Recensioni su Seasons Lodge Zanzibar

Posto bellissimo dove trascorrere una vacanza in assoluta quite. La location ti permette di godere il mare e le meravigliose maree di Zanzibar. Il personale è molto gentile e professionale con una grossa note di merito alla cucina e alle pietanze che la struttura propone. Ci torneremo sicuramente!!

Siamo stati con mia moglie in questo lodge per 4 magnifici giorni. Premetto che non amiamo le grandi strutture e preferiamo in genere posti non troppo grandi ma carini ed in stile con il posto e con l'ambiente circostante. Abbiamo trovato il Seasons un posto magnifico. Le camere con il loro giardino di sabbia privato che rialzato affaccia sul mare sono bellissime, ben curate, pulite. Come potrete vedere dalle foto le camere sono circondate da vetri ed il letto guarda verso il mare, la parete che affaccia sul mare è senza vetro e ci sono solo delle persiane con le zanzariere (anche se di zanzare non ce ne erano). Mentre si dorme si è cullati dal rumore del mare che con la alta e bassa marea si allontana e si avvicina e si è rinfrescati dal vento che scorre tra le persiane. La mattina ti può svegliare la luce.. ma il suono delle onde ti fa riaddormentare. Io ho trovato questo appartamento sul mare magnifico. Il personale è molto gentile, la sera preparano la camera per dormire. La zona bar vicino alla piscina è molto carina ed i grandi letti appesi sono fantastici, comodissimi. La musica di sottofondo del bar è molto bella, il cocktail alla canna molto buono. La spiaggia sotto il Seasons non è molto grande ma basta fare pochi passi verso nord e c'è una bellissima e grande spiaggia. Come tutte le spiagge in Zanzibar queste si riducono con l'alta marea e si estendono con la bassa marea, è un ciclo di circa 6 ore. Devono migliorare la colazione facendola più ricca. La cucina non è male ma dovrebbero variare il menu tra pranzo e cena. È bello anche fare una passeggiata per Pongwe, noi accompagnati dal Masai "Mario" abbiamo fatto una visita alla scuola del villaggio e lasciato una donazione (registrano tutto su un libro delle donazioni). Mario è molto simpatico parla molto bene italiano e gestisce il negozio dentro il Seasons. Per chi ama posti di gusto non troppo grandi lo consiglio vivamente.

La struttura si affaccia sul mare in una posizione perfetta per ammirare le maree. La tranquillità è l'ingrediente principe delle giornate condito con abbaglianti colori del mare. Per spostarsi dalla struttura è necessario prendere un taxi (andare a Kiwengwa, ad esempio). Il bagno avrebbe bisogno di una ristrutturazione.

We had the most wonderful stay at this rustic beach resort! We could not recommend it more highly. If you are looking for a manicured resort style hotel, this is not the one for you! It is so much more than that! The beach view cottages are beautiful and to wake up every morning to the sunrise is very special. Watching the stars come out at night while lying on the day beds on your own private beach is incredible. Things we loved: - someone comes round to set up your room for the night. Put the mosquito nets nights around your bed and bug sprays so you can sleep easy knowing there are no mosquitoes - The food is delicious. The menu changes daily so you never get bored. We ventured out for lunch one day and regretted it - The staff are lovely and very attentive Thank you Chris and your amazing team!

3rd stay in Seasons Always wonderfull Local and fresh food Nice typical bungalow on the beach Excellent service

3 days relaxing - amazing view and sea, nice property, pool and restaurant, very delicious food and very friendly staff

Not our first time coming here and it certainly will not be our last. We are just so in love with this little piece of paradise. We booked the cottage with a private pool, and it was just heaven lying at the pool, overlooking the ocean being utterly mesmerized by the tidal movements. The cottage is beautifully decorated, clean and airy. A big thank you to the staff who were very friendly and attentive

