It was a lovely hotel and the staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Sehr freundliches Personal, Essen war etwas Fettig, aber sehr gut und abwechslungsreich. Poolanlage sehr schön, im Meer wahren sehr viele Algen, ist aber sicher Saisonabhängig. Super Cocktails und alle waren sehr freundlich und einem wurde das beste aus der Hotelanlage gemacht.

Zimmer Geruch extrem Muffig, die Klima haben wir gar nicht eingeschalten. Das Gebäude ist sehr alt und sehr schlecht gebaut, ich denke das ganze Mauerwerk ist feucht und deshalb der Gestank. Mit offener Balkontür ist es aber aushaltbar. Sansibar hat mit Sicherheit keine Europäischen Standards, hätte mir es aber etwas Moderner vorgestellt

Good location and facilities.

We had gone with half-board option and felt that the food served at the breakfast and lunch buffets were average and lacked local dishes.

Hotel jeden z najlepszych na Zanzibarze. Bardzo dobre posiłki, zarówno śniadania, obiady jak i kolacje w formie bufetu oraz stanowisk oferujących różne dania regionalne i z grilla. Dobre ryby, ośmiornice i owoce morza. Bardzo miła obsługa i to wszędzie, w restauracji, na plaży w barach.

Dosyć daleka i wyboista droga z lotniska ale da się przeżyć. W końcu to Egzotyka !

The staff was amazing! Particularly, Devota M. and Finath H. They took excellent care of me. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, attentive and accommodating. I stayed at Nungwi for 6 nights and 7 days and I felt like family! The food was very good. The entertainment was very good. Walking on the beach and talking with locals was so much fun. I enjoyed my time here...will definitely be back!

The roads to the hotel are terrible. But I don't blame the hotel for that. That's my only negative.

Perfekt beliggenhet, nydelig Strand og omgivelser. Maten var god. Rent og pent. Hyggelig personale.

Var langt unna aktiviteter og må beregne god tid i bil pga dårlige kjøreforhold og trafikk.

Service was amazing. Especially the staff in the restaurant. They were really helpful and friendly and made my 1 year old feel special. We weren't happy with the shower head and contacted reception who had somebody fix it within minutes which was impressive. The food was great. The location was very good.

I was accidentally given an alcoholic drink from the pool bar despite saying multiple times I wanted a mocktail and without alcohol. Was quite disappointed as I had made sure to stress without alcohol.

My brother and me spent 5 days in Nungwi beach resort by Turaco This was my second time at this hotel, I really enjoyed my time on the first visit, this is why I decided to come a second time. I say happily that the only change, I met , was that the food was much better and had more variety. The hotel is located in the middle of probably ,the nicest beach in Zanzibar. Tourquis water, fishermen boats taken like from a picture, white sand, and palm trees. The people at the hotel are always very kind and helpful, doing everything with a smile on their face. Rooms are very comfortable and very clean. I took a second time the all-inclusive deal, I think it is worth it. One can drink as much cocktails as he wants, can choose between Pizza or Hamburger at the pool or a buffet for lunch and a good dinner buffet. The Alcoholic cocktails, which I mentioned, are of a real high level. I don’t know if it is because of the fresh tropical fruits or the bartenders, who prepare them. I have been to some fensi hotels, like Hyatt in Cancun, but for my taste they are not coming to this level. While there, ask Benson, maybe the best bartender I met, to prepare a Pinacolada or Mango Daciri, he is a real professional. Thanks also to Lea, who always does her best, so we can feel like in a home. I recommend this hotel to anybody, who is going to make a holiday in Zanzibar.

Nothing

Location right on beach. Inviting reception area. We stayed in one of the bungalows and rom was well-sized and clean. Enough sunbeds and beach/pool towels included. Pool bar, beach bar, coffee shop, gym and onsite spa available. Good and healthy breakfast options. Buffet dinner with new selections every day on a 7-day rotation. Quality and selection was good. Biggest plus is smiling and friendly staff throughout the resort.

The area surrounding the hotel is not inviting you to a walk.

Location and staff

Showers didn’t work properly, roof was leaking and the mosquito nets had holes in them so they were pointless

Everything was good , I really enjoyed

Nothing

The location is overall decent - it doesn’t have quite the perfect sand of up the beach near the Z hotel or Smiles, but it is still very nice and is within easy walking distance if that stretch (which is also where a lot of restaurants are). Facilities were good - decent adult pool, beach bar and pool bar were nice, and the fisherman’s restaurant is very good. Some of the staff were great as well, particularly the pool staff

Service level isn’t what I would expect from a Marriott. The check in staff are pretty abrupt, and were at first telling me I have to put a plastic bracelet on my 2 year old for 1 week duration so they know she is from this resort. They were also very rude when my father in law ( who was staying in a next door hotel) came around to meet us and spend some time at the beach. Given it is one person and a close relative, I don’t think it was necessary to give him the Spanish Inquisition and tell him he couldn’t come on-site except visiting the one external restaurant. We would have happily paid a day fee or whatever which is what most hotels do but it wasn’t offered. On a different note the children’s play pool is very slippery and the swings could do with replacing

Everything!

