Utupoa

"De locatie aan het mooie strand tussen de palmbomen is fantastisch. Uitermate rustig en weg van de grote resorts. De lodge is charmant en authentiek en heeft alle comfort. De keuken is uitmuntend. De eigenares Joyce en de staff zijn super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het kon voor ons niet beter! Dit was het beste verblijf van onze hele roadtrip op Zanzibar."

"Utupoa was the best choice for the second 6 days of our stay in Zanzibar, it exceeded all our expectations. The location is perfect, quiet, right on the beach, on a great stretch of beach. The atmosphere of the building itself and the common areas is breathtaking, there is something interesting to see on every square centimeter, it gives a very special experience. Our room was clean and spacious. The food is excellent, and the shared dinners create opportunities to connect with others. I will never forget the kindness of Joyce and Maria, their positive attitude towards people left a deep impression on me. The staff is outstanding. They are kind, helpful in everything. We are grateful for the time we spent there, it was wonderful. I would like to return to this enchanted place one day."

"Utupoa is a little gem. Joyce succeeded in making an accommodation feel like home. Joyce, Maria and the rest of the staff are incredibly warming and welcoming, willing to organise community dinners, nights out and including karaoke night when requested :) Joyce is also available to help organising transportation, snorkeling and other activities. The house is lovely decorated, with an ancient touch and full of comfy places to chill out. The beach is just at one step out, big and white sandy. An amazing stay, thank you! We are willing to come back 😊"

"It truly felt like a home away from home. We travelled with our children, aged 2 and 6. Joyce, the owner, and the staff were all wonderful; we felt at home from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing holiday right on the beach. The beach was not too crowded, very safe, and still close enough to many activities. Additionally, Joyce was really helpful in organising a car or a boat for excursions. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. The pool was also excellent. When we weren't feeling like going out, the kids enjoyed running around with the dogs, while we sat with a book from her collection. There are also board games available. We loved the home-style meal times, breakfast, and the dinner buffet."

"It was a beautiful home away from home. Greeted with a smile and wonderful reception by Mariah. Joyce is an amazing hostess, you feel like a house guest while here. She has been in Zanzibar for a long time and is able to point one in the right direction for excursions and authentic experiences. We’ll recommend Utupoa to anyone."

"Nothing was not to our satisfaction."

"Incredible location by the beach Accommodating and friendly staff, they helped us with few issues we had as our luggage was not delivered. Beautiful house with loads of places to relax. It felt like being in a holiday secondary house. We loved the company of the 2 dogs."

"The food is great at the guesthouse but also heck local restaurants few minutes walking on the beach for lunch as prices are cheaper. If you do not have a car you are stuck in the guesthouse as apart from the beach there is not much to do. It is a great place to relax for a couple of days. Try the massage 200 meters from the house on the beach (turn right). Think of this place as a guesthouse where you will share diner and breakfast with the owner. As other guests indicated there were few issues with pumps and water but those were fixed quite quickly by Joy and her team."

"Incredible place. Small paridise right on a beautifull white soft sandy beach. Joyce the owner is a great host and her staff starting with lovely Maria will make you never forget your stay at Utupoa. Highly recommended"
