0.6 mi from Nungwi Mnarani Aquarium

"I’m happy to strongly recommend Terry’s Villa to anyone traveling to Nungwi. I stayed there with my family, and we had a spectacular experience from start to finish. The villa itself was clean, spacious, and very comfortable — especially appreciated after long days exploring Zanzibar’s beautiful beaches. Although the villa is located a few minutes from the beach, it’s still within easy walking distance, which made getting around very convenient. A special mention goes to the manager, Shivji, who...

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better.

The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on...

"I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this hotel owner. We paid $2,700 for what was clearly sold to us as a 3-day tour, but after payment it was suddenly reduced to only 2 days with no proper explanation or refund. To make matters worse, we were left at the airport without any transportation arranged, despite this being part of what was discussed. Since then, the owner has ignored our messages and refused to respond or take responsibility. This felt unprofessional,...

Top Nungwi Mnarani Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Amaan Beach Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Exellent place to stay. A dreamlike beach view, nice swiming place and beautuful surrounding. Loved the place and enjoyed my time there."

Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about Z1. Pool overlooking the ocean was beautiful, poolside service was also great while lounging. Private beach loungers were also really nice with security keeping beach peddlers away. Next door is a little convenience store where you can get cheaper cold beer/soda/snscks. Room was very clean and comfortable and turned over twice daily. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really solid at sexy fish, overlooking the ocean/beach. The rest of the meals are pricey compared to nearby places and I wouldn’t say the quality is much higher. Just fancier plating and garnishes. Not a ripoff by any means but for the price we got better value at local spots off the beach."

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely fantastic! The hotel and our room was spotless and as soon as we walked in we were welcomed and made to feel special. Our room was incredible, so spacious and comfortable. Every single staff member at the hotel could not have done more to make our holiday unforgettable, everyone went above and beyond, were polite and friendly. Food was delicious and there was so much variety, the restaurants were fantastic with the best steak ever!! The pools made it feel like we were in complete paradise, overlooking the beach, plenty of sun loungers, brilliant entertainment and fantastic staff always there to get us a cocktail!"

Nungwi Dreams by Mantis

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here 5nights with my friends and the experience was great. Very clean with good ambience and yummy buffet breakfast."

The Zanzibari

10/10 Excellent

"⭐ 4‑Star Review – The Zanzibari Hotel My family and I had a lovely stay at The Zanzibari Hotel. The property has a peaceful, intimate atmosphere, and the ocean views are truly beautiful. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and always willing to help when we needed anything. One thing travelers should know is that the meal options are limited, as the hotel has only one restaurant. The team does make an effort to change the menu daily, but the variety can still feel restricted, especially if you're staying several nights or traveling with picky eaters. Another point to consider is that there are no planned or organized activities offered by the hotel. While the setting is relaxing and perfect for unwinding, you’ll need to plan your own excursions or entertainment outside the property. Despite these limitations, we enjoyed our time here. The peaceful environment, friendly staff, and beautiful ocean setting made it a memorable stay. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a quiet, simple, and scenic getaway."

Maisha Nungwi

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn’t recommend this hotel more! We had an amazing stay at Maisha, the staff were an absolute highlight for us and really made the trip special. A huge shout out to Edward who was always a friendly face with warm conversation and made the best drinks at the bar, he really made our trip memorable! We loved the beach bar and the food and drinks were great. I highly recommend using the TukTuk service to visit local Nungwi & Kendwa beaches, it costs a couple of dollars and is very worth it. The drivers are great and can pick you up whenever needed. The staff are really helpful if you have any questions or need any recommendations on what to do on the island. We loved the couples massage and recommend doing this whilst at the hotel. The hotel is steps away from the Mnarani turtle conservation pond which was a highlight for us, and focuses on turtle welfare and rehabilitation vs a tourist trap."

Essque Zalu Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"Property is beautiful but there is no swimmable beach. They have a shuttle to another resort but they only do it twice a day, You have to pay $10 each but it is consummable, You can use the chairs and umbrellas but by the time you get there after 11 they are all occupied, if you don’t care about the beach then its ok. They have a nice pool and a jetty."

Aluna Beach Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"The staff here were so kind and accommodating!! Saadia and Julia were so friendly! We had to check in really late and they helped us arrange transportation from the airport and someone was there to let us into our room. We were just steps away from the beach and could easily access multiple restaurants. I would definitely recommend staying here!!"
