I'm a solo traveler and I was super super comfortable at Babalao Bungalow! Best of all...I extended my stay and Max was super kind to accommodate me! The staff were very friendly and breakfast was exceptional! I got most of my breakfast packed up to go as most of my days was off site for tours and adventures! Thank you Thank you and Thank you Max and Staff for making this solo trip so memorable 💖 Bonus there is a super cute doggie!

Situated in Nungwi, 500 metres from Nungwi Beach, Oasis Blu Beach Resort-Adults Only features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service. Rooms have a balcony with a sea view. It was remote but I liked that and it only has 17 rooms so a very quiet place. Exactly what I was looking for. Adults only and a spa on site. But the best feature was the staff. Excellent attention from the staff.
