Positive: From the moment you arrive at Upendo Resort, you’re met with a level of beauty and serenity that’s truly unmatched. The villa is perfectly positioned right in front of the best view in all of Zanzibar — a stunning panorama of the turquoise Indian Ocean and the iconic Rock Restaurant. It’s not just a view; it’s an experience that takes your breath away every single day. The service at Upendo is nothing short of wonderful. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay feel personal, comfortable, and luxurious. Whether it’s a special request, a spontaneous excursion, or just a quiet sunset moment, they’re there to make it unforgettable. The food, the ambiance, the design — everything blends together to create a boutique experience that feels exclusive and deeply relaxing. It’s the perfect mix of barefoot luxury and authentic Zanzibari charm. Upendo Resort is currently rated four stars, but it absolutely deserves six stars for its unique location, incredible service, and unforgettable atmosphere. If you’re looking for a truly magical escape, this is it.
Negative: I loved the unbeatable location — the villa faces the most stunning view in Zanzibar, overlooking the ocean and the famous Rock Restaurant. Waking up to that view every day was truly magical. The service was exceptional; the staff were warm, attentive, and made everything feel effortless. The design of the property was elegant yet relaxed, combining luxury with a laid-back island vibe. It felt private, peaceful, and incredibly special — the kind of place you never want to leave.
Summary: My stay at Upendo Resort was nothing short of incredible. From the breathtaking ocean views and unique location to the e
