The last part of our trip ended here and what a great conclusion. The staff is super nice and friendly. There smiles make your day :-) The bungalow was great and clean. The bed was comfortable and we did not mind showering with a little bit of salt water. No problem at all. They give you a big water bottle... More

My husband and i spent our honeymoon (we are both 50 years young) in this hotel from the 27th of january till 2nd of february 2012, and it was really excellent. The place itself, the beauh, the rooms, the food, and especially all the people working there. It's one of the most romantic places we have even seen. Go and... More

We're 4 Australians who stayed here during our 1 month visit to Zanzibar. The hotel is a peaceful retreat only 1 hour drive from stone town. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the infinity pool was amazing. The bungalows are large with comfortable queen sized beds and nice bathrooms. There is a private beach but the tide is...

This hotel far exceeded our expectations. We travel a great deal, and I had concerns it might prove to be "basic". My fears were totally unfounded.The rooms were cool and comfortable. The food was equal if not better than that we have experienced in 5* hotels, presented beautifully. The staff were warm and friendly, nothing too much trouble,whilst professional. We... More

While unfortunately we were unable to stay here because it was fully booked, we spent a wonderful day here as refugees from the ghastly Seasons Lodge two doors down. The management at Pongwe Beach Hotel were very accommodating and gracious which saved our stay in Zanzibar from being a complete disaster. I highly recommend anyone to stay here and cannot... More

The hotel is quite remote, ca. 1h taxi ride from stone town and the airport, the rooms with basic facilities and unfortunately no aircon are direct at the beautiful beach. The beach is perfect, no sellers and most of the time you are the only one on the white sand and a sea of dazzling turquoise. The staff is friendly... More

I wrote in the guestbook 'If I die, in the unlikely event that I go to heaven, it will probably turn out to be Zanzibar and Pongwe beach.' We had a fabulous week here: white sand, turquoise ocean, azure sky.The management and staff are friendly and helpful. There was limited menu choice for us as vegetarians but once we had... More

We came here for 4 nights at the beginning of November 2011 as a couple for a little downtime after our African safari. The location has both positives (exclusive, pristine stretch of beach patrolled by Masai, raked every morning, great amount of beach lounges, cute flag and bucket arrangement which indicates you want beach meal/drink service) and negatives (isolated so...

Everything you read about this place makes you wonder if it really can be as good as everyone has described it, well don't worry - it is as good and maybe better! We stayed there for 10 days and so wished we could have stayed longer. From the friendly pick up at the airport, through the personal welcome that everyone... More
