This is a great place to stay while visiting Zanzibar. The rooms are quite nice and it's great to have a little private lounging area for yourself. The shared areas are also nice, and there are games and kayaks/ SUP to use free of charge. Only downside is that the ocean has quite a bit of seaweed right in front of the resort. But there is also a pool which is nice to lounge around as well

Beautiful and Relaxing
We had an amazing stay in this beautiful place. Seasons has a perfect atmosphere: laidback, simple, stunning setting, freindly and helpful staff. We woke and went to sleep with the sound of the Indian Ocean. The menu was varied, reasonably priced, and delicious. Best of all were the friendly staff who made us feel welcome and helped us with queries. The chalet was comfortable and perfectly simple. The atmosphere atvrhe lodge is relaxed and laidback. Whether it's a swim in the pool or sea, a walk on the beach at low tide, or just hanging out in the chalet, this was the best place to spend a few days.

Gorgeous ocean views from our lovely bungalow. Welcoming staff. Food was good, could be improved. I would return but they are closing and going to be a much more expensive resort when they reopen. Too bad.

Amazing place, if you like a small and personable experience this is the place for you. The small number of guests allow the staff to cater to the individual. Nice quiet beach and the lodges have their own personal beach overlook yard area. The lodges are gated so it really is your own space with room and outdoor area. Definitely will be returning in the future.

The staff were very nice. The beach is beautiful.The views are amazing.The food was overpriced though.There was no water at night and the wifi was weak. The manager had a condescending attitude. Most of the hotel needs an upgrade.

Beautifully and creatively decorated/built, gorgeous, easily accessible and swimmable beach, friendly and very accomodating staff. I got a free upgrade to one of the beach side rooms and it was sublime, a very dreamy vacation for a very good price. It’s a bit buggy, but they take care to spray rooms and leave spray for you. No air conditioning but it isn’t much of a problem bc the breeze at night is cool. The room is hospitable, they thought of all the details. So many places to sit and look out at the beach. Food is good and enough variety for prices. I would love to come back again.

Beautiful location & amazingly attentive staff
Seasons Lodge is situated on the most stunning beach on the East Coast of Zanzibar. The bungalows look out on to the ocean & the view is breathtaking. ALL the staff are so attentive but not intrusive & the food albeit is a limited menu is delicious, however by request they will conjure up anything you fancy. This is a quiet, relaxing place which is hard to come by. The beach is luxuriously quiet & rare, my partner & I had the most amazing memorable time & we will definitely return. Many thanks to all the staff at seasons lodge who made are stay simply perfect.

This hotel was wonderful.
I’m able to say that the beach was temporarily my backyard. The staff at Seasons Lodge Zanzibar are some of the most respectful, polite, hospitable people I’ve ever met. I received queen treatment during my stay. Housekeeping was excellent. I’ll definitely tell my friends about this hotel. I want to come back ASAP.
