The decoration style is beautiful, but the food service is far from what it should be at this price

From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Angela, our villa host we have been spoilt. The villa is beautiful, clean and airy with a huge bath, day beds (inside and out!), a plunge pool and a minibar. The food has been exceptional. Every breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, bar snacks and dinner has been beautifully prepared and presented. Some nights a buffet, other nights a 5/6 course dinner with a theme. The bar staff are great, always keeping an eye out in case you need a drink or a snack. The pool, beach and sea are lovely. Borrow some reef shoes and go for a walk at low tide along the beach spotting crabs and beautiful shells. The gym is good and the 2 massages we had were top rate. The yoga and meditation sessions were inspiring. The water sports team were great fun. Moosa took us on the snorkelling trip, which we’d highly recommend and on an organised reef walk where we spotted star fish, sea cucumbers and beautiful coral. The only downside is that we have to go home.

My son and I spent 5 days here after safari. It’s a beautiful hotel, the grounds are stunning and the 2 room villa was very comfortable. Service was excellent throughout, the standard of the food was extremely high and we felt welcomed and cared for. We didn’t have any difficulty finding a sunbed by the pool or on the beach and were well served with drinks while there. We took a trip into Stone Town, arranged by the hotel, which was very interesting. All in all a very special stay.

Excellent quality and lovely attentive stuff. Always had a look at you an your needings. The rooms were just great of excellent quality and were very very clean. The food was very good. A option for every taste. No problem to get a kids menu but they are also able to change main dishes a little bit for the little ones.

May stay at the Baraza was just wo wonderful only too short (three nights only). We received a very friendly welcome and were very attentively looked after throughout our entire stay. My bungalow was simply fantastic, very spacious and, at approximately 150 square meters, fully equipped with everything: a spacious living area, a super comfortable bed, a large bathroom, a dressing room, a small kitchen, and much more. I felt like a princess in thousand and one nights. Friends who saw my status photos wanted to know if I'd booked the President's Suite. The breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired, and the dinner, whether buffet or set menu, is also excellent. The entire hotel complex is very spacious, beautifully landscaped, and well-maintained. Everything was spotlessly clean. Conclusion: I highly recommend the Baraza.

We had an amazing stay at Baraza Resort and Spa. Enormously friendly staff that were helpful with everything you needed, quick response. Beautiful villa and surrounding areas. Clean and a fantastic athmosphere. The food was top of the line. A place I like to return too.

We are fortuitous enough to have stayed in some incredible hotels around the world including the Seychelles, Maldives, Thailand, USA, Hong Kong and Japan to name but a few. However, Baraza topped the lot both in terms of personal service (NOTHING is too much trouble) and facilities. The gym and full service spa are fantastic and our villa was simply stunning. Perhaps most worthy of note was the food, whether it was a buffet (which was nothing like a buffet in the usual sense … speciality food stations galore from stir fry to sushi and sashimi and never a grain of rice out of place), a la carte or table d’hote (which was never actually a ‘set menu’ as if you didn’t like the whole lobster or the alternative choice they would happily substitute for something else!), it was all incredible. Whilst desserts at most luxury hotels look stunning invariably they never taste as good as they look! At Baraza they tasted even better! We would particularly like to thank Baraza for making us feel so special without adding the usual ‘extra’ to the bill. We have regularly been offered a romantic ‘chef’s table for 2’ on the beach when staying at some gorgeous resorts, usually at an extra cost of hundreds of pounds. Not at Baraza, we were surprised at lunch time one day with exactly that which was truly fantastic and then again one evening in a candle lit location next to the pool. Both were provided free of charge and were the highlight of our stay. Well done Baraza, all of your 5 star reviews are throughly deserved. We will be back!

This place is like heaven on earth. The staff are phenomenal and attentive to your every need. The breakfast buffet is great, the dinners delicious and the activities (both free and paid) are well organised and fun. We were half board and paying for water ($3 a bottle) was the only irritating thing about this trip as the accommodation is already a) super expensive and b) wasn’t branded bottled water, rather stuff they filled in their own glass bottles. By the end of the week our group of 5 spent close to $200 on water!
