Really good Dining Experience

The range of vegetarian options at The Mora Zanzibar was fantastic! Every restaurant offered a good selection of dishes that catered to my dietary needs. I particularly enjoyed the delicious egg omelettes and fresh juices at the Horizon restaurant every morning. It felt great knowing that I had ample choices available throughout my stay.

My stay at the resort was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious, which I truly appreciated, and the turn-down service in the evening added a nice touch. I did find the dessert menu a bit lacking, especially when staying with my family. On the plus side, the location facing a stunning white beach was nothing short of paradise, but do pack plenty of sunscreen as the sun exposure was intense.

This resort spa offered a perfect blend of relaxation and luxury. The rooms were spacious and stylish, equipped with everything I needed for a cozy stay. The service was a mixed bag – while some staff were fantastic, others were less accommodating. The dining experience was top-notch with a myriad of delicious options. Overall, it’s a great choice for a family getaway, but be prepared for a few service hiccups.

My stay at the resort spa was quite delightful overall, with a beautiful environment and very spacious rooms that comfortably accommodated my family. The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. However, although the dining options had a great variety, the breakfast could use some improvement, and the location, while nice, didn't have the best beach access. Overall, it offered good value for money but with some areas for enhancement.

I had a wonderful time at this resort spa. The rooms were spacious and stylish, and the amenities made my stay very comfortable. The staff were generally caring and attentive, though there were a few moments that felt a bit off. The location was stunning, filled with lush gardens and vibrant butterflies. Dining could use a little improvement, especially in terms of dessert options, but overall, the food was varied and satisfying. It's a great choice for a family getaway, though a couple of aspects could be improved for even better value.
