I guess I have a hard time stomaching paying so much money to feel like I'm staying in a hotel that has cheap tile fixtures, uncomfortable beds, and bizarre customer service. Its not that I'm cheap by any means - all the rest of the hotels that we stayed at were just LOVELY, and some were more expensive than this,... More

This is an intimate and quiet lodge with a gorgeous beach, but a bit pricy. There are 15 garden rooms (attached but quiet), 12 deluxe (2 rooms/building), 4 superior deluxe (2 rooms/building) and closer to the ocean, and 1 ocean suite (separate). All rooms have balcony or patio, A/C and ceiling fans, safe, hairdryer, mini-fridge, coffee and tea supplies, and... More

From the moment of arrival to our departure, the staff, from the front office manager to the ladies cleaning the beach, provided us with exemplary service. Chef Samir met with us everyday to review his highly creative and quality menu and to see if he could make it even better for our tastes - it does not get any better... More

Great place to avoid crowds and noises, probably the most relaxing place I stayed in! Great friendly and helpful staff. Food is just perfect, dinner each night was like an adventure. We've done snorkeling and diving with the hotel Dive centre, I used the spa and had a great massage, the local village is a short walk on the beach... More

I spent only one night at Ras Nungwi but it was well worth it. Not a place for young single people but perfect for couple and generally speaking people who don't like noise and crowds. I booked a room with garden view (cheaper) but was given a room with ocean view (nicer) due to the low season. It could be... More

The Ras Nungwi was just the right place after a 13 day Kilimanjaro trek. The spa offered a wonderful and much needed massage and pedicure. The onsite dive shop was excellent and I enjoyed 2 days of diving without having to worry about anything. The room was beautiful and after camping most of my time in Tanzania, it was luxurious...

Wonderful place to go after a safari as the sounds of the ocean lull you to sleep. It is worth paying a bit more for he beach front cottages which have amazing views of the pristine white beach and the turquoise ocean. The bathrooms are a bit on the small side but the cottages are very clean and have little... More

Helpful staff. Exceptional food. Management bend over backwards to be helpful which can backfire if guests take advantage and break the house rules. Overall, a good 3 star hotel, with excellent food, convenient for the village (the only hotel in the area that allows non-residents access is Hotel Z). Rooms are generously proportioned. The pool and beach areas are nice... More
