"I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this hotel owner.

To make matters worse, we were left at the airport without any transportation arranged, despite this being part of what was discussed. Since then, the owner has ignored our messages and refused to respond or take responsibility. This felt unprofessional,...

Top Nungwi Beach Hotel Reviews

Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great room and attentative staff. Highly recommend."

Cocolala Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Cocolala was a fantastic stay! Sebastian and his team were extremely helpful and made everything very easy. We were able to book our snorkeling and transport through the hotel, enjoy a tasty breakfast each morning and being a one minute walk to the beach was great!"

Smiles Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a amazing hotel with great views and amazing staff who really took care of us. Its muslim friendly and in a great location food was amazing aswel. Its beach front and a masjid very close easy to go on excursion from here to all around the island. Allowed us to check out a little later with no extra cost. Also would recommend upper floor for views. Very very beautiful stay and amazing views i would definitely come back and hightly recommend it"

Double A Nungwi Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is on the beach it has a beautiful view. The staffs are great they have amazing hospitality. The breakfast has very little options. The restaurant food is good."

Amaan Beach Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right on the water. Very well priced for a great experience in Nungwi. Nothing bad to say about the place. Beds are pretty firm, but thsts pretty standard for Zanzibar and most Southern African places (that are not 5 stars and super expensive). Would definitely come back again"

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"

Amazing Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice stay at Amazing beach hotel! Staff are exceptional and made the experience much more enjoyable for me and my family. Property kept well. Perfect for solo travelers but even for a small family. Restaurants very close with good food. Waking up to the view of the beach was incredible. Highly recommend, I would definitely return myself! A+👌 ⚠️ A word of warning the Property only accept cash, so you will have to pay for your stay at the reception, not through Expedia or any other booking site. There was abit of confusion when I arrived and I had to pay again in cash but currently waiting for a refund from expedia, so it all worked out. Just letting you know to avoid this happening to someone else. ⚠️"

Zenobia Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"I had an amazing stay at Zenobia Beach Resort. The service was excellent, and everyone was so kind and welcoming from the moment | arrived. The resort is right on the beach with a beautiful view, and the à la carte breakfast was a great start to each day. Glory, the hotel manager, was wonderful and made sure everything ran smoothly. I also want to mention Ali, our tour guide, was friendly and made my experience even better. My only complaint is it had bad water pressure"
