Nice place, the beach is beautiful. It was empty when I visited.

We really enjoyed Panga Chumvi, we enjoyed it so much that we did two bookings there on our Zanzibar holiday. The resort itself is very well kept-up, you would always see staff around making sure to keep everything is clean and tidy. Big compliment also to housekeeping, our room was extremely well looked after daily. All the other staff were also friendly and helpful, especially the manager Jamal, who also assists with booking of snorkelling trips, etc. Mnemba island is just opposite and there!is also a reef in front of the hotel, where you can walk to at low tide and see some interesting coral formations with colonies of small, colourful fish. Just make sure to wear shoes because there are literally thousands of sea urchins everywhere and it’s hard to avoid contact, especially when swimming. A big plus is the nice pool area, which allows swimming when the ocean doesn’t.

The room was very spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable. It is facing the ocean so you can hear the waves at night. The staff is very friendly

The whole atmosphere of the resort and around is perfect, the people are awesome. Jamal, the manager was always there to help. The pool had a smaller part for small kids, with proper shade above.

Everything was Ok, beach is outstanding,staff was helpful ,some issues were solved immediately by manager Mr Jamal and Mrs Zaina ,we fell like being at home ! We reccomend this place if you want to relax and enjoy the nature!

Location! Quiet beach, comfortable furniture on the deck right by the ocean. Room was clean and serviced every day. Friendly, accommodating staff. Delicious breakfast, very generous for Zanzibari standards.

We had a great stay at Panga Chumvi Beach Resort! The bungalows are right in front of the beach and you even have your own little terrace with sunbeds. Matemwe beach is definately one of the most beautiful beaches on Zanzibar, great for swimming and not crowded at all. There are a few restaurants in walking distances if you don‘t want to eat at the hotel restaurant every night. The room was really clean and there is daily housekeeping with fresh towels. The breakfast was delicious and there are a few options to choose from. We arrived very late and they were waiting for us just so we could still have dinner, which was really lovely. Staff and manager are very friendly and attentive. We had an amazing stay and can recommend Panga Chumvi Beach Resort 100%.

good quiet location , nice breakfast and staff . big rooms

Kitchen is incredible good, wifi is really strong, staff are really friendly.

Amazing staff, Jamal helped us in everything organizing programms etc. The hotel garden is big and full of with trees, really relaxing. The pool was really clean. The food was the best, it’s not swedish table but you get enough. We had breakfast (you get fruit plate, then you choose: omlette with cheese or without/spanish omlette/fried egg/poached egg/scrambled eggs and as an extra u get mushroom or beans. Then you can have a french toast or pancakes. The dinner was also really really delicious, you can choose a starter 2types and then main course around 5types(chicken, seafood, beef, tuna) then dessert. Overall we really enjoyed our stay far from the Covid circus, you can really relax here and if you need anything Jamal helps u and also Matemwe is like 20mins walk, where u can find some shops.

- Is your private beach next to the property or do I need to use a means of transportation to go there?No beach in the whole of Tanzania is technically allowed to be private - all beaches belong to the people. That said, some are quieter or less accessible. Our beach is direct;y in front of the hotel, and this part of the very long silver-sand beach of Matemwe is relatively quiet and wonderfully attractive.Answered on 10 December 2019
- When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?Any time of year! Traditionally High season follows the Northern hemisphere school holidays (July/August, and over Christmas and New Year), however, the weather in Zanzibar is warm and enticing throughout the year. The monsoon seasons do bring rain, but in many ways, they are wonderful in their own rights - the rain on the East coast (driest part of the island of Unguja) is the least anywhere in Zanzibar and usually only lasts about an hour before clearing again into a glorious and sunny day. For those able to travel during these seasons, they are quieter and many places give discounted rates. Beach activities such as snorkelling and diving continue throughout the year unchanged.Answered on 10 December 2019
