    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.

    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

    We 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!

    Everything! 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.

    I stayed as a single person for an overnight visit. It was the perfect size and space for what I needed. 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. The hotel staff was very kind and accommodating.

    Very nice little paradise right by the quiet Pongwe beaches! The rooms are comfy, clean with all necessary amenities. The gardens and communal areas are well organised and beautiful. Clean pool and the staff are very friendly. The food in the restaurant is very delicious with lots of variety and the prices are fair.

    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.

    We had a very warm welcome from the staff and everybody was very polite. The rooms were very nice and clean. The resort is beautifuly arranged and decorated. The pool is very good. Beach is right there, but be aware of tides on Zanzibar. Breakfast was very tasty and they offer multiple breakfast options.
