Everything! Absolutely everything! The place is a piece of heaven! Don't think of going to any other hotel in Zanzibar. The staff here are exceptional. All of them. Frank at the reception is a true gentleman; he knows what the guests like, and he makes it ready even before I ask. Regina at the restaurant makes your meal an unforgettable experience. She is always smiling, and she gives all her heart to make you happy. Irene is like another sister for me. So kind and respectful. Also, the guys at the restaurant and the guys who take you to the shore by boat. True gems. This hotel is all about the staff. For me, they were family. I love you and I will return.

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.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing food. Professional staff that treat you like a friend. Very well designed & well maintained rooms and facilities. A true tropical kind of relaxed vibe - surrounded by a jungle with a white sandy beach. Very "boutique" as described - not too many people, each guest had his own little piece of heaven. I participated in an amusing Maasai Tribe dance on a weekend dinner. There was even a chill cat sleeping next to my room each day...

    The location is incredibly unique, the lodge has only 5 rooms, the staff really cares about the guests, Margarita was amazing, she went above and beyond to help us and anticipate our needs, she also helped us plan our trip and recommended amazing places to visit. The food at the restaurant was the best we had in Zanzibar. We stayed at Sultan Villa, it has the best views, and the interior is authentic. I truly loved this place.

    Out stay at Pongwe Lodge was amazing. Such a well thought out space, absolutely stunning. Everything about the place was faultless. Our room was superb with a view to die for. The food was top quality but the best thing about the Lodge was the staff. They could not be more helpful and everything that they did, they did with a smile on their faces. I could not recommend the Lodge highly enough. We will definitely return!

    This resort seems as if it’s brand new; every detail has been considered. The staff is stellar, going out of their way to make you feel welcome. The included breakfast is delicious and you are Literally steps from the beach. I had a partial ocean view room and was upgraded for my last two nights- both rooms were great but the ocean view, which was visible from the bed, was great. It’s a fantastic getaway location.

    Tulia Zanzibar is truly a unique resort. Every aspect of the property is of utmost quality, the bungalows are spacious and extremely well appointed. There are only 16 rooms which makes it intimate and relaxing. The food is delicious, and most of all the team is super friendly, professional and will go over and beyond to make sure you spend an amazing time.

    The villa with the private pool was amazing. Very large with a very big terrace. Clean and large pool. You could see the ocean while sleeping on the bed. Beautiful infinity pool. Very private clean beach and amazingly clear waters. We got the last villa on the walkway which gave us the utmost privacy, thanks Pongwe beach hotel.

    For the first time, everything was perfect! My expectations were high due to the positive reviews but they were still exceeded. The staff was exceptionally professional and friendly, the atmosphere and design of the hotel are wonderful, the food and drinks (esp. the juices!) were fantastic. I hope to come back in the future!

    Staff very nice and will do extra things to help. Generally peaceful, although some noise from neighbouring hotels. Nice having bushbabies around and lots of trees. Easy to chat with other people staying. Restaurant area is nice, next to the sea, good breeze from the sea to keep cool. Felt relaxed and safe.

    Pongwe Bay Resort is cozy, with cute traditional hits, but with all amenities. The pool in the center meets the needs for refreshing the bodies and meet other guests. Breakfast is great with amazing service. The owner was very attentive to all guests during the day and the organized evening events.
