We had an incredible stay at TOA Hotel & Spa. The staff were truly exceptional—warm, attentive, and always going the extra mile to make us feel at home. From the front desk to the restaurant team, everyone treated us with genuine kindness and care. Special mention to Esther who made our stay extra special with room upgrade and a massage. Special mention to Cecilia who made our wedding anniversary celebration extra special! I could go on, honestly every staff members we came across was welcoming, supportive and always greet with a smile! The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented at every meal. We especially loved the themed dinners and beachside dining experiences. If you are a seafood lover, you’ll be in heaven ❤️. Their salads variety were a delight especially the plantain salad omg! The hotel is also very child-friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable as a family. We left feeling relaxed, well cared for, and already planning our return with more members of the family and friends!

The place is more than wonderful, very beautiful and peaceful. If you're a fan of getaways, this place is for you - a quiet place where you can enjoy sunrise and the sound of the sea at night's calm. The hotel is beautiful in terms of services, cleanliness, decor, and the staff are all amazing from reception to restaurant staff and security. They truly treat you not as a visitor but as one of them with wide smiles and very classy behavior. The only negative thing about this place is that they need to improve the quality and type of food a bit. Around the place, there aren't many restaurants or activities. If you're looking for a fun and lively atmosphere, this place isn't for you, but if you're looking for peace and relaxation, it's your place.

    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.

    Absolutely wonderful place! Resort is better than photos and the staff are the best ever. Cannot fault anything about the place. The weather was not the best for a couple of days but still had a fabulous stay. Breakfast is excellent with amazing fresh fruit and plenty of other choice. Ate at the jetty restaurant a couple of times which was good. All in all a stunning and lovely place to stay. Thankyou to all at Pongwe Bay!!
