Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort
9.8 (64 reviews)

Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort ★★★★★

📍 Zanzibar, Pongwe

"⸻ ✨ “After the roar of the Serengeti, only one place could rise to the occasion: Tulia, the magical jewel of Zanzibar.” From the wild heart of the Serengeti to the serene shores of Zanzibar, Tulia welcomed us into a world of pure enchantment. Walking along the beach, surrounded by skies painted in magical colors, every step felt like poetry. The greetings of “Jambo jambo” and the heartfelt “Asante” reminded us that Hakuna Matata is not just a phrase here — it is a way of life. Tulia is a masterpiece of details: the sparkling pools, the lush tropical gardens, and above all the kindness, warmth, and privacy that make you feel at home in paradise. The most unforgettable gift was a romantic dinner prepared under the stars, with music, lights, and intimacy that turned the night into a memory we will treasure forever. ✨ And then, the hidden treasure: the gym. The most inspiring gym in the world — training here feels like luxury in motion, with nature all around and energy flowing like the ocean breeze. For us, fitness lovers, it was the ultimate dream. ️‍♀️ Tulia is not just a resort. It is magic, love, hospitality, and a sanctuary for the soul. Christophe and I will forever carry its beauty in our hearts. ❤️"

Pongwe Bay Resort

Pongwe Bay Resort ★★★★

📍 10 Pongwe Road, Pongwe, Pongwe

"Beautiful resort set right on the beach. Their club restaurant jets out in the sea. It was nice and windy when we went. We ordered lobster linguine , T bone steak, grilled octopus n grilled lobster. Everything was fine except for the lobster that was very dry . The staff need more training as half the table was not set properly. Also very forgetful bar staff. Overall it was a nice experience. We also had 2 pinacolados and a bottle of white wine and the bill came to $ 165, which is very reasonable"

Azao Resort & Spa
8.2 (17 reviews)

Azao Resort & Spa ★★★★

📍 Zanzibar, Pongwe

"I went with my family of 12 people to Azao Resort, the hotel was abserloutly beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The hotel had a lot of entertainment stuff, and the pools are huge. The staff was abserloutly amazing - so friendly , so helpful and very polite. The food (from breakfast, lunch & dinner) was so tasty, and food was plentiful. They even had a barbeque evening over looking the beach. They had 2 guys that's danced almost every night for dinner and had the crowd going. The rooms were very nice and clean. If you want a quiet, tranquil holiday, I will definitely recommend Azao to you. Thank you "

Karibu Beach Resort
8.8 (25 reviews)

Karibu Beach Resort ★★★★

📍 Unamed Road Plot No. 006967, Pongwe

"ROBBED WHILE ASLEEP IN ROOM AT NIGHT I stayed at Karibu Beach resort with my partner from 20 June 2025 to 24 June 2025. On 21 June 2025, or the early morning of 22 June 2025, burglars entered our room while we were asleep, stole our two laptops, two iphones, leather laptop bag, and gold jewellery. Our phones were on our beds, in between myself and my partner, so the burglars must have made their way onto the bed. We think the burglars burnt something, or otherwise dosed us, so that they could work their way through our room easily. It appears also that the burglars knew their away around the room, as they were able to move around quietly while in total dark. It is likely that the burglars were able to walk in and out of the hotel with our goods, and there seems to have been almost no security patrolling. The hotel alleges that the burglars somehow jumped the wall, but this seems implausible. It is a high wall, and there were no discernible marks left on the wall in the morning. The hotel did not show us the video footage. Strangely, they found our keys immediately outside the front entrance. The hotel assured us that they would reimburse the value of our goods. However, less than an hour before we were due to depart, they said they would only give us a fraction of the value, and accused us of dishonesty about the items stolen. This was clearly false. We had provided proof of the devices stolen. The hotel also demanded that we sign a non-disclosure agreement. We did not understand on what basis the hotel could try hold us hostage in this way. We said we would not sign the NDA, particularly for the amount offered, and suggested we settle for a different figure (still less than the total value of our goods). They refused and said they would now provide us with nothing."

Pongwe Beach Hotel
9.5 (50 reviews)

Pongwe Beach Hotel ★★★

📍 Pongwe Beach, Pongwe

"After doing a safari in Tanzania, we were so looking forward to our stay at Pongwe Beach hotel. It did not disappoint, it is a beautiful and peaceful beach hotel and we had a very comfortable beach side room. The staff were extremely attentive and made a real fuss of me on my special birthday. The views across to the turquoise sea from the infinity pool were stunning. We spent a lot of time on the beach too and it was incredible to see how the landscape changed with the tide. We enjoyed walking along the beach looking for shells and loved watching the crabs and starfish. If you want to get away from it all, relax and eat excellent food, this hotel will give you all that and more. You have to get up for the sunrise - it's so worth it!"

Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort ★★★★★
"Tulia saved our Zanzibar experience and honeymoon after checking out of our previous hotel early. We were picked up and taken to a perfect paradise. Our bungalow was immaculate and everything had been thought of. A fully stocked mini bar which was complimentary and replaced daily, and room service at no extra cost. The bath is stunning and looks out over the ocean. The sun loungers on our patio was so comfy and the amenities in the room and on the decking are top quality. The resort is beautiful and we loved how sustainable it is: growing their own produce and filtering the water to be drinkable. They also have their own chicken and ducks for eggs! The staff go above and beyond and are an asset to the resort. We wanted for nothing and nothing felt like a hardship to them. The staff a clearly happy to be there. The food is top quality with a large range of options for a dietary needs. The pool is spacious, clean and the whole resort feels intimate even though it was at capacity. We highly recommend an afternoon on the water slides- what a touch! The staff were aware that we had left our previous hotel and it was our honeymoon. On our final night they surprised us with a private dinner in the beautiful gardens with our own waitress and music which was nothing but spectacular. Our only regret is that we didn’t go straight there to have more time in this very special place. Thank you so much Tulia!"

Pongwe Bay Resort ★★★★
"Small and perfectly formed. My husband and I stayed for 10 days in June and had a fabulous time. Gardens and pool area are stunning and immaculately maintained. The Club jetty is a lovely recent addition giving an additional bar and restaurant. The staff are genuinely friendly and can’t do enough for you. If you’re looking for a boutique hotel for a relaxing stay, I’d recommend Pongwe Bay Resort to anyone."

Moayana Liora Zanzibar ★★★
"Our stay at Moayana Liora was absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations. The food was truly exceptional – everything was homemade, fresh, and sourced from local farms, giving every meal a unique and authentic flavor. We greatly appreciated the friendly and attentive staff, as well as the wonderful owners, who genuinely care for their guests and create a warm, family-like atmosphere. The hotel is located in a beautiful, peaceful spot away from the large resorts, perfect for those who don’t want to be typical tourists confined to a resort but want to experience a more authentic vacation. The beach is calm and free from constant souvenir vendors, allowing you to fully relax. We wholeheartedly recommend Moayana Liora to anyone seeking peace, tranquility, and a personal touch."
