the hotel was on a large property with lush gardens and quaint cottages for rooms that allowed ample space for guests to still enjoy their vacation without being on top of each other. the common areas were also spacious and simply designed to allow the island to shine as naturally as possible. We had intially booked a room with one queen and one twin bed but since we arrived at the beginning of the season, the hotel wasn't as full so they gave us a small cottage closer to the beach that had one queen bed. We inquired about this and the reception was willing to switch us to a room with twin beds but those cottages were quite a distance from the beach and the room wasn't bigger. They advised us the room we booked wasn't available as of yet. As we were friends who were travelling, we had to make do sharing a queen bed but it wasn't too bad to share. The staff were friendly and the breakfasts were great. they also had staff who were entertainment people who facilitated evening activities that brought guests together for good times and connection. The beaches are pristine and naturally exquisite. There are several locals who make a living offering tourist excursions and will approach people for sales but a firm no will get them to enjoy your beach time peacefully. There are multiple local restaurants and bars along the beach where one can enjoy the local scene as well. We were two women friends and we felt safe to walk around the villages and the most that happened was locals saying a hello as we passed by. We walked through the villages for 20mins to the turtle sanctuary and back and no one bothered us. I love Zanzi, this was my third visit and I plan on being back soon. As a fellow East AFrican from Ethiopia, I feel safe and amongst my people in this stunning island.
The property features 2 swimming pools and free WiFi. Guests can relax on one of the sundecks at the beach, around the pool or relax in the exotic garden.

The staff was amazing and really made sure, that we have everything that we need.
Since the hotel on the pictures is currently under renovation, we got a room in the Canary Nungwi Hotel with a free room upgrade and free 60 minutes massage for each one of us.
It would be better to place some information in the Booking.com description, that the hotel is a different one, but they really cared well for us at the other hotel, it was a great stay and they definitely made it up for that small confusion.
They also let us stay a bit longer on our last day and gave us a different room, such that we could shower once more before heading to the airport in the late afternoon.

on the beach, expect constant stalking and harassment on a whole new level (and i've been to 70 countries including 7 other countries in Africa)
people will rudely interrupt your conversations or meddle even when you tend to children in case to offer their (sometimes illegal) goods or services, and become angry if ignored, or just keep standing/walking next to you, sometimes in groups, sometimes to the hotel door or whatever other destination, trying to imitate your language all the while
if you talk back to them and allow them to tag along, they will demand money for their time/effort afterwards
so definitely not recommended for families with kids, and generally you have to be tough to be able to enjoy the (very dirty) beach despite all this

Nungwi is probaly the nicest beach in Zanzibar.
Nungwi is probaly the nicest beach in Zanzibar. Its not overcrowded and yet has enough restaurants and bars. Alway take care when walking along the beach, when you try to return you might not be able to due to high and low tide. Also visting and eating at the fish food market is a must, tgey have daily fresh fish and seafood and tge prices are affordable

The beach and the resorts are beautiful. People are amazing!
This situation with the Masai though its literally unbearable.
They don't know when to stop bothering you.
I am there to enjoy the sun and the beach not to be harassed by them, after I kindly explained that I don't wish to talk, have a good day, they literally follow me and don't leave me alone.
This ruined my whole experience!! Every second, every single day.

Nungwi used to be a small fishersmen's town, but it is now buzzing with bars, hotels and restaurants and lots of activities to do. If you want to go on a snorkeling trip, or have other fun activities. Then this is your spot. I appreciated the beautiful ful of the ocean - with the clear blue waters and the fishermen working.

