Excellent staff, with a system of no individual tips, but a tips box. For a British traveller this is ideal and avoids uncompfortable 'should I be tipping' moments. Loverly private pool and communal pool, and a relatively secluded beach with few hawkers. Free to use Kayaks which was very much appreciated. Tours could be booked at reception and they worked as advertised. The food was excellent, although a little pricey. The rooms do not have airconditioning but a cooling system for the bed making the experience much more pleasant that feared. A nice family atmosphere with board games available, but it is euqually a great setting for a couples get away with cocktail happy hour and moolit beach walks.

The beach was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and most roooms were located In direct connection to it.

Beautiful location, pool, food - great swimming spot

Beautiful authentic hotel, with an amazing private beach that looks like it was taken out of a postcard. Thanks to the bay, the low tide was soft, relatively to the east and south sides of Zanzibar. Great restaurant with a beautiful view and varied food. The hotel highlight in our opinion was the staff - always kind and smiling, willing to help with any request.

Very private and calm, clean beach and total security. Staff were amazing and very respectful. We did 4 hotels during our stay and this is the best in this range, private beach where you can swim without sea ursins and not bothered by too many beach boys

The property is located in one of the most beautiful beaches for sure, it is stunning and very private. the service is exceptional, the food of good quality and the resort is very eco friendly. The Wi-Fi is good in all areas including on the beach.

Incredible location, feels exemely remote, most secluded beach area we have been to during a 2-week round journey through Zanzibar. INCREDIBLY beautiful beach dining setting, a young employee took 1-2 hours in the afternoon to prepare the most romantic table for us just at the beach. Insane. Bungalows very beautiful, some even with private pool.

such lovely staff. Idyllic location. stunning clean beach. the food is incredible. great chef from South Africa.

We had an amazing stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help, they made sure we had everything we needed. We left for a couple of nights for safari in Tanzania and on our return we had a late flight from Tanzania to Zanzibar - we found delicious food in our room and plenty of water and our luggages that were stored at the hotel were already in our room. Also the communication was very good, they arranged the shuttles for us and an early check in. Needless to say, the view from the room was amazing and we could hear the ocean at night. We definitely recommend Pongwe Beach Hotel, it’s a great choice!

Very relaxing and beautiful spot. The beach was perfect and the staff were fantastic.
