La camera con balcone, la gentilezza dello staff, la colazione, il BBQ in spiaggia. la spiaggia privata che al tramonto si accende di vita locale.(piacevole, mai fastidiosa). I giri in barca alle isole vicine.

Its location at the end of the Nungwi Beach together with the small number of rooms gives the accommodation a pleasant and relaxing intimacy. The beach is a sandy one; you can swim all day long even at low tide. It has a bar and a small restaurant which is a plus; they serves both staying tourists and those from outside, but due to the location there is no traffic at all
AC is not working very properly , or it was just because of the energy quality; anyway, it can be improved

The view!!! Amazing and friendly staff.
Service takes a bit longer, but just relax, you're on vacation. Hakuna Matata 😊

Position magnifique, petit dej satisfaisant, personnel disponible
1 jour sur 2 pas d’électricité, la clim qui ne marchait pas correctement, le linge lavé à la main donc pas admissible dans une structure hôtelière. Par manque de courant la nourriture ne peut être conservée correctement, surtout que les autres avaient des générateurs ou panneaux solaires. C’est la 2eme fois qu’on vient, et la dernière

This property has an amazing staff! They made the experience better than what it would have been without them! They tented to my every need
The location is hard to find if you don’t book with transportation with the property itself. It’s tucked away and the roads are bumpy to get there(no fault of the property), just be aware

Wir haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Empfang war freundlich und herzlich. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, die Betten sehr bequem. Der Ausblick ein wahrer Traum. Das Frühstück war für uns ausreichend. Die Veggievariante war sehr mächtig. Die Pancakes dagegen hätten etwas reichlichen sein können. Die Liegen und Schirm sind inklusive. Man wurde, wenn man auf den Liegen lag, zum Glück sehr selten angesprochen. Ebbe und Flut ist da,
aber definitiv nicht so ausgeprägt wie im Süd/Osten.

Check in was smooth and the staff were very accommodating on our late arrival. The room was gorgeous and we simply enjoyed spending a whole day on the balcony taking in the sights! Food was delicious, alcohol was available at the cute restaurant downstairs right on the beach. The tide is out 12-5pm but it’s too hot to swim anyway then as you’ll burn. We loved swimming when the tide was in. Breakfast was simply delicious, try the vegetable chapati! Power cuts do happen and Wi-Fi cuts out but that’s just Zanzibar, not the hotel. I also actually think this is the better end of the beach to stay at as there are more business men down the other end of the beach.
Only improvement would be to accept card payments as the ATM is a 30-40 minute walk away and doesn’t always work.

L’emplacement, le calme, le personnel.
Anna est très à l’écoute et disponible pour sa clientèle.
Mention spéciale à Daniel pour sa playlist « love song » !
Un très bon moment passé en fin de journée.
Hakuna matata !!
Juste un petit bémol pour les coupures d’électricité 😉

L’emplacement est idéal pas loin du centre, les pieds dans l’eau des restaurants à proximité sans oublier le personnel qui est génial !
L’isolation de la chambre n’était pas très bonne les fenêtres ne ferment pas vraiment du coup le chaud et le vent rentre

Közvetlenül az óceán parton, a teraszról a vízre nyílik kilátás. A reggelit felszolgálják a szobában, a teraszon ülve mintha a parton reggeliztünk volna. Tágas tiszta szoba, légkondival és ventilátorral.
A felszereltséghez és a hasonló hotelekhez képest magasabb ár, kicsit túlárazott. A reggeli és a bár választéka egyszerű. A part nincs karbantartva, kicsit szemetes és a tengeri fű itt-ott felhalmozódott.

The location is perfect - right on the beach, with beautiful views. At a quiet end of Nungwi, so without the noise and hassel, but within comfortable walking distance or a quick taxi drive to the busier main beach area. The rooms are comfortable and very well kept. Breakfast choices are varied and the food is good, with a choice of either having it at the on-site beach restaurant or delivered to your room. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Anna takes care of guests with a personal touch and Daniel provides food and drinks at the restaurant/bar with a smile and a friendly chat every time. I travelled with my elderly mom, and the staff were so helpful and caring. We are already looking forward to our next stay!
Absolutely nothing.