What i liked most is the Staff who were very caring especially when my daughter fell ill there did their best to help her. Food and ambience were just great not forgetting about the friendly owners, I would definately recommend a friend of even family members at your property, I have nothing to complain of.
Kihori is a great hotel, the rooms are spacious, very clean.
Breakfast was excellent and huge :)
Location is perfect, 10 steps from the beach.
The staff are amazing, Halima and Helda made my stay so much easier, they helped me with everything, changing money, pharmacy, getting around, all kinds of tips and tricks and also with organising trips with the best price I had in Zanzibar. I would recommend the hotel to everyone a 100 times.
Thanks once again to amazing Halima and Helda for everything :)
Great architecture, great location, super clean. Breakfast was very delicious and satisfying ( that pancakeee :), I am a serious coffee addict and they have various coffee selection. Before coming to Zanzibar, I had some question on my mind about the food, but the hotel's food is really successful. The hotel has 2 chefs and they do great job. And the hotel is very close to the most famous nungwi beach. We will definitely come again.
We had a chance to experience gym and spa. We liked massage.
Fantastic beach right outside of property. Great pool area with swim up bar. The gardens are lush and well taken care of. Good selection of drinks and food at restaurant. Staff were incredibly friendly and felt very secure with on site 24/7 security. Not that you need this but it felt very secure, that you could leave your belongings to go swim in the sea for example. Definitely recommend eating at the seafood restaurant - one of the best food experiences during our time in Zanzibar.
am a remote worker and have been in Zanzibar for more than 21 days. I travelled to the south and east coast of the island but Nungwi beach is the most beautiful beach. The sunset is the best here. The Zenobia team was the kindest and friendliest staff I have seen so far. The place is very hygienic and safe to eat and drink. The location is amazing, and the services are good quality. They have generators for electricity cutouts, and the internet was good enough.
My trip to Tanzania was good. I enjoyed Zanzibar but when j came to Nungwi ans stay in this hotel made my day ..
The hotel manager was amazing.
The staff are well training with good customer service.
The internet is super ..
The room is fantastic
The breakfast was one of the kind
I recommend Amy one to stay in this hotel
Because you will never regret it..
I am coming back again with my friend from Canada
Nungwi Garden was a dream. I stayed here with my cousin who had a serious allergic reaction before we arrived to the hotel. Dickson connected us with a local doctor and she got better in no time. the staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable and made accommodations for us. we got our laundry done with ease. the walk to
the beach is so quick. Dickson was so helpful! would stay here again.
All in resort
Great food, on the private beach, 3 pools, so it is never crowded. 24 hour bar, big comfortable rooms and bathrooms. We had little hibiscus messages and arrangements every day
Golf carts to cart you around
They went to a lot of trouble for Christmas Eve dinner, and all the kids had a gift in the bedrooms - a Zanzibar water bottle
Certain water sports for the more active were free
Location is very convenient for the beach, the rooms are basic, staff are very friendly and lovely ! But few issues made my stay not so enjoyable, first the WiFi only works in certain parts of the accommodation, needs to have a better ceiling fan or AC as it’s very hot in Zanzibar, loads of lizards and insects around the rooms, Papaya has some room to grow to shine be a 5* accommodation
Great place to stay near one of the best beaches in Zanzibar. Bungalows are big, comfortable and with everything needed inside, great garden refreshing during hot days.
My flight to Ukraine was canceled, I had to change my plans, and the owners of the hotel kindly let me stay one more night for free. I really appreciate that! Thank you!
Recommend to stay.
The location is a bit more quiet than the rest of Nungwi Beach front hotels, right at the north tip of the island.
Our room was very spacious with spectacular balcony view right at the serene Indian Ocean.
The great value about this hotel is their lovely beach restaurant with a unique fusion menu, we had some delicious wraps ordered to our balcony.
Zuzana and Barack are great hosts. The house is new and built in a traditional way. Breakfast is freshly prepared by a chef and it had everything we needed. 2 min walk to the beach and several restaurants. The property is pretty close to a mosque (which is normal in Zanzibar) and you have earplugs in the room (quite useful). We would come again!
Aluna Nungwi was a lovely hotel. It is about a kilometre from the main busy hotels, a quick walk onto the beach and then a 20 min stroll to Nungwi beach. 45min walk from the start of Kendwa beaches. 2 pools which are great to relax by, food and service was great. Really kind and friendly staff. Excellent communication.
This place is definitely value for money! It was very clean and the breakfast was exceptional- the best that we’ve had in Zanzibar (it alternated everyday). The ladies were very nice and helpful, always present. The AC was very decent and the room was spacious. It is about 5-10min walk to the beach.
brand new hotel in a very good location with clean room and facilities. Staff was helpful and always supportive. one of the best beach fronting hotel in Zanzibar. hotel management especially Phillippe and Alberto was really helpful and caring when we have slight health problem.
The buffet breakfast is nice. It has a beautiful beach front and so you can easily access the water sports like snorkelling, swimming with the dolphins etc. which Zanzibar is famous for. All the staff speak English and there is also 24 hour security.
I loved everything. Situation closed to the beach, friendly staff. I've stayed in female dorm and it was clean. Save place. Foods there is so good. Breakfast is nice too. I booked twice after one stay in. It was a safe bet to end my stay in Zanzibar
Gorgeous swimming pool
Delicious buffet breakfast
Spacious and sparkling clean room
Beautiful garden
5 minutes by walk till the beach, shortcut, you must to know the way, tiny way in between 2x walls
Kendwa is the best beach in Zanzibar, white sand
Location is great. It is secluded at the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. Food was tasty and staff were helpful and accommodating. I commend Marc and Angelina (from front desk) for their exceptional guest service.
The place is beautiful near to the beach just walking for 3 min but you must go throw the markets but its nice the stuff very friendly and kind people as all people of zanzibar
Everything was just perfect. Ahmed as host was brilliant and very helpful. Our stay was really great. Fully recommended. Just few steps from most beautiful beach in Zanzibar.
