Resorts in Pongwe

The breakfast was good, several choices on the menu. I wish I could have kept out of the bread bowl😋. All the meals we had there were very good and reasonably priced. The hotel and especially the staff were exceptional! They positively cater to your needs. We used the front desk for day trips and everything went very smoothly. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, our stay was fantastic!

Super comfortable rooms, with wide beds, sofas, good AC. The resort is a big green garden with lush vegetation, palm trees and flowers. The swimming pool is gorgeous. The staff is very friendly

The breakfast was standard but delicious. The rooms were comfy and quiet. The location was purely serene. The staff was very helpful and kind. The mangroves surrounding the area were just beautiful. I really felt relaxed amid the peaceful environment.

Sa Nas Oman

The villa is spacious and very beautiful with comfortable beds. We spent most of our time in the villa as the view was spectacular, and the Housekeeping ladies went the extra mile to put fresh petals on our bed everyday. Breakfast had good variety, and the dinner was very tasty with a selection of international and local dishes, plus the staff were very welcoming, friendly and made our stay very comfortable.

it was small & beautiful, decorated in Zanzibari style, clean & great air conditioning! It’s on the east side of the island, much quieter & secluded than Stone Town. the staff was wonderful & respected our privacy. The food was excellent—- Italian chef cooked great dishes ( I wish he wouldn’t have yelled at his staff so much!) They were helpful with taxis & excursions. We have no complaints at all & really enjoyed our time there, we also felt very safe!

We had a fantastic 10-day family holiday. The hotel's location is right on the beach, which is cleaned every morning. At this time of year, there was some seaweed, but not too much. The hotel's territory is very green, featuring a few turtles and parrots in the yard and cages, as well as many large wild lizards (guru-guru) roaming around. The kids were amazed. We had two separate rooms. One was very large in a bungalow with two apartments next to the beach and the sea-water pool. The second was also well-sized, about 100 meters from the beach. We enjoyed all three restaurants. Each is worth trying, but the African one was a very pleasant surprise for everyone, including the kids. More than anything, I would praise the staff. They are all very kind and friendly, always trying to help and doing their best for the clients. Thank you all for the incredible memories: the reception team, client manager Angela, and Zabron, the big boss of the main restaurant! We celebrated our son's 7th birthday, and in addition to the famous "Jambo Bwana Hakuna Matata - Happy Birthday" song and the cake, which everyone gets from the restaurant team, we were allowed to use the romantic beach boat as a private venue. It was beautifully decorated and reserved just for us. This was the best child's birthday celebration out of all 40 attempts so far. Local people on the beach can generally be trusted, at least for booking reef excursions with a small booking fee. From our experience, the price should not exceed $10 per person or $30 per boat. I recommend bargaining for everything, as a price reduction of about 50% can usually be achieved. Every person on the beach will try to sell excursions and taxi services, which can be annoying, but also useful if you plan to travel somewhere. Usually, it is cheaper to book with one of them and then negotiate with the same person or driver for the rest.

Laura and the staff are extremely friendly, we’ve been pampered soo much during our stay. Cozy little resort full of flowers and plants, quiet place. We would like to thank Laura for taking care of us even tho she wasn’t there during our stay. The food is yummy, it’s freshly prepared every day. Clean villas with hot and cold water. 10/10
