Perfect simple beach holiday - the location is perfect, right on the beach. The staff are super friendly, the included breakfast is delicious and plentiful. It's not fancy but very good value for money, I felt welcome and safe.

Loved the customer care. Staff very committed to helping you. Went over and above to play with the children. Pool inviting. Small resort but 5 star. Good chef with choices. Food was a bit expensive when same meal in stone town was much cheaper but all resorts marked up food. So going to another reort was not a solution

The most amazing part is about the staff and the food. Everyone from the staff is smiling and in a good mood, treating you like a v.i.p. The food is absolutely delicious, I think the best we had in 14 days of Tanzania (we ate in approx 15 places): many compliments to the chef. Especially Elia, from the staff is a lovely and funny person

We really enjoyed our staying at Pakachi. Rooms are basic in a rustic style, but cleaned impeccably every day. Very nice to have the room prepared for sleep each evening :) Good to have a pool for the low tide hours (also for a quick cooling, as the beach in front does not offer a good entrance in the sea, due to many rocks) Food is tasty, diverse options and well priced. Steve is a nice and careful host and so is the whole staff - we felt very welcome and we thank you all. Will return for sure!

The hotel grounds are nice, the beach itself is good, just not great for swimming. There are rocks/coral & even when the tide is in it doesn’t get deep forever. You can walk around, even at night without issues, which was great! The pool is quite nice! We found the service & staff were wonderful! The rooms are nice and clean, however could use a little work. All in all, as long as you remember that it is a 2*, most people should be satisfied.

Our stay at Pakachi was incredible. The owner provided hands down the best service and all of the employees were super friendly. For anyone seriously interested in having all of the amenities, there is no A/C in the standard rooms, but in our opinion, it enhances the experience of really living on the beach. The food was incredible, the service was incredible, and we could not have asked for a more relaxing stay. We look forward to returning to Pakachi!!

We absolutely loved our stay Pakatchi!!! We spent four nights at this wonderful place and wish we could have stayed more. The staff are extremely friendly. The food was delicious, and most of all the view from our beach bungalow was just awesome. Few steps down some stairs and you right on the beach. Highly recommend paying a bit more for that amazing view. Waking up to sunrise over the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing was incredible. There a great pool for swimming when the tide is out. We are very simple folks and don’t need luxury, so our bungalow was perfect for us, however if you are looking for modern fittings, bells and whistles and aircon , then you may want to look elsewhere as the bungalow are very basic and rustic which we loved.

Resort molto tranquillo, bella posizione sulla spiaggia e ci è piuciuto molto il ristorante sulla spiaggia, I piatti abbastanza vari e la colazione compresa abbondante. E' un resort per chi cerca un posto rilassante non lussuoso.

Pakachi Beach Resort is like feeling at home in a place like Zanzibar. I don't have words to describe Steve, his wife Angela and all the staff.. they are all so nice, kind and friendly, I found a family down there and I won't never forget anybody! The Pakachi is a quiet place, cozy, comfortable and clean. They have a swimming pool, even if they are in front of the beach, beautiful white sand.. I was forgetting to speak about the food! Well.. so good! Wonderful breakfast every morning! So, again, thanks guys! Best holiday ever!

The Pakachi beach resort is real value for money. Steve the owner is a gracious host and ready to go the extra mile for his guests. The hotel is situated right on the beach in breathtaking surroundings. The food is excellent with 2 professionally trained chefs. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is well maintained used it every day. Thanks Steve for a great week. Cheers, Bob

If you want to relax by the beach, read a book and grab a piña colada, look no further. We had a magical time here, waking up to the sound of the waves every morning and getting up from the bed to get breakfast in the restaurant where a smiling staff member would serve us a delicious breakfast. A special thank you to Steve, his wife, and the Staff (from the guards and chefs to the restaurant staff). They were most accommodating to every request we could think of, always with a response "hakuna matata - no worries," and we were always met with a smile whenever we would go talk to them. The staff at Pakachi is very kind and happy. They really make the place feel warmly welcoming. Dos and Don'ts: Do: Ask Steve (the owner) for help in arranging rides from the Airport and in arranging trips and activities. You will get guaranteed, cheaper and safer experiences; you will be able to find your phone in case you lose it in the cab; you will not spend hours haggling for a cheaper price (a price Steve will likely still beat); you will know what to get and won't have surprises of not getting a snorkel or water during the trip after all. Don't: Look for better food elsewhere. Eat your meals at Pakachi. We tried restaurants up and down the beach and the food wasn't as great as at Pakachi. Pakachi had delicious food with great prices, fresh seafood and a nice mix of local and Western foods. Why make the hike elsewhere?
