Top Nungwi Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili – All Inclusive – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Una hermosa propiedad con buenos servicios, habitaciones amplias y equipadas. El personal en restaurantes destaca por su amabilidad, lo que desafortunadamente no se extiende al personal del lobby que es malhumorado y desidioso, salvo concierge que es atenta. La comida y bebidas para ser sistema todo incluido son excelentes. Otra consideración es que no se informa que servicios como spa y compras en tienda no se pueden cargar a la habitación, situación que tampoco se informa al hacer el check in. Dada la distancia al aeropuerto seria bueno puedan ofrecer alguna opción de transporte."

Turaco Nungwi Resort, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"

Canary Golden Hotel

8/10 Good

"Weak Wifi connection. Other than that a nice hotel and good location."

Smiles Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spotless, everything was at the highest level. A little paradise with the stunning view. The hotel people went above and beyond."

Zenobia Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"good ocean view location. very relax."

Cocolala Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Cocolala was a fantastic stay! Sebastian and his team were extremely helpful and made everything very easy. We were able to book our snorkeling and transport through the hotel, enjoy a tasty breakfast each morning and being a one minute walk to the beach was great!"

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"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 massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! 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 your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"

Amazing Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice stay at Amazing beach hotel! Staff are exceptional and made the experience much more enjoyable for me and my family. Property kept well. Perfect for solo travelers but even for a small family. Restaurants very close with good food. Waking up to the view of the beach was incredible. Highly recommend, I would definitely return myself! A+👌 ⚠️ A word of warning the Property only accept cash, so you will have to pay for your stay at the reception, not through Expedia or any other booking site. There was abit of confusion when I arrived and I had to pay again in cash but currently waiting for a refund from expedia, so it all worked out. Just letting you know to avoid this happening to someone else. ⚠️"
