The property was great , the staff was great however my stay was not pleasant due to beach vendors harassing tourist at all times I couldn’t go swim in ocean because they wouldn’t leave me alone, and even after I told them I was not interested in anything from them they proceeded to disrespect me and say rude things. Because of this I will only return to Zanzibar if the hotel has a private beach because the harassment from the local vendors and the so called “ Masai” people is wayyyyy too much, I couldn’t even enjoy laying on the beach , they would constantly try to talk to me , it was very uncomfortable to even be near the water.

The beach was gorgeous. I know a lot of people said you couldn’t swim for some reason but I had no problem at all. There were some seaweed/grassy patches but you could easily avoid them and just be in the white powdered sand. The facilities were clean and unique. I loved all the wood. The cleaning ladies were very friendly and cleaned the room daily and also did a turn down service in the evening where they sprayed for mosquitos. I don’t think I saw one mosquito the whole time I was there! The pool was beautiful! Service is a tad slow but it’s vacation so we were not in a rush for anything. You could always go to the bar or swim up to the bar to get a drink if you couldn’t wait for a server to come around. The property was well maintained with beautiful flowers and landscaping. The food was good. I wasn’t blown away by any of it but I also didn’t have a bad experience at all. Just overall good food. We tried the Italian and the Indian specialty restaurants which were all inclusive and they were good. The Indian was the best. The main restaurant buffet was decent. We did not try the Thai restaurant (which was also in the all-inclusive package) and we did not try the seafood restaurant which was NOT in the all-inclusive. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I would go back if the opportunity arises.

I had a wonderful experience staying at the Neptune Pwani Resort & Spa. The food was excellent, especially on African Night. The staff are professional yet very friendly making every effort to help make my stay as comfortable as possible. That was important to me since I was traveling as a single woman. The purpose of this trip was to celebrate my 70th birthday. The restaurant staff surprised me with a Birthday Cake, Swahili style birthday song and dancing. It was fantastic!! The spa was relaxing yet energizing and nightly entertainment was enjoyable also.

32 Birthday Vacation
I am so happy and satisfied with my recent stay at Neptune Pwani. I celebrated my 32nd birthday there in hopes of having a relaxing, quiet, and culturally filled birthday. The staff not only went above and beyond by singing and dancing with me and to me for my birthday but the entire staff on the resort were very accommodating, polite and present to my needs. The front desk hostess assisted with excursion recommendations so that I could get a full feel of the culture in Zanzibar and that is exactly what I got! I plan on 100% coming back in the future.

We enjoyed our stay, more like a 4 star
Our room was nice and spacious. It smelt a little musty and the bedding was bobbly which was a little uncomfortable. Lovely pool and beach area. Good drinks service throughout the day. The only staff that let the hotel down were the reception staff. They weren't very friendly and didn't seem to want to help very much if you had a problem or a question. The complete opposite of all the other staff and cleaners etc. Italian restaurant was lovely. Overall, we had a nice trip. I would however say that this hotel is a good four staff rather than five.

Horrible service! Avoid at all cost
The property was great and we had a good time however when we were ready to check out they asked us to pay for the additional night we added despite paying it well in advance. They were disorganized, inefficient and lacked professionalism in dealing with the issue. They would not let us leave making us late for our flight and told our driver to not get in the car. It took them 30min to go through their banking records to realize we did actually pay them. They did not apologize for their error and was very rude to our family.

Fantastic
I am not in the habit of writing personal messages for travel (business or pleasure) that I undertake but in this case I am willing to make an exception. I travelled with my family of 4 to Zanzibar staying at the Neptune resort from July 10 – 23 this year. We encountered some problems in the first few days, specifically, with the hot water provision and so I raised my concerns. We spoke to the General Manager about our concerns. His sense of duty and care towards guests was immediately apparent and he proceeded to resolve matters resulting not only in our complete satisfaction but, in fact, exceeding our expectations of customer service for any top hotel internationally. I am sure his example is one of the primary reasons why the service and pleasantness of the staff generally at the resort is so fantastic.

Beautiful hotel, grounds and beach!
I went to this hotel mainly for the beautiful beaches but was also so impressed with the super well maintained resort grounds and spectacular rooms. The flowers and vegetation were so well looked after and the rooms were very clean and very nicely decorated. The balcony I had was huge with great views. My one complaint would be that the music played at the beach bar was terrible and played the same songs over and over again. It reminded me of bad elevator music. Otherwise I loved the resort and the beach was amazing! Security was nice to have on the beach too. I was less hounded on this beach compared to other beaches on the island. I will try to return later this year!

Fantastic Time at Neptune
The hotel staff are incredibly friendly - nothing is too much effort for them. I think the cocktails on all-inclusive need a bit of work - don't know if they water it down a bit. Some of the evening entertainment wasn't very lively - could create a better island holiday vibe with this and the acrobats they used for one night during our stay was amazing.

Great food and service
Overall friendly and helpful staff, with a good variety of dining options and a good spa. There are a variety of restaurants you can dine at in addition to the main restaurant. The Thai restaurant offered a unique sticky rice pudding - without rice :) Organised activities such a snorkeling and diving from the hotel were very expensive, in the end we went elsewhere to do these things.
