Spacious room. Great breakfast selection. Lovely staff. Always water in my room and they came every evening to bug spray, close curtains and put the mosquito net down. Lovely place and the beach/surroundings are beautiful too.

Amazing resort with a stunning view to the ocean and private pool and so peaceful. The staff all of them but especially Godfrey were very kind to us. The accommodation always provided a private cab, when we needed one. The food in the restaurant was good but not great. I want to say thank you to all the staff for the amazing hospitality and great vacation, definitely coming back.

What a paradise! The new resort in Michamvi is an unforgettable experience. The village is enchanting, and the sunset view from the beach is spectacular. Everything was perfectly organized under the management of Precious and Christophe, who have an extraordinary team. A special thanks to Jacob, a remarkable guy with golden hands: his cocktails are fantastic! Thank you for this unforgettable experience.

The stay was amazing, one of my best hotel experiences ever! The host Ahmet and his team create a warm atmosphere and are ready to help at all times. The food was amazing, breakfast varied every day including fresh fruit. They even cooked us a dinner after the kitchen was closed :) After eating we relaxed on one of the garden swings and watched the pool change its colors. The room was high quality with a good AC, comfy bed and refillable water bottle. You can feel that customer satisfaction is their number one priority. Via whatsapp, we were provided with all important information for our stay in Nungwi. I would definitely recommend staying here, everything was perfect.

    The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are huge and it feels like home. Beautifully located on the beach and what makes this hotel so special is the presence of the manager and the amazing staff! We have rarely felt as comfortable as we do here and we have never experienced such an attentive and present manager and we have stayed in many luxury hotels. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive and eager. Our flight was postponed to very late, the Manager Tuan Thasleem Juhara knew that we had to do our checkout the next day and offered us a free late checkout including dinner! We were able to stay in our room until late, enjoy our last day to the fullest at the beach, watch the last sunset, have a shower in our room and enjoyed our last dinner with no rush and then checed out. Simply fantastic and so generous! From the staff at the reception, in the restaurant, bars, gardeners, room cleaners to the manager they are all great and go the extramile! Thank you all for doing such a great job and making us fall in love with you! You really miss these people when you leave this place! Hakuna Matata!

    Fantastic property, friendly and hospitable staff, good location, lovely beach. We stayed in the Villa with Private Pool. The size of the villa was big with two separate rooms and two showers. It also has a large sitting area outside next to the pool. The size of the private pool is quite big. We were half board. The food and variety at Breakfast & Dinner was good.

    Truly enjoyed the pristine beach and the laid back nature of the place. Totally enjoyed several meals at Fish Restaurant which were absolutely delicious. I tried Kingfish, Changu, Perch, White Snapper, Prawns etc. The seafood was phenomenal. We also enjoyed seeing the turtles and the artwork at several curio shops. Also enjoyed an early morning boat ride seeing the dolphins. I can't believe how fast time went by. Looking forward to visiting Zanzibar again.

    Activities are great but most places are teeming with tourists. It's probably better to be taken for activities privately (price will be about the same anyways). Better to book through existing tour operators because the freelance guides always add extra onto the price. Night Food market is a must but be careful not to be ripped off, they just handed you plates of food & then charged a ridiculous amount afterwards. Cape Town Fish Market is a must for a sunset dinner. Prison Island & Nakupenda was average, they were overrun with people. The Spice Farms & Slave Chambers are a must to understand the passed history & Coral Caves have stunning natural pools to swim in deep underground. The North has Mnemba Island, great for snorkeling. The East is windy & good for Kite Surfing. The South is supposed to be good for deepsea fishing but myself & another group only caught white Snapper, no Game Fish.

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food. Boat trips, beach activities, village strolls, getting to know the culture of local people who are very knowlegeable about the natural agriculture and extreemly kind and nice. We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

    The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.
