Harvesting seaweed at low tide in Pongwe.
Harvesting seaweed at low tide in Pongwe.
No safari trip to Tanzania is complete without a short hop to Zanzibar and the great beaches to relax. I actually proposed to my wife on this beach - not sure how useful this information is to fellow travellers, but holds a lot of memories for me... #lifeatexpedia #beach #nature

The honeymoon suite with private plunge pool was lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the room had a large bathroom and shower area. The room was beach front with a small shaded terrace. The food was mixed. Sometimes good and other no so good. Unfortunately we got food poisoning whilst there ...

The room was amazing - right on the beach so you are staring at the ocean from bed. The service was wonderful - everyone was so helpful and so attentive. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the included massage was top rate.

9/10 Wonderful! (42 reviews)
The hotel itself is nice but the location is very far from everything. We were suppose disappointed that we did not read anywhere about high and low tide. We did not have access to the beach due to this and of course if we knew would not have booked this location. Also shuttles to a different beach ...

The hotel is in a very convenient location. It is a short walk to the Forodhani Gardens and the former Slave Market. There are several restaurants closeby especially a very popular one Lukmaan. The area around the hotel is bustling in the day and quiet at night. A taxi cannot drive up to this property ...

Amazing hotel
The hotel is beautiful and the views are wonderful. The road to the hotel is rough but that doesn't bother me. The beds need to be more comfortable. They are a little too hard for me. Other than that everything else was great!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It's a cute area but not much to do around the resort other than taking tours which we were not in the mood for

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

the world is so big that I always want to go somewhere else; in this particular resort we may go back with the entire family. It was that good.
