Nungwi Apartments

Location was great, if you look for a small authentic place to feel real charm of the tropical paradise. The view from the Ocean view Suite was amazing. White-sand beach with the ocean entrance was just in some steps down. Tides were calm enough and didn't make serious problems - you can swim smoothly most of the time. The room was clean. The hotel's restaurant was good and there were some ones around. The hotel's staff was extremley friendly and did their best. It was a real pleasure. Special thanks to Noela from the restaurant team - she is a stunning girl who does a great job. Despite the room we had (Ocean view Suite) was clean and was being well cleaned every day, it extremly requires rennovation. The most of furniture and room/bathroom equipment was very old, not properly working and must be changed. The beach life near the hotel was quite active and noisy with a ”fish market” at about 6am every morning where locals bought fish (in fact, it can be even interesting if you don't sleep) and with a DJ who worked at the restaurant next door. It was not an issue for us but can be a problem if you need silence.

We stayed at the Zanzibari Hotel in August 2024 and we made the best decision. What we really loved, is the location. The hotel is tucked away from all the noise providing tranquility and peace while it's still a walking distance to town and restaurants. At high tide, we enjoyed looking and listening to the crashing waves and at low tide, we enjoyed taking a stroll on the beach. Nestled along the stunning shores of Nungwi, this hotel combines the perfect blend of luxury, cultural authenticity, and warm hospitality. Accommodation: The rooms at The Zanzibari are tastefully designed, reflecting the local architecture and vibrant colors of Zanzibar. Our room was spacious, meticulously clean, and equipped with modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay for us. The private balcony provided breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, and we loved waking up to a stunning sunrise. Amenities: The hotel boasts an impressive range of amenities. We loved the infinity pool overlooking the ocean, which provided a serene space to unwind while soaking up the tropical sun. We also liked to have lunch at the tables by the pool or sit at the bar in the evening. Dining: The restaurant space looks luxury and we loved the bar made out of a huge old boat. The menu was great and chefs are dedicated to using fresh, local ingredients, and the menu offered delicious choices for everyone. Service: The Zanzibari staff was very attentive and friendly. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family and we were helped with any questions or requests we had. Conclusion: For those looking for a blend of relaxation, culture, and exceptional service, The Zanzibari Hotel is a perfect choice. It left us with lasting memories, and we can’t wait to return!

Nach einer Safari sind wir nach Sansibar geflogen und haben 3 Nächte im Maisha Nungwi übernachtet. Der Empfang war freundlich, alle Mitarbeiter waren hilfsbereit, das Zimmer wurde jeden Tag gründlich gereinigt und das Essen war abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker. Außerdem war der Weg zum Strand kurz und nicht so touristisch überlaufen, wie z.B. Richtung ”Mama Mia”. Am Strand gab es noch ein eigenes Restaurant, welches jeden 2. Tag ein Programm und ein leckeres Abendessen bei Sonnenuntergang anbot. Die Anlage war sehr ruhig und an den beiden Pool´s konnte sehr gut entspannt werden. Besonders gut fanden wir das Angebot aus der touristischen Gegend von Nungwi für $ 3 -5 mit einem Tuk Tuk abgeholt zu werden und somit einen sicheren Heimweg hatte. Die einzigen kleinen Kritikpunkte haben wenig mit dem Hotel zutun. Wie oben beschrieben sind gewissen Teile in Nungwi touristisch etwas überlaufen und dementsprechend wird man sehr oft mit irgendwelchen Angeboten angesprochen. Außerdem sind in dem Meer einige Algen. Das soll aber nicht den sehr positiven Eindruck des Maisha Nungwi trüben!

This is a nice no frills hotel with great location. Staff are friendly especially Salah who will go out of his way to help guests with anything. The hotel has a wonderful garden with Dik Diks, Guinea Foul, a monkey, and probably a lot more. It’s like waking up in a jungle so serene and beautiful. The pool is also located in the Garden. Rooms are basic but clean bathrooms could be updated. A/C worked well and the rooms also have a ceiling fan. Breakfast at the restaurant is ok, it is a la carte not a buffet. We had lunch once at the restaurant and the food was great. Location is wonderful, lots to do and other places you can walk to. Overall a very good experience at this hotel.
