Pongwe, Pongwe beach 🧭 Map
This is a beautiful property with incredible staff on Zanzibar. The attention paid to the lush gardens and incredible food is so appreciated. We stayed in a partial ocean view bungalow. I would say for the partial view this isn’t worth it- either splurge for an oceanfront bungalow or take a bungalow with garden view and save your money. The rooms are also getting a little run down as this property...
Tulia zanzibar unique beach resort is celebrated by guests as a remarkable and exclusive get away often deemed worth it's luxurious price many travelers appreciate the blend of relaxation and cultural entertainment though some rind the bars music selection disruptive
“Tulia” means “relax” in Swahili, and the resort truly lives up to its name. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by a sense of peace, serenity, and genuine warmth. The setting is tranquil and beautiful, but what truly makes Tulia unforgettable is its incredible team. A heartfelt thank you to Elias, the Resort Manager, who went above and beyond to make our stay special—personally arranging...
Tulia Zanzibar is pure magic! From the moment you arrive, you feel transported to a peaceful paradise.

The entire tulia staff was amazing. Rooms are very clean. Food is amazing. Michelle was amazing from beginning to the end. Entire experience was amazing. We will definitely be back again.
It's hard to think about Tulia and write a review about a resort. Yes, it is a resort, but more importantly, it is a family. A family with a 5 Star Chef, Guest Relations Manager, and the most talented Care Staff I have ever met... Waiters, Housekeepers, Gardeners, Maasai etc... Everyone makes you feel like you are home. Villas are beautiful (they get Netflix!), food is great (lots of choices),...

Pongwe, Pongwe Zanzibar 🧭 Map
The value and experience per price paid is unmatched. Our room as facing the ocean. We were sleeping with the sound of waves and it was fantastic. In one of the evenings the electricity was cutting off - the restaurant had us placed on the artificial beach, with live music, eating under the stars. I think that the hotel can do better buy giving written offers for the spa to the groups. I really...
I went with my family of 12 people to Azao Resort, the hotel was abserloutly beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The hotel had a lot of entertainment stuff, and the pools are huge. The staff was abserloutly amazing - so friendly , so helpful and very polite. The food (from breakfast, lunch & dinner) was so tasty, and food was plentiful. They even had a barbeque evening over looking the beach...
Location is at the more quiet part of Zanzibar. We didn't stay here, we just came for dinner. Good was good, service was ok, ambience was ok. We enjoyed our dinner. Few veg options but they were really good.
Paid with a card at reception, subject to the extra 3% I assume to cover their bank charges. The menu is in dollars
Honestly the most amazing and beautiful resort. Everything was perfect. The room.. Staff.. Food and resort were beyond our expectations. Staff were extremely friendly and efficient.
I would very highly recommend this resort to anyone. Peaceful and views to die for. Definitely go again
They made my birthday incredible with a home made cake.. So much extra care
Azao is a lovely resort and great place to relax. The rooms were lovely, spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms were also quite spacious but the cleanliness needs some attention (nothing major)
This resort does not have any swimming beach access, the beach that you can access is hard clay like sand with a very low tide some days and not suitable for average beach use
The pool is super deep with...
Absolutely great experience. The staff are so helpful and friendly, even though English isn't their first language.
The location was a bit far from the airport, but the view was sensational, watching the tide come in and out throughout the day... note that there is no shore to this beach from Azao.
The food was fresh and good. And we had new options 3 times a day.

Pongwe, Ndudu road 🧭 Map
I fell in love with the natural ambience the very moment I walked in. It was all nature. Birds chirping, the trees welcoming new arrivals, the quietness and serenity of the environment. It's truly a beautiful place plus the privacy of the stand alone chalets, spacious, very clean, covered and envelope with nature green and fresh air. A value for money.
A beautiful hotel, the room was incredible, the pool was very nice, the only drawback is that it doesn't have a beach, because the water inside the hotel isn't pretty. They take you to and from the beach, but it's still worth it, staying there for two or three days and going on excursions.
It’s a Beautiful place and the service there was very nice me and my Family really enjoyed
We came as a family just for dinner two nights in a row and the food on both nights was the best food I have had here in Zanzibar. The first night was a tapas night and all of the tapas were delicious. Second night we order fish seafood recotta and vegetable shawarma..total deliciousness. Its totally wearth coming for a dinner from Stone Town. The hotel is beautiful..next time il stay few days.
Nice hotel but the beach is terrible. People are hospitable
Very good hotel, full of privacy and comfort. The hotel has a super good swimming pool and a large space. You can swim and dine in the hotel. Or enjoy the sea view. There are different programs every night, singing and dancing, etc.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon, which we took on our 1yr anniversary. We were welcomed so well there by the team. They helped arrange EVERYTHING for us. Our arrival was splendid.

