Lock in a great price for Hideaway of Nungwi Resort & Spa – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

From the first moment that me and my husband arrived to this resort, everything was absolutely great, beautiful and perfect. Special appraisal I have to give to the resort staff that were the best! Big thanks to our friend Ali at the beach front, also thanks to Francis, Omar and Kevin at the pool/beach bar... definitely without him this experience would not be as great as it was! The food was excelent, also the coctails and the shisha on the shisha lounge. Generally, if one day I would have the chance to go back to this place, I would come back in a hearthbeat! I will never forget this place, it's the best!

“Use your safe, employees are thieves”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Junior Suite
- • Stayed 3 nights
Maid went through our things, found my wallet buried under layers of clothes in a zipped suitcase. All my credit cards were in the wrong spots in my wallet, so I knew someone went in them. They attempted credit card fraud over 10,000 USD which luckily was denied, and when I told the hotel about it, they said "There is no proof that this happened." Of course there isn't, because the only proof would be cameras inside the bedroom. I talked Riu, the parent company, and they refused to do anything. I told them I am not trying to recover this money because i closed my credit cards so all that is fine, but this is a pretty bad customer service issue. They hid behind their insurance company saying it "will not allow them to do anything" because there was "no forcible entry into my room." To me, that makes it worse, because all that proves is somebody with a key to my room did this. Overall, ruined the experience
Food was pretty good

Maybe we would prefer little more music and actions on the entertainment floor after midnight, but ok - generally resort did great evening parties with African night, Gala diner and Masai night!

“Overpriced- Administrative Problems”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Junior Suite
- • Stayed 5 nights
due to our flight, we arrived earlier then planned in the morning like 6.30 am. and asked if our room is ready or they can help us as a honeymoon couple to rest in any available room after a loonngg ride, and the answer was an absolute NO! and they told us we can wait outside till our room is ready around 02 pm or pay 182 US Dollarss!! Then we paid for sure to get rest at least a couple of hours, and surprisingly!! at 10 am the same guy called our room while we were sleeping to tell us that our room is ready and we can move in!!!! That's a very very very greedy approach to your customer I believe. Another annoying thing that we shouldn't have faced during a honeymoon trip was that we had to prove our honeymoon package to the reception guys and their supervisors for 3 times!! First they asked the hardcopy of our honeymoon package( including champagne in room, half an hour massage and a dinner) because they were sold to another hotel chain and there is no confirmation came from previous management?? anyway we brought it them, then they asked for the softcopy in case we created such a document!!!I believe it's an unacceptable approach too, and you can not also do anything on the phone with reception, so they called us to their feet to confirm our dinner as well. For an All-inclusive holiday can be considered, however we had much more fun when we moved to other bungalow type hotel in Nungwi beach for the 1/8 price!!
Staff and facilities are above average, nice beach, clean rooms and very friendly staff except for reception.

“Very good, but overpriced and with room for improvement”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 6 nights
Food - it was generally OK, but considering the price level and hype around the hotel, we expected more. A few examples: many of the fruits were watery and tasteless, coffee is mediocre, beef overcooked every time. We felt the overall standard with food and cuisine didn't hit the five-star bar A/C - too noisy, kept switching on and off many times in the middle of the night Wifi - slow connection, kept dropping all the time More general observations: Pricing policy - we paid for an all inclusive package, but couldn't help noticing the sky-high prices of non-inclusive items ranging from sandwiches to dry cleaning. It was annoying to see given local labor and input costs. Poverty and mess around the hotel and on the entire island - proper 3rd world poverty every step of the way in total contrast with the inside of the luxury resorts. Felt strange and frustrating.

all inclusive food pretty much the same everyday, and the same selection for both lunch then dinner with only a few exceptions. there are 2 speciality restaurants which are nice but difficult to get into as limited seating.
lots of garden space and greenery, never felt overlooked in the room. nice decor, really clean, staff very friendly and excellent selection of all inclusive drinks.

Staff are horrible, no one was trained. Very rude too! Receptionist tried to rob me upon paying for our stay at checkout. 5 bulbs didn’t work in our room. A massive problem of mosquitoes yet they can’t be bothered. I asked for a power socket adapter and they said they don’t have, I asked them;” are you sure this is a 5star ?”

Gymnasium really needs a lot of work (for a 5 star property) as does the service provided by a number of staff members. When paying a lot of money, you expect the staff to jump around and get you a simple drink of choice or a cushion for your lounger not a ‘no’ we don’t have, only to go to the next counter and get it handed over. I was disappointed with the service. It’s not attractive when the staff hang around for a tip too. Also, $180 return to the airport when another provider is charging $40 for the same service?? In my opinion, the staff could do with a simple ‘Zanzihost’ service providers course, teaching and coaching the basic benefits and standards that one expects when paying 5 star prices. Good manners would be a great start ...
The rooms were outstanding, plenty of space for our kids and us, loved the room!!

Amaizing location with beautiful and clean beach and with awsome sunset view. Fantastic hotel with fantastic staff, very friendly very polite very very helpful. Room/Suit was super with all equipment you could need during a holiday. Best quality from soap and body cares. Here your soul and body is treated at the same time. Every evening a “letter” with weather forcast/ tide forecast / programms / lovely quote was placed to our room with many types of tee and deliciuos biscuits. Programms organised by Hotel for the evenings were awsome (African night with local food and dance show with live music, Gala dinner with live music, every evening a good program). Food was very good with restaurants having the wonderful ocean view. Fittness room also very good. Pool/spa area are super sunbeds are everywhere and towels are also provided for you. Prepared breakfast box in case of faculative program. If you requested they sent for you a golf car to trasport you to the restaurants (as bungalows were a little far from the living area but for us it was also perfect as you could walk meanwhile in the beautiful garden as well), but very good service for the elder guests. Lot of coctails and very good wines are included in the all inclusive service. Very nice welcome and goodbye letter. As this hotel can have less quests (not a tipical crowded hotel) all quests are treated with high focus and very high quality. The best 5 star hotel I’ve ever been. Here you are handled like a king/queen.
