great place right on the beach
We were very happy that we chose to stay here on our recent trip. The hotel is right on the beach and all the staff could not be more helpful, accommodating and welcoming. It was very nice also that the General Manager (Julie) personally welcomed us and took an interest throughout our stay in ensuring that we were happy with everything. We were on a bed and breakfast basis which suited us perfectly, we ate both in the Hotel and local area and can recommend both. All in all a very nice place to stay in Nungwi.

It is the best hotel in Nungwi! (We’ve visited a few other ones for dinners) great food, rooms are spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The swimming pool is great with a view of the beach and staff is super friendly. Great view of the beach from the breakfast restaurant which makes a wonderful start of the day!

Understated touch of luxury in superb position
Went here on a friend’s recommendation and was so glad we did. A little above our normal budget but definitely worth the extra -especially in Africa where the attention to detail is not always there. We found the staff to be a real asset - friendly and available and quick to respond. The beds were super comfy with down pillows, the shower reliable (a big thing, honestly!) and good attention to detail. We ate in the restaurant three is the four nights as in the one night we ventured out we were off colour the next day. The menu is varied with excellent fish, of course, and the portions are generous. I would probably take the dinner inclusive option next time. The infinity pool is well placed to observe the beach and there are beds on a small private section of the sand. Although the whole island has many beach boys I was not really bothered by them whilst sticking to this area and they are all good humoured in any case. The well designed gardens were almost manicured and the paths etc regularly cleaned We organised a snorkelling/lunch trip on a dhow which was a great experience for $45 for two. We also took some dictionaries, pencils and a donation for the local school which the hotel helped us with - they were really pleased with thesaurus if you’ve got a few spare kgs in your luggage!

The location is great and the staff is very nice and helpful. The restaurants and the food are amazing. Just to say something "negative" the access road to the hotel is not in a very good condition and it doesn't make it very easy to drive in and out specially if you self-drive like we did. Other than that is a fantastic place to stay! Highly recommended!

Destination Hotel!!!
The Z hotel is a MUST! out of all the hotels we visited in Zanzibar, this is the only one we would return to. Everything was just perfect, rooms were immaculate, attention to detail and decor was out of this world. Thank you to the GM and her team, they were wonderful, helpful and did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The pool area is so relaxing and clean. The beach is great for swims, and security ensures you do not get harassed by beach boys. We will be back

Located on a nice section of beach. Nice facilities. Good restaurants. The room was cheery, with nice little decorative touches every day. The ONLY thing was that the pool just a bit too warm to feel refreshing during the warm afternoons.
