Situated a private stretch of Nungwi Beach, the refurbished Smiles Beach Hotel features sun loungers and hammocks, as well as a large tropical garden.

The hotel is perfectly located in Nungwi, right beside a 5 star hotel where you can find any drink you want (because at Smiles Beach Hotel alcoholic beverage is not allowed). You can take a taxiboat next to the hotel, where some brothers offers you their services. At the hotel you can have many non alcoholic cocktails and they have a nice swimming pool. The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms too. And we had the biggest bed ever :) The food was very tasty, specially the local dishes. But not the coffee... In Africa you will find only robusta coffee, not the usual arabica. We highly recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a nice holiday.

    Most tourist services are available in Nungwi which are difficult to get in other places in Zanzibar. Nungwi is crowded, full of tourist and locals on a more narrow beach. there are blackouts very often. Beach boys everywhere but its not Nungwi specific.

    Nugwi is great with different facilities such as restaurants, shops and grocery stores. The beach was definitely my favorite place to be. The distance from Zanzibar port to Nungwi is quite long- about 1&1/2 hours' drive. At least prepare mentally for this.

    Everything didnt work out.There was no water, electric, wifi. The owner was on drunk, the workers were helpful, but they didnt have money to buy food, we need to wait, when owner will come and give money to workers to buy food (we have food 3 times a day ordered). We arrived to aiport and waited taxo, what we ordered of owner - there was no taxi, we did get taxi of airport and drived to Nungwi. We arrived at 06am, the door was locked, nobody didnt no, that there was reservation. Everything was not good. I`m sorry for workers, i don`t now how they live there.... We did give money to workers and they lived of this house next day, because owner abused them. This all is what to remember, but not in good way. We where this apartment about 6hours and we buy internet to get new apartment and we lived of this.

    Nungwi would probably be OK if you stayed in an all...

    Nungwi would probably be OK if you stayed in an all inclusive resort, but otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. Decent restaurants were few & far between and everything is very expensive! Places close early too.

    The beach is just ok compared to other tourist beaches...

    The beach is just ok compared to other tourist beaches around the world. For the same price, I could go to a beach in Greece. For a third of the price, I could go to southeast Asia and get a world class beach. I ate at the Dodoki Cafe. Nice food, but pricey. Getting to Nungwi is easy by car, but once you reach the town, the road becomes a bombed out scene of desolation. Just crazy. I would probably avoid the area of the island if I came back.