Buffet breakfast and buffet dinner options.

The staff is very friendly, they are all good people and try to do their best. Bathroom is okay.

The way through the village was terrifying, the hotel is old, smells strange, they try to renovate it but not successful for now, it was noisy because of constructions. beach is horrible, very dirty, they do not clean it - shoes, bags, clothes, you can see anything. Food is not good at all, everyday the same 3-4 dishes…. Do not deserves its money, way expensive than it should be. Many mosquitos.

only employees were concerned and polite

The location is very bad, there is no swimming on the beach, there are fishing boats and everywhere is covered with moss, there is a bad smell rooms are not bad, but there is no hygiene, everything in the kitchen is dirty plates, glasses. We bought an all-inclusive package, but there is a different menu, we can't eat and drink everything we want. They asked for extra money, because our flight was late on the last day, we wanted to leave the hotel late. After 12, they asked for money for everything.

the environment the beach and the service

the location of the hotel outside the road.

People were lovely - accommodating, kind and helpful, especially when I got sick. Live music bands were excellent! Buffet food selection was great but beware of anything washed in water (produce) vs cooked. Room was large and comfortable. Unfortunately bathroom had a openings that ants infiltrated.

Though perfect for sunsets location is far from airport and Stone Town. The beach is gorgeous but shared with all who cross it so lounging directly on the beach is not possible - there’s an elevated patio with sun chairs that helps. My sandals were stolen off the beach while I swam in ocean. I got sick from from food one day - but it was unavoidable.

staff were good and friendly

facilities are old need renovation, especially in rooms

Nice hotel with front view with welcoming staff at reception

Staff were not available for drinks and the entertainment wasn't great. The food was not tasty at all with very limited choice and no sea food! Also there is no room service after 10.30pm which is a bummer when you are on vacation.

Friendly staff and exceptional service if something needed to be fixed or changed in the room. The barmen (Raphael, Pascal and Immannual ) were very entertaining and made the rest of our stay one to remember. Leah and Given were so caring when we needed muscle cream and always made sure we were happy. Overall great hotel and staff but not very flexible to accommodate guests.

Some of the food made a few guests sick, but that's to be expected if you're from different countries. They have too many rules for a Zanzibar hotel. I have my own shisha and I wasn't allowed to smoke it at the bar. I could only smoke in the shisha lounge and I had to pay to use my own shisha. They wanted to confiscate my shisha because I kept questioning the reason why this rule was implemented and I didn't get a valid answer.. The rest of the island you can smoke anywhere and not pay a cent. I told them they won't get it because I take it with me when I go to other bars on the island and it's my property. So my first day was not a good experience at all and it set the scene for the rest of our holiday as I felt like a criminal for being a difficult customer. Needless to say I obeyed the rules, of course. I understand that hotels have to have rules but some rules are ridiculous and some rules are there so that they can make more money from guests that are all inclusive. It would've been nice if all the rules were posted on their website before I booked and paid. The rule didn't even mention that you have to pay to smoke your own shisha. Would have been nice to know because I went to the shisha lounge to smoke my shisha (obeying rules) and again a manager approaches me to say I have to pay, you can imagine my attitude. To top it all off, the shisha lounge is part of a restaurant that is not part of all inclusive so I had to order and pay for drinks there. I felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome. You aren't allowed to take a glass of juice from the breakfast area to your room, that's so bazaar. You can only swim until 7pm, it should be 9pm at least, or even 8pm as people are on holiday and not in a prison. It felt as if we were being controlled and on an island like Zanzibar it should be hakuna matata. That being said this was our 3rd visit to Zanzibar and we won't do an all inclusive hotel again.

The food selection throughout the buffets was fantastic and they have an a la carte restaurant on the beach front too. The drinks were great and the facilities at this hotel for the idyllic Zanzibar holiday are phenomenal especially for the value to price ratio. The hotel itself was excellent to the point we saw daily maintenance in the form of touching up paint, gardening, landscaping, cleaning the pool. People said in the previous reviews that it’s “tired” but these travellers in my opinion are expecting too much. This is Africa, Hajuna Matata 🙌🏽

There physically wasn't anything about the hotel that we felt we didn’t like.
