Nice little lodge in a beautiful garden and on the beach. My room was large, with a balcony overlooking the beach. The central area/restaurant area has great beds for relaxing, the pool was small but clean. Easy access to the beach and the sea (great swimming around low tide, otherwise you have to walk a little). Good breakfast. Restaurant changes the menu choices everyday. Food and drinks are reasonably priced.

There are no words to describe how amazing the staff were ! I told them it was my partner’s birthday the day we arrived and the attention that she received was unbelievable. The food was great and the location is so beautiful. I will be advising all my friends to go and visit . We were surprisingly upgraded to the sultan’s suite on our second day ! It was heaven . We spent every morning and evening in the sea and afternoons in the lovely swimming pool . Once again thank you to the amazing staff.

A very pleasant hotel, they work hard to keep everything clean. Not sure if the pool is treated regularly with chlorine.
Staff are always smiling and hard working, they really do a great job and long hours. Asante Sana
There is literally nothing to do unless you get a taxi 45 mins in either direction. So if you're after a holiday in a hotel, it's great, but that's all there is. Not really a beach neither.

You need to take into consideration the feelings of your visitors....we do not like being targeted by people pestering us to buy from them every time we go to the beach. It really is a negative factor of visiting your wonderful island paradise....it spoiled it for us. Also this happened to us on other beaches in Zanzibar so not just a Pongwe problem....its endemic to Zanzibar.

Pongwe is an isolated beach, at low tide the sea is very far away and, even at high tide, it is very shallow - you cannot swim. Kiwengwa beach, next door (10 minutes by car) is much better, more lively, with many shops and good hotels.

There is not much to do in the local area other than visit other hotel resorts. We did visit a local school to make a donation and I would advise bringing something with you to donate e.g notebooks, sweets, money

Small remote holiday village with the white sand beach but not having good beach maintenance (seaweed, some dirt on the beach). Little bit far from anything in Zanzibar (far from Stone city and airport, far from spectacular Nungwi and Paje beach). No bars, restaurants, shops and infrastructure outside the holiday resort due to remote location and low density of tourists.

It has a beautiful setting, a wonderful beach, it is a small quiet and peaceful resort with very friendly staff. Went for a snorkel out on a boat with local fishermen that was organised by the staff. Beach 1 minute away, directly accessibly from the hotel.
Great experience. If you want lots of action go elsewhere.
A note for vegans: They made me a superb vegan breakfast on request, with fresh fruit and grilled vegetables. Lunch/supper option always had 2 vegan / plant based meal options. Just bring your own plant milk.
We wanted a calm holiday to sit back and relax. This is perfect spot for this. Beach were mostly empty and it was clean. There was no party area in the hotel or near by, so you could just listen the ocean if you wanted to.
Be aware there is quite a strong tide that takes the ocean far from the beach. This allows you to walk near the reef and watch sea stars and fishes. Staff were very friendly.
The place is amazing. We needed a place to relax and this hotel was just such a place. Rooms fully equipped. Nothing is missing. We will definitely return to this hotel.
