9. Terry's villa Nungwi

0.6 km from Nungwi Beach

"I’m happy to strongly recommend Terry’s Villa to anyone traveling to Nungwi. I stayed there with my family, and we had a spectacular experience from start to finish. The villa itself was clean, spacious, and very comfortable — especially appreciated after long days exploring Zanzibar’s beautiful beaches. Although the villa is located a few minutes from the beach, it’s still within easy walking distance, which made getting around very convenient. A special mention goes to the manager, Shivji, who...

"I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this hotel owner. We paid $2,700 for what was clearly sold to us as a 3-day tour, but after payment it was suddenly reduced to only 2 days with no proper explanation or refund. To make matters worse, we were left at the airport without any transportation arranged, despite this being part of what was discussed. Since then, the owner has ignored our messages and refused to respond or take responsibility. This felt unprofessional,...

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on...

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"People leaving there towels on chairs."

Double A Nungwi Beach Hotel – Beach Front

10/10 Excellent

"Glad I took a gamble and stayed at this rustic boutique hotel. Its was totally worth it and sat quite well with my budget. As a 1st timer in Zanzibar I chose to stay @ Nungwi but was flooded with options of specific hotel to stay at without breaking the bank or having regrets about choice. It was my 1st time over expericing and out dorsy reception ...they sure made that style work for them.Thd front office staff were so welcomig with a wet hand towel and a cold glass of hibiscus drink. House keeping was also top notch cleaning 2ce everyday and sorting insecticides at night to keep the pesky skits away. The AC sure work well good water pressure clean beddings ample supple of tea and coffee in the room. Didn't bother with tge tv though. The chef on duty on the BBQ night dod a phenomenal job on my choice of grilled red snapper. The location was just perfect for needs. Met and had a good chat with both the female American and male Asian Manager. Highly recommended. Was so impressed I extended my stay by a night."

Cocolala Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Cocolala was a fantastic stay! Sebastian and his team were extremely helpful and made everything very easy. We were able to book our snorkeling and transport through the hotel, enjoy a tasty breakfast each morning and being a one minute walk to the beach was great!"

Smiles Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a amazing hotel with great views and amazing staff who really took care of us. Its muslim friendly and in a great location food was amazing aswel. Its beach front and a masjid very close easy to go on excursion from here to all around the island. Allowed us to check out a little later with no extra cost. Also would recommend upper floor for views. Very very beautiful stay and amazing views i would definitely come back and hightly recommend it"

My Blue Hotel

Amazing Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice stay at Amazing beach hotel! Staff are exceptional and made the experience much more enjoyable for me and my family. Property kept well. Perfect for solo travelers but even for a small family. Restaurants very close with good food. Waking up to the view of the beach was incredible. Highly recommend, I would definitely return myself! A+👌 ⚠️ A word of warning the Property only accept cash, so you will have to pay for your stay at the reception, not through Expedia or any other booking site. There was abit of confusion when I arrived and I had to pay again in cash but currently waiting for a refund from expedia, so it all worked out. Just letting you know to avoid this happening to someone else. ⚠️"

Zenobia Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"I had an amazing stay at Zenobia Beach Resort. The service was excellent, and everyone was so kind and welcoming from the moment | arrived. The resort is right on the beach with a beautiful view, and the à la carte breakfast was a great start to each day. Glory, the hotel manager, was wonderful and made sure everything ran smoothly. I also want to mention Ali, our tour guide, was friendly and made my experience even better. My only complaint is it had bad water pressure"
