Reef & Beach Resort - Spa Jambiani

Beautiful sunset, good bar & meals, Amazing facility (literally everywhere is more than great) and nice hospitality. I should have booked here at least 3 nights. If you want to stay near famous beaches, then tourist attractions are not in walking distance, but you dont even need to go, staying in this resort is perfect enough. GOOD VIBE!!

My sister and I had the absolute best time. Thank you Fareed especially. Hotel was top notch, amazing staff, Safari Blue tour is an absolute must. Rooms spacious and clean and the dinner at Bahari was outstanding. Already planning our next trip.

'Jambo' ,Just returned after an 8 night stay, and was extremely sad to leave. If you love monkeys you will be in heaven. I hoped to see them during my stay, but not several times each day, was brilliant,they seem to love showing off in front of the tourists, one day some even made it down to the jetty bar, they are amazing fun to watch. I had a garden room, which was huge, it was sprayed each evening by 'mosquito lady' and the mosquito nets surrounded the bed, however I didn't get bit once - and I always normally get bit. Main restaurant was very good, and there is also an Italian and Indian which you book for either lunch or dinner - and can be booked several times during your stay, if you visit the Indian go over to the balcony area to take a pic as its a brilliant view. If you love ocean swimming this place is a dream, the colour of the sea is just amazing - exactly like being in the Maldives. There is a tide, which changed considerably during my stay but for the first few days managed to get the early morning swim before breakfast in - sea was generally a hot 27'. Totally amazing. There are several sets of steps from the jetty bar to get into the sea - the best 2 being close to the jetty bar. There are also a few cats, and 3 tiny kittens which live near the Italian so anyone visiting please look out for them, I fed them everyday,,so hopefully someone will continue to look after them. Staff are all lovely here, and I have already booked to come back next year. It's about 60 to 90 minutes drive from the airport, and you do need to take out the Tanzanian Insurance, get a visa - which I had problems with online, but you get a form on the plane and do it at the airport when you arrive - 50$ cash, also there is a tourist tax. There are also 2 swimming pools within the complex, which were extremely warm. It was rainy season when I arrived, don't worry it rained a little the first few days but did always clear up and was always baking hot, but the last 3 days were wall to wall sunshine. Try to catch a sunset from the jetty bar - amazing . If you like 'rustic' you will love it here, I loved everything. Huge Thankyou to all the staff who made my stay truly the best holiday of my life ( and I do travel a lot). Hakuna matata , Take care everybody, please pass my warm wishes to all your amazing staff, and See you all next year

Stunning hotel, lovely welcome from staff at reception. Tidy rooms, friendly staff, brilliant entertainment. Indian and Italian restaurant as well as buffet. Beautiful jetty bar with steps into the sea. Food cooked fresh with good variety. Activities through the day, shops on site which accept card payments. Lovely atmosphere across the resort, the staff really made our holiday memorable. Special mentions to Adam - bar staff Leonardo - Italian restaurant and Syed - excursions

I arrived on the morning of my birthday. Debora and her staff in hospitality endured that I had the best sea front room. Decorated the room and had a beautiful welcome to the hotel. During my stay I felt well cared for and considered, even when I wasn't feeling well. Debora ensured I was feeling better and checked on me. Each staff member did their job with a smile and were extremely kind snd generous. My purpose of my trip was a well earned rest and as it was Ramadan, I went at a very quiet time. The weather was amazing the majority of time I was there but become stormy 2 days before I left due to rainy season. Food was consistently good in restaurants. Only fault was snack back would preferred some more quick hot food ie burgers etc and a bit more range. My room.was extremely comfortable and the mosquito net service and sprayed in the evening ensured I did not get 1 bite! The hotel is extremely clean consistently and beautiful views. Swimming in sea available when tide is out.. Thank you so much reef and beach for an awesome 10 days.

The hotel was perfect. Loved the food and all the drinks aswell as all the attentive staff from all sectors. Big shout out to Adam from the bar and Basim from the spa (dla polakow powiedz haslo Szakul zeby dostac discount na massaze ). Loved the monkeys, loved the jetty bar with the pier. There is high and low tides which I personally find really amazing as I've never seen that happen before in so little time. This is all shown on a board by the reception and jetty bar so you know the best time for swimming. I can't fault anything apart from the power cuts and not air con occasionally but that's not on the resort. We had a letter stating the tanzanian government will have powercuts. The hotel was aware and provided free transfers for day trips and extra bits if you were more bothered by this. We personally really loved and enjoyed the place. Highly recommend and will return❤️
