Beach Hotels in Nungwi

Very good resort. Facilities are top quality and well-maintained. Food was very yummy, although breakfast could offer more variety for a 5-star hotel (e.g. there was no smoked salmon for breakfast - I consider salmon to be standard at 5-star hotels catering to international clientele). Staff are well-trained and very professional. The resort also offers spa services as well as tour bookings, but we did not avail of these. For our travel dates the all-inclusive package on trip.com was by far the best value for money compared to booking directly or through any other website. One potential area for improvement is the provision of a mini rack on the balcony/veranda where guests can hang up wet clothes after a tour - would be a nice thing, which I've seen at some other resorts, as some guests just want their clothes to dry, not necessarily washed.

We stayed here for 8 days. The property is aging and trying to maintain its charm. The staff are generally friendly and trying to elevate the guest experience. However, our stay was less than stellar missing the mark for what we have come to expect at a Hilton property. The beach vendors are extremely aggressive and not deterred by the security, several bartenders are working deals to reduce bar tabs in favor of their personal tips, and hot water in the shower was unreliable - varied morning to evening with no determined pattern or schedule. The menu at the property was also a disappointment. It was the same menu at the various places to order food, and the supply chain seemed to suffer while we were there and menu items became unavailable while the remaining food quality diminished daily over the course of our stay. We actually opted to leave the property and eat elsewhere toward the end of the week. Beyond these issues, the lack of ability for the property staff to provide change was a constant issue. Everything on the property is tip based and local ATM and banks only distribute larger bills in local currency. This limits our desire to tip, or leave us overtipping with the available bills we could acquire. The property seemed to have no ability or desire to assist us as guests, just hoping we would use larger bills. Overall, we are disappointed with Hilton and would not recommend to stay at this property.

Initially, locating Maisha Nungwi posed a small challenge, as it's sometimes confused with its previous name. However, the check-in process was remarkably smooth, and we were pleasantly surprised to access our rooms earlier than anticipated. One hiccup during check-in was the government tax requirement, which at $4 per person per night, can add up for families staying a week. Nevertheless, the staff graciously assisted with our luggage and ushered us to our room, adorned with delightful floral decorations. Daily room service ensured cleanliness, though the limited hot water supply might inconvenience some guests, albeit it didn't bother me much. The culinary experience, unfortunately, was underwhelming. Despite fresh fruit and juice at breakfast, the lack of seasoning and the malfunctioning salt and pepper shakers were disappointing. The repetitive menu may prompt guests to explore dining options beyond the hotel. On the bright side, Maisha Nungwi boasts aesthetically pleasing surroundings and excellent amenities, including two pools and a commendable massage service. The friendly and accommodating staff further enhanced our stay. However, the hotel's feline inhabitants, while adorable, can be intrusive, often interrupting meals by jumping on tables or chairs. In conclusion, Maisha Nungwi is more suited to adults seeking exploration beyond the hotel's dining options. For those willing to venture out and discover local eateries, this hotel offers a pleasant stay with comfortable accommodations and attentive staff.

The location of the hotel is very good, in the core area of tourism, there are various sea sports, and the white sandy beach is particularly beautiful The ecological environment is very good. You can see all kinds of marine life when you catch the sea. I even saw a family of sea anemones and clownfish. The disadvantage is that the room is relatively small and the facilities are relatively simple It should be noted that we found the legendary man-of-war jellyfish on the beach, so be careful not to step on it

Stayed @ Smiles Beach Hotel for 3 nights, 4 days. Meal plan was Half board (Breakfast & Dinner). Road Access The road to the hotel starts off ok, but towards the middle has HUGE pot holes and after rain it’s completely filled up with mud. The driver has to move very slowly to avoid any damage to the car. On arrival On arrival we were greeted warmly with a nice cold drink, check in was quick and we were taken to our rooms. We booked 2 rooms. Both were located upstairs but not in the same building. To get to the rooms we have to climb a spiral staircase. Rooms The upper floor has 2 rooms side by side. The room door is a split door with a sliding lock and a padlock. There were a few outdoor furniture in the balcony area. The room itself looked very clean and smelled clean. Coffee & tea station, LCD TV, Mini Fridge, Safety deposit box. The bed is built in to the room. The orientation of the bed is wired. I am an average height guy, 5’8”, and when I lie down t sleep, from my ankle down is off the bed. But if the bed was orientated the other way, there would be more than enough room. The rooms are old and needs some TLC, ceiling is wood and black dirt keeps falling from the cracks. We were told that the room service will come over around 7.30 at every night to “turn down” the room. Technically, spray some bug spay outside the room door and setup the mosquito nets. From our 3 nights, this happened only on the last day. That too, the net had a 1cm hole. Bathroom Pretty large bathroom, basic toiletries available (No body lotion or dental kit). The toilets are clean. The sink is a little on the high side. If there are children, it’s a bit hard to reach to brush teeth etc. Garden, pool and private beach front Garden is kept very neat and tidy. We saw a gardener every morning sweeping the grounds. Pool is clean. The tiles on the outside of the pool were cracked and need to be careful while walking. Especially with bare feet. Private beach front is nice and clean. Its, on a higher elevation so you get a nice view. Hawkers and Masai beach boys The are friendly, but can become a bit annoying after some time. So best advice is to be polite, say no thank you. (they are not allowed in the private beach area) Food & Restaurant Breakfast was not bad, it’s a buffet style menu and had a decent variety, each morning something different. Sometimes in the morning there a few flies around and will hover over the fresh fruit. Dinner was a la carte menu and different for each day as well. The downside is that the food quality drops when they have more occupancy. The biggest issue we had was the meal service times. We had to wait almost 1 hour between entree and main and another 45 min for dessert. This was the case every day. There are few felines (cats) inside the restaurant premises. They roam freely and sometimes come and rub themselves on your legs. There were a few other guests that were not very comfortable with this. Also note thi

Not bad, breakfast is not good

Perfect week, not having many bookings we had a free upgrade of our room, in front of the sea view beach, wonderful! The staff is super nice and available, manager Cyrus also organized a surprise dinner on the beach for us, very pleasant! The sea in front of the resort is amazing, subject to the phenomenon of the floods, often so it is difficult to bath, but walking along the sand languages that emerge the landscape is crazy! For the tours you can book on site with a local tour operator, Abdul is taking care of it, who has satisfied us in every request, also organizing private tours in such a way that they are free to decide on movements and timetables, It was nice and fun to spend time together! The position of Tanzanite is good, walking out c is a few steps the Baraka aquarium where you can notice with the turtles, and 10 minutes drive c is nunungwi beach, adding another 10 minutes you get to kendwa that are two of the most beautiful beaches of Zanzibar.

My Blue Hotel is very beautiful and clean. The pool is the absolute highlight. From the pool you can enjoy the sunset super. At the beach there were always many free beds so you had a choice of place at any time. The staff distributed cocoa nuts on the beach daily. The staff is very friendly, food delicious and fresh, the evening program was varied, a very clean hotel. We would recommend it to everyone further. The location and the beach are superb. The hotel offers massages at a good price. We enjoyed the holiday in full trains. The internet was usually bad, however. In the room, there was little reception. This has potential for improvement.
