The Loop Beach Resort

We are a small resort located in the center of the Jambiani village on the east coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania. The village of Jambiani is considered the most fascinating and exciting village of Zanzibar, because, it has remained unchanged despite the development of tourism over time, with fishermen leaving the sea every morning with their dhow boats and women who grow seaweed in their seaside gardens. Our resort is designed by an Italian designer in an architectural style inspired by the Arabian homes of Stone Town and completed with an African inspired interior design, made of recycled items and paintings by young Tanzanian artists. Everything was built ecologically, thanks to the use of natural lime, an environmentally friendly material, and wood, with very low environmental impact,. A lot of nature, zero reinforced concrete. During a vacation at The Loop guests can experience activities at our Water Sports Center, including kite surfing, sailing and wind surfing school. The latest generation of equipment is available, and renewed every year, to offer the most, or to accommodate guests’ equipment.

Dedicated to M & M and the rest of the amazing staff members

Everything about our stay was just perfect. It's a new hotel with western standards where you can totally relax and read a book. The set up is really all about relaxation. All your needs are taken care off. Monica and Mary are so lovely and make you feel like a part of the Loop family. They cater your every needs and they're always close by to help. I hope your employer has the airconditioning installed in your office already. The food was great, the accommodation was very lovely, the beach in front is endlessly beautiful. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and funny! Thank you so much for our stay! M & M both of you are amazing and missed! Only one point of improvement are the beds they're quite hard.

Loved the environment, The reef area was my favorite area, had a beautiful view of the ocean. Clean and the staff were really nice. Loved the pool area too.. pretty large compared to most I have been in Zanzibar at Jambiani. The band played at night at the reef, awesome music.

Wonderful

Reviewed By A2452MLlindag

I stayed at La Luna Apartments for nine days in January 2022 and I just loved the place. Modern and clean and nicely decorated. Beautiful pool area at your doorstep. The apartments are perfect if you want some privacy and make your own food. Next door Mwezi Boutique Resort (same property) has a good restaurant if you want to be served all meals. Nearby village sells frech fruit and other groceries, just loved to walk around among the locals.

Little slice of heaven

Reviewed By KristianW836

Such a lovely little oasis. Great food, 3 pools including 2 infinity pools, great cocktails and it leads onto the beach. The kids really liked it too as they had a play area with pool, table tennis and 2 two table football games! It’s pretty cheap to stay there as well but you can also visit for the day.

Not what we expected

Reviewed By TasosAnth

This was the first hotel that we have booked for our trip in Zanzibar. It is located just right in front of Jambiani beach in a very beautiful and quiet area and next to Jambiani village and a local market. Although the owner and one of the waiters are very kind, smiley and very attentive we faced some major negatives that we mentioned also to the owner. Before we start we the negatives we would like to mention that the hotel looks very beautiful and promising from the outside and the decoration is in the old traditional style.Some rooms were adequate were others was below standards. Apart from not having a pool this was the most expensive hotel we booked on our trip. The first mistake happened on the time we arrived. Our reservation was made through booking and was a deluxe room with partial view. The manager told us to cancel the reservation and pay directly to them the same amount which was around 85 dollars a night. Apart from being a wrong movement from the staff in that case hotel gains the 15% comission which is supposed to pay. Instead of this we didnt receive any discount and asked also to pay 12 dollars more which finally didnt pay. The second mistake came with the room that were given to us. A small standard room on the back side of the hotel in terrible condition. Thankfully the second day this changed and moved to the one we have paid but the manager said that she didnt know. Not so good management. Another terrible mistake is the cleaning which every day was different. One day they forgot to clean the bathroom, the other didnt change the towels, the third forgot to put shampoo...no shower gel or bath foam at all during all our stay. Another day they forgot to clean one of the cups of coffee which remained like this for 2 days and many days they didnt put water although it was complimentary every day. No need to mention of the misplaced plugs and the unstable power which you face it almost everywhere. Balconies were a good place to relax but luck of chairs and tables which we happily mentioned as a future idea. Another negative is the luck of fridge in such heat. Breakfast was ok but every day the amount was different and much smaller than the rest of the hotels. Restaurant is not the best place to dine as only day ordered and we were totally dissapointed. Also the public toilet used from all guests was also terrible and not clean at all. Many things should be change. Its sad such a hotel in such place to be ruined and not well managed.
