Set in Nungwi, 200 metres from Royal Beach, Canary Two & SPA offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a kids' club and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel features an indoor pool, karaoke and room service.

The staff was amazing and really made sure, that we have everything that we need. Since the hotel on the pictures is currently under renovation, we got a room in the Canary Nungwi Hotel with a free room upgrade and free 60 minutes massage for each one of us. It would be better to place some information in the Booking.com description, that the hotel is a different one, but they really cared well for us at the other hotel, it was a great stay and they definitely made it up for that small confusion. They also let us stay a bit longer on our last day and gave us a different room, such that we could shower once more before heading to the airport in the late afternoon.

Located on a sandy beach on the northern tip of Zanzibar, this Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco offers luxurious rooms with views of tropical garden, pool and the Indian ocean. The lush tropical gardens contain an outdoor pool and swim-up bar.

My brother and me spent 5 days in Nungwi beach resort by Turaco This was my second time at this hotel, I really enjoyed my time on the first visit, this is why I decided to come a second time. I say happily that the only change, I met , was that the food was much better and had more variety. The hotel is located in the middle of probably ,the nicest beach in Zanzibar. Tourquis water, fishermen boats taken like from a picture, white sand, and palm trees. The people at the hotel are always very kind and helpful, doing everything with a smile on their face. Rooms are very comfortable and very clean. I took a second time the all-inclusive deal, I think it is worth it. One can drink as much cocktails as he wants, can choose between Pizza or Hamburger at the pool or a buffet for lunch and a good dinner buffet. The Alcoholic cocktails, which I mentioned, are of a real high level. I don’t know if it is because of the fresh tropical fruits or the bartenders, who prepare them. I have been to some fensi hotels, like Hyatt in Cancun, but for my taste they are not coming to this level. While there, ask Benson, maybe the best bartender I met, to prepare a Pinacolada or Mango Daciri, he is a real professional. Thanks also to Lea, who always does her best, so we can feel like in a home. I recommend this hotel to anybody, who is going to make a holiday in Zanzibar.

Excellent service from all the team with special thanks to Mert. We stayed in the ocean view suite which hada perfect view of the ocean. Breakfast choices were great with lots of fresh fruits and options for vegetarians. The breakfast changed on a daily basis so we were pleasantly surprised every morning. Lunch and dinner options were fantastic and every dish we ordered was delicious. The restaurant overlooks the beach so whether it’s high tide or low tide, the views are just spectacular. The photos we took just don’t do the views justice. The beds were a little on the hard side but very comfortable. Shower pressure was fantastic with no problems with hot water.

The staff was amazing, they spoke excellent English, were super friendly and helpful. The view was just spectacular. Very safe and cool. The pool was open 24/7 which was great as in many places in Zanzibar the pool is closed by 6/7pm already.

    Large rooms with working aircon, small refreshing pool and friendly staff (they prepared us a takeaway breakfast when we had an early start for a boat trip and let us keep drinks in the fridge). Also delicious food, more than ample breakfast included and all at a very reasonable price. The location is close to the local beach, with a few bars and restaurants nearby. It's slightly away from the main tourist area but we preferred this as it was peaceful and we enjoyed the walk along the beachfront towards the main part of the resort.

    Gaia Villas has a very cozy and friendly vibe, with an amazing staff! The hotel is small which ensures the feeling of privacy and we enjoyed a lot chilling at the pool side too! Breakfast is filling with great options! Rooms are super clean and the ceiling fan was enough for us during the night even though there is also AC in the rooms. The beach is a 10 min walk but this way we had the chance to also see the non-beach resorts areas. It felt very safe all times to walk home even during the night!

    This is not a hotel, this is a fully fledged all inclusive resort with all amenities to please guests and a great beach with minimal tides. The evening entertainment program encourages the audience to play and dance. The resort is oriented towards groups sent by tour operators (e.g. RIU) and feels crowded but still maintains an adequate level of service and hospitality. The price-quality ratio is very good, if you want to stay in a more intimate hotel with the same level of service - you will pay twice.