This was our second visit to Pongwe Bay resort. It still is a beautiful resort, with fantastic staff. A few points of attention: the food in both restaurants. We had hoped that there would be a little more variety, especially in the jetty restaurant. But there is a small menu. Which means that vegetarians and meat eaters in particular don't have much choice. Loud guests: there was large group they...
Beautiful resort set right on the beach. Their club restaurant jets out in the sea. It was nice and windy when we went. We ordered lobster linguine , T bone steak, grilled octopus n grilled lobster. Everything was fine except for the lobster that was very dry . The staff need more training as half the table was not set properly. Also very forgetful bar staff. Overall it was a nice experience.

Small and perfectly formed. My husband and I stayed for 10 days in June and had a fabulous time. Gardens and pool area are stunning and immaculately maintained.

Quite a clean cool beach resort. The staff needs to be serious at work. Petting and fondling each others in the presence of the guests.

Location is wonderful! The beach is beautiful, not too many annoying "beach boys ". You can feel here like you were alone. Really, paradise hotel! All rooms are in bungalowes, so you have your private space or even private pool.
Excellent menu, on the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar
The best experience in Zanzibar so far !!
We spent 11 days at this wonderfull resort. It's peacefull, beautifull and clean. The staff is super friendly and we did not need no worry about anything, because everything was arranged for us. The tour guide, Zambrotta, took us around the island and again everything was arranged perfectly. Because the resort is small it's easy to make contact with other guests and the staff know you by first name...

Great spot for a quiet and chilled holiday. The staff are incredible! Yemesy was an amazing bar man! Asante sana to the whole team! Perhaps publish the SPA treatment menu in room for guests to peruse. Overall amazing time at Toa, great food and stunning rooms.
We stayed for 11 nights all inclusive.
From arrival to the moment we left we were extremely impressed by the professionalism, friendliness and efficiency of every member of staff we encountered.
It is hard to single out individuals but Mr Ally, Kalei, Steven, Ally & Yemeys all deserve a special mention.
The setting is idyllic and the rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean.
The food is of good quality...
We had a wonderful time at TOA Hotel and the food was great even with buffet style but they changed it up every day. The BBQ dinners at the beach were also a nice touch.
The only thing I would note to someone considering coming here that you really cannot swim in the ocean! Even at high tide the water is very shallow, only up to the knees. But the pools were great if you don't mind not having access...
Really nice hotel with absolutely magnificent service. The whole crew made our vacation an outstanding trip. From the animator, through reception, cleaning ladies, waiters and barmen, everyone was so friendly and making sure, we were having a great time. Thanks to the Toa hotel crew for having a wonderful vacation in Africa.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Seasons Lodge! The staff was exceptionally friendly and the service was great! For my birthday, they even decorated our room and surprised us with a special breakfast and dinner. The location is wonderfully peaceful – with the beach right at your doorstep and hardly any people around. We can only recommend staying at Seasons Lodge and would love to return one day!
I genuinely cried when it was time to leave. I travelled with my two children, one 16, the other just 8 months old, so very much at opposite ends of the spectrum! We were lucky to arrive just after the rainy season, so it was peacefully quiet. The staff were absolutely wonderful, so kind and attentive. The food was incredible (you have to try the octopus!). Our room had everything we needed and...
It was nice and the staff were great
if you are looking for privacy and relaxation this is the right place. Great food and nice bungalows overlooking the sea.
Season’s Lodge Pongwe. This is a curious place - very different from the corporate hotels lining the bay. It is seemingly built a while ago by a team of enthusiastic amateurs and tricky to find if you have your own transport. If you are a fan of switches and sockets where you need them it may be a problem in the two original rooms above reception. You can pay $30 a night more to stay in the bungalows...
We booked Seasons Lodge at the end of our Tanzania safari as a place to relax before taking our international flight home. We were not disappointed!

