Ngalawa Hotel & Resort

A superb 15-day stay with my two children (3 and 6 years old) and my friend and her two children too. Attentive staff, spacious rooms, very well maintained. Magnificent swimming pools. A clean hotel, maintained every day! I highly recommend it: as a couple, with family, with friends ;-)

Nice hotel with a large area. But when my friend and I were checked into a room with one double bed in the entire room, we were shocked! Toilet with bathtub without door. It was evening, we were tired and fell asleep. The next day, after a wonderful breakfast, we asked to change the room, since we had booked Deluxe, the hotel staff asked for an additional payment of $500. For us, this was unacceptable. and contacted the travel agent, and he, in turn, contacted the tour operator. We paid only $25 extra for the tour and were given a huge room with a balcony overlooking the garden. The area is large, two swimming pools. Responsive staff. Delicious breakfasts. In the evenings the room is treated for mosquitoes and flies. We went to the local market, bought seafood, and local chefs prepared it right there, very tasty. You won't go hungry; there are shops in the villages nearby. Our hotel did not have a good beach. Every day we went to the beautiful and fabulous beaches of Nungwi, Kengwu, Page and Jambiane and of course visited the fabulous island of Nakupenda, swam with dolphins - it’s MAGIC. The nature of Zanzibar is beautiful - azure ocean, white sand, flowers and palm trees. We will remember all this for a long time. People are open, smiling and friendly, although they are very poor and this does not at all prevent them from being happy. "Hakuna matata!" they keep saying (no problem) I really liked Zanzibar! I recommend!
