Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was EXACTLY as it appeared on the website. Beautiful grounds, including the spice garden. HUGE bungalows and being surrounded by beautiful foliage. Clean beach and easy access to the ocean. Great staff. Two blue monkeys resident in the trees. GIANT African snails all over. The food was so good. Menus changed often and I was there for one week. Accommodating staff make arrangements to see things away from the property such as tours of Jozani Forest, Stone Town and Prison Island to see the giant tortoises.

Overall a gem but not the paradise it could be.
Top quality result with understated but top quality accommodation, excellent food and outstanding customer service from all members of the team. I could not rate it overall a top score because one element spoilt the total experience for us. The beach is white sand, with clear waters, but certainly not relaxing much of the time. With good reason the beach is not private. Given that it is one of the best on the island, therefore there are a lot of passing visitors. The hotel does restrict them from coming in to the property. The issue is the conveyor belt of hawkers trying to sell. They stand looking at the guests on the sunbeams, and as soon as you go for a swim, pounce on you. Add to this, impromptu african dance routines (again looking for tips), and jet skis. A great beach for people watching, but not the best a lot of the time for total relaxation and to enjoy the beauty. Not, I would stress the hotels fault. We felt that the whole threat of over tourism is a big problem on the island and needs to be addressed urgently by the Government.

Disappointing and unhygienic
Zero hygiene at the breakfast kitchen. They handle eggs with used gloves , and their ‘clean ‘ plates had broken egg shells stuck to them. Service is slooooowwwwww. If you ask for milk, sugar and coffee - that’s 3 trips for the waiter .

beautiful resort worth every penny
I couldn't rate this place highly enough - the pictures online don't do it justice! Everything from the rooms, restaurants, pool and beach are designed beautifully and we loved how each cabin is really secluded in it's own little jungle. The food was delicious - especially in the a la carte dinner restaurant and overall the service was great. We will definitely be back in the future.

Tropical paradise!
Very, very nice! I've seen a fair share of high-end resorts and I can attest with confidence that Zuri truly is awesome! We stayed in a bungalow - it is very comfortable, clean, spacious, the terrace is lovely - facing the ocean and situated on a hillside so you catch the ocean breeze. The outside shower is amazing - you can see an attention to detail at every step. The resort has an abundance of tropical vegetation - a veritable garden of Eden! The food is pretty good but can get a bit boring after the 3rd day or so. The beach is very nice - just like in the pictures! The difference between high and low tide is small so you can swim all day. Overall - very nice and worth the money!
