Hotels in Nungwi

It is a nice and clean place, especially if you have a room facing the sea the view is stunning. The room's interior is beautiful, but very basic. The beds are good, yet a bit short. The service is friendly but very slow. The breakfast is ok but below standard, also the food ordered from the menu doesn't go beyond "ok". Avoid breakfast boxes prepared by the hotel to take along on an excursion. They...

I personally think that the area is very peaceful and mindful. Slay! However, compared to the price of stay per night; I could have got better accommodation options in Asia. The bathroom was okay and the room facility was also not splendid for the price. On the other hand, it has a nice swimming pool close to the beach. In conclusion, the value for money is not satisfactory.

This was a pleasant place to stay with big rooms and mosquito netting. We only got 2 towels and the bathroom is very plain and simple. There was a fridge but nowhere really to hang your clothes. However the pool is wonderful with enough lounge chairs for everyone. Overall, a good place to stay and enough security. A very good restaurant also!

I recently stayed at Amaan Beach Bungalows for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as I remembered. The sea view bungalows are fantastic, and the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet offers a huge variety, and the Fat Fish restaurant, with its great band, is a real highlight. The location is perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and more. Special thanks...

We booked this place last minute as the place we originally booked didn’t work out. The staff are all lovely, very friendly and helpful, comfortable set up around the pool, nice bar and restaurant and a massage parkour. The rooms are comfortable, and we would stay here again.

We enjoyed a 3-night stay at Amaan. Although we paid for different rooms, we got the standard room. However, these were still great -- spacious and well-furnished. Bathroom was neat and clean. We enjoyed our balcony areas. The view of the beach is spectacular. Easy to walk along the shore and access boat trips. Food that was not the breakfast buffet was great. Very accommodating and friendly waiters...

A class resort. The service is amazing, they real cater for your every need. The rooms are big and clean and most of them have great ocean views ( make sure) you book a room with a view. The staff are amazing , a second after you sit they are there to take your order. The property is on a cliff looking down on the ocean . You climb down to reach the beach, saying that they have a "beach like " section...

All the staff is very friendly and helpful and made the stay very enjoyable. The rooms are clean. The spa facilities has a good feeling and the staff there are well trained and very accommodating. Food at the hotel is of good quality and I feel that there is something for everyone. Really enjoyable staying here.

EVERYTHING IS SIMPLY SUPER! ROOMS, FOOD, BEACH. .. HAKUNA MATATA!

A very cool 5 starts hotel, located in a beautiful place near a white beach and a beautifum sea, the staff is very good and kind, i the eating room, there is a very big buffet, all the food is very tasty. The rooms are big and comfortable, the beds are very big, and the bathrooms are very clean and beautiful. In all the rooms there is a mini bar full of drinks and beer, and all that is free ( at least...

The hotel is wonderful! The cuisine at the hotel is excellent (the owner of the hotel is Italian, one of the chefs is Hindu) Pasta is cooked better than in Italy itself, rice and seafood are 5+ - mind you can eat! Every day different programs. The staff is very friendly, all requests are fulfilled. The beach is gorgeous. I definitely recommend!

Beautiful hotel, very clean, excellent service, delicious food, beautiful beach

Beautifully located by the beach. The main restaurant had a good selection of food and a good variation from day to day. The 2 restaurants on the seaside was excellent! Remember to reserve in advance. They only open up for reservertion 3 days ahead and you need to be quick. The rooms were very good. 2 large beds and very clean Rooms were cleaned every day👍 The staff was very helpfull at all stations...

We stayed at the Zanzibar Royal for couple of nights in June . Beautiful hotel, top notch and friendly service. The food was excellent. Lunch and Dinner buffets were had different variety. Mr. Muru and his staff were very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The pool area and the beach were beautiful. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Highly recommend staying here. I wish we had...

I had an amazing solo vacation at Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort. The hotel, the rooms are spacious and clean and the scenery and beautiful sunsets were everything! The staff are lovely, helpful and courteous, especially Calvin the bar tender. He was so informative and knowledgeable; he recommended and excellent choice of cocktails, wines and non alcoholic drinks for me and some friends I had met...

