Well trained and friendly staff, great management, friendly atmosphere. The two pool and the garden are amazing, tasty fresh breakfast. Comfortable room, hot tube in the terrace is the best idea in the whole island. Small hotel but way better than any big resorts in the island

We had an amazing stay at Aluna. It's a perfect location if you're looking for somewhere a bit quieter and more relaxing in Nungwi, but still very walkable along the beach to bars and restaurants. The room was a great size, comfortable and good air conditioning, and the food at both the hotel restaurant and the beach club was exceptional. Plus the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming too. Highly recommend staying here!

Aluna is a beautiful property surrounded by lush tropical plants and trees. With 2 pools and ample sunbeds it was a very relaxing stay for us. Our lodge type room was lovely but we would have liked a fridge in the room. The beach was just a short walk away but the road outside the hotel that lead to the beach bar could have been better with some lighting. The breakfast was very nice but we thought the days when it was buffet style rather than a la carte was a much better idea. We had a massage during our stay which was very good and great value for money. All the staff were excellent and so helpful. We would definitely recommend Aluna.

The place is so peaceful and so beautiful. The restaurant on the beach was clearly one of the best tried in Zanzibar. Special mention for the staff, that was the kindest people we meet. Everyone was so nice. I totally recommend the hotel !

I loved my stay at Aluna Nungwi. The staff was so helpful, welcoming and amazing. The room and pool was perfect for relaxing. The food was great- both at the restaurant at the hotel and the one on the beach. Just be aware the beach near the hotel isn’t the best but you can arrange a Tuk tuk to Nungwi. For me I loved just hanging by the pool and getting massages (which were the best!)

Terrible experience. Had booked a 2 night stay ans changed it to 1 night because of how bad it was. First they got our booking wrong and then made us run around to sort it out, with not a single care in the world. Secondly, there was no power for over 12 hours! We were promised a refund and a discount for the first night- However we were charged the full initial amount, for an experience that wasn’t worth even half the price. Extremely disappointed.

The accommodation is excellent, if you want something cozy and private. The conditions were very good, if you take into account the location. There were some small flaws here and there, but they were all minor. The biggest downsite is the fact that it's not on the beach but 2 minutes away from one. For us this was more than acceptable

Overall the resort is lovely. All staff are just fabulous and the grounds are very well kept. The room was very spacious. The only reason for 4 stars was the power issue. I know it wasn’t the fault of the resort but we had no power at night not even to run the fan or any lights (better not have to use the toilet). In addition, the AC didn’t work so it was just 33 degree damp air with no movement. Still the staff were fabulous and if they can get the power sorted out it would be a full 5 stars!

Great independent hotel, it was a paradise. Rooms are large and clean. Food at breakfast, lunch and dinner were all of very good quality. The whole place is kept spotless, and the 2 pool areas are a bonus. We preferred the quieter pool at the back, definitely recommend.

One of a kind jewel near the beach at Nungwi. Fantastic restaurant, two beautiful pools and lovely gardens. Excellent staff and great hands on owners. Large rooms with balconies. No need to leave the property except maybe to shop in the nearby village

The property has two swimming pools and lush gardens. It feels very private. The owners live on site and have created a warm, family feel to the resort. It is delightful and we highly recommend it for a stay in Nungwi. Delicious food in the restaurant with a different menu each evening. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Great place to stay!

We had 3 nights stay at Aluna hotel in Dec 2019. Aluna is located 5 min from Nungwi beach that you access from a private road. The Hotel has a great garden and 2 pool areas, free wifi, two bar-restaurants, lounge area and small boutique. The hotel it has been renovated and the new rooms are designed beautifully and paying attention to thoughtful touches. The rooms are spacious and very clean, bed is very comfortable and some of the rooms has a great jacuzzi in the terrace/yard. The staff is super welcoming and friendly, and the food is healthy and tasty. We loved the Dorado, one of the tastiest in Zanzibar! Thumbs up to the chef!! Furthermore, the hotel has great initiatives, like selling a beautiful design water bottle that you can refill anytime, reducing the consumption of plastic and taking home a nice souvenir. Just super! The tuk tuk service is a quick, fun, and cheap way to travel to kendwa or nungwi. We wanted to travel longer distances, since it was a really cool way to go around. Once we arrived, we had a big confusion with the room type, but Caroline and Tom, fix it making our stay much better. The only minus was to book the blue safari with the local company. We had a terrible experience and ruin our day. Thanks to Caroline and Tom for cheer us up, they are really kind and great owners. If you are looking for a good hotel in Nungwi, that’s the only choice in our opinion! Mantas and Maria.

Wifi is weak...as if like there’s no wifi. I couldn’t download a photo or voice clip from whatsapp. Sometimes I couldn’t even connect to whatsapp. 20mins walk to village center. Not enough of pool chair. Their food came very slow, waited for an hour and more. Nice staff. Nice pool area. Has hair dryer. Clean. Have a safe in the room.
