    Reviewers Mention About Chuini Zanzibar Lodge by NEWMARK

    Chuini Zanzibar Lodge by NEWMARK is praised for its incredible food, lovely staff, and breathtaking views. The rooms are clean and the housekeeping service is excellent. The food is delicious, althou (Read More)gh some felt the portions were small. The resort has a serene environment and there are nearby activities to enjoy. The only downside is the lack of a beach for swimming. Overall, guests highly recommend the lodge and praise the exceptional service and beautiful surroundings. However, some found the resort to be isolated with limited activities.

    Very good
    Visit to Zanzibar
    It's very nice comfortable resort in remote location... Generally it's very calm and relaxing... Very peaceful. I felt very relaxed and happy
    Rooms and toilets need renovations... Towels etc.. All needed to be replaced... Air conditioning fully serviced

    Beautiful stay, so quaint and relaxing. Bonus is the local fishermen each morning and night
    The serenity was impeccable
    The pool was being constructed and the menu was quite sparce of options

    Superb
    beautiful hotel and the staff are an absolute delight
    staff were amazing, they couldnt have done more.beautiful views over the ocean.
    due to the location of the hotel, there isnt much to do very close by (particularly when the weather is bad), the hotel could help this by having something going on a little more often. they had a live music band on whilst we were there but only one night out of the three. during the days it was very quiet

    Great food, friendly staff, I wish rooms were better
    The food was amazing very very delicious and the staff were friendly.
    It felt like in the room there was mold. Hard to breathe. Also it wasnt the moneys worth. Looked really good in pictures but the reality was different. Not sure if the mosquito net around the bed was as a decor or actually meant to be used and if so it had holes in it.

    Bad
    TO AVOID AT ALL COSTS
    Nothing
    TO AVOID AT ALL COST ! This is the third hotel we stayed at, and didnt have much choice as we planned it last minute and cant express how bad this place, nothing was good from the food, the room, the hygiene, the staff, its was just terrible. To start off, I got FOOD POISONING after eating one first meal upon checking in at their lodge. I started having high fever about 8 hours after lunch, started vomiting, had diarrhea, muscle weakness, etc. I spent the whole night with fever and shivering. The next day I had to get a doctor as we thought it was malaria but it wasnt. Thats how we wasted three days of our trip and cancelled our excursions. Food quality and service were absolute disasters too. There are countless experiences here, to sum it up, they are extremely slow, quality is bad, even the manager admitted having food poisoning. While I was sick, I tried to eat something out of their menu, so I went for French fries and a juice. It took them more than 1 hour to prepare the food. We got the junior suit to have a living room, and ALL FURNITURES ARE DIRTY AND SMELL DAMP. Even the curtains are disgusting and the mosquito net covering the bed isnt even big enough to cover it and it has holes in it, so we had cockroaches and mosquitos inside. The shower was broken, rain shower was flushing water on the wall and the hand shower was not functioning as the water was leaking from the faucet part when switching to hand shower. On top of that, we had no water. When we complained about it they said they were going to turn it on and we had to wait 15-20min. So basically they just decided they were cutting hot water in our suite for no reason !? Well exactly. Because next time we went for a shower we didnt have hot water again and had to request it again. Absolutely unbelievable ! The charged us 24 dollars of infrastructure tax even though the page says its $1 per person per day, so we should have paid 6.

    Superb
    Relax, unwind & tranquility
    Everything. The location is beautiful so lush and green perfect to unwind and relax. The staff and management are so attentive and friendly 10/10. The fact that housekeeping visits again after sunset to spray the room to prevent mosquitoes at night is very thoughtful. I love that breakfast is made to order therefore guaranteed freshness. Lunch & dinner the same. The food is very good. Its just so peaceful. You are in nature.

    Calm. Serene. People.
    I loved the chill vibe, thats exactly what I needed to relax and escape from a busy city life. The place is so calm and serene that its easy to forget about any troubles and youre able to truly rest. The staff working there is always smiling, willing to help with anything. They truly make this place a dream vacation destination.

    Very poor
    Do not recommend
    Staff were friendly and very accommodating
    We stayed at Chuini as our last stay here after spending nearly two weeks in zanzibar. On arrival at 2pm, our room was not ready. We waited just over half an hour for this. We headed out and came back late evening and noticed dirty duvet, bedsheets, pillows, towels, live and dead bugs all over the room. Unclean surfaces and mosquito net with rips which did not even cover the bed properly. We understand lodges cannot control amount of bugs, but there was even bugs in the tray where we were suppose to drink water and tea from. We stayed in a few lodges in Zanzibar with no issues. The wifi did not work at all either and the room was so far out that our data was not connecting too. As it was late, i decided to let the team know so it can be sorted the next day. The following day we was given a new room. The new room was nice, but still unclean sheets and no wifi connecting on either phones. Then, there was a very strong drain blockage smell in the room. As this room connected to the bathroom, we could smell this in the bedroom. We wasnt feeling well at the time, and the smell made it worse. I let the team know again - who came over and said it is bad and they will give us another room right away. Being provided 3 rooms - all came with the same issues. The third room was ok - but still no wifi working, unclean pillows/sheets, but we decided to stay as we had 1 night left. The drinking glasses again, had loads of bugs crawling inside the glass and around. We couldnt drink the water provided. The only good thing here is the staff were very helpful and accommodating - as was everyone we met who work and live in zanzibar. The staff helped us a lot when we felt unwell. Lodge roofs are not properly sealed hence all the bugs inside - as mentioned our previous lodges were perfectly fine.
