Situated in Nungwi and with Nungwi Beach reachable within a few steps, Dhow Beach Boutique Hotel features a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a private beach area. The property is around 43 km from Kichwele Forest Reserve, 45 km from Cheetah's Rock and 48 km from Mangapwani Coral Cave. The accommodation offers room service and a 24-hour front desk for guests. We loved the location being on the beautiful Nungwi beach, great sunsets and a perfectly clean, modern hotel. The staff were so nice and helpful, very thoughtful as well, especially the ladies cleaning the rooms, we always had magnificent flower and towel arrangements and they were just so sweet. The receptionist is also so welcoming and kind. The staff in the restaurant were also very attentive and always coming to give more water if needed. The food was very tasty and well seasoned. The prices were reasonable (in dollars). The chicken and mango salad was to die for :). Bonus points for the breakfast as it was really yummy and different every day which really pleasantly surprised us. Debbie, one of the waitresses was such a golden girl, we really loved her and made real friends (we wish her luck for her upcoming wedding). The wifi was perfect with extenders all over the hotel, great for anyone looking to work from there or watch movies in the room. Overall, we had a great experience and really recommend this lovely boutique hotel.
