The Hotel was brand new and everything was so clean and beautiful. The food was really good and they had a daily special that changed everyday. The breakfast also has daily options of local food in addition to the continental breakfast. The service was outstanding, the staff (even though a few still in training) was always helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and - when in Zanzibar again - definitely would pick this place again. Highly recommendable!
A five-star experience that left us with wonderful memories and a deep desire to return
We had the most unforgettable stay at this beautiful resort in Zanzibar! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. Traveling with a large family can be challenging, but the team accommodated us with such ease and genuine kindness, attending to every single need and ensuring we were comfortable and happy throughout our stay. What stood out the most was their thoughtfulness – they even sent us a lovely message after our departure to make sure we had made it safely onto our flight.

What stood out the most was their thoughtfulness – they even sent us a lovely message after our departure to make sure we had made it safely onto our flight. When a family member accidentally left some items behind, the staff went as far as arranging for them to be sent to a nearby location for collection. That level of care is truly rare.
The resort itself is stunning – the rooms are clean, spacious and beautifully maintained. With multiple pools located both near the rooms and the main area, we were spoiled for choice when it came to relaxing and enjoying the surroundings.
This was truly a five-star experience in every sense and we cannot recommend this resort enough. The property is beautiful, but it’s the incredible team that makes it so special. We left with full hearts and the best memories – thank you for making our trip so unforgettable!
The food here is incredible – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The resort also has excellent facilities, with a gorgeous pool and private areas to relax by the ocean. Everything was spotless and well maintained. Highly recommended for anyone looking for both comfort and luxury.
We spent one night at Legendary and it was a fantastic experience. We loved the enthusiasm and kindness of the staff, the beautiful facilities, and above all, the food. The restaurant exceeds all expectations — without a doubt, the best in Zanzibar. Chef Patricio has masterfully blended the exotic flavors of the Indian and Pacific Oceans with Mediterranean influences, creating a combination that is both creative and delicious.
This resort goes above and beyond with its service. From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed and cared for. The team is extremely professional, attentive, and always eager to make your stay perfect. Legendary Zanzibar Resort really lives up to its name!
As seasoned travelers, we are often invited by hotels to experience their openings and provide constructive feedback. This time, however, our discovery of the Legendary Hotel in Michamvi happened purely by chance. We booked through Booking/Agoda, noticed there were no reviews yet, and the price seemed almost too good to be true. What an incredible surprise awaited us!

We arrived late at night and were warmly welcomed by the general manager himself. And what a meeting that was. The owner is truly fortunate to have found such a remarkable manager — professional, meticulous, and genuinely devoted to ensuring every guest feels special. Every detail is carefully thought through, every request is handled with care, and every client is treated individually. This is the difference between a good hotel and a legendary one.
A concrete example: knowing that we keep kosher, the manager personally allowed us into the kitchen to check with the chef. He went as far as purchasing brand-new utensils (pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, sponges…) just for us, keeping everything separate and perfectly clean. He even adapted menu items to fit our needs. The next morning, he surprised us with a homemade shakshouka (see photo), prepared with such care that we felt truly at home. Special thanks to the chef who followed every instruction with patience, dedication, and real culinary talent.
The rooms — simply breathtaking. We booked a sea-view suite with a private pool, a dream in itself. For our second room, we were generously offered a complimentary upgrade. The suites are brand new, beautifully designed, and feature open-sky showers — imagine showering under the stars. It is unforgettable.
Beyond the manager and chef, we want to highlight the entire staff. Every team member was smiling, attentive, and eager to make our stay perfect. It is clear that this excellence is the result of the manager’s outstanding leadership — he guides his team with the same professionalism and care that he gives to his guests.
In summary, the Legendary Hotel is not just living up to its name, it is already setting the standard. We are proud and honored to be among the first to leave a review here. But soon, you will see many more glowing reviews as word spreads about this hidden gem.
Bravo to the manager Sinisa for his vision and dedication, to the chef Patricio for his skill and flexibility, and to the entire staff for their warmth and professionalism. Together, they make this hotel not only a place to stay but an extraordinary experience we wholeheartedly recommend.

We were completely thrilled from the very first moment. We received an incredibly warm welcome! The entire staff was always extremely friendly and accommodating! The food was fantastic! The rooms were cleaned twice a day, and the beds were beautifully and lovingly made. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. You can feel the dedication and passion that goes into making the hotel. No wish went unfulfilled.
We can 100% recommend this hotel!
We had an amazing stay at Legendary! The staff provided excellent customer care, and the facilities were outstanding – from the many swimming pools (including private ones by the rooms) to the recreational spaces and direct beach access. The views were stunning, everything was spotless, and the outdoor shower was a unique touch. A quiet, beautiful, and super perfect place for families. Highly recommended!
The hotel is newly opened and is a clean, wonderful, and upscale resort in a quiet location with all amenities and large rooms with private pools. Some rooms have shared pools in addition to the two main pools in the center of the resort with a fabulous view of the ocean. The manager is at your service and comfort 24 hours a day, and the resort staff are extremely respectful and professional. 🦾🦾Very good for families.
