I’ve stayed in many beachfront and boutique hotels in Zanzibar, but this place is truly a hidden gem. It offers great value for money, and the staff is exceptionally flexible and welcoming. The hotel features two restaurants, one of which is located on a pier, providing an amazing dining experience with ocean views. The food quality exceeds expectations, especially compared to other hotels in the same category. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and well-designed, with large balconies where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. The peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect place to unwind and escape the noise of daily life. As a bonus, the hotel even has a tropical beachside gym, which is a rare find in Zanzibar. Highly recommended for those seeking a balance of comfort, nature, and great hospitality!

It has been my second stay at Santa, but for sure not the last one. The place is amazing for relaxation and experiencing the lazy, beach holiday at a true paradise. Santa Maria makes you feel like home, and the staff - like the part of their family. In particular, special credit to Sarah, Jeni and Musa for how they made us feel very welcome at all times. Along with the rest of the staff, they're making Santa a place you will be eagerly coming back to. Also, the food is delicious! They have one of the best octopus I have ever had.

Amazing location with the resort overseeing the beach just a few steps below. Clean picturesque sea view with mild low and high tides. The resort offers kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment, spa and gym, choice of different massages and yoga sessions, all top notch. The staff (management to cleaning service personnell) is super-friendly, helpful and fulfílls all your wishes. The chef is a class of his own and it comes as a surprise Tulia restaurant does not have a Michelin star yet. Several interesting guided or ungiuded tours outside of the resort complete the experience. All in all, a really unique, amazing stay. Thank you!

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.

Fabulous small hotel with 80 or so bedrooms. Rooms very well appointed as the hotel is very new (built in 2023). Staff incredibly helpful and polite especially the bar staff with Prince getting a special mention. Nothing was too much trouble and we were always greeted with a smile. Food was great with a varied choice every day. We had a fantastic holiday and thoroughly recommend this hotel. Beach nice and sea was incredibly warm when we were there although a lot of seaweed around.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, this hotel was perfect. From the welcoming staff, stunning sea view room, all the small touches: wine on arrival, massages included, paddle boarding the yoga just everything was simply amazing. John at the bar was the best and the lady who done guest relations was incredible she catered to our late check out and even offered us take away breakfast when she knew we had an early safari day - all very special
