If we could give this property a higher rating, we would! My wife and I stayed there as the last stop of our honeymoon trip across Zanzibar, and our experience in this hotel exceeded our expectations! Villa: We stayed at the Sultan Villa, which was very spacious and clean and offered an opportunity to unwind during the day whenever we needed a break from the sun. The bed was very comfortable, and the view of the ocean was dreamy! There is a good-sized patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee first thing and listen to the calming waves. We also got the chance to watch some monkeys playing directly in front of us, which was great entertainment. Food: If you are a foodie, you will love this place. From breakfast to dinner, we were spoiled for choice, including freshly baked pastries, numerous egg options made right in front of you by one of the chefs, local fruit, and freshly brewed coffee. The dinners were two-hour long feasts with different themes each night. We were lucky to experience the Swahili dinner on Tuesday night, with live music to accompany the expertly prepared meals. We also had a special welcome dinner prepared for us on the beach on the first night, which we really appreciated :) Staff: The nicest people working on the property who were always happy to help and made us feel at home! We learnt a lot about the dishes they were serving and their ingredients. You also have someone by the pool area to talk about the tides and the best times for swimming or kayaking/paddling (both sports are available at the property). Pool / beach area: Very comfortable loungers with a direct view of the ocean! The whole property is very well maintained. Spa: Definitely get to the spa before leaving, we had a very relaxing massage and my wife got a papaya facial which she loved. We would love to come back next time we are in Zanzibar! Thank you for everything :)

Beautiful authentic hotel, with an amazing private beach that looks like it was taken out of a postcard. Thanks to the bay, the low tide was soft, relatively to the east and south sides of Zanzibar. Great restaurant with a beautiful view and varied food. The hotel highlight in our opinion was the staff - always kind and smiling, willing to help with any request.

Sharon

From

Georgia

Staying here for a week really reminded me of the early 2000s travel vibes - travellers meeting around a beach bar, long lazy days playing Bao and chatting, rustic gentle bungalows, amazing personable staff helping you in every way possible, then lazing on nearby beaches or at the pool. I got lucky and picked the perfect place. Staff need a special mention - brothers Yasser and Yusuf make a great duo keeping everyone happy and helping with trip bookings, waitresses Jennifer and Ema and barmen Robert and Musa are always ready to serve you with a smile. I can't wait until I can come back! One week wasn't long enough... Oh I almost forgot the bush babies - they are tame and you can feed them every night if you want ❤️

From

United Kingdom

Everything about this establishment is truly remarkable, from the owner, management, and security personnel to the talented chef. The culinary offerings are exceptional; I particularly enjoyed their traditional breakfast, Maharagwe and chapati, which was prepared to perfection. It was, without a doubt, the most delicious Maharagwe I have experienced during my visit to Zanzibar. This hotel, situated by the ocean, offers a serene and delightful experience, perfectly fulfilling my needs for this portion of my journey.

You need to take into consideration the feelings of your visitors....we do not like being targeted by people pestering us to buy from them every time we go to the beach. It really is a negative factor of visiting your wonderful island paradise....it spoiled it for us. Also this happened to us on other beaches in Zanzibar so not just a Pongwe problem....its endemic to Zanzibar.

Pongwe is an isolated beach, at low tide the sea is very far away and, even at high tide, it is very shallow - you cannot swim. Kiwengwa beach, next door (10 minutes by car) is much better, more lively, with many shops and good hotels.

Location is beautiful, near Pongwe beach which is quiet and not many people. The private beach view is so lovely! Not much around the hotel but we wanted a few days of relaxation which was perfect for this. The lodge itself was charming and a unique accommodation, we loved the privacy and romance of it. Good value for money and drinks/food was reasonably priced.
