    A little piece of heaven on earth

    rating02 Mar 2026

    Filao beach Zanzibar This hotel, it’s surroundings and staff make Filao beach a truly amazing place to stay - if you want a relaxing holiday in a smaller complex, then this is the place to be - because of where it is you really get the experience of being in Zanzibar, the food is fabulous and always something available. The staff exceed expectation and always go the extra mile with nothing being too much trouble - the wildlife around the hotel is a real highlight and experience. The Maasai team are great and always get involved in the activities with the guests which adds to the vibe. An outstanding management, reception and entertainment team who are always available when you need them. I have been here now for 17 days and have had my flights cancelled due to the Middle East conflict and the hotel have gone beyond any of my expectations to really look after us and make sure we are looked after - if you are looking for a little bit of magic and want to live like you are really in Zanzibar then Filao Beach is the place you need to come it’s a little piece of heaven on earth - this hotel has my heart and I will definitely be back again. Lucia in massage is a definite!

    I recomend this hotel

    rating08 Dec 2025

    “The only drawback of staying at this hotel is that the ocean in this area ‘moves away’ from the shore, so it isn’t as beautiful as on other beaches.” Anton Alloyce, General Manager at Filao Beach by Sansi, responded to this review Dear 61dariuss,Thank you for choosing Filao for your vacation. As for the beach, we acknowledge that the natural conditions in our area may not suit everyone. Thank you for the feedback, and we do hope to see you soon again.Best RegardsAnton.
