Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort

"If I have to summarise our experience in one word then it would be "Outstanding". From the moment we arrived till we left, we were offered a very personalised yet very private kind of attention. We concluded our Tanzania trip at Zanzibar. After 5 days of safari which was exhausting, Tulia was a breath of fresh air. The location is right on the beach with private access. Its a small hotel in middle of a vast green space. We stayed in the Luxury oceanfront villa which has views of expansive ocean and offers absolute privacy. This room is huge with a private deck and sitting area overlooking the ocean. The cleanliness is on the mark. They offer housekeeping services twice a day. The food is amazing with a new curated menu everyday. We are vegetarian and our menu used to be curated separately and both the chefs used to make sure in person that our dietary needs are very well taken care of. The surprise platter of snacks sent to me by the chef in the room was such a lovely gesture. Front office manager Mr. Andre took great care of us making our stay immensely pleasurable. The entire staff is dedicated to your services making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Every evening we used to have great fun at the bar. The bartenders are very friendly. All our dietary needs and demands were met, usual or unusual. The Tulia family is full of warmth and friendliness. They make you feel very welcome. You completely feel at home. The hotel is very well designed. I am in awe of their sustainability practices. They produce 85% of their fresh produce, have their own chicken and duck farm, in-house supply of water from well and minimum use of plastic. Joseph from the restaurant team took great care of us in making our meal very special and memorable The dinner time is like a celebration. They arrange some sort of entertainment every evening which is like very amazing and enjoyable. I will be grateful to Tulia family for such a memorable stay and wonderful experience. I highly recommend Tulia!!!"

Zawadi Hotel, Zanzibar

"The hotel has a great view and is very quiet. The food and facilities are satisfactory."

Bahati Sunset Bungalows Michamvi

"Don't support this place; they abuse animals. I witnessed a staff member take a stick to chase a dog away. I understand the need to poke it, but the staff member started hitting the dog in the head. The dog started whining and running away. Dogs are apparently paralyzed by fear of this staff, too. I've noticed the signs before. I said out loud that I didn't like it, and I couldn't help but write it online."

Amani Villas Nature Retreat

"We spent 6 days in Amani Villa Nature Retreat and are very happy and happy! Whoever really looks for absolute rest and a good portion of luxury is right here! The facility consists of only 4 very large houses , which means more than 8 guests are not possible! At the moment, 4 more houses are being built ,which has not disturbed absolute rest at all ! During our stay, we were the only guests all the time ...!!! So all the staff was only for us ...a luxury ...!! The food, whether breakfast, dinner or intermittent was excellent! Thank you to Adam , our cook ! It is very attentive to sustainability and quiet here ! As for example, water in glass flasks, so much you want and always cold and refreshing So there is no TV ... 2 small deductions in the " B Note " : The W-LAN is a little weak and there is no refrigerator in the accommodation. In summary, we are very enthusiastic and completely satisfied! GAAAANZ important ...wer seeks quiet and complete relaxation is absolutely right here. Whoever wants to have trouble and action is wrong here. Anja and Georg "

Pongwe Beach Hotel

"We were very much in need of a holiday when we arrived at Pongwe Beach Hotel. We flew via Paris, landing in the dark, where we were met by our cheery taxi driver. The journey took a little over an hour and it was midnight by the time we arrived. Shown to our rooms, we collapsed in a heap. The morning was glorious, the tide was gently going out a few steps from our room (book 14 or 15, they are lovely!), birds were singing, and there was a swish-swish that we couldn't identify until we spotted a gardener raking the sand. I dimly remembered staggering across that sand with a heavy bag the night before… We met up with our travelling companion in the dining room. Breakfast was a feast of fruit (mango, papaya, pineapple), yoghurt, and almost any combination of cooked eggs you could wish for. Plus waffles, toast…. There followed almost two weeks of indolence. Walking along the beach, or half way to India at low tide, finding good spots to sit and read under palm-thatched umbrellas. Wherever we sat, a smiling member of the team would always eventually find us, quietly asking if we needed anything. The team. They are what makes Pongwe so special. We were lucky to be there at the close of the season, when there were less guests than usual, and we got to know them all very well. They are smartly dressed, gently spoken, cheerful (despite fasting for Ramadan). Nothing is too much trouble. "Can we..?" we would ask. "Why not?" they would reply. All were exceptional. We learned about the island and Tanzania from them, things we would never have discovered for ourselves. To help you decide….the pool is gorgeous and easy to get in and out of. The beach is private and hassle free. The bedrooms are stunning and new bathrooms are being fitted this year. If you are vertically challenged like me, you might need a step to get into the massive carved bed! There is air-conditioning in every room, and a private veranda with sunloungers. The food is exceptional, there was only one day that we were uninspired by the menu and Pili noticed and asked if we would like fillet steak instead! The bar is well stocked, and Famous Grouse Whisky will be "Famous Goose" forever."
