A charming boutique hotel with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and competent. We liked the ecological set up. Everything was clean and well organized. The food in the restaurant was tasty and of high quality. The beach is beautiful and well maintained. Swimming at high tide was pleasant and the sea is calm due to the reef further out. We mainly relaxed, but did also some exciting sailing with a traditional outrigger boat.

Nothing to dislike. Mattresses in Africa can be a bit firm for European tastes, but there are softer ones available upon request, which is welcome.

Beautiful position on the beach. Fabulous staff. Very relaxed.

The garden room we had booked was small and tight in the entrance to the hotel. It wasn’t in a garden! We asked to move and had an upgrade for two nights and spent two nights in their duster hotel La Luna. Both were great but The Loop the best. The only problem with both hotels was the constant music playing in the bars restaurants and round the pool. Elton John singing Candle in the wind was a bit much for breakfast in Africa!

Absolutely wonderful resort! The staff were exceptional nothing was too much trouble for them and they were all so friendly! The rooms were spacious and very clean. The mattresses are on the hard side but they do offer a topper for those who prefer a softer bed. The pool area was lovely and we loved the relaxing bar area . The vibe was super chilled, don’t think we wore shoes the whole time we were there! The staff arranged both our excursions, one to Jozani Forest and also a village tour which was one of the highlights of our stay! Meeting the local people and even visiting the local school and getting to chat to the children. The beach was great and very quiet, we walked most days and although you do get approached to buy things we never once felt pressurised or uncomfortable. Everyone was super friendly and happy just to chat with you. I’d definitely recommend The Loop if you’re thinking of visiting Jambiani

Nothing! Everything was perfect

The whole place was exceptional! The staff, the food, the room, the location, and our experience at The Loop was 10/10. The staff, from the cleaning girls, bar staff, reception, massage ladies, and the maintenance crew were all amazing, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. I am surprised this resort does not have a 5* rating! We cannot wait to visit again, and wish we could have stayed for longer. I would like to keep this place a secret as it was probably the best holiday we have had anywhere in the world, (and we have been all over!) but we enjoyed it so much we just have to say how great it was. Thanks to everyone from Joyce, Barnaba, Lucia, Olivia, Mona, and Makkame and everyone we have forgotten to mention, but we loved them all... I have not been paid to say these great things about The Loop....you just have to go and stay there to see that it's all 100% true! See you soon guys and girls! xxxx

I can't think of a single thing we didn't like.

The view is awesome! There are several places in the hotel to relax and enjoy the journey. The rooms are very beautiful and the service is excellent! The staff were very nice and caring. We tried a lot of plates from the menu and all of them were delicious, big thanks to the chef 🙏. All the team was always welcoming us with the smile.

I loved everything about the Loop! I had been to Zanzibar before but never to the Loop. I had some first timers with me this time around and saw the Loop as an ideal place to stay. It did NOT disappoint. Our stay was amazing! The resort and views were breathtaking and everything was so intentional. We truly enjoyed the service and amenities. The staff was amazing, especially Is'haaq. He checked us in and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. I could not imagine returning to Zanzibar and not staying at the Loop. Can't wait to come back!

Nothing. Everything was great.

The service was 10/10, all the staff were so friendly The pool area was nice which was just off the beach Thursday night they have a buffet and performance night, where the food was varied and tasty On the beach which you can walk along at low and high tides Just a note (not positive or negative) for future travellers that there is no fridge or no TV in the room

Like most of the hotels in Zanzibar, the cost of the room was quite high The bathroom has a very strange set up as there is no door and the toilet backs onto the bed by the opening (50cm from the bed to the toilet). I think a door needs to be put on. No shampoo or conditioner provided, just shower gel. For the price of the room would have expected this Apart from the Swahili night on a Thursday the food was average. Try the pizza at the restaurant next door!

We stayed here for 4 fabulous nights early October, after a couple of nights in Stonetown and a safari on Tanzania and Kenya! We were so glad we picked this resort due to it's location, size of the resort and value for money! Jambiani is an authentic village in Zanzibar, with seaweed farming, right outside the resort on the beach, so you can have a taste of the true culture. However this does not take away any comforts or luxury from the resort - all the rooms are situated around this amazing pool, which then had views of the beach. The staff were amazing, and the food was excellent! You also had alternative restaurants just short walks up the beach. Make sure you go for a sail and/or snorkel with "Mr Coconut" on a traditional dhow.

Position right on the beach, fabulous views from our bed of the sea! Lovely staff, very happy and friendly, couldn’t do enough for you! They seem to have got everything right with the design of the rooms. Plenty of pegs to hang things on, lots of storage in the bathroom, ample electrical sockets, efficient air con, good shower, we loved having our own sunbeds. Amazing professional African show Saturday nights with delicious traditional bbq. Good breakfast. Lovely spacious pool area, with the rooms around the pool or facing the beach. Never crowded, so relaxing and many sunbeds around well spaced out. Quiet location with small choice of other restaurants but just a short taxi ride to Paje for a busier nightlife.

The bed was very hard, (which does seem common in Zanzibar) The drinks from the bar sometimes not cold enough.