Seasons Lodge, Zanzibar is an absolutely fantastic location. I stayed as a solo traveller and felt very safe at all times. It's idyllic, pretty much paradise on earth in my view, and I will definitely stay again. Located on Pongwe beach, which has a crazy tide - when it's in it really is in, and when it's out it's distant, but that added to my experience. White powdery sand and relatively calm waters, made my early morning, and evening strolls along this quiet, peaceful beach so enjoyable. I loved my cottage, the raw nature of the decor, the seclusion and tranquility, and having my own outdoor space to relax as I wished. Breakfast was wholesome and I had the best dinners here (having stayed at other properties in Zanzibar during my trip), the dinner menu changed daily and was very tasty. The scenery at Seasons Lodge was surreal, staff were very friendly and accommodating and if you want to be close to nature for rest and total relaxation, I highly recommend Seasons Lodge Zanzibar. It probably won't suit travellers who want a shiny, modern, 5 Star hotel, but the scenery and facilities were definitely instagram worthy for me. I love boutique hotels for their individuality and quirkiness and Seasons Lodge did not disappoint.

Overall it was a really nice stay here! Staff is very friendly and helpful. The chef is extraordinary good! The rooms are very big and clean, some need little renovating. Beach is ok, better use water shoes for swimming. It's only possible on high tide.

The positives: The pictures do not do it justice. The rooms are nicer than depicted and the beach is lovelier - greener and bluer hues. It really is lovely. The reception area is stunning and having your own private beach - great. The drawbacks: The shower water is straight from the sea so you can never get totally clean. It ruined my hair and I felt I could not shower for the whole time which was not pleasant. The restaurant staff are really slow and if you complain, they just ignore you. One lunchtime, we were the only guests and we ordered a simple sandwich and a soup. After 45 minutes we asked where the food was and we heard the pinging of a microwave. They had forgotten and then brought the food in 1 minute. We were sitting outside the kitchen and there were 4 of them in there. Sadly this was not an isolated incident. One evening, we purposely ordered our dinner 1.5 hours before dinner started. It was still late. The restaurant staff were sulky and uncooperative most of the time. The trips they provide are expensive and not good value. We paid a fortune to go snorkelling and the local company was disinterested, dived in to see dolphins ignoring us and were not concerned with our safety. Our expensive trip to Stone Town, the guide was on his phone the entire time and not talking to us over lunch. He knew nothing about local shops either. The couples massage was 120 Euros and they told us (rather than asked) they were using a certain oil, it turned out this was the super luxurious, expensive one and I paid 120 USD for 2 massages. The Massai tribespeople on the beach are very very pushy and do not leave you alone. you want to take a nice beach walk and end up getting roped in to looking at someone's paintings on the hotel's private stretch of beach. It was very non-relaxing. Due to the sea water (we stayed in other places that didn't pump water straight from the sea) and the attitude of the restaurant staff I would not stay here again, but if these things do not bother you and you are not intending to do any trips, then do stay here!

This hotel is as good as it looks in the photos. It’s in a quiet part of the island, which suited us, and there weren’t many people in the beach. The staff were very helpful, and when we asked for a taxi, the drivers were reliable and safe. I highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed at Seasons Lodge for 7 nights in one of the private lodges. It is a little private paradise, with great view, easy access to the fantastic beach and water. Great food and drinks, excellent service and the staff is wonderful. Always helpful and flexible. We give our warmest recommendations.

WOW! What a place, this was an absolutely beautiful place and made extra special to know that it’s is run and was built by the local community!! The food was amazing, the beef stir fry is an absolute must! It is so peaceful and our room overlooked the beach, views were incredible and watching the sunrise was truly wonderful!

We had an excellent stay in a picturesque oceanfront cottage. I think they have just nine of these private and spacious bungalows that open directly onto the ocean. No TV or AC, just the sound of the waves to lull you to sleep. Absolutely idyllic. We had one problem that management quickly resolved. All the staff were super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was fine as is dinner although with limited offerings. There are a very small number of restaurants within walking distance with greater selection. The tide at this beach is just amazing to watch how the vast amounts of water move hundreds of meters. Wild! This is an uncrowded area with all the exotic remote tropical vibes you're looking for!