We were a party of 10 ranging from teenagers to elderly and I believe that I can safely say that we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The resort and gardens are stunning, the beach is fabulous, the excellent food, every day, was varied with something to suit everyone’s taste. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff were always smiling and helpful. The weather was a challenge but there was...

Very beautiful. The accommodations are excellent. The food is all to good with lots of variety & of different cultures. The staff is amazing. If there's something different you want to eat they will try & accommodate you the best they can. U can get room service. The beach is white soft sand.

Really enjoyed my stay. Staff were really good and accommodating. Food was nice and varied generally from night to night. Enough pools to keep you interested and beach was nice too. Location is good if you’re looking to stay on the resort. We hired a car for a few days to get out and about.

Great hotel with spacious rooms and sea view. The hotel has many pools, bars, restaurants and amazing all inclusive package. The staff are very helpful and positive. This is good value for money, especially combined with direct flights from Warsaw which allows you to get to Zanzibar in 8 hours.

Anything ! The choice of good was very good Very large room , beautifully designed , enough casual seating , big terrace and a great bathroom , the bath was incredible ! Spotless, the gardens were also very well maintained All staff were smiling pleasant and a credit to the hotel

We spent 14 nights at Essque Zalu Zanzibar Hotel in August 2024, and we must admit it was one of our most beautiful holidays. The hotel is stunning, with its impressive main structure and nice, comfortable, and very clean villas hidden in an amazing garden. The food served in the two restaurants is truly excellent! The giant pool is ideally located near turquoise waters and a beach that you can use...

I recently arranged a stay at Essque Zalu Zanzibar Resort for some of my VIP clients, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. From the very first interaction, the team was incredibly responsive and attentive to every detail, which made coordinating the trip so much easier. The villas were absolutely stunning—my clients couldn’t stop raving about the incredible views and how luxurious...

Cannot speak highly enough of our stay at Essque Zalu resort. Location is fantastic for a relaxing break, to take walks on the beach, great rooms with stunning views of the ocean and to enjoy the culinary delights of Zanzibar food. The staff is super attentive and special thanks to Suleiman for taking such good care of our family. Also a special mention to the GM, Mr Aditya, who ensured all our needs...

Essque Zalu Zanzibar isn't just a hotel, it's a picturesque escape. Every corner of the hotel is tastefully designed and blended in well with the nature's setting. From the moment we arrived, we were given a warm 'Zalu' greeting that set the tone for an amazing stay. The service throughout my visit was exceptional. The staff was attentive, proactive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our experience...

It is a great place with a very welcoming and kind staff, an amazing huge pool, and great food/entertainment. The place is well organized/cleaned, everything is really spotless.

A discreetly hidden gem in North of Zanzibar... Waking up everyday to a glimpse of a paradise, is the best thing that can happen on holidays. The houses (rooms) are spacious, cleaned everyday, well equipped with all you need during your stay. The "invisible" chambermaids are making amazing job to add those small details like putting flowers around, creating the mood according to the time of the day...

Amazing experience. Beautiful and nice hotel. Staff service is 10/10. The beach is incredible. Only comment: please clean the pool daily! There is leftover sand and the water isnt clean. Also, add more activities.

Very cozy hotel! The staff is super friendly and nice. Close to the ocean and beach is one of the coolest on the coast. Sunset time near infinity pool is magical. Thanks for pleasant atmosphere, definitely should be back to My Blue

The hotel is big and has access to the beach. There is also an infinity pool which has nice views of the beach. The beach is nice although be careful of sea urchins near the rocks. During the evening there are a lot of sales people trying to sell you a bunch of things, they are not pushy though so not a deal breaker. The rooms are okay. Our room had a damp smell. All meals are buffets. Lunch and...

