Don't hesitate to book this hotel wether you are a couple or travelling with children... If you like to be somewhere: that is more authentic than fancy, where you can walk and be barefoot on the whole property, where you are surrounded by a team that is kind and modest - clearly trying to give you the best experience possible. The room exceeded our expectations, way better than the photos would suggest. The new restaurant & bar: "The Club" is magical. Hope to be back soon.

The cottage rooms are exceptionally good value for Zanzibar - they are spacious, right on the beach and incredibly private. The food is good and the beach is quiet without beach boys which is a huge plus.

The beachfront location is nice. Feels very secluded, which was a welcome respite. Most of the staff were welcoming and the food / entertainment was enjoyable. We also really enjoyed the massage!

This resort seems as if it’s brand new; every detail has been considered. The staff is stellar, going out of their way to make you feel welcome. The included breakfast is delicious and you are Literally steps from the beach.
I had a partial ocean view room and was upgraded for my last two nights- both rooms were great but the ocean view, which was visible from the bed, was great.
It’s a fantastic getaway location.

Pongwe is an isolated beach, at low tide the sea is very far away and, even at high tide, it is very shallow - you cannot swim. Kiwengwa beach, next door (10 minutes by car) is much better, more lively, with many shops and good hotels.

There is not much to do in the local area other than visit other hotel resorts. We did visit a local school to make a donation and I would advise bringing something with you to donate e.g notebooks, sweets, money

Small remote holiday village with the white sand beach but not having good beach maintenance (seaweed, some dirt on the beach). Little bit far from anything in Zanzibar (far from Stone city and airport, far from spectacular Nungwi and Paje beach). No bars, restaurants, shops and infrastructure outside the holiday resort due to remote location and low density of tourists.

At first sight you can say....what to do here ?....no shops, just some local fruits selling points, no crowded areas, less traffic than anywhere but more nature than anywhere around. It's exactly the opposite comparing with Paje. If you need a quiet, family friendly, uncrowded spot.....ask for Pongwe. And if you want to understand why I'm saying these....just go on Pongwe beach when low tide is there.

I did not visit Pongwe town.
I did not visit Pongwe town. I stayed in a luxury boutique hotel north of the town as I like a quiet holiday. The only problem was the tide leaving an unattractive expanse of muddy rocks. The hotel's pontoon helped with access to the sea when the tide was high.

The accommodation and restaurant in Weavers Lodge was outstanding and the beach was idyllic. The tide tends to be out until about 3pm (July/Aug stay) and there are some sharp rocks - if your feet are particularly fragile, water shoes are a good idea. We cycled to the next village - an enjoyable afternoon trip. Very friendly locals.
I have stayed at 4 different resorts in Zanzibar and this was by far the best resort. The rooms were clean, the food was delicious and most importantly the staff was great. I stayed there with my wife and baby and everyone was always helpful . A big thank you to Ahmed and the other waiters in the restaurant, it was a pleasure. Also, a big thank you to Adela the manager for making our stay very enjoyable. I would strongly recommend this resort to anyone looking to relax in Zanzibar.
Everything was perfect. The Hotel and its facilities are amazing. The room was perfect. The staff were absolutely wonderful! We informed them that we were visiting Zanzibar on our honeymoon and they made sure that we had a memorable stay with them. From the room decorations, to the delicious food and great hospitality of the staff; everything was perfect. Special thanks to Chef Mubarak, Janeth and Esta :)
I love everything about this oasis in Pongwe.
The very Kind staff, the swimming pool, the food, thé room, the hoooot water and the vibes. I will go back there as soon as possible. Thé beach Is only 1 min walk From the hôtel but there is a lot of sea Grass. I enjoyed thé wonderful sunset over there. You can enjoy the beach in Kikwenga, only 5-10min away by boda boda (moto taxi).
Very nice little paradise right by the quiet Pongwe beaches! The rooms are comfy, clean with all necessary amenities. The gardens and communal areas are well organised and beautiful.
Clean pool and the staff are very friendly.
The food in the restaurant is very delicious with lots of variety and the prices are fair.
The best place we stayed in Zanzibar. The beach front location and space was amazing. It has a very friendly and relaxed feel.
The staff, however, make the place! they were so warm, engaging and we loved our evenings at the bar with the owners and barman chatting away.
It felt more than just a hotel.
Pongwe Bay Resort is cozy, with cute traditional hits, but with all amenities. The pool in the center meets the needs for refreshing the bodies and meet other guests. Breakfast is great with amazing service. The owner was very attentive to all guests during the day and the organized evening events.
It is a new hotel, with clean spacious rooms and a spacious shower. The room has international plugs and USB ports. The prawn curry was delicious. It has a beautiful beach, and I enjoyed the cool music by the pool during the day. Rama, the airport transfer driver was on time and professional.
The hotel is new, super clean and comfortable. Beautiful beach setting and lovey facilities. Rooms are stylishly decorated and the hotel grounds leafy and green. I spent 4 nights here with my family over new year and we had a great time. Staff are all really helpful, friendly and accommodating.
million thanks to Petra, the most dedicated and helpful I’ve ever met !
Tulia is a perfect place to stay in their, I loved their pool and the water slides is brilliant! my kids was suggesting to stay in the hotel for good and was always asking to leave it !
Very private and calm, clean beach and total security. Staff were amazing and very respectful. We did 4 hotels during our stay and this is the best in this range, private beach where you can swim without sea ursins and not bothered by too many beach boys
Our stay couldn’t get any smoother, hotel is cozy and clean, there is no crowd and no stress! Great place to relax, authentic pool, friendly staff, Frank showed us around and was very professional and always in a good mood -)
We stayed at the hotel for a week. Very beautiful little hotel. Newly renovated. Spotless clean. Nice and quiet. Staff very attentative and kind. Delicious breakfast. Great cocktails. We got free upgrade the two last days.
My wife and I love water entertainment and being there off-season (we were just two couples!) allowed us to enjoy it to the fullest, as we like it, with the full and very discreet support of the hotel staff.
Wonderful staff. A small and cozy hotel. They made any efforts to address our requests. Nice pool with sweet water and lovely rooms. They have water sports and nice restaurant deep into the sea
It was really nice
And they have a driver called Mousa he was wonderful incase anyone wants to go around zanzibar definitely take Mousa as your driver asanteni sana
