The resort is located right next to Nungwi beach and has a big nice restaurant on the sea terrace. When it's high tide you are dining right above the sea and it is very peaceful and joyful. Here is a short summary of what we liked during our stay: - Welcome. The Turkish manager (or the owner maybe) did a very warm welcome: we had a pleasant small talk, he told us about nearby places and recommendations. He also texted a brief local guide with recommendations and prices. This saved us some money in the markets and water taxi. Overall, this welcome cheered us up after a long trip and set the great tune for the rest of the stay. - Staff. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful: starting from the cleaning crew and the restaurant staff, up to reception, security and the management. I've seen the restaurant crew being very tired in the end of the day. Yet, they always remain cheerful and helpful which shows just how hard they work. They don't ask for it, but I foster everybody leaving good tips during the stay, or in the end of it. Kudos to everybody! - Meals and Drinks. The chef is very good and all the meals were well-balanced and delicious. Can say the same for the drinks. We stayed in different places and different resorts and in other places we might have wanted to have more variety in the menu, or for the portions to be bigger or for the meals to be tastier. But in this resort we never had such thoughts. On our last day we were dining on the terrace. Since we were checking out very early in the morning, we knew that we needed to do the end payment for the restaurant bills. So the manager/owner approached us. But it wasn't about the payment, he was going home at that time and just wanted to shake our hands, to thank us for the stay and to wish us good luck. So the stay was perfect from the beginning to the very end and we wish we could stay there longer but our trip was ending.

We were two families with kids of all ages. We had a perfect time. The staff is genuinely friendly and happy to cater to your every need. The location right on the beach is superb. The bungalows and restaurant are around the pool so if you have young children you can watch them in the pool at your leisure. The atmosphere was relaxed. It is a small place so no crowds. The beach was great. The breakfast was delicious and very gracious with a menu to chose from even though it was complementary

The reception on the day we arrived was very warm. The owners are exceptionally hospitable, friendly and always went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. I loved the ambience. It's a beautiful hideout, very quiet, calm, beautiful greenery, a real home away from home. Everything is well thought out and functional. They have clean rooms, very comfortable beds, a clean pool, fresh and delicious food, friendly staff, and it's a convenient location from the beach (3 minutes walk) and tourist markets. I would instantly book my stay again and will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Nungwi. It's worth the money spent!

I have never felt better cared for at a hotel / resort, than I did at AVO. We were greeted on arrival by the owner, and offered fresh juice on arrival while they took our bags to our room. They met our every need during our stay with alacrity and grace. The system of communication, using WhatsApp to reach out for help, was inspired. And the included breakfast was extensive, and delicious. We were delighted to be staying on the east coast of the island instead of the more touristy / populated north beaches.

    The service at this hotel is the best I have experienced. Khadija and Salim took great (and warm) care of us, following up on everything related to us and our stay. Nicole took care of any concerns with sincerity. Front desk Ali and the others, all so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Others, like Tunu, Abu Bakr, Washa and so many others that unfortunately would be impossible to mention all their names, made us feel happy, special and made our experience extremely enjoyable. Special mention to the impressive daily atmosphere and food of Kilimanjaro restaurant. Lovely hotel, on a beautiful beach.

    The vibes are great — everything you need is nearby,...

    The vibes are great — everything you need is nearby, including shops, restaurants, and tour offices. Restaurants on the beach tend to be a bit pricey, but if you take a short walk into the side streets, you’ll find places offering the same quality food at much more reasonable prices. What I didn’t like were the beach boys — they’re nice and friendly, but can be a bit annoying as they keep trying to sell things. They’re not too pushy, but it’s hard to relax when someone approaches you every couple of minutes. The only time you can truly enjoy some peace is early in the morning. Important note : you have to strongly negotiate the prices and people are very nice and easy going Try to learn few words from their language they will be super happy :)

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination with beautiful beaches, friendly people, and a rich culture. Stone Town is full of history and character, and the spice farms, sandbanks, and snorkeling trips make the experience unforgettable. The food is delicious, especially the seafood, and the atmosphere is so relaxing. I highly recommend visiting Zanzibar for anyone looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation.

    If you have only stayed at Sheraton, Marriott, Ritz, King George or similar hotels - this is not your place. But if you are looking for clean beaches, clear sea, delicious food, peace, close contact with nature, friendly and courteous staff - this is it. There are many bars and small restaurants along the coast that offer a variety of food. In addition, in the town (of course African) you can buy products that are very fresh, and the people are friendly. Here you can buy handmade jewelry and souvenirs from the local population and the Masai.

    Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

    Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

    The beach is arguably one of the best on the island—long, swimmable, and vibrant. While it has more energy and amenities than a secluded spot, we still found it peaceful and relaxing, especially during the mornings. It's the perfect base for anyone who wants both stunning beach life and easy access to restaurants and activities.

    The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

    Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from Forodhani, and the journey can feel quite long—particularly if you have just arrived in Zanzibar. The drive is somewhat uncomfortable due to the condition of the road, which consists largely of worn, uneven tarmac. Additionally, the area lacks local street food options, leaving nearby hotels—most of which are high-end and expensive—as the primary dining choices. As someone who genuinely enjoys the rich and flavorful cuisine of Stone Town, I found the food in the area to be rather bland and not reflective of its price point.
