We choose the best resort for our honeymoon! The overall energy is calm and very friendly. The staff was very attentive and kind. English skills were very good and we liked to talk to all of the employees. Rooms were very clean and big, quiet and comfortable big bed. We liked the tiled bathroom a lot and there was no bad smell. In the room we had everything we wanted and also got a nice welcoming surprise and room upgrade! 😃 We mostly ate at the resort and enjoyed the food a lot. There was a big offer of dishes, from local cuisine with fresh fish to pizza, pasta and burger. Virgin Mojito was our favorite drink 🥰 Pool was perfect to cool down. There were not so many guests, due to low season and it felt very private by the pool. We had a lot of fun playing with Coco, their pet monkey. She is so cute! My favorite part was the stunning view! Very well maintained beach and comfortable sun lounger were perfect to relax and enjoy the view! ✨️😊

We loved our stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel! We were looking for somewhere to relax after climbing Kilimanjaro, and it certainly delivered. The staff was amazing, the grounds were beautiful, and we chose the room with the private plunge pool and it was so worth it. The restaurant was great and always offered Western and local options for each meal. There was a Swahili buffet on Friday evening, which was delicious. The breakfast was a combination of self-serve fruit, bread and yogurts, along with made-to-order options that varied slightly each day. The hotel also helped us arrange a snorkeling/hand-fishing trip one morning from the beach for $20 USD per person. So fun! Would definitely recommend for a private, relaxing vacation.

Cozy and quiet room with Ocean exceptional view ! Roustique but confy, fair equiped, with a traditional Zanzibar touch. Just few steps from beach, walking on the white immaculate sand of Pongwe. Away from crowded areas, Salty water swimming pool just perfect as option to Ocean waves, in windy days. Traditional eating area with a lovely bar, nice music backsounds (by evening) and a wonderful smiling team trying to offer the best time of your life, during stay. Ask for mango or pineapple fresh juice and please try the exceptional lunch or dinner menu's made by the local kitchen Chef. At least one Michelin star from our side. If you plan to visit other island spots just ask Petra (the owner) for support. We were amazed by the tides amplitude and how nature looks in both high and Nakupenda Queen of Sheba ! Problem free....philosophy ! Hakuna Matata !

We were greeted by Yussuf, and that's when the amazing experience began. He showed us around and introduced us to the Jennifa and Ima, who were absolutely amazing throughout the whole stay. Immediately, we were impressed by the whole setting of Santa Maria Coral Park, palms, hammocs, pool, many chill seating spots, bar on the beach, restaurant, and just few steps away from the beach. You just immediately get the chill vibe going around and you right away embrace it completely. Then we met Musa, who served us drinks and was always up to a chat about pretty much anything. Yussuf runs the place along with his brother Yasser and their father, which makes it a family business, and it shows. You feel like part of the family right away. Both Yussuf and Yasser are always around greeting you every time they see you, making sure you have everything you need. You want to go on a trip and just made up your mind? No problem, guys will just get you a taxi and off you go. You want a fresh coconut? The coconut man will climb a palm and in minutes you're drinking fresh coconut water. Should you choose to just chill around the whole day, you can get every meal of the day from a wonderful local restaurant directly at Santa Maria Coral Park with lots of local meals and options with lots of smiles from chef and staff. We also met Yussuf's and Yasser's uncle Salim, who was visiting for holidays, so it really felt like you're part of a big family all the time. On Christmas Eve, Yussuf arranged a special seafood platter for us on the roof of the restaurant, which was pretty amazing. It is definitely recommended to go visit Queen of Sheba resort which is managed by Yussuf's and Yasser's father and his wife Petra which basically means you have two places you can chill at any day.

    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.

    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.
