Hotels with Breakfast 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.

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 environment is okay, the hotel is right next to the beach, and the beach is very clean. The furniture and decoration in the room are a little bit old, and there will be power outages from time to time, but everything else is pretty good.

Beautiful boutique hotel with two pools and so many trees and plants you feel like in a small jungle. It takes approx. 3 min to get to the sea - you probably won’t swim in that area right away as the beach is not cleaned there, but after a short walk towards Nungwi direction, you’ll find plenty of sunbeds for a good price. At Maisha Nungwi, you can chill by the clean pool for a whole day if you are the pool person! Mind that Nungwi is not a resort area - you live next to the locals, you get to experience their live on the beach, pass the local school, etc. For us, this is what we were looking for and loved it. The turtle sanctuary is just next door - definitely go there, you’ll learn a lot and see majestic turtles. Please don’t swim with them if you have your sunscreen on.

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 a 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 into the room walls. The orientation of the bed is weird. I am an average height guy, 5’8”, and when I lie down to 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 d own” the room. Technically, spray some bug spray 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. Als

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.

We stayed at the Zanzibari Hotel in August 2024 and we made the best decision. What we really loved, is the location. The hotel is tucked away from all the noise providing tranquility and peace while it's still a walking distance to town and restaurants. At high tide, we enjoyed looking and listening to the crashing waves and at low tide, we enjoyed taking a stroll on the beach. Nestled along the stunning shores of Nungwi, this hotel combines the perfect blend of luxury, cultural authenticity, and warm hospitality. Accommodation: The rooms at The Zanzibari are tastefully designed, reflecting the local architecture and vibrant colors of Zanzibar. Our room was spacious, meticulously clean, and equipped with modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay for us. The private balcony provided breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, and we loved waking up to a stunning sunrise. Amenities: The hotel boasts an impressive range of amenities. We loved the infinity pool overlooking the ocean, which provided a serene space to unwind while soaking up the tropical sun. We also liked to have lunch at the tables by the pool or sit at the bar in the evening. Dining: The restaurant space looks luxury and we loved the bar made out of a huge old boat. The menu was great and chefs are dedicated to using fresh, local ingredients, and the menu offered delicious choices for everyone. Service: The Zanzibari staff was very attentive and friendly. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family and we were helped with any questions or requests we had. Conclusion: For those looking for a blend of relaxation, culture, and exceptional service, The Zanzibari Hotel is a perfect choice. It left us with lasting memories, and we can’t wait to return!

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!
