I’ve stayed in many beachfront and boutique hotels in Zanzibar, but this place is truly a hidden gem. It offers great value for money, and the staff is exceptionally flexible and welcoming. The hotel features two restaurants, one of which is located on a pier, providing an amazing dining experience with ocean views. The food quality exceeds expectations, especially compared to other hotels in the same category. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and well-designed, with large balconies where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. The peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect place to unwind and escape the noise of daily life. As a bonus, the hotel even has a tropical beachside gym, which is a rare find in Zanzibar. Highly recommended for those seeking a balance of comfort, nature, and great hospitality!

The bungalow was amazing. One of the best hotel rooms I've ever been at. Great price-quality. During the rains I could take a bath in the sea-view bath tube. Private sand beach and patio were perfect for relaxing in total relax and privacy. Highly recommended.

    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.

    Everything was perfect! The staff extremely nice and helpful, the food was very tasty, there was every day a different choice freshly cooked. The room was calm, clean and comfortable. The hotel is located directly on the beach and has a big beautiful garden with many different relaxing places to chose to spend the day. As an addition are cute bushbabies living in the garden :) we really enjoyed our stay very much and would go back again any time!
