Absolutely great location, on the beach, sunsets

This is a great base for a holiday in Zanzibar. Day trips or outings are possible from here, with the wonderful advantage to always come back to this lovely spot each day.

Good location but room needs work

Positive is that the room was on the beach , very close to everything and the breakfast was great. However the room has black mold in the bathroom and air conditioning, the air-conditioning was leaking and the bathroom wasn't thoroughly cleaned before our arrival.

Great location but …

On the plus side, the locality and the friendliness of the staff is great. However, the the breakfast was on the poor side and disappointing. It wasn’t good at all. The hotel bears it’s toll of being the oldest in Nungwi.

The location is great!! Extended power outage, 2 non working generators, excessive amount of flies during breakfast, Beach towels are sparingly given even though you are charged for them..and the place was empty..The resort needs renovations immediately!!! Staff is kind, but poorly trained. Management comes across at times hostile and condescending (Training Training, people skills is seriously lacking..)

After a hectic few days in Stone Town, Amaan was the perfect way to end my Zanzibar holiday. I initially booked a room at Kanjibange Bar, which ended up being the wrong place for a solo older female. When I texted my new friend Maskat (the incredible woman who manages the Learn Traditional Cooking with Mama's of Zanzibar (best cooking class ever - a MUST if you are into learning Zanzibar cooking / culture) how uncomfortable I was at my hotel, she suggested I book at Amaan Beach Bungalows, and I was so glad she did. It was clean, comfortable, with a lovely pool and great massage right there on the property. Steps to the beach and Maasai shopping and easy walking distance to lots of restaurants. Great choice!

Location of property was great. Unfortunately their service and quality of rooms were not good. Our room did not have hot water for all 3 days. To get hot water I had to go to reception and let them know and only then we would get hot water. At certain point we had no water at all. Had to bath by filling water bottles.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was great. The pool was convenient and there was plenty of sun chairs for the amount of guests. The resort has everything you need from a convenient store, massage, PADI shop and two restaurants. The happy hour is great but the food is so-so. The hotel staff are kind and very helpful. The staff at the restaurant are kind but sometimes on island time and orders aren’t always correct, which happens sometimes. Overall would recommend. The AC in our room didn’t blow all the way to the bedroom as it was in a corner. The fan breeze somehow could not go through the bed net. And the washroom stayed fairly humid and warm.

Definitely worst resort I’ve stayed in throughout my trip. Came here to enjoy a nice vacation with my wife & was provided with a twin bed room with no working AC. We complained about not having a queen bed and AC like we paid for & was told to sleep for the night & everything would be handled the next day 3/4 night we slept with nothing resolved. Good luck getting any refunds from these people but I guess you get what you paid for. Price definitely reflects the state of their “resort”.

Over-rated

We read many amazing reviews, paid premium to have better experience. To the contrary, we didn't have a great experience. Nobody bothered at the hotel to clean the room, we requested 3 times in a day at various point but they said they are busy and only to clean late evening. Food was horrible we had 2 meals there breakfast and one dinner post that we decided to eat out. Overall, we found that there were better hotels around with better service. At Amaan, they don't bother about customer experience as long their rooms are full.