Ein Bijou direkt am Strand. Die Zimmer sind sehr gross und sauber. Der Blick auf den Ozean vom Bett aus - einfach nur fantastisch. Anna und ihr Team sind darauf bedacht, die Wünsche der Gäste zu erfüllen. Sehr nettes Personal. In 15 Gehminuten gibt es den wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang zu sehen. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und wird auf Wunsch auch im Zimmer serviert. WiFi war sehr gut. Ich komme sehr gerne wieder Absolut 💯 empfehlenswert! Gutes Preis - Leistungsverhätnis!

for me this is the best hotel in Nungwi! Once again I come back here with pleasure! The view of the ocean from the room is beautiful. you fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean! The staff helps with everything and at any time. have their own private beach beds. And there are no annoying local sellers! thank you for a great holiday Anna and team 👍

breakfast was so good and you can choose in advance what you'd like to have. we have it at our own balcony, which facing the sea. the queen size bed was so comfortable and especially I loved the shelf, you can put everything organized. I must say the atmosphere was so cozy, staffs there were friendly and they had 2 lovely cats, which made its yard like a playground at home. i bet you'll love it once you stay there.
some other guests were so annoying, for they came back so late, around 3-5am. they spoke loudly while walking, it bothered so much.

We had a great stay at Crystal Beach. Our room was bigger than expected. You could choose breakfast from five options every morning, where we didn't get bored even during a longer stay. You can also order breakfast in your room and enjoy the beautiful view of the sea (even if the tide is usually already out). There is also a small beach restaurant in the hotel, which is quite good because the hotel is a bit away from the centre. It is much quieter and there are fewer beach boys than at Nungwi Beach. The staff are all very friendly and helpful in all respects. Thanks again to the team!
Sometimes the water pressure was very weak. But I think this is a problem all over Zanzibar. One should use water responsibly and not wastefully, because it is an important commodity.

Close to beach, bar, nice beach in front of the hotel.
There are birds stealing the breakfast. It’s quite away from the centre.

First of all, great location. the hotel is at the Nungwi beach, but in a very quiet corner, so you can enjoy the beach in all tranquility. all the rooms are oriented towards the sea and you have your own private balcony from where you can enjoy a view of the ocean. the staff is also extremely friendly and helpful

The rooms were huge and super clean. The staff were very nice, helpful, and friendly.
Wifi was a bit slow and electric current was unstable but that is a problem with Zanzibar as a whole and not Crystal beach really

nothing , the property is Squizzed into a spot where there no signage , no reception area no property dining place .
Everything , it doesn’t have the ambience of a holiday destination . I have been to better places in Zanzibar for same prices and they offered a better experience . we only went there to sleep , there is no proper space to hang out when you don’t want to do site seeing.

Very clean and big room. They changed sheets daily. Peaceful and relaxing hotel. Very good food in the hotel. Breakfast can be served on your balcony overlooking the sea. Big beds. Extremely friendly stuff. Special thanks to Anna who got me medicine, after I got food poisoned in Stone town. Don't be disappointed if you don't see the sea, it's coming in 6 hours 😊 Good A/C and fan on the ceiling. Mosquito nets, though there weren't any.
A little old Beach towels. A little stiff mattress.

Thank you, we felt at home. They helped us with all our problems and requests. Absolutely friendly staff. The rooms are spacious, clean and cozy. The restaurant is very tasty and huge portions with wi-fi access, which is convenient for work. This hotel was booked for dates that we wanted to stay longer - this is the only thing that upset us

The stuff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the fantastic view from our balcony directly on the ocean. The breakfast was delicious and the room was spacious, clean and of higher standard. Anna could help with any belonging.
The ocean was not as clean as expected an had high tide/ low tide as at the east coast.