MyBlue is a nice hotel with a great location and a private beach area. Nice sunset location and a lot of hotels and restaurants around to explore. There were a lot of other tourists at the hotel, who were very loud and occupied the whole pool area near the beach. This was a bit of a down for us but otherwise it was enjoyable.

Great location for the beach - beautiful turquoise water and great snorkelling off the beach - we saw starfish, tropical fish and even a small sea snake. They did an amazing Buffet on the beach and the food was awesome along with some great local dancing by the staff - they get the guests to join in too!

Very good hotel. Very nice service. The people working here are almost always smiling and helpful. The rooms were clean and cleaned regularly, but the bathrooms needed renovation. The food is tasty - especially lunches and dinners. Breakfasts are usually sweet, but I definitely prefer savory breakfasts. The drinks at the bar were very good, they were not watered down like in other hotels. However...

I can only recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to have a brilliant time in Sansibar. The facilities are beautifully designed and the style fits the atmosphere. Rooms are spacious and tidy to the spot. Good bathrooms and showers as well. Beachfront location with lots of sunbeds and a good pool with a bar rounds up the experience. But what makes this hotel special are the people working here...

Absolutely an amazing place from staff, to food, to rooms, to atmosphere to administrative staff! Wow!!! Ana, who is over the hotel, is lovely and has excellence all over her. We have been so many places around the world and this is one of the best!! Friendliest people. Clean, beautiful rooms. Breakfast is big and vast. Dinner was SO good every night. Beautiful white beach and so relaxing. We want...

A very good hotel is especially distinguished by very good guest service by the reception Leah-thank you for your help in all matters, a very good pool bar serving great drinks and with waiters intuitively sensing the needs of guests. Very good food in the main restaurant and a wide selection. Very good beach giving a great view of the ocean and isolation from local sellers. The whole will be complemented...

Very nice resort and at nice white sandy beach. Very good Hilton Diamond Member recognition from the staff. Leah (Guest Relations Manager) is a really treasure for the hotel! Perfect service at all. The Fisherman restaurant is very good. Only the waiting time for meals is a little bit long. Rooms are very nice and clean. I can recommend this hotel for everyone (also families with children).

Purely. well guarded

Warm gentle ocean!!!

Beautiful little place to stay with ever-present owners. Lovely breakfasts, smoothies, and dinners. Staff is incredibly friendly, happy, and there. Will be back!

It's an amazing place!! The greenery, the homey-like feel and environment. So, serene!! Best place to rewind and relax. The owners, Albert and Britta are so welcoming, kind and very involved with the running of the place. We super enjoyed our stay and have recommended to all our friends and family!

The service is friendly and nice. The hotel rooms are clean and reasonable (corresponding to the description). You can walk to the beach and the center of the village in 8-9 minutes, but the road is very dusty and broken.

We only used the restaurant and it's alright. Reasonable prices (13-20k shillings). They're kind of slow, if you go during football nights or evenings and it's crowded then you'll wait for 1-2 hours like we did(1.45h).

Beautiful property. People who works there just simply the best. Big, clean, modern room which smells amazing, with the most comfortable bed. Breakfast was top! Pool and cocktails are perfect.

The stay in the hotel was not bad, not even the best. The room was clean and nice. It was necessary to turn on the hot water. Some waitresses didn't understand English. The food was fine.

Beautiful hotel with friendly and attentive staff. We had a great time staying with them. The private beach is very calm and peaceful. The only downside is that it can be a little hard to get to other parts of nungwi unless you take a taxi.

The Zanzibari had the best restaurant and kindest staff of our entire stay in Zanzibar. We fully enjoyed our three days in this beach resort and warmly recommend it. Located directly on the beach, offers possibility of long walks on the sandy coast when tide is low and is close to beautiful sand stripes where to take a swim in light green waters.

I’ll start with the downside: -You can’t swim on the beach at the hotel. - We had some issues with our shower but they fixed it fast. - The room was little -The hotel is a little bit far from the local restaurant, market e.c.t Why 4 stars: the hospitality they offered. But mostly thanks to Salum, Nzori and Suleyman . Make sure to get in touch with them when you are at the hotel. They will take care...

