OMG, simply paradise. The location is amazing. We booked the bungalow at the beach and I couldn’t be any happier. It was everything I had hoped for and more. The staff is fantastic! So friendly, so helpful. We received a complimentary massage and it was bliss! If you want rest and relaxation in an idyllic setting with palm trees and a beautiful beach with white sands and people who will make your stay an unforgettable one, then book this place! The WiFi is fast, the shower warm, the service amazing, and the location is PARADISE! Thank you guys for making our short stay a memorable one! What a great way to end this bucket list trip! Asante Sana!!!! ❤️

Among the various facilities of this property are a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation offers nightclub and a concierge service. We liked everything about this hotel. The staff is supernice and helpful at all times. They helped us with several activities outside of the hotel during our stay. The pool area is beautiful, the restaurant is cozy and the rooms are always clean. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at the restaurant everyday and it was great. Don’t forget to ask for ”today’s special” when ordering dinner. Once again, all the staff are great but a special thanks to MJ and Lissa. If you’re going to Jambiani make sure to spend a few nights at Zen, you won’t regret it! All the best from Elin and Jonathan.

The Karibu Beach Resort team is A-MA-ZING!!!! My husband and I were so excited to be there for our honeymoon!!! The hotel is brand-new, extremely clean, gives a direct access to the beach and the staff will go above and beyond to meet the customers' needs. We almost exclusively only eaten at the hotel open restaurant as the food was delicious (my husband and I discovered lots of Swahili dishes and we loved them). Special shout out to the dream team: Janeth, Violet, Franck, Ashton, John and Moussa who made our stay so special with their kindness, chats, suggestions and always made sure we were fully satisfied and happy. We definitely recommend KBR and looking forward to coming back. Bonus: we've been upgraded to the best room of the hotel on our first night as they knew we were on our honeymoon. We woke up with a spectacular view on the Indian ocean 😍
