I enjoyed my stay at Karafuu Beach Resort largely because of the service. It was excellent, the staff were just so friendly and helpful. I was there out of season so it was hard to judge what the resort would be like at full capacity but the beach is lovely and the lodge is well maintained.

Karafuu Resort, meaning 'cloves' in Kiswahili, is situated on the East Coast of Zanzibar Island. The hotel was built in harmony with the environment with local materials according to ancient Zanzibar traditions: roofs made of makuti (palm thatch) and walls of coral. Inside Karafuu, old traditions meet luxurious finishes and first quality materials. Karafuu Beach Resort is an oasis of peace shaded by coconut palms, frangipani and bougainvillea, surrounded by long deserted beaches dotted with coral cliff.
