The food is absolutely delicious, I think the best we had in 14 days of Tanzania (we ate in approx 15 places): many compliments to the chef.

Rooms are basic in a rustic style, but cleaned impeccably every day. Very nice to have the room prepared for sleep each evening :) Good to have a pool for the low tide hours (also for a quick cooling, as the beach in front does not offer a good entrance in the sea, due to many rocks) Food is tasty, diverse options and well priced. Steve is a nice and careful host and so is the whole staff - we felt very welcome and we thank you all. Will return for sure! ##### Luminita Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynda 19 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The hotel grounds are nice, the beach itself is good, just not great for swimming. There are rocks/coral & even when the tide is in it doesn’t get deep forever. You can walk around, even at night without issues, which was great! The pool is quite nice! We found the service & staff were wonderful! The rooms are nice and clean, however could use a little work. All in all, as long as you remember that it is a 2\*, most people should be satisfied. ##### Lynda Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort een fijn hotel met een hele goeie keuken. erg aardig personeel. lekkere rustige ongedwongen sfeer. meubilair is eenvoudig. kamers functioneel maar niet luxueus. prima zwembad en erg geriefelijke ligbanken. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben 4 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The best service Our stay at Pakachi was incredible. The owner provided hands down the best service and all of the employees were super friendly. For anyone seriously interested in having all of the amenities, there is no A/C in the standard rooms, but in our opinion, it enhances the experience of really living on the beach. The food was incredible, the service was incredible, and we could not have asked for a more relaxing stay. We look forward to returning to Pakachi!! ##### Ben Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy 15 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Most amazing views We absolutely loved our stay Pakatchi!!! We spent four nights at this wonderful place and wish we could have stayed more. The staff are extremely friendly. The food was delicious, and most of all the view from our beach bungalow was just awesome. Few steps down some stairs and you right on the beach. Highly recommend paying a bit more for that amazing view. Waking up to sunrise over the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing was incredible. There a great pool for swimming when the tide is out. We are very simple folks and don’t need luxury, so our bungalow was perfect for us, however if you are looking for modern fittings, bells and whistles and aircon , then you may want to look elsewhere as the bungalow are very basic and rustic which we loved. ##### Cindy Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Chiara, Verona 12 Sept 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Resort sulla spiaggia Resort molto tranquillo, bella posizione sulla spiaggia e ci è piuciuto molto il ristorante sulla spiaggia, I piatti abbastanza vari e la colazione compresa abbondante.

I don't have words to describe Steve, his wife Angela and all the staff.. they are all so nice, kind and friendly, I found a family down there and I won't never forget anybody! The Pakachi is a quiet place, cozy, comfortable and clean. They have a swimming pool, even if they are in front of the beach, beautiful white sand.. I was forgetting to speak about the food!

Steve the owner is a gracious host and ready to go the extra mile for his guests. The hotel is situated right on the beach in breathtaking surroundings. The food is excellent with 2 professionally trained chefs. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is well maintained used it every day. Thanks Steve for a great week. Cheers, Bob ##### Robert Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Uula 1 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best place for peace and relaxation If you want to relax by the beach, read a book and grab a piña colada, look no further. We had a magical time here, waking up to the sound of the waves every morning and getting up from the bed to get breakfast in the restaurant where a smiling staff member would serve us a delicious breakfast. A special thank you to Steve, his wife, and the Staff (from the guards and chefs to the restaurant staff). They were most accommodating to every request we could think of, always with a response "hakuna matata - no worries," and we were always met with a smile whenever we would go talk to them. The staff at Pakachi is very kind and happy. They really make the place feel warmly welcoming. Dos and Don'ts: Do: Ask Steve (the owner) for help in arranging rides from the Airport and in arranging trips and activities. You will get guaranteed, cheaper and safer experiences; you will be able to find your phone in case you lose it in the cab; you will not spend hours haggling for a cheaper price (a price Steve will likely still beat); you will know what to get and won't have surprises of not getting a snorkel or water during the trip after all. Don't: Look for better food elsewhere. Eat your meals at Pakachi. We tried restaurants up and down the beach and the food wasn't as great as at Pakachi. Pakachi had delicious food with great prices, fresh seafood and a nice mix of local and Western foods. Why make the hike elsewhere? ##### Uula Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura, Paris 30 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hôtel à taille humaine bien entretenu Hôtel idéalement situé sur la plage, l'ensemble est propre et la piscine top pour se rafraîchir. Le personnel est aux petits soins en permanence. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à la fois reposant mais aussi très enrichissant culturellement et humainement parlant ##### Laura Stayed 13 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt 17 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel, good location, great Bar/Restaurant Wonderful bungalow style rooms and hotel right on the beach. Spent 4 days here and overall had a wonderful experience and would gladly recommend to a friends and family. Pros; Great staff with spot on bar tending, great food menu with a rotating special menu that did change several times for the 4 days I was there, and all of this with the tables and bar overlooking a beautiful view of the beach. An owner who frequently was around and incredibly helpful in arranging activities when I asked (and not pushing an agenda like some other hotels I stayed at in Zanzibar), and great to have a beer and chat with in the evenings. Great ambiance, not too noisy and still close enough to hop over to other areas whether its Jozani, other beach areas for kite surfing, surfing or snorkeling. Cons: Not necessarily a con, but if you're looking for a party hotel, might stick to a big hotel or hostel type in Paje. Felt it was more a pro and not a con depending on what you want. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1401-p54404320-9bab-11e7-88a2-36ce2553897a-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Matt Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location Great location with friendly, helpful,ecofriendly owners and staff.

