Family friendly Hotels in Nungwi

Meet the four-diamond level. The front desk is very enthusiastic. Remember my name. The sea is absolutely beautiful from 11 am to 2 pm! That is, the room is a bit small, the food is quite satisfactory, and the overall satisfaction is satisfactory!

The level of the staff Organisation is admirable, strict but fair considering the level of the service. I enjoyed the breakfast every single morning . The sky bar is just Woao with the saxophonist on Saturday night. Will be back l.

This was our first trip to Zanzibar and we were very much looking forward to a lovely stay and the pristine beaches we have heard so much about. First impression was poor welcome at the reception and smelly worn down rooms. The rooms took me back to my backpacking days 30 years ago. The atmosphere is that of a low budget charter trip. Not much we could do about the hotel which was prepaid, so we decided to make the best of our stay despite the place. But it just got worse. Worse service we’ve ever had, anywhere. - (argument about breakfast included in the booking which they wouldn’t give us - tried to kick us out a day early, before realizing it was their mistake, but never even said sorry - most miserable staff I’ve ever seen anywhere (understandably, having to work under that management). - toilet not working so we had to change room - 10USD deposit for beach towels - not possible to use the beach. Well, it’s possible but not at all inviting, with lots of traffic (local young boys) wandering up and down the beach making it a through road, lots of boats and sea urchins. At high tide the whole beach is under water (hence the beach is always wet during low tide) Luckily the on site PADI dive center (completely independent of the hotel) was fantastic. Every morning they took us out by boat to snorkel and dive. They saved our holiday and we had a great time. But we’ll never return to Zanzibar. If you’re looking for a pristine beach holiday, there are so many better places around the world.

The room layout is reasonable, clean and bright, two bottles of water are provided every day, the first floor is directly connected to the pool, the pool is clean and beautiful, breakfast is average, dinner can be booked in advance, the hotel is 500 meters from the sea

After much research, we settled on My Blue. It was the best decision! The compound was very well maintained, excellent service, spectacular views over the beach (especially from the infinity pool), easy access to the ocean, good food, nightly entertainment, good rooms and bed. The whole place is picture perfect and we loved eating with great views of the ocean! The main area they could improve on is their meals. There’s plenty of food options but not very much really good food. More like a mediocre buffet. There was, however, always varying stations with a chef that were nice additions like the pasta station, pad Thai, fried rice, open grill. Overall, this place is a gem for the price! We’ve already recommended it to friends and wouldn’t hesitate going back sometime with our kids!

The hotel is in a breezy location with quite nice rooms, simply furnished but our room needed some TLC. The cleaning was good, and the staff were friendly but the food was really rubbish. The food let this place down. Very African, many things not available, and the buffet was disappointing. At breakfast you could see what was fresh, usually one item each day whether mandado or croissant or a bread roll. Coffee was instant. The chef on the BBQ was burning and frying out the meat and seafood which upset me greatly. No wine choices, often only one or two types of beer. No ice one day. I started to going elsewhere to eat at the hotels nearby. There is no beach access at high tide, and be warned this is not a place for access for anyone with a disability as hard coral and urchins underfoot.

Location was great, if you look for a small authentic place to feel real charm of the tropical paradise. The view from the Ocean view Suite was amazing. White-sand beach with the ocean entrance was just in some steps down. Tides were calm enough and didn't make serious problems - you can swim smoothly most of the time. The room was clean. The hotel's restaurant was good and there were some ones around. The hotel's staff was extremley friendly and did their best. It was a real pleasure. Special thanks to Noela from the restaurant team - she is a stunning girl who does a great job. Despite the room we had (Ocean view Suite) was clean and was being well cleaned every day, it extremly requires rennovation. The most of furniture and room/bathroom equipment was very old, not properly working and must be changed. The beach life near the hotel was quite active and noisy with a ”fish market” at about 6am every morning where locals bought fish (in fact, it can be even interesting if you don't sleep) and with a DJ who worked at the restaurant next door. It was not an issue for us but can be a problem if you need silence.

This is a nice no frills hotel with great location. Staff are friendly especially Salah who will go out of his way to help guests with anything. The hotel has a wonderful garden with Dik Diks, Guinea Foul, a monkey, and probably a lot more. It’s like waking up in a jungle so serene and beautiful. The pool is also located in the Garden. Rooms are basic but clean bathrooms could be updated. A/C worked well and the rooms also have a ceiling fan. Breakfast at the restaurant is ok, it is a la carte not a buffet. We had lunch once at the restaurant and the food was great. Location is wonderful, lots to do and other places you can walk to. Overall a very good experience at this hotel.
