Pongwe Beach Hotel is embedded in a beautiful tropical garden and situated right at the beach. We‘ve loved its secluded location, the beach is not accessible during high tide and that means that you don‘t get bothered by beach boys as much (rarely ever, to be honest). We‘ve had a beach front room that was literally a stone‘s throw away from the beach, it couldn‘t have been any more convenient! The room was spacious and spotless, also our 14yr old daughter had a full single bed to use. The turn down service in the evening is something you don‘t usually see in that category, so we were pleasantly surprised. Another nice touch is the option to order early morning coffee / tea, that gets quietly delivered to your terrace from 07:00 am onwards, so as an early bird you can enjoy your first cup of coffee on the daybed of your room terrace and enjoy the wonderful beach view whilst others are still sleeping. We‘ve booked half board and were not disappointed - the menu was very diverse, each day you could choose between meat / fish / vegetarian options for your main course. There‘s a buffet twice a week as well, plus evening entertainment on 2 days, we‘ve enjoyed both very much! The staff is most welcoming and attentive, no matter if housekeeping, restaurant, reception….as a guest you feel your presence is appreciated and every wish is taken care of. I usually never book 3-star hotels, but with this one got tempted because of its exceptional reviews - and they are all true, so can highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!

I have travelled quite widely and this truly is my favourite place in the world! The location is superb and was so quiet, no tourists to be seen at all! Sabina and Miss was amazing and looked after me so very well. The food is fabulous and the cocktails too. Solomon the owner is super too. I could not have been happier in this extraordinary beautiful place. I would without doubt come again! I even made my first Tik Tok film to show everyone Santa Maria Coral Park definitely the epitome of Hakuna Matata

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.

TOA is a truly wonderful hotel. Our room was just a step from the white sands of the gorgeous beach. We stayed on a half board basis and the abundant buffet was absolutely delicious. We joined in some of the activities such as aquagym (great fun!) and village visit (fascinating!). Special mention to the superb staff, especially Mwana (entertainment), Ester (front desk) and Alex (rooftop bar), all of whom went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. A 5 star experience which we have been recommending to everyone.

This hotel is simply amazing! It’s incredibly clean, the staff is beyond friendly, and they make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The food is always fresh, healthy, and offers a great variety—there’s something delicious for everyone. The highlight? Coco, the playful little monkey who brings so much joy! Watching him all day adds a unique charm to this already perfect place. If you’re looking for the best stay in Zanzibar, this is it. I can’t wait to come back!

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!!
