We spent 5 nights here, really nice hotel and the staff where all lovely. Really helpful. The hotel was very clean and secure. Pool was nice just right temp to cool down. Beach was a bit too busy so wouldn't describe it as a private beach. I would definitely stay here again.

great place right on the beach
We were very happy that we chose to stay here on our recent trip. The hotel is right on the beach and all the staff could not be more helpful, accommodating and welcoming. It was very nice also that the General Manager (Julie) personally welcomed us and took an interest throughout our stay in ensuring that we were happy with everything. We were on a bed and breakfast basis which suited us perfectly, we ate both in the Hotel and local area and can recommend both. All in all a very nice place to stay in Nungwi.