Pongwe, Pongwe 🧭 Map
The check-out of the house we rented was in the morning, and the return flight was at night. So we found this place to spend a few hours of the day, have lunch, and rest. The view and the beach are lovely. There are food and drink options that are very good and not at all expensive compared to other places in the area. The owner is very kind.
This hotel was quiet, welcoming, beautiful, friendly, and all I ever could have wanted and more. The beach was amazing. The pool was wonderful. And the food was great, too! It's in a quiet area, so make sure that's what you are looking for. You can book excursions from the hotel.
Value for money. Rooms are big with sea views. Very chilled environment with a big pool. Food menu changes everyday. Staff are amazing. Wifi is everywhere. Go to the hotel next door (too the right) for happy hour and more great food.
It's so beautiful Al Bundy it was nice to go there, but it's over

The fact that they had their own secure beach entry without being directly on the beach front. the beach bar/restaurant was well stocked with good food and drinks.

Breakfast was amazing ! And the resident cat was very cute and cuddly. Well situated location to do all of your excursions!
We have stayed here for 4 nights in February 2023 (Suite with a pool terrace). The room was nice and clean, the terrace in front of the pool was absolutely amazing. We had the pool practically for ourselves and it was a heaven for my 7 years old daughter. The staff is super nice, helpful and full of warmth. Highly recommend it!

Rooms well equipped, neat and clean, I would definitely recommed it to anyone who wants to take a break in a small paradise.

A beautiful resort. Such friendly staff. Even tho we didn't speak Italian they were very accommodating. Beach access, clean pool and so many activities throughout the day. Not that we have kids but the daily programme for children kept them entertained most of the day. The food was amazing, freshly prepared, well presented and delicious.

I have to vote this as most memorable Italian food I have eaten outside of Italy (it even beats a lot of the food in Italy itself). The resort is on the ocean and it is covered in waterfalls of flowers. For sunset - connoisseur cocktails, herbal and spice infusions - an experience!

The food was always varied and flavourful. The room looked beautiful and they even came in at night to close my curtains and get my bed ready for sleeping, such a nice touch! I need to eat gluten free and every meal...
From the moment we stepped into Sultan Sands, I felt like I’d found a little piece of paradise. This wasn’t just a hotel—it was a beautiful escape with stunning views that melted my stress away. The hotel is perfectly nestled against an amazing beach, and the ocean views were breathtaking—changing every hour of the day. Don’t forget to swim in the morning when the water is high! I didn’t even want...

Staying at this hotel in Zanzibar was an unforgettable experience. The location was breathtaking, right on the pristine beaches. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and offered stunning ocean views. The staff was warm, hospitable, and made us feel at home. The food was a delightful mix of local and international cuisines. The pool area was a great place to relax. Overall, it was an incredible stay...
Good hotel, worth its 4 stars. Quiet, peaceful place, the only negative is its location, because. the ability to swim in the ocean depends on the tides.
Fantastic hotel to your holiday stay. Rooms are spacious and clean. The pool is neat and well maintained and the beach is beautiful. Dance shows during the nights were entertaining and had great fun.
Friendly staff always willing to make your vocation more pleasant excellent sea food
Breath taking view. Resort beautiful and clean. Relaxing 4 days spent.
A must do !!! Best holiday ever.

It is beautiful place, very quit and good privacy, beautiful beach, good services, best hospitality, delicious food. Thanks to Mr DG, Mr Hissam, Mr Kassim, Chef Khatib and all the staff, you really made our honeymoon memorable especially with the romantic dinner and Floating breakfast gift.
Mr&Mrs Saeed. ❤
We had a very great time there. The staff were very friendly and kind. The swimming pool was very great. There's a play area to play, also a kids play area. The rooms were spacious and clean. Overall I would give this place 10/10.
This is a cute and quaint hotel with small suites with names under the spices. Manicured gardens and tropical flora line each and every villa. Clean traditional rooms, spacious, friendly staff make your stay a haven. Peaceful and unlike the commercial party zone hotels which have night life throughout. If you are looking for a relaxing break in Zanzibar, by far this is the best choice to explore and...
I had liked this place from the time i saw the photo on website, and fell in love with it once i reached there. This is a luxury resort with spacious room, lovely bathroom with all amenities. They have lovely pool overlooking Indian Ocean, and play area for kids; restaurant is also good.... away from the crowd...Great place to unwind!
It’s a beautiful place to have a vacay. Right at the beach. The rooms are very spacious and quite comfortable. They have these room that are big enough for families or bigger groups. Not so close to the city but that’s how all resorts are in Zanzibar. The food is also mostly good, try their seafood platter.
Great atmosphere. We were there Oct and because of the tide the sea is not great, some rocks in it and lots of seaweed.
Pool and view is lovely. A bit windy. Staff is very kind, food is good and prices are good.
Visit even if just to have food.
Nothing to do or go around. Plan this as staying around the pool, eating in and doing nothing.

