    There are a lot of salesmen in the beach which can be very annoying and disturbing when you are trying to relax. There is a couple of hours or three every day where the tides are quite big, and you can’t cool in the ocean. We were there during full moon so it was a bit more extreme with the tides

    Nice rooms, our room had a funny smell though. Staff was friendly, food was nice and the hotel bar and area right by the water was amazing. The hotel has free sun beds for their guests. The area is filled with nice restaurants and bars

    Nothing I didn’t like. It was great for a short visit with my son but certainly not a luxury destination. We had a wonderful time.

    The location was great. I liked being on the beach and how close it was to the grocery store and other restaurants. The staff were great, room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant was fine but we ate elsewhere for the most part.

    Some errors with payment with the card and missunderstanding taxes etc. Not a nice smell in the toilet. Basic accommodation with that price.

    charming hippie-like accommodation near the pitoresque beach. Good but limited breakfast. Delicious juices.

    The power outages are unavoidable but we had a 8 hr blackout which was disappointing and staff were unable to make breakfast bag for us. It is very hot on this side of the island so just keep it in mind.

    Breakfast was awesome. The view was amazing. The staff were friendly. The water cooler to refill bottles was really appreciated.

    The mosquito net didn't cover the bed well enough, and it had holes in it.

    Basic, but really clean room with a fridge and plenty hot water in the shower. Great location with the restaurant part of the hotel right on the beach, fantastic views, and good-sized breakfast with fresh juice and fruit included. The food at the restaurant was really tasty and we ate there several nights. All the staff members were lovely and extremely friendly. Free beach beds for guests to use. Highly recommended

    not the first time in this hotel, but I like it more and more, now the restaurant has been rebuilt, you can watch fantastic sunsets from the restaurant, while eating delicious food. The staff is super friendly, your own sun loungers on the beach are very comfortable

    Nothing. We feel we were lucky to find this place.

    Right next to the beach, you get your feet wet :) Friendly staff, rooms super clean and comfortable. The restaurant is great, the prices are fair. To be honest, it is the best value accommodation in Nungwi beach. Special thanks to Yoel and all the staff for making our stay wonderful.
