I'm here for the second time, it's always beautiful. Hotel directly on the beach with nice and professional staff, very clean place with beautiful wooden decorations. Delicious food and the view from the restaurant of the ocean and the island - something wonderful. I'll definitely come back in three months

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.

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
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.
The location of the property was excellent overlooking the beach. The staff were nice. The GM and the Manager F&B are always on ground to ensure that our stay was comfortable. There was never a boring moment in the hotel. I will surely come back to the hotel in my next vacation.
The most special hotel I have ever been to.
The Island is a magical experience. The view changes every few hours and it is just beautiful.
The staff are absolutely wonderful and take care of every little detail.
Don’t hesitate book your reservation here!
The beach, the privacy and the hotel in general -- just wonderful. We really enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. I would recommend Pongwe to anyone looking to kick back, relax and just enjoy the views.
The property has a delicious restaurant, nice staff, unique infrastructure, clean surroundings, easy access to the ocean/beach. Very quiet, calm. We were met by a young manager in charge, he was very nice and helpful at all times.
Very friendly staff and good food. Pool was a good alternative considering the sea was rocky and affected by low/high tide. Resort was clean and well shaded area with palm trees and beach baby.
An absolute unforgettable stay! Being around a lot this is my favourite place in Zanzibar. Beautiful and clean.. heartwarming and friendly people making your stay unique in all possible ways.
A hotel with nice layout. You can see very well the low/high tide difference and it is beautiful. Nice and big pool. The staff at the restaurant - always smiling, made you feel also happy.
The staff is awesome, the restaurant is really great (people from other hôtels come for dinner). It's calm and very peaceful.
We felt in paradise during our stay in Pongwe Beach Hôtel
great food. The hotel staff was very nice and made sure to accommodate all our requests. The reef walk was awesome, and the massages are the best we have ever had.
The beach is very calm and quiet, the staff super helpful and friendly. Delicious food - I recommend octopus with coconut sauce - the best octopus in my life :)
