We just returned from an amazing 10 days holiday in the Bluebay beach resort. Although having read pretty bad reviews, we thought of taking the risk of booking our stay there and have absolutely no regrets... We checked-in on my birthday, and I was warmly congratulated by a huge birthday cake brought to our room that same night ! Unexpected,... more

What a beautiful place. The rooms are above average, staff are very friendly and the setting is incredible. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and the beds are huge. The air cinditioning worked well which was a blessing as the heat and humidity were oppresive. The pool area is well set out with plenty of sun longers and shade. You... more

I have just returned from spending 6 nights at the Bluebay Beach resort. When I initially booked the holiday, the hotel had fantastic review, however since new year there has been an influx of bad reviews. It has made me realise that different people are looking for different things from a holiday and you can't please everyone. I suspect from... more

After a brilliant Safari in Tanzainia, we arrived at the Blue Bay Hotel for a 9 day stay. Rooms were spacious and clean, gardens well mantained and the beach was lovely. Breakfast was appauling a 20 min wait for an egg, the butter was rancid. As for lunch, the only option was to eat in an over priced, sub standard... more

On our arrival at this resort we were taken to our so-called superior room, to find it backed on to building work from the next door development, complete with machinery noise and very loud radio.We returned to reception to be told that this was some tree cutting only but after refusing to accept the room, the duty manager upgraded us... more

Finished a Kenyan Safari with a reaxing break on the Beach, We stopped in one of the suits, and had a great time, The room was kept clean and well stocked (the only problem was the bath plug wouldnt come out) If you get up early in the morning you will see the staff climbing the trees in the luscious... more

We stayed here for a week after a safari in Tanzania. The idea being to rest which we did. Lovely gardens and this hotel is an oasis of calm compared to the italian hotels along the beach!We were in a club room which seemed almost brand new and had a nice balcony with view of the club pool and bar... more

We stayed at the Blue Bay, for 2 weeks in January. The setting without a doubt is beautiful, the beach sand is white and the sea is transparent. That is where the praise stops. The food was poor, breakfast was a non advent and the evening meal for 13 of the 14 days was "from the grill" 13 days of... more

Because of the problems in Kenya our holiday to the Serena Beach and Spa in Mombasa was changed to the Blue Bay Beach Resort in Zanzibar. We have been spoilt by the levels of service at Serena Hotels and therefore we were very disappointed with the quality of service offered at Blue Bay. Never a day went by without some... more
