Queen of Sheba Beach Lodge, hotel in Pongwe

Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Queen of Sheba Beach Lodge is located in Pongwe. Free WiFi access is available. Each room here will provide you with a balcony, a terrace and a seating area....

The hotel has a beautiful tropical garden, and a very nice and quiet beach near to it. The room was basic but comfortable, with nice view to the garden. The staff is really nice. I appreciate that I could stay longer in the room on my last day, as my flight was late in the evening, that helped a lot. It’s not a luxury hotel, but still a beautiful place to stay and relax. The area is quiet, so only come here, if you want to relax only.

TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar, hotel in Pongwe

Located in Pongwe, a few steps from Pongwe Beach, TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden.

I was at the resort 15-22 May 24 which was off peak season and it was perfect. I opted for full board so breakfast and dinner were included in the price of the stay. Breakfast was buffet that includes egg station (yay for custom omelet every morning) and always had fresh fruit among other things. Dinner during low occupancy was a menu with some options for starter, Main and dessert that changed from one day to the next. I thought this was a fun way to choose my dinner and customize my dining experience. When the hotel had more occupancy, dinner was a buffet with several different meal options. The food was always delicious! There is a mango, avocado, shrimp salad on the pool bar menu; you MUST try it. Resort offers free wifi that was strong and reliable throughout my stay. The staff was very responsive and always looking to ensure you were satisfied and had what you needed. I went to adjust one of the pool chairs and it ‘broke’ and there was a staff member there in 30 seconds to get me another chair. Francis worked most of the days of my stay and was so friendly and offered wonderful customer service. The hotel has a spa and I took full advantage! Michi is awesome, the prices were reasonable and I was able to make multiple appointments because it was quiet at the resort. There is a small gym on site but I chose to walk in the mornings; the road outside the resort is calm and people in the town are very friendly.

This is a very private boutiqe hotel, with just around 12 rooms - about 6 were occupied while we were there. It felt really private. Breakfast is a la carte, with many options. Staff was constantly cleaning and doing small fixes around the place. It was always stunning and spotless.

    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.

    There is not much to do in the local area other than visit other hotel resorts. We did visit a local school to make a donation and I would advise bringing something with you to donate e.g notebooks, sweets, money

    Small remote holiday village with the white sand beach but not having good beach maintenance (seaweed, some dirt on the beach). Little bit far from anything in Zanzibar (far from Stone city and airport, far from spectacular Nungwi and Paje beach). No bars, restaurants, shops and infrastructure outside the holiday resort due to remote location and low density of tourists.

    At first sight you can say....what to do here ?....no shops, just some local fruits selling points, no crowded areas, less traffic than anywhere but more nature than anywhere around. It's exactly the opposite comparing with Paje. If you need a quiet, family friendly, uncrowded spot.....ask for Pongwe. And if you want to understand why I'm saying these....just go on Pongwe beach when low tide is there.

    I did not visit Pongwe town.

    I did not visit Pongwe town. I stayed in a luxury boutique hotel north of the town as I like a quiet holiday. The only problem was the tide leaving an unattractive expanse of muddy rocks. The hotel's pontoon helped with access to the sea when the tide was high.

    The accommodation and restaurant in Weavers Lodge was outstanding and the beach was idyllic. The tide tends to be out until about 3pm (July/Aug stay) and there are some sharp rocks - if your feet are particularly fragile, water shoes are a good idea. We cycled to the next village - an enjoyable afternoon trip. Very friendly locals.

    Pongwe Bay Resort was a perfect holiday location for us. Our room was big and cozy with balcony and view to the garden, staff was extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfast options were one of the best I’ve seen. Resort has its own wellness center and they also have variety of stuff for you to use (paddle boards, water shoes, snorkeling equipment, football, yoga mats etc). Whenever we wanted to ho sightseeing or travel around hotel organized a driver for us. Pool area was also perfect with sea view and nice breeze from the sea.

    -The hotel is really small, with only six rooms, therefore the privacy was greatly valued, considering we traveled for our honeymoon. -The attention from the staff to every small detail was impressive, making sure our stance was as comfortable as possible. -The food from the restaurant was delicious, and every day they would change the breakfast and snack options. -Before arriving, Margarita responded to all of our inquiries in a timely manner and once we reached the property, Frank made sure we were always taken care of.

    We had the best week on holidays ever here! The staff went absolutely above and beyond - we already miss Yousef, beautiful Esther & Aysha. Everything that we wanted and asked for was made possible. The place has that unique Zanzibar feel & we really loved our room, our bed was so comfortable and the view spectacular. Our favourite was the daily change of menu - delicious and local food. We also loved the isolation and quietness of this hotel.

    New, well-maintained, clean, nice pool, ocean right under your feet, very nice staff, Very affordable prices. A place for people who want silence, nothing more Located somewhere... No entertainment, you can walk along the beach in 30 minutes to the place where there are 4 nice hotels where you can eat well, and there is also a hotel and restaurant of a small island. Check the prices before.... Not everyone will enjoy them

    The food was amazing. The place was really clean and well kept. I loved how intimate it was - it probably has twenty rooms max so felt quaint and boutiquish. It was also right by the water so meals are eaten with a view of the water and you can chill all day on the sunbeds right in front of the hotel and in front of the ocean. Really beautiful

    The staff is very nice. There is a nice restaurant built further from the shore, with a nice deck, which makes it possible to go in the water at high tide (the beach shore is not good for swimming). They even provide reef shoes.