Very nice, clean hotel. Good continental breakfast. Nice staff.

The staff were so friendly and this hotel has a really good service My room was one of the see view room I loved it everything was great and the food was tasty . Asante sana i definitely will back one day 🙂

I can't say enough good things about the Zanzibari. When I first entered the property I wasn't too impressed by everything..but that's when I left the property and went to the double tree by Hilton and other expensive properties next door to this place It's unassuming but you'll miss this place when you leave. Do try the fried coconut king prawns,we had it almost 5 times,it's too good. Way better...

We arrived a little early than normal check in time of 14:00 but we were shown to our room (bungalow) straight away with no issues. 2 staff members helped us with our luggage as there are a few steps & a sandy step area to each bungalow. We had a slight sea view being in bungalow number 1 (at the top) with a bit more of a sea view to the left hand side of the balcony. The pool area is clean and quiet...

I had a very wonderful experience at Warere beach hotel and it's staff are all great. It was a great pleasure for sure. Asante Warere♡ my stay was great👍

Decent hotel in nungwi zanzibar, room is clean and has a nice sea view, bathroom is also clean and decent. the patio has a nice view too. breakfast is decent and they have the best porridge and home made peanut butter ever. the staff is smily and helpful. food was pretty good and enjoyable. I, personally, found the beach disappointing as waves are high and hit on the rocks and the concrete wall, not...

The hotel itself was very beautiful, My husband and I went for our honeymoon, the hotel honeymoon package was amazing. I felt really safe, the food was amazing, the infinity pool with the beach right there was breathtaking. All the staff members were so kind and helpful. Oh and the location is near a lot of attractions! I definitely highly recommend this hotel. I definitely will come back in the future

The hotel offers not only the best value for the money but also the most awesome beach front view. The staff members are all courteous, kind and helpful with genuine smiles. The foods are delicious and we had the best juicy julep by the incredibly beautiful poolside. The hotel is so quiet that you feel alone in the entire beach front. Highly recommend the hotel.

This place is wonderful. Tripadvisor calls it budget, but it’s squarely in the mid range of expense and luxury. Food was good, staff were super friendly and helpful, facilities were great.

The pool is very good and refreshing. If you are not stying there you can go and spend the day. They charge you ten dollars and use it buying food or drinks. The waitress was very kind.

Before I give a high rating to this place and service itself, I have to share one story what happened to us and how management handled the situation. We stayed in Garden Boutique 3 nights and we arrived by rental car. The owner was very accommodating by offering us parking although managing very tight place to park. So we have to move every night car inside and outside. And just to mantion Zanzibar...

We stayed here for 7 nights in December. The staff are amazingly helpful, welcoming and accommodating! Special shout out to Veronica and Anastasia, who went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The room was large and very clean, with good air conditioning. Comfortable beds and pillows, with bottled water, tea and coffee facilities provided. The bathroom was huge with hot showers and...

The hotel is really nice. Ali, the manager is very organised and concentrates a lot on the well being of his guests. He manages all emerging crises very fast and offers a very good standard with the means existing in Zanzibar. The rooms are cleaned every day and very spacious and air conditioned. They are proper compared to existing benchmark on the island. My only remark would be to either change...

Great everytime smiling staff! Nothing is problem for them! Rooms are really nice (great for two couples travelling together) for reasonable price also for one couple. If you need room service you can have it every day or as you want. Breakfast is one of our favorite on Zanzibar because all the staff is very friendly - not so much to pick but everything is delicious, pancakes, eggs, fresh fruit, fresh...

Great hotel with the best location in our opinion. Secluded from the hectic beach and bars but still close. The beach outside is nice and less people than the main beach. Staff is fantastic, always easy to find a sundbed, great view from the hotel, nice sunsets and the massage at the SPA is recommended. Some hooks and hangers in the room would be appreciated.