Baby Bush Lodge
Kiwengwa, Zanzibar 🧭 Map
I waa so happy there , good music , best view , green trees around and the place and a lot of cool relaxing spots.
Wonderful experience. Joseph is really wonderful and cool person. He is the manager. The staff is wonderful. The chef is wonderful and cool delicious food. Love the place.
The people were so nice. We had thought our booking had gone through but it didn't, so when we got there they quickly fixed the room for us.
We spent 10 days at baby bush lodge and in general we had a great experience.
Pros:The staff is really friendly and very good people, location is in front of the beach and common areas are nice.
Cons: the place is not very clean, our beds had bedbugs so we had to deal with some rash. They offer access to the kitchen, but is very dirty and not comfortable.
Electricity went off some days during the...
Never got the sea view room I booked, nor decent plumbery with warm water, and nobody apologized or offered something.
Nice location, kitchen heavy on onions and slow but good. Maybe I'd suggest to note down the favorite cooking level when pple order.

Wonderful place. Amazing interior design in the entrance that creates a lovely spirit.
We had a very nice stay. Swimable beach, nice breakfast and friendly staff.
The only drawback was that the water cut for a short time every once in a while.
Excellent Hotel right in front of the beach.The staff is very polite and helpful, the food is great and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable. I highly recommend this hotel!
Mid sized nice hotel directly on the beach 🏖
Hotel rooms fully equipped including hairdryer and bath cosmetics. Very nice stuff always willing to help. Good restaurant in the hotel with local as well as international cuisine. Reasonable prices.
Uroa is quiet place in comparison with other places in Zanzibar so it can be good for family vacation or for people who don't need night life every day.
Very nice small resort, it offers good place to stay in a cozy environment. The restaurant offer nice food, and they are very nice and friendly.
Amazing beach Location, standard rooms but good for the price because it has AC ?, not much to do around. The food in the restaurant though wasn't nice.
7 days of peace. Moonshine has all important amenities for our use. Mohamed well advised on excursions which we enjoyed. Laid back and relaxing. Thank you to the management. Maybe not 4 star but budget friendly and helpful staff.

1. The ambiance is fantastic! 2. The main restaurant's chef seems Indian, and we had a rather terrible dinner. Luckily, we switched to BBQ the next day, which was a bit better. Bookings at the other restaurants aren't easy. You have to book a full day in advance to be sure. 3. The beach party on our check-in night lasted until midnight and was incredibly loud. I made several complaints starting at...
We had the most welcoming experience in Melia Zanzibar. We were met by management, chefs and many brilliant staff members. Place was clean and we were comfortable with our stay. Would like to give a mention to some staff members we had dealt with most of our trip. With their kind hospitality and service. They were all good at what they do and very helpful. Restaurant staff - Gidion, Paul, Lucia...
This Adults only part of Melia Zanzibar was amazing. Fahad at the pool was the most friendly attentive host! We really enjoyed our days at the pool with him! The rooms were incredible and the slippers so comfy! Only one bad experience at the bar and the Jetty restaurant … we were charged an exorbitant amount for a cocktail and an entre ( we had an all inclusive package, but they were not upfront about...
While we had a few issues, like a bathtub plug not working, Melia was quick to resolve issues and make sure that our stay was enjoyable. The snorkeling excursion we planned through the hotel was wonderful. The variety of food at the restaurants and buffets was a nice change after having a very limited choice on our safari. The pool was very enjoyable. I also enjoyed meals at the pool bar. If you...
Very good location, service and rooms. We enjoyed the lovely scenery and lovely staff. The only thing that could have been bettrr is the food, for a premium price we paid we expect premium and more variety on the buffet. More exotic fruit, more fish options , better dessert, ice cream... But overall experiemce was great.
Visiting with family. Great resort, helpful and genuine management, many things to do with the family but it's also just nice to stay in the resort. We had a rough start of our vacation but greatly accommodated by the resort for what we are very thankful.
