Wir haben ein Seaview Suite mit Pool gehabt, das Zimmer, Bad und der Pool waren sehr sauber, es lohnt sich der Aufpreis um einen eigenen Pool zu haben. Das Essen war sehr gut, der King Praws Salat hervorragend. Einziger negativ Punkt waren die Säfte, woanders war es viel besser. Der Mango Saft hat aus der Packung geschmeckt und nicht frisch gemacht. Der Strand hat extrem viele Algen, nicht angenehm, daher haben wir die Zeit in unserem eigenen Pool genutzt. Wir haben einen Ausflug mit dem Boat zum Pongwe Reef gemacht, sehr wenige Koralle und die meisten kaputt, man sieht ein paar rote Seestern. Im allgemeinen ein sehr gutes Hotel, mit guten Essen.

The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The overall service was excellent. This is a wonderful place to relax - it may not be 5 star luxury but it is authentic African hospitality - just what we had hoped for.

We just left after spending 6 night at this wonderful resort. My family and our travel friends had a wonderful time, and were sad to leave. The staff are super amazing, the resort was a wonderful place to relax, the food very delicious, I can’t really say enough great things about this resort. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend the Pongwe Beach Hotel!

The staff and management were all very friendly and professional. Our room was delightful and had everything we could wish for and more. The beach was beautiful, clean and private. The food was of a high standard with a menu that changed daily. Would recommend Pongwe Beach to anyone wishing for a relaxing holiday in the sun.

Overall we had a wonderful stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel. The property is very unique in Zanzibar in that it has its own almost private beach pretty much immediately near bungalows and its very beautiful and quiet, the sea is very clean with less seaweed than others we visited. Beautiful swimming pool overlooking the sea. The resort facilities and bedrooms could be improved in that the decor feels a little dated in terms of interior design, but generally very comfortable and very well serviced by the ever cheerful and kind staff working at every level. Food is very good, the menus are changed daily and offer two options plus two vegetarian options at lunch, and others at dinner. The rooms could be improved by offering air conditioning in every room. Some rooms only offer a fan with a bed-cooling air con system which we didn’t enjoy.

Great staff ! very nice and welcoming. Very helpful front desk especially Martin. The pool and beach are great, be aware of the tide but in my opinion this added to the charm of the hotel, allowing us to walk on the beach alone :)

We visited Pongwe Beach after a week bumping around on safari, like most visitors. The hotel was the perfect place to slow down, relax and enjoy the beautiful beach, pool and ocean. The small beach was perfectly lovely and private, with lounge chairs always available and just the right amount of sun and shade for the hot days of summer. Service was great and the folks made themselves available on just the right frequency. Happy hour drinks were beautiful and delicious. Breakfast was a highlight, with perfect omelets, a buffet full of fruit and delicious morning coffee. Oh, and speaking of coffee, the early morning delivery of coffee and tea to the bungalow patios was an unexpected treat. Up with the sunrise, enjoying a cup of delicious Tanzanian coffee on the beach was an absolute joy. We did enjoy lunch and dinner as well, with the menus changing daily. Food was good, but not over the top excellent, but no real complaints. The hotel is slightly out of the way, so be prepared to pay a lot for transportation should you want to visit other parts of Zanzibar, like Stonetown, or eat at other restaurants on the Island (we do recommend The Rock, if just for the experience). As with most visitors here, we were sad to leave and were wondering how we can find an excuse to return someday in the not too distant future.

Great hotel on a wonderful beach where the low tide is less extreme than in other places. In many hotels in Zanzibar you can see the ambition they had when the hotel was built, but management hasn't been able to maintain it. This hotel is an exception, very well kept. Very professional staff. Only negative thing I can think of is that the food is a bit overpriced.
