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."

Essque Zalu Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"Property is beautiful but there is no swimmable beach. They have a shuttle to another resort but they only do it twice a day, You have to pay $10 each but it is consummable, You can use the chairs and umbrellas but by the time you get there after 11 they are all occupied, if you don’t care about the beach then its ok. They have a nice pool and a jetty."

Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great room and attentative staff. Highly recommend."

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"All inclusive hotel with great buffet. Beautiful and large beach."

Uhuru Hotel & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Uhuru was a nice place to stay, and the staff was truly lovely, welcoming, and very helpful throughout my visit. The price was also quite reasonable. The biggest challenge was the frequent power outages. I understand that this was an issue with the local power grid and completely outside of the hotel’s control, but unfortunately, it did impact my experience. The power went out every day or night during my stay, sometimes for extended periods, which meant no lights and no access to WiFi. I also wish I had realized just how far the hotel was from the beach. I enjoyed exploring the area and walking around, but had I understood the distance beforehand, I probably would have chosen a location a little closer to the beach. That said, the property itself is lovely, the staff could not have been nicer, and the price was very reasonable. With more reliable power, I think my experience would have been quite different."

Nungwi Dreams by Mantis

10/10 Excellent

"On a adoré nôtre séjour dans Mantis nungwi dreams. Personnel tres professionel et accueillant, la bouffe etait excellente, les prix etaient bien justifiés, je recommande fortement."
