The environment was clean and Friendly staffs especially Max and Leah

I was not able to swim in the beach. I booked this location because I was interested in the beach but unfortunately the beach wasn’t accessible. One can just look. No possibility to swim in the beach.

Quiet location with wonderful and spacious rooms overlooking the pool and sea with a bar on the side. Mark/Max is a wonderful person who looked after our needs from the time of checkin to checkout and it was totally hassle free.

The shower in the bathroom was old and not working properly and once reported to them they immediately sent someone to repair but it should have been replaced.

The place was very nice in a serene environment. Staff were friendly. Was cosy, and the food was nice. The manager went out of her way to decirate our apartment for my husbands birthday. Thank you, Leah, and thank you, Calamari. I would surely recommend friends over 😊

The road going to the villas needs a lot of attention as it doesn't really portray a good picture of what's ahead. Once someone books, all costs should be mentioned to clients.

We were a group of 6 travelling from various countries. When we arrived, we were met personally by the villa Manager, Sergei, who had been a great help and friend throughout our stay. Everything we needed was provided for to ensure our comfort. The breakfast was good, with some variation. Additionally, the hygiene was unmatched and very pleasant. Our WiFi connection was consistent and we had Netflix and Youtube in each apartment for the days we just wanted to lounge. The area is very tranquil and peaceful, a true getaway in the middle of nature. We were also fortunate to have the pool to ourselves overlooking the sea, which added to the peaceful and calm atmosphere. Our experience was beyond our expectations and the staff were amazing. It's not easy hosting a number of people with different preferences but they handled it with grace!

There is nothing I can say I did not like. We had a truly pleasant stay. However, it is a distance from the city and some activities other than Safari Blue, but the tranquility is definitely worth it if that is your preference.

The staff of calamari resort are amazing, they made sure that we had a great experience throughout. The ambience of the place is unreal, the fresh breeze from the sea is indescribable. I would 💯 recommend this place for a perfect stay. The female receptionist and Waiter Max was amazing.

There was a leak in our bathroom when we showered however it did not bother us that much

The staff are so kind and super friendly. The food was one of the best highlight of our trip here in Zanzibar. The view was super fantastic. Leah and other receptionist were super helpful to us in many ways. They helped me with payment methods even outside of the resort. It was the best experience that i wish to live for again. Highly recommend staying here during trip to Zanzibar.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location is also perfect very calm, the resort is very clean and it has a nice pool area and a very nice sea view. And the food is also delicious. The resort does offer transport services too which was very handy for moving around without any stress.

I personally think that the resort could use so entertainment from time to time.
