Frank and the entire staff were wonderful and made our stay extra special from start to finish, from the room presentation to a special dinner at the end of our trip and fresh flowers to celebrate our new marriage at every meal. The location is lovely, quiet and clean. You feel like you’re transported to a different world when you’re on the island. The food every night was out of this world, with dinners particularly spectacular with fresh seafood including lobster and crab. This place left a warm feeling in our hearts - we would recommend it, highly! ##### Scott Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luci Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything was perfect!

Saimme alusta loppuun loistavaa palvelua ja saimme myös upgraden sviittiin, koska se sattui olemaan vapaana. Ruoka erinomaista (parasta ruokaa zanzibarilla) sekä aamupalalla että illallisella ja sitä pystyi tilaamaan myös omaan villaan ja omalle terassille. Saarelta pääsee helposti mereen uimaan nousuveden aikaan ja aktiviteetteja/retkiä myös kohtuullisesti tarjolla. Ehkä ennemmin kuitenkin saari sopii rentoutumiseen ja rauhalliseen oleiluun. Ekologisuus on huomioitu kaikessa ja saarella ja villoissa on niin kaunista, kaikki tarkkaan mietittyä. Ainoa miinus ilmastoinnin puuttuminen, jonka toki tiesimme etukäteen. Saari on kuitenkin niin rauhallinen (vain 6 villaa ja ravintola sulkeutuu klo 22), että pystyimme hyvin nukkumaan ikkunat auki (hyttysverkot löytyy ikkunoista), jolloin merituuli viilensi huoneilmaa. Saarella voi nähdä myös bush babies apinoita iltaisin ja saarella muutama ystävällinen koira ja kissa vieraiden seurana. Täydellinen loma! ##### Ossi Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia Yessica Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente hotel muy recomendable Increíble hotel en la isla, vistas espectaculares, puestas y salidas del sol son lo mejor; el personal muy amable y la comida súper deliciosa, lo recomiendo muchísimo!!

From beginning to end everything was really perfect. The staff was very accommodating and friendly at all times. The manager is very knowledgeable and really strives to make her guests stay a special experience. The restaurant offers a variety of choices and the food was very nicely prepared and tasty as well. The island itself offers a great ambience and you feel comfortable from the first moment. The bungalows as well as the entire complex convey a vacation feeling that we have not experienced in other hotels. We would definitely recommend the Island! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karine Jun 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Avis Mitigé Restaurant au top.

Pas de WiFi dans les chambres. ##### Karine Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ditlev Sep 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A litle paradise Perfect place for our honeymoon.

This little gem of an island is one of a kind. Around 6 bangalows, beautifully decorated and clean. Environment friendly plastic free and with recyclable products. The food is outstanding. Their onsite restaurant serves delicious pasta and other seafood dishes as well as delicious breakfasts. The staff is super friendly and professional. Vaileth served us most of the times and she was the best. Always happy and making sure we were satisfied with food and service. The managers Amine and his wife Margo are running this little paradise to perfection. Dont hesitate to book, if you can make it to Pongwe, the Island is a must. ##### Donatello Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Enio Massimo Feb 23, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Una full immersion nella marea Approdati dopo un faticoso safari in Tanzania per cui ci siamo veramente goduti la struttura per tutti i 5 giorni del ns soggiorno. Solo 5 camere, pied dans l' eau, che 2 volte al giorno si ritira e poi ritorna trasformando lo scoglio in un' isola. Letteralmente immersi in questo spettacolo magico e misterioso della natura. Personale gentilissimo (un grazie particolare a Violet e Juma). Cibo squisito. Che altro dire? Altamente consigliato. ##### Enio Massimo Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stein-Erik Jan 23, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A good choice. Beautiful location. Friendly staff. Good food. Not the best for swimming. ##### Stein-Erik Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Enrico Aug 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Paradise everything in our stay at The Island was Perfect. The room, simple but cozy, with our private patio (remember to have breakfast served on the patio!!!) overlooking the ocean and our private sun beds. The surroundings, with the sea weed farms and the sandbanks emerging with the low tide. The staff, effective and always with a smile. The food, superlative (seafood mixed grill and sea urchins a must try!). We had to leave but we left our heart there! Strongly recommended!!!!! ##### Enrico Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bhumika Jan 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nothing but Positive Vibes The island is chock-full if friendly and comforting staff members which truly elevate the unique experience provided by the island itself. The villas were extremely clean and we didn’t even encounter one big inside ours. The pool was a nice addition and just walking around being surrounded by palms, turquoise waters and silence was as breathtaking as it gets. To add to all this - THE FOOD was extraordinary. Hats off to the chef. We had 4 meals here within 24 hours time and loved each one! Thank you to all the staff that make the island an incredible place to stay. ##### Bhumika Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Pauline Jun 18, 2022 ##### Pauline Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean-Baptiste Jul 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jean-Baptiste Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alessandra Oct 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### alessandra Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Africa Safari Selous](https://www.expedia.ca/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Selous.h8446485.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Bluebay-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1867044.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Sunrise-Beach-Resort.h16382901.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fort Saskatchewan](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Saskatchewan-Hotels.d6023601.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandos Playacar All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Sandos-Playacar-All-Inclusive.h892167.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hinton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinton-Hotels.d180429.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kenora](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenora-Hotels.d6127353.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d602721.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Emerald Bay - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Mazatlan-Hotels-Riu-Emerald-Bay-All-Inclusive.h2461537.Hotel-Information) > > [Brubru Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Melia Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Gran-Melia-Arusha.h34865479.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/phx/vancouver-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Fort Myers (RSW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/rsw/detroit-to-fort-myers) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yhz/calgary-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ath/toronto-to-athens) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Quebec-City.d180017.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Alaska](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Alaska.d203.Travel-Guide-Cruise)
