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.

The resort is great for spending a few days relaxing by the pool.
Very friendly staff and very caring customer relation manager who make you feel welcome from the first minute. The property is very clean and well maintained. The rooms are large, quiet and beds are comfortable. WIFI connection is good throughout the facility. The large pool and dining areas are nice. The all-inclusive package includes catering a-la-carte (no buffet). The lunch and dinner menus are changed every day. Vegetarian options are available.
We were kindly offered a late check-out free of charge (unfortunately we had to leave early).

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.FribelRomania - 6.0Scored 6.0
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.carolineEswatini - 10Scored 10

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.

- 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 119 reviewsAmazing place! Probably the most beutiful place where ever I stayed. Direct access to the beach, the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing, we just chillin on the balcony for hours every day, listening the sounds of the silence. I felt if Im dreaming many times. The suite is literally few steps from the ocean. Beautiful hotel and wonderful employees who helped us in every case. I recommend it to everyone who appreciates peace and quiet.TommyAbkhazia
- 8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 173 reviewsThe 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.ErzsebetHungary
- From £70.78 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 570 reviewsWe really enjoyed our stay at Pongwe Bay Resort! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The outside areas were beautiful, close to the beach. We also enjoyed the food and the evening events organised by the Resort. Once I told them it was my husband's birthday on one of the days, they also prepared a cake and the staff put up a great show by signing the Happy Birthday song!

OmarEgypt - 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 119 reviewsEverything! The property is a hidden gem in Zanzibar! The staff are so welcoming and pays attention to detail in way that cannot be described, you just have to experience it. We absolutely loved that in this case Instagram is reality. At Karibu Beach Resort you are steps away from the beach, rich culture, excursions, amazing disappearing sandbanks, and inviting locals.AAnonymousUnited States

Very clean and comfortable. I originally booked a single, but was upgraded to a double. I think it would have definitely on the small side if I were sharing that space it another person, though.