We visited Zanzibar and stayed in the Smiles Beach Hotel in August 2023. The crew is great! very service oriented and helped us with everything we needed! Always smile and ready to help. The rooms are clean, well organized, with A/C and small refrigerator. The location is very good, on the Northern part of Zanzibar which is the best place to visit while you are in Zanzibar. Breakfast and Dinner were...

Excellent location on the beach. Fantastic, friendly service. Great warm water pool, with swim up bar. Fresh fish and food at the restaurant. Super service by all staff. Laundry service is fast and affordable. Great resort for families, couples, singles.

Stayed for two nights in August 2022. It was good - there are some really nice things about the place, and other things that need some work. It has one of the better beach fronts, for sure. I think that is the biggest plus about it. The staff are also very nice. The rooms have a mildew smell though, and the mosquito nets have a lot of holes in them (or at least the one in our room did), so many that...

Great quiet place to chill and relax. Great restaurant and staff. Nice breakfast at reasonable price. The people really kind and nice :))) I had a good time coming here every day for food and drinks. A good memory.

Nice place to chill for a couple of days. A bit outdated. The extreme poverty of the people of Zanzibar was a great contradiction to the beautiful coastline.

Visited the Spa and the ladies were really accommodating to us, organised transport for us to get there and back. Very quick to respond on Google to my messages. Thank you. The most beautiful vista for a treatment overlooking the sea.

I was only there for a drink during the day. I was not so happy with the staff. I felt like I was being watched too much. The place looks nice with a great outdoor area.

If you are looking forward to a restful luxury stay at a decent budget Mnarani it is. Good staff, helpful people and the view from the property is worth every penny. All the villas are named around the word 'Blessed' in different languages. I stayed in Maimuna 🤍

I recommend this place. The staff is really nice and helpful. The rooms are in kind of apartments. We were in the Tuna apartment in the Fisherman’s House. You can make tea. It smells good inside. It’s clean and the beds are not bad at all. My friend said she slept better here than in another cottage. However the breakfast is not that great.

Beautiful sea. You can see. Really

I recently stayed at Flame Tree Cottages for 14 days, and I can't say enough good things. We stayed in the beautiful Rose cottage, which had a wonderful view of the gardens (including some actual flame trees!) and the ocean. The room was air-conned and very clean, and we came home each evening to petals on the bed which was a nice touch. In the mornings, guests order breakfast on their veranda where...

Great place right at the beach, with very friendly service. They were extremely nice about us arriving earlier than the formal checkin, and we could stay in a bit longer as well. Thank you Flame Tree! And two other positive points, the breakfast at your doorstep and the bar at the beach ⛱

Food are really good, calm and relax place

Wonderful setting. Accommodation, meals, and staff perfect

Flame Tree was the PERFECT option for our vacation. Stayed here with my girls and the experience was simply amazing!!! Though the drive to the cottages is a bit bumpy, but once you get there, you wouldn't want to leave. From the lovely welcoming drink (still cant figure out the secret ingredient in their juice) to the warm staff - be sure to ask for Agnes she's juts the sweetest; definitely home away...

Nice place and cool for relaxation and peace of mind

nice place to chill. Hard to find, no sign on the main road. The WIFI sucks if needed. There is a realy noisy woodbeetle in the bed timber.

we were exhausted from our fun but long driving safari and wantes to relax in a quiet beautiful atmosphere by the Indian Ocean. our stay was perfect is so many ways...relaxing..quiet...gorgeous natural environment...good wifi..great people to hang with and delicious food...topped only by welcoming staff and owners. we immediately felt at home and were sorry to leave but glad we came.

It’s my first time in Zanzibar but I feel like I will only ever come back to this place. It is wonderfully rustic and off the beaten path. Right on the shore you can swim and hang around looking at the beautiful view all day. No need to leave. They have a bar and kitchen serving you drinks and food all day. The staff are wonderful people who are kind and helpful. What a lovely time we had. You can...

The most memorable, relaxing and friendly place on the whole island. We felt like staying at family with all pampering. Fresh delicious food, private tours and discoveries of local hidden gems. The place is unique with its calm and clean private beach. Thank you Mwamba and Polyana for hosting us. See you next time.

