Stay VERY FAR AWAY from this place
Stay very far away from this place!! Several other couples and families left this place as we did for other accommodation on the island. No food in the restaurant. Staff abandoned to try and sort things out by irresponsible owners. No A/C working. It is listed as a 5 Star resort, but nothing close… maybe 2 star. We tried to contact the owners to resolve our issues, but they we just incredibly rude and u helpful. You will 100% regret if you book to stay here

Staff were friendly and polite, and the food was good, although a bit pricey. The menu is very limited. The property is old and needs some renovation. It is promoted as a 5 star hotel, but it is clearly not one. Owners and expedia should rectify this. The rooms have old, moldy furniture, and the A/Cs do not work, so none of us had a good night's sleep, and it was even harder to take a nap during the day. When we arrived, the grass was very high, the swimming pool dirty, but when reported to the staff, they quickly improved on that. I would definitely not return to this hotel.

Truly exceptional
I have been to Zanzibar several times, and this place is just awesome. First the caveat - it is not a place for party animals. It is a small quiet place for relaxation The bungalows … super large, two bedrooms, very nice design. Simply outstanding Grounds and pool … the same. Pool is actually large, grounds are impeccable … and the beach superb Restaurant … haute cuisine. Ingredients are exceptionally fresh and high quality. But the menu is perhaps overdone with “exotic” items at the expense of more standard things … for example, there was only one fresh fish option when we are 20 meters from the ocean. OK, there are several alternatives within walking distance … Service … again impeccable. Special thanks to Candy but also several others that I don’t remember the name. The manager Laurent did a great job keeping things together In summary, one of the best choices for a quiet relaxing retreat ….

We stayed there for 5 day. Beautiful property with only 6 villas so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Staff, room size, and food,10/10! A couple issues during our stay: they bleached my pajamas, the taxi they arranged for us to go to the airport was 45 min late, hot water, power, and internet was inconsistent. They were addressed immediately when we brought it to the team. I would recommend staying there

Great hotel, great service, great food. Personal touch in every aspect of your stay. We felt like staying at a friend's mansion, added the 5 stars service. Number of staff exceeds number of guests, so you have someone at your service in every single minute of your stay. Only if you need them of course as privacy of the guests seems to be top priority too. Let's hope we get back there soon.

Anna of Zanzibar is such a beautiful resort. The villas are stunning, so comfortable and always clean! The spa is lovely and treatments available are varied to suit all price ranges which is great. The staff are so friendly and nothing is a problem at all, all our needs were fulfilled throughout our stay. The food is great and it's so nice to have a choice of menu for each meal. I'd definitely stay at Anna of Zanzibar again and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to visit Zanzibar!

Paradise Zanzibar
Had a great trip to Anna of Zanzibar after a great Safari.It was a lovely experience... A special thanks to Haroon and Simaile who looked after us very well and also Micheal who went the extra mile. I think the Villas need a little bit of an update considering it's a five star resort. We found sometimes some of the staff weren't as accomadating as others. Also you have to remember that Zanzibar has a lot of poverty so in line with that I think you have to be a little bit more conservative.
This is the Serengeti...wow!!!

Incredible.
We arrived in Zanzibar late at night with our college aged son after a week in the Masai Mara. The best resorts are on the far side of the island (East) away from Stone Town so expect about an hour drive. When we got to the Anna around 10:30pm, the proprietor, Michael, was waiting for us and had the chef fix a late dinner (typical of the service we received). The staff was incredibly friendly, kind and attentive as was Michael and his wife. This is a small boutique resort with 5 individual villas which are very spacious. Very large (500') bedrooms and large sitting rooms (400') and very large bathrooms. Essentially small houses. My son slept in the sitting room (which is sealed with doors) and there was not a cot but a full sized bed there waiting for him. The villas are beautiful with carved wood everywhere and excellent internet throughout. At each meal we were asked when we wanted to eat the next meal and where it should be set up (on the beach, on our Villa veranda, by the pool or on the lodge porch. The property is very private, has an on-site spa and the beach is an endless vista of white sand for walking or running. This is an amazing property, incredibly well run with a staff that will arrange or do anything for you to make sure your stay is great. The Anna is a gem of Zanzibar.

