Positive: Stayed here over election crisis in Tanzania but had great time at the resort and loved Pongwe. The staff was excellent and the food was delicious and fresh. None of the ATMs or internet worked but I had a ball with the Masai guys watching soccer and drinking beer.

Negative: The restaurant out on the water was ideal. Also had a great massage. There was not much to do as everything was closed so everyone just hung out and had fun avoiding Stone Town. It was all about the awesome Tanzanian and international workers who kept it all going.

Summary: Paradise in Pongwe

Positive: From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and cared for, especially travelling with our two-year-old daughter. Every detail, from the hospitality to the facilities, made our stay unforgettable. A special thank you to: Manjeer (Hotel Manager), who went above and beyond for us. He was always present, attentive to our needs, and ready to resolve, suggest, or help with anything—his dedication truly elevated our experience. Caroline, who was always so kind to our baby and attentive at every meal. She made sure we had everything we needed for our daughter and made dining a joy. Salum, whose kindness and attentiveness during meals made every dining experience delightful. Muza (Heritage Tours & Safari), our guide to Stone Town. Born and raised in Zanzibar, his knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought the city to life for us. He answered every question with patience and detail, making our visit both insightful and enjoyable. Our driver from Heritage Tours & Safari (apologies for not remembering his name), who accompanied us on tours and transfers, including to the airport. His professionalism, responsibility, and care made us feel safe and relaxed at all times. The cleaning team also deserves special mention: they kept everything spotless, were thoughtful about mosquito protection, and added to the comfort of our stay. The resort itself is outstanding: The food is exceptional, with a variety of international options and incredible flavour at every meal. The pool and beach access are wonderful—relaxing and family-friendly, with thoughtful extras like balls and cards to play. The atmosphere is peaceful and ideal for families with children. Our daughter absolutely loved every moment here. This resort is highly recommended for families, especially those travelling with young kids. The warmth, safety, and genuine care from the staff made all the difference.

Summary: The staff goes above and beyond