This was one of the most peaceful places I have vacationed and may be my favorite vacation spot on earth to date. It is simple, but surrounded by natural and naturally constructed beauty. It is a place for simple living, rest and soul rejuvenation. Although simple, it is beautiful and you will feel pampered for sure. Are you looking for a big hotel with bustle, noise and routine services? This...

It was simply a dream! Staff so kind and always helpful and smiling, room always cleaned, food amazing and the view… a paradise!

I had clients Tanzanite Beach Resort, they stayed on 5 days I have been going to pick up them for activities trips without any problems, I was arriving there 30minutes before security they were allowing me to enter inside the hotel parking.

The resort was nice. Rooms were fine, nothing wow wow about them. The pool seemed to have too much chlorine in it but that could have been bad luck. No alcohol sold on site but they did offer to send someone to go get some but you need cash which was nice of them. Breakfast was fine.

The room is beautiful, I love the attention to detail and the amazing view. Enough space to relax at the pool, on the beach or under the trees. If you want a quiet, secluded place close to nature, this is a good spot. The staff are friendly and helped me with transport to my next place.

Rooms are super clean air conditioned. Staff are very nice and friendly. I don't like the food quality at all. Good location on beach

Beautiful resort with front sea view and beach access (when the tide is low) just 10 minute walk from amazing sand banks! The rooms are clean, the staff really friendly and the food is varied and nicely cooked. And just a walk away from Nungwi beach!

The hotel is great, 2 little pools inside the garden, stuff are super nice. There is a beach club owned by the hotel. Beach chairs, food & drinks are all within a walkable distance. Downside - wifi is not very stable inside the hotel, beach club has a better connection in general. The water stopped twice when i wanted to take a shower, eventually i went down to the pool shower.

In one line this is a place that is must visit at least once in a lifetime. The staff are very friendly specially Muba. The villas are spacious and super comfortable. The experience of staying at Aluna Nungwi is unforgettable. The food is always on point 🤤 We strongly recommend!

Very welcoming environment, with a very friendly staff and located in a literally one minute walking from Nungwi beach, which you can amazingly enjoy with a nice drinks and amazing food provisioned by the beach club which is part of the same structure. We were so satisfied about the quality of the food that we considered pointless to explore any other place for dinner, and the breakfast was offering...

It was such a lovely place, beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. Loved how the manager would come in every morning and greet everyone, it showed how person-centred the hotel was. They were really lovely with helping with hiring a car and knowing what other things to do in Zanzibar even if it wasn’t part of the hotel! We got moved into a room with a jacuzzi on the last few days of our stay...

Loved it here. Beautiful garden, great rooms especially one with jacuzzi. Great breakfast with multiple options of 3 course menu. Lunch and dinner at superb quality and freshness. We were sad to be leaving

What a lovely & save place to spend days a bit off the beaten path of Nungwi. Owners & staff are very friendly & happy to assist with anything. Rooms & breakfast are simple, but provide everything you need spending your days at the beach (2 min away) or on trips. Their 4 dogs and probably 6 puppies (which were born during our stay) are super cute & a unique extra to this guesthouse. There is also...

Felt like home after just one night! Such a chill, welcoming and relaxing place. Mustafa & Simona had created an Oasis. Their whole staff are super friendly and helpful with info and connections to everything and everyone you’ll need in Zanzibar. The breakfast was tasty, healthy and had us charged for half a day, every day. We never missed it. The water and power supply was stable during our stay....

Great stay with my family. Owner is very friendly and willing to share info about the island. Close to the beach, just 1 minute away from the beachfront. Also, chef is cooking dinner every night upon your request for some money you both agree on. I would reccommend it to everyone and would come back myself!

great room, very spacious and has authentic vibes. garden is also lovely

amazing place. clean, amazing people, good internet. Simona is a lovely hostess and her husband is very kind. they helped us when in need and provided us everything we needed. close to the beach as well. shop for water and other right next to it.
