Top Nungwi Hotel Reviews

Amaan Beach Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right on the water. Very well priced for a great experience in Nungwi. Nothing bad to say about the place. Beds are pretty firm, but thsts pretty standard for Zanzibar and most Southern African places (that are not 5 stars and super expensive). Would definitely come back again"

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best stay and would highly recommend Riu Palace Hotel Zanzibar to anyone visiting Zanzibar. Every part of our holiday exceeded our expectations. The staff were exceptional and always made us feel so welcome. A special mention goes to the entertainment team, who were full of energy and made every day so enjoyable. The aqua aerobics was a particular highlight! The evening bar staff were also fantastic. They were incredibly friendly, attentive and always went the extra mile. The included water sports were a bonus and added even more to our experience. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views wherever you look. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly cleaned every day. The food was outstanding throughout our stay. There was plenty of choice, and the fish was consistently cooked to perfection. We also really enjoyed the speciality restaurants, where both the food and service were excellent. We also booked an unforgettable day trip to Mikumi National Park for a safari, as well as a trip to Mnemba Island where we swam with dolphins and snorkelled among tropical fish. We also visited the turtle sanctuary, which was another fantastic experience. Definitely do this early in the morning before all the tourist arrive. All of these excursions made our holiday even more memorable. Overall, this hotel has everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. We would definitely return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it."

The Zanzibari

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions we had. The ocean view was absolutely beautiful and made our stay even more relaxing. We also enjoyed spending time at the pool, which was clean and well-kept. Overall, this was a lovely place to stay, and we would definitely recommend it to other travelers looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation."

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!"

Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Everything about this property was exceptional but there is only one thing that needs improvement. The Check-in process. This resort can be booked using different booking agencies such as Expedia. At the check-in counter, we had three different check-ins going on but hotel was not able to locate the check-in easily. They had to make multiple phone calls to find their booking. Despite having all the proof and evidence, they could not locate the booking in their system. This was happening at 11:00 PM at night. I booked mine using Expedia so mine was easy to locate fortunately. My family members used different agencies to book and it took them multiple phone calls and almost 2 hours (in the middle of night) to locate their booking. That whole experience could have been improved. Imagine you had a long 8-9 hours flight, went through the crappy and unnecessary lengthy Tanzania immigration process and finally came to the resort to start the vacation and you still have to go though 2 hours long of check-in process simply because resort cannot see the booking in their side. And the customer who booked has all the paper trail, email chains and payment proof that they have booked it. Other than that, this resort, staff, food, location, service, amenities, etc, everything is exceptional."

Essque Zalu Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"Magnifique hôtel, très propre, le staff est d’une extrême gentillesse. Point négatif est la nourriture, trop international, service long et ce n’est pas très bon. Il faut aussi noter que si on veut aller à la plage , il faut payer . Et le restaurant de la plage n’est pas bon du tout . Mais en dehors de ça c’était un super hôtel."