Honeymoon paradise
Anna of Zanzibar is a perfect place for couples looking for quiet relaxation and excellent service. We came here for our honeymoon after a safari in Tanzania, and it was a perfect ending to our trip. Michael is a great host, and all of the staff is friendly and always looking to get you what you need. The 5 private villas are large and clean. Each meal is served when and where you want, and the food is always delicious. Aside from total relaxtion at Anna's, Michael also arranged for two excursions for us. We could not recommend Anna more. You will love it.

C'est vrai, l'hôtel Anna of Zanzibar mériterait un petit rafraîchissement, car de petites choses commencent à disfonctionner. Mais le style colonial des bungalows, les volumes, la décoration chic et rétro qui reflète les différentes influences que l'on trouve sur l'île (africaine, arabe, indienne), l'utilisation de beaux matériaux comme le teck et le terrazzo de corail créent un charme et une authenticité auxquels il est difficile de ne pas être sensible. Le temps a permis à la végétation de se développer et la piscine, à quelques pas d'une magnifique plage de sable blanc, est entourée d'une luxuriante végétation où s'ébattent des oiseaux multicolores. Le personnel est absolument adorable et les plats qui composent la carte du restaurant sont vraiment délicieux. Anna of Zanzibar est un havre de beauté et de tranquilité sur la côte de l'île réputée la plus sauvage et la moins courue. Le souvenir du magnifique séjour que j'y ai passé va me permettre de traverser tout l'hiver.

Exceptionnel
Nous avons passé 1 semaine du 17 au 25 mars dans le cadre paradisiaque de l'hôtel. Le jardin est très luxuriant avec des petits oiseaux jaunes très beaux et des singes inoffensifs qui se promènent d'arbres en arbres. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir l'hôtel pour nous tous seuls car c'était la fin de saison (la saison des pluies en avril-mai arrivait) et de faire connaissance avec le propriétaire. Nous avons eu des échanges très intéressants avec lui et nous avons beaucoup apprécié sa gentillesse et sa convivialité. Nous recommandons cet hôtel à toutes les personnes qui recherchent l'authenticité, le calme, ainsi que la bonne cuisine. En effet, nous nous sommes régalés avec les plats proposés et n'avons eu aucune envie de chercher ailleurs. Sachant que nous sommes difficiles de ce point de vue là, ça équivaut à un 10/10 ! Concernant la plage, nous étions venus pour faire du snorkeling et en marchant sur la plage à gauche en direction de la jetée, nous avons pu voir de beaux fonds marins sans avoir à prendre un bateau ou aller très loin. Le personnel est adorable, surtout Iren, Abas et les autres dont nous ne nous souvenons plus du prénom...

Leider hatte ich die Bewertungen vor Buchung nicht sorgfältig genug gelesen. Das Anna ist von einem 5-Stern meilenwert entfernt. Bereits die off-road Zufahrt ist so grauenvoll. dass man gar kein Hotel vermutet bzw. denkt, nicht die richtige Zufahrt erwischt zu haben. Ansonsten: die Wasserversorgung in den Zimmern besteht aus Salzwasser (übrigens wie auch des Swimming Pools), dh man wird tagelang nie das Gefühl von klebriger Haut los, beide Klimaanlagen in unserem Zimmer produzierte mit der Angabe von 16 C nur lauwarme Luft. Als wir duschen wollten fiel uns auf, dass nur kochend heisses Wasser aus der Dusche kam. Auf unsere Reklamation hiess es, man müsse das heisse Wasser ca. 15 Min ablaufen lassen. Also haben wir 5 Tage lang Unmengen von heissem Wasser verschwendet. Die gesamte Anlage um den Pool bis zum Strand ist in einem ungepflegten verfallenden Zustand, wirkt verlassen. Der Strandabschnitt bietet keinen einfachen Zugang zum Meer, sehr steinig. Die Reinigung der Zimmer ist mal besser, mal schlechter, man mag dann auf keinen Fall barfuss gehen. Was ist gut - die Küche und die Kellner, welche sehr nett sind, das Essen ist gut und nicht teuer. Die Karte wechselte allerdings nicht.

Et liten stykke paradis!
Et liten stykke paradis! Ligger i Fredfylte omgivelser, meget god service fra de vennlige og smilende ansatte. God mat fra kjøkkenet, litt stive priser men ikke noe uvanlig for et hotell. Bassengvannet inneholder umåtelig høy mengde med klorin, noe man burde være forsiktig med hvis man er allergisk overfor klorin. Selve suiten bestod av to soverom og et meget stort bad, mer enn nok plass for to personer.
