Top Nungwi Hotel Reviews

The Zanzibari

8/10 Good

"We stayed at The Zanzibari for four nights after a hectic trip to Dar Es Salaam and really enjoyed it. The location is beautiful and private, and we really did get a sense of peace and relaxation. The staff were really good. Very helpful, respectful and accommodating. Both the welcome and goodbye were pleasant and smooth. Transfers were organised swiftly. We felt well taken care of throughout. Thank you for that. My only comment would be that we found some of the staff to be a little intrusive at times, e.g. one knocked on the door persistently and then came into turn down the beds and spray the room. It would have been nice to be given the time to open the door and then be asked if it was OK to do the work. Another came in without us knowing and surprised us on the balcony. I believe it was to fix the toilet. These are the sorts of things that could (should) be done while guests are out. The room was nice and spacious, and the view from our balcony was lovely. Such a great way to start and end the day. The garden area had lots of loungers and never felt crowded. Appropriate footwear was provided for guests wanting to wade into the sea, which was very thoughtful. The restaurant experience was generally OK, though a little inconsistent. We had lunch and dinner - sometimes it was good. At others, it was clear that the food had been sitting for a while before being served. Sometimes, the staff struggled to communicate in English, but they did a good job overall."

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely first class holiday and resort. Food was exceptionally good, both in the a La Carte restaurants and the buffet, grounds were immaculate, staff were friendly and warm. The pool areas and raised beach were fabulous. If you had a question or needed help with something, dial 9 and reception staff sorted it without ever needing to leave your room. Without doubt one of our best holidays ever and we will be going back next year without a doubt. The only note of caution would relate to disabled or elderly clients, the resort is well advertised as large and sprawling and dotted around a hillside, so walking about for some might be difficult. We loved with Island and would rate this holiday overall as a 10/10!"

Maisha Nungwi

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn’t recommend this hotel more! We had an amazing stay at Maisha, the staff were an absolute highlight for us and really made the trip special. A huge shout out to Edward who was always a friendly face with warm conversation and made the best drinks at the bar, he really made our trip memorable! We loved the beach bar and the food and drinks were great. I highly recommend using the TukTuk service to visit local Nungwi & Kendwa beaches, it costs a couple of dollars and is very worth it. The drivers are great and can pick you up whenever needed. The staff are really helpful if you have any questions or need any recommendations on what to do on the island. We loved the couples massage and recommend doing this whilst at the hotel. The hotel is steps away from the Mnarani turtle conservation pond which was a highlight for us, and focuses on turtle welfare and rehabilitation vs a tourist trap."

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"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 your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
