The resort nickel and dimed you for everything. Keycards, having guest stop by your room. The beach was wonderful. If you are coming with a spouse or romantic partner then wonderful. But absolutely do not come here if you are coming for any good vibes or party environment. This place is strictly for people who want to be low-key and quiet. No vibes whatsoever.

The facilities were clean. Amenities were good. Beach is accessible from the resort and it's a short walk into town. Wish there were more food choices at the buffet but the food was good.

We were there for 2 weeks and had a good time. Sadly we upgraded to "all-inclusive" on arrival and wished we hadn't. Drinks are overpriced and there are too many restrictions throughout the day when and where you can eat or drink. Sadly, you even had to pay for coffee if you didn't have it at breakfast. The snacks were limited to mini-burgers or pizza - that was it despite there being 10 different snacks on the menu.. Snacks were only available in the afternoon. We had a deluxe direct sea view room which was nice but the room itself was very tired with not much "deluxing" going on. There were several things not right (toilet not fixed to the floor, shaving mirror hanging off the wall and the one chair had no support and you ended up sitting on the floor).. However, these were all rectified okay. It's just indicative of how tired the place is in parts. It sounds like I'm moaning, but I'm not, there was a lot that was really nice and we would return, but just not have the All-Inclusive package as it currently is. The food in the main dining hall is superb and plentiful - lots of choices and fantastic service. There is a premium restaurant that's sadly not included. We would have dined there but they only offered a 20% discount for A-I guests. We thought we would have had at least one meal there as part of our package.. On a pricing note. A 4-star hotel in Stone Town charged us TS 3,000 for a local beer. The same beer at Nungwi Beach Resort was TS 10,000. Not good really..

We stayed here for 5 days and it was so relaxing! The resort is beautifully done with all the amenities: pool, spa, shops, restaurants, entertainment and private beach area with deck chairs for hotel guests. The food was great - We had breakfast included and ate a few time at their Fisherman's Grill restaurant. We saw they also offer half-board or all inclusive with a variety of food choices, if you prefer this option. The room was lovely and spacious - we booked a seaview room and it was directly on the beach. Had all the amenities, good air conditioning, shower and comfortable bed. The staff are excellent and so friendly. Always available to help and made our stay perfect! Would happily stay here again!

Ok let’s start with the positive points. 1. The staff are absolutely lovely. 2. The gardens are extremely well looked after 3. The coffee Shop on site is great. 4. The beds are comfortable as they have a great mattress topper on. 5. The bathroom is adequate even if a little dated and tired. Not so positive 2. The hotel and accommodation is dated tired and in need of repair. The thatched roofs are falling down, and completely dilapidated. 3. The rooms are ok and fairly spacious however the room is in need of a renovation/refurbishment. 4. The windows. On the whole site are dirty including the bedroom patio windows. 5. The stairwells and communal areas leading to bedrooms are dirty. 6. Food is good, (we only booked B&B ) the buffet style restaurant is good and good choice something for everyone. 7. We ate both nights at the fisherman’s Restaurant attached to the hotel. 1st night we had lobster and we were originally sat outside but when the food came we were attacked by 1000 flys so we had the retreat inside. The lobster was good even if a little overcooked. 8. 2nd night we ate there it took over an hour for our food to arrive, and we and another couple were the only people in there. 9. The beach - if you’re going for the beach you will be disappointed as it’s full of rubbish and seaweed. Also the jet ski people drive like idiots, it’s an accident waiting to happen. Also full of beach boys so you get hassle hassle hassle. 10. We walked into the village, and

Most enjoyable stay and Nungwi Beach. Top class resort, friendly and helpful staff. Great choice of food. Limited nightlife/entertainment outside of hotel but that seems to be Zanzibar in general.

Pleasant stay if it weren't for the disappointment of the beach. The hotel is nice and very well maintained. We stayed in an Ocean view room which was magnificent, in front of the beach, with the hammocks right in front of our room. The hotel service is very friendly and they always help you with everything you need. Breakfast is buffet style and complete. Dinner is also buffet style, and should improve the quality and variety. The wifi failed quite a bit at the beginning, but they did everything possible to fix the problem and they managed to fix it. Our biggest disappointment was the beach. The 5 days of our stay it was full of seaweed, nothing to do with the hotel's advertising photos where you see a white sand beach and a turquoise blue sea. Swimming on the hotel's beach is almost impossible. At low tide, the beach is full of seaweed and you have to walk more than 300 meters to swim. In fact, nobody swims. At high tide the water reaches the wall and it is dangerous to swim because of the currents. You can only swim for a couple of hours when the tide allows it, but you have to cross the seaweed zone. We chose Nungwi because I read that the northern part of Zanzibar is not affected as much by the tides, but in this area it is affected and we also had the problem of the seaweed. On Kendwa beach, 15 minutes away by car, there is no seaweed and there is a huge white sand beach.

We have loved our stay at Nungwi Beach by Turaco. Rooms are so comfy. Air conditioning worked very well. We had a slight maintenance issue which was resolved swiftly and very well. The food was to our taste. Always fresh fish and pasta. The grill outside was a highlight at dinner in the evening. Benson, Roger,Stephano, Omar, Emmanuel and others for amazing service in the bars. We never felt thirsty once. Cocktails were amazing, much better than cheap all inclusives in Europe. Shabhan and Kaimu on the grill and pasta/omellete station was so friendly and welcoming. James, Divota, Halima and Marko gave fantastic service to us at meal times. Moses on security was so nice and pleasant. The only drawback I would say is entertainment and activities included with the stay. We were there 7 nights and there was 4 nights with dancing/singing/acrobats/whirling. We took part in aquagym on just one occasion too. We hoped it could have been being offered everyday but that could have been die to some cloudy/showery conditions in the late mornings. In summary, the staff make the place so special so make sure you tip well. We would not hesitate to recommend to others.

We had a great stay here. The only thing is the in room phone wasn’t working and water was leaking from the AC as well as bidet.
5-night trip

8/10

The food was uninspiring. The television in the room very fuzzy and almost useless. We asked for a fix but none was available. Toilet was not screwed into the floor (Room 128) and was dangerous. We asked for a fix - some guy came by to look but did nothing. We had all inclusive but many things were not under that plan. Never had an all inclusive where certain items , latte for instance was not included(Except for breakfast) When we arrive at our room the lock did not work and we had to wait an hour while workmen disassembled the door . That was fine and to the hotels credit they offered to pay for our taxi to the airport ($60) for the inconvenience. The staff was great but the restaurant in Particular needs a lot of work . I’m have owned 30 full service hotels. Marriott(Owns the hotel) knows how to do it better.
