If we could give this property a higher rating, we would! My wife and I stayed there as the last stop of our honeymoon trip across Zanzibar, and our experience in this hotel exceeded our expectations! Villa: We stayed at the Sultan Villa, which was very spacious and clean and offered an opportunity to unwind during the day whenever we needed a break from the sun. The bed was very comfortable, and the view of the ocean was dreamy! There is a good-sized patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee first thing and listen to the calming waves. We also got the chance to watch some monkeys playing directly in front of us, which was great entertainment. Food: If you are a foodie, you will love this place. From breakfast to dinner, we were spoiled for choice, including freshly baked pastries, numerous egg options made right in front of you by one of the chefs, local fruit, and freshly brewed coffee. The dinners were two-hour long feasts with different themes each night. We were lucky to experience the Swahili dinner on Tuesday night, with live music to accompany the expertly prepared meals. We also had a special welcome dinner prepared for us on the beach on the first night, which we really appreciated :) Staff: The nicest people working on the property who were always happy to help and made us feel at home! We learnt a lot about the dishes they were serving and their ingredients. You also have someone by the pool area to talk about the tides and the best times for swimming or kayaking/paddling (both sports are available at the property). Pool / beach area: Very comfortable loungers with a direct view of the ocean! The whole property is very well maintained. Spa: Definitely get to the spa before leaving, we had a very relaxing massage and my wife got a papaya facial which she loved. We would love to come back next time we are in Zanzibar! Thank you for everything :)

We originally booked White Paradise in Zanzibar for one night thinking of it as a good stop off between Paje and Nungwi. We loved it so much though that we ended up staying for another 3 nights and never even going to Nungwi! The whole place is paradise and the property is perfectly thought out in every way from the amazing pool, to their private jetty and sea pool. Without doubt the best place we stayed in Zanzibar.

Tulia was an absolute beauty- luxurious. The staff service was top, the details on the building, the place is soo serene. I can’t praise it enough… it was calming. Michaelle treats you like you are her only guest- with much care and attention. They do fine dining so there is two options to pick on for main course each day- which might be limiting for some. It was not the case for us. We loved Tulia and hope to be back again next time in Zanzibar!

You need to take into consideration the feelings of your visitors....we do not like being targeted by people pestering us to buy from them every time we go to the beach. It really is a negative factor of visiting your wonderful island paradise....it spoiled it for us. Also this happened to us on other beaches in Zanzibar so not just a Pongwe problem....its endemic to Zanzibar.

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.

Beautiful location! Opening your doors onto that most beautiful view of the Indian Ocean is the most incredible things about this! The pool area and Temple bar is also wonderful. Breakfast is adequate. We ate at the hotel 3 times. Twice we had lovely food, once was not so good. We had burritos and they were deep fried and incredibly greasy. We loved Mwini and Perdo, they made our stay really happy. We also loved the hotel dogs, although did feel sorry for them as there never seemed to be food/water for them.

The hotel was simply perfect, everything we could have hoped for on our honeymoon and more! From start to finish it was flawless service from the friendliest and most attentive staff we’ve ever experienced. The location, rooms, pool, facilities, etc were all amazing and the layout/size of the hotel was great! Finally, the food was exceptional and the all inclusive is well worth it! Overall, Tulia made our honeymoon so special and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you!

I found the hotel very clean, both inside the room and in the hotel facilities. The only place where I found some garbage (and it wasn't much) was on the beach, but that could be garbage that comes in with the tide. I didn't think there was a huge choice of food, but what there was was good. The cocktails were very good. The transfers were super punctual. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I found the hotel to be very much like the photos on Booking.
