Best choice in Zanzibar
Perfect simple beach holiday - the location is perfect, right on the beach. The staff are super friendly, the included breakfast is delicious and plentiful. It's not fancy but very good value for money, I felt welcome and safe.

Loved the customer care. Staff very committed to helping you. Went over and above to play with the children. Pool inviting. Small resort but 5 star. Good chef with choices. Food was a bit expensive when same meal in stone town was much cheaper but all resorts marked up food. So going to another reort was not a solution

We felt great at Pakachi - asante sana
We really enjoyed our staying at Pakachi. Rooms are basic in a rustic style, but cleaned impeccably every day. Very nice to have the room prepared for sleep each evening :) Good to have a pool for the low tide hours (also for a quick cooling, as the beach in front does not offer a good entrance in the sea, due to many rocks) Food is tasty, diverse options and well priced. Steve is a nice and careful host and so is the whole staff - we felt very welcome and we thank you all. Will return for sure!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel grounds are nice, the beach itself is good, just not great for swimming. There are rocks/coral & even when the tide is in it doesn’t get deep forever. You can walk around, even at night without issues, which was great! The pool is quite nice! We found the service & staff were wonderful! The rooms are nice and clean, however could use a little work. All in all, as long as you remember that it is a 2*, most people should be satisfied.

The best service
Our stay at Pakachi was incredible. The owner provided hands down the best service and all of the employees were super friendly. For anyone seriously interested in having all of the amenities, there is no A/C in the standard rooms, but in our opinion, it enhances the experience of really living on the beach. The food was incredible, the service was incredible, and we could not have asked for a more relaxing stay. We look forward to returning to Pakachi!!

Most amazing views
We absolutely loved our stay Pakatchi!!! We spent four nights at this wonderful place and wish we could have stayed more. The staff are extremely friendly. The food was delicious, and most of all the view from our beach bungalow was just awesome. Few steps down some stairs and you right on the beach. Highly recommend paying a bit more for that amazing view. Waking up to sunrise over the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing was incredible. There a great pool for swimming when the tide is out. We are very simple folks and don’t need luxury, so our bungalow was perfect for us, however if you are looking for modern fittings, bells and whistles and aircon , then you may want to look elsewhere as the bungalow are very basic and rustic which we loved.

Value for money
The Pakachi beach resort is real value for money. Steve the owner is a gracious host and ready to go the extra mile for his guests. The hotel is situated right on the beach in breathtaking surroundings. The food is excellent with 2 professionally trained chefs. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is well maintained used it every day. Thanks Steve for a great week. Cheers, Bob

Great hotel, good location, great Bar/Restaurant
Wonderful bungalow style rooms and hotel right on the beach. Spent 4 days here and overall had a wonderful experience and would gladly recommend to a friends and family. Pros; Great staff with spot on bar tending, great food menu with a rotating special menu that did change several times for the 4 days I was there, and all of this with the tables and bar overlooking a beautiful view of the beach. An owner who frequently was around and incredibly helpful in arranging activities when I asked (and not pushing an agenda like some other hotels I stayed at in Zanzibar), and great to have a beer and chat with in the evenings. Great ambiance, not too noisy and still close enough to hop over to other areas whether its Jozani, other beach areas for kite surfing, surfing or snorkeling. Cons: Not necessarily a con, but if you're looking for a party hotel, might stick to a big hotel or hostel type in Paje. Felt it was more a pro and not a con depending on what you want.