Mycket trevligt och mysigt ställe! Rekommenderas verkligen! ##### Sanne Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maurizio e Oana, Trento ITALY 12 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tranquillo resort,relax natura e oceano Ottimo benvenuto, personale gentile,sorridente e disponibile sempre, anche il proprietario è sempre cortese e ha sempre buoni consigli sui luoghi da visitare. Il resort è a ridosso dell oceano, il bar ristorante vista oceano, situato leggermente in alto con vista magnifica, sempre pronto con la dovuta calma del posto. Servizi ecologici con acqua mista, salata e dolce insieme, per doccia e lavandino. Camere minimali ma molto romantiche, c è quello che serve mattina e lasciano sempre due bottiglie di acqua. Colazione con frutta mista del posto, succo, te, caffè, pane marmellata, a scelta uova o crepes, tutto sempre abbondante. Piccola piscina sempre pulita con acqua di mare. C è il wifi in zona bar e disponibile dalle 8 fino alla chiusura. Consigliato a chi cerca una vacanza rilassante e senza tanti fronzoli. Per noi è stato un soggiorno magnifico. ##### Maurizio e Oana ### 8/10 Good #### ranghild 2 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Bra o trevlig personal ##### ranghild ### 8/10 Good #### Olivier, Nantes 30 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Hotel dans un très beau cadre. Un séjour en famille de 5 jours (pour se reposer après un safari du coté d'Arusha) L'emplacement est magnifique. Beaucoup de fleurs. La piscine et le restaurant sont au bord de la plage. Le restaurant est très bon. Le petit déjeuner très copieux. Tous les jours les draps sont pliés d'un façon différente avec des fleurs pour les ornementer. Les lits sont très confortables. Les petits inconvénients : A marée basse, il faut marcher pour se baigner, mais c'est en fait plutôt pas mal. Les bungalows sont rustiques (c'est du ciment au sol). Ce genre de confort nous convient très bien d'autant plus qu'on a tendance à ramener du sable blanc accroché aux pieds dans le bungalow mais pour quelqu'un qui aime le luxe, ca peut être insuffisant. Le seul véritable inconvénient est que l'hotel utilise de l'eau de mer filtrée par un puits et donc qui est salée (moins que la mer, mais salée quand meme). Des bouteilles d'eau douce sont données pour se brosser les dents mais pour la piscine et les douches, c'est de l'eau salée. ##### Olivier ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Nov 2016 Liked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Paradise Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Paradise-Beach-Resort.h5445587.Hotel-Information) > > [Pearl Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pearl-Beach-Resort-Zanzibar.h39193618.Hotel-Information) > > [Filao Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chwaka-Hotels-Filao-Beach-Zanzibar.h26830985.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Zuri Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Zuri-Zanzibar.h20217090.Hotel-Information) > > [Breezes Beach Club & Spa – Half Board](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Breezes-Beach-Club-Spa-Half-Board.h3522641.Hotel-Information) > > [Fruit & Spice Wellness Resort Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-Fruit-Spice-Wellness-Resort-Zanzibar.h9851631.Hotel-Information) > > [Zawadi Hotel Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Zawadi-Hotel-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h14801376.Hotel-Information) > > [Kena Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Kena-Beach-Hotel.h4544228.Hotel-Information) > > [Aluna Paje](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Aluna-Paje.h61490430.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Neptune-Pwani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h4544303.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > > [Zanzibar Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marumbi-Hotels-Zanzibar-Bay-Resort.h27086671.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Safaya Luxury Villas (Adults Only)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Safaya-Luxury-Villas.h91433919.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Ocean-Paradise-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h4235502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-The-Palms-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h10041347.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Amani-Boutique-Hotel.h45431049.Hotel-Information) > > [Baraza Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Baraza-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h10042688.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Uroa Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Uroa-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5448275.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pongwe-Hotels-Toa-Hotel-Spa.h75012943.Hotel-Information)
