We stayed here 3 nights, and could agree that this is the nicest hotel we’ve been to! The atmosphere was so relaxing, and the staff was amazing. We had the full board, and the food was delicious! Lobster, crab, beef, tuna - three courses for every meal Also, the hotel offers activities such as local fishing and rent out snorkeling and paddle gear for free. We also did a massage, a romantic dinner and enjoyed our breakfast in the bungalow. Nothing negative to say, really recommend this place!

The Island Pongwe is truly magical - the whole.e island of Zanzibar is very beautiful and raw and obviously very African. The island is just off a small village situated on the beautiful bay of Pongwe and we walked across the sand at low tide when we arrived - the African villas/rooms are fabulous, beautiful views over the sea well equipped and spotless - the food is first class and the staff are absolutely amazing in particular Suzzana who was so helpful and always so cheerful and Johna who did a special sunset meal for us and Steve who was always so helpful, special mention to the chefs who did a fabulous job with the fresh Tuna fish we caught on a fishing trip with the locals on a dhow boat. This hotel is a piece of paradise, I cannot explain in words what a special experience it was to stay there and Zanzibar is still unspoilt by tourism is a fabulous country I totally recommend it - thanks

I searched Zanzibar for different locations to propose to my soon to be wife, and I landed on the island. I called in advance in order to make sure everything went according to plan, and it did. Was very happy with the service for Mika and Juma. I ordered the romantic package and was very pleased with the privacy and the view. I don’t think the food was at the same level as the rest of the experience, but still very happy for how it turned out. Definitely recommend for an evening you won’t forget.

For my 50th birthday, my partner treated me to a week on this island paradise. As soon as informed, the staff made a point of marking the occasion by offering us three-quarters of our stay in the Sultan suite instead of the bungalow we had booked. We were also offered a bottle of wine or whatever else we chose. We were impressed by the exceptional welcome we received from all the staff, who were constantly on hand to make our stay an unforgettable one. Services such as massages are exceptional.the food is everytime a moment of discovery and real pleasure. Visits are organized down to the last detail to make every moment an exceptional one. But above and beyond this paradise on earth, what we remember most of all was the warm welcome we received from these people, who have very little compared to what we have in France, but who nonetheless offered us all their warmth, kindness, happiness and smiles. I'll never forget my 50th birthday, that's for sure! Michaela, Raphael, Anna, Maria, Susana, and all the others, be assured of our eternal gratitude and friendship.
