We spent 8 nights at Flame Tree. The bugalow was bright, clean and airy. The staff friendly and helpful. The food good. Breakfast every morning on your balcony. Right on the beach, 5 min walk to main town, Nungwi on beach. Owners very helpful. more

Our first trip to Zanzibar and this was a truly romantic trip to paradise. The cottages are comfortable with huge beds and little flowers adorn the place which is surrounded by beautiful gardens. The beach was white with soft sand and clear warm water. We we thoroughly spoilt by such attentiveness, breakfast served on our verandah and lovely candlelit dinners... more

We spent 6 nights at Flames and had a great time. The bugalow was bright and airy. The staff friendly and helpful. The food good. And the owners, just wanted us to have a good time and went the extra mile to ensure we did. Flames offers a variety of activites and we opted for the sunset cruise with snorkelling... more

As everyone agrees, this is a phenomenal resort. Having come from another, less reputable establishment on the island where we were cheated and abused, this was the savior of our vacation. The room was beautiful. We had the option of having meals on our gorgeous veranda or at the beachside restaurant, where the food was spectacular. The grounds are amazing,... more

Flame Tree Cottages are in the most beautiful setting, with dinner served each night on the beach and the village of Nungwi within easy walking distance. Trips can be organised to visit the... more

On Zanzibar, the hotels seem to be either REALLY expensive or REALLY cheap. This is a good compromise at USD 105 per double room per night. The hotel is at Nungwi on the North coast with spectacular views of the sea and the reef. As at many of the hotels, the rooms are in different bungalows spread out over the... more
