid and Sulleman were also amazing (bar and pasta station). The beaches at this hotel were stunning. The evening entertainment was as you would expect however what made it special was the involvement of the staff and massai who created a party atmosphere. Thank you to Alex for everything you did to make our stay so wonderful too. Overall, this was a wonderful two weeks in paradise!

Very friendly staff looking after your every need. Very good food and lots of variety to choose from. Very nice rooms and beds. Excellent beaches and some nice restaurants are a short walk away. Make sure you draw cash before arrival as the closest ATM’s are in Paje.

Cape Town, South Africa6 contributions
This hotel is on a budget 3* standard. Firstly they don't have wifi in the rooms so you have to sit at the restuarant/reception area for wifi - this is unheard of for a '5* resort' Then there is no designated smoking area, people are allowed to smoke everywhere but in the rooms, so the hotel just stinks and there are dirty ashtrays everywhere which the staff dont seem to care to empty. I was up at 5.30am, no other guests were up and the ash trays were still full. There is only 1 restaurant and its very small. The food is decent but lacks variety. You cant swim at the beach as there is way too much coral/plants, also a lot of crabs so it's best to walk with shoes. The rooms need maintenance especially the bathrooms. The kettle has a Euro plug but the wall plugs are British, so you have to pay to hire an adaptor unless you travelled with one. Its quite windy everywhere in the resort. Its not a holiday resort like the other options in Zanzibar. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money.

The welcoming was really plaisant and the hotel is beautiful! The experience was amazing and we are very happy about this travel. Perhaps we are a little disappointing about the experience on The Rock because we arrived late by the fault of an employee of the hotel who didn’t booked the driver. The buffet is not huge but good, perhaps if you are a picky eater you are going to be truly displeased. The room were nice and comfortable but we had many problem of electricity and water. The vue we got there was remarkable and unforgettable, despite some inconvenience Zanzibar is a true paradise on earth!

Jambo ! Thank you very much for choosing Pearl Beach by Sansi, and for taking the time to send us your wonderful feedback and regret to hear that you were disappointed with our transport provider and the issue with the Electricity As explained during your stay, the island of Zanzibar is submitted to very low voltage and as our water pumps are electrical, it can cause low water pressure. Fortunately, it is always for a short period of time. Our Transport service provider (African Spirit) has been informed regarding the Taxi delay, as we are working with them as a partner, we make sure that the service provided meets the requirements, As a team, we aim to provide all of our customers with a high-quality experience, and we hope to see you again in the near future. Warm regards, All Staff at Pearl Beach Resort by Sansi

Stayed here over Christmas. The rooms are. Lean and comfortable but the bathroom needs some attention water leak from the bidet so floor is always wet. Food is good and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Staff only speak broken English so communicating can be difficult at times
