    Pongwe is an isolated beach, at low tide the sea is very far away and, even at high tide, it is very shallow - you cannot swim. Kiwengwa beach, next door (10 minutes by car) is much better, more lively, with many shops and good hotels.

    There is not much to do in the local area other than visit other hotel resorts. We did visit a local school to make a donation and I would advise bringing something with you to donate e.g notebooks, sweets, money

    Small remote holiday village with the white sand beach but not having good beach maintenance (seaweed, some dirt on the beach). Little bit far from anything in Zanzibar (far from Stone city and airport, far from spectacular Nungwi and Paje beach). No bars, restaurants, shops and infrastructure outside the holiday resort due to remote location and low density of tourists.

    At first sight you can say....what to do here ?....no shops, just some local fruits selling points, no crowded areas, less traffic than anywhere but more nature than anywhere around. It's exactly the opposite comparing with Paje. If you need a quiet, family friendly, uncrowded spot.....ask for Pongwe. And if you want to understand why I'm saying these....just go on Pongwe beach when low tide is there.

    I did not visit Pongwe town.

    I did not visit Pongwe town. I stayed in a luxury boutique hotel north of the town as I like a quiet holiday. The only problem was the tide leaving an unattractive expanse of muddy rocks. The hotel's pontoon helped with access to the sea when the tide was high.

    The accommodation and restaurant in Weavers Lodge was outstanding and the beach was idyllic. The tide tends to be out until about 3pm (July/Aug stay) and there are some sharp rocks - if your feet are particularly fragile, water shoes are a good idea. We cycled to the next village - an enjoyable afternoon trip. Very friendly locals.

    Amazing place! Probably the most beutiful place where ever I stayed. Direct access to the beach, the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing, we just chillin on the balcony for hours every day, listening the sounds of the silence. I felt if Im dreaming many times. The suite is literally few steps from the ocean. Beautiful hotel and wonderful employees who helped us in every case. I recommend it to everyone who appreciates peace and quiet.

    Very friendly, helpful staff. Amazing food, quiet - perfect for families. The villas, pool and restaurant were all stunningly beautiful. The grounds were kept looking pristine and gardeners were out every day helping to keep things tidy. Our room was cleaned every day and our beds turned down every evening. The hotel managers were really helpful when advising us on trips around the island and places to visit.

    My stay at the hotel was absolutely magic. I have extremely enjoyed the facilities as well as the musical nights organised at the hotel. I strongly recommend it to everyone going to Zanzibar. The restaurant located on the island in front of the hotel was also a fantastic experience. Thank you to the hotel team for the great level of hospitality.

    Pongwe Bay Resort is cozy, with cute traditional hits, but with all amenities. The pool in the center meets the needs for refreshing the bodies and meet other guests. Breakfast is great with amazing service. The owner was very attentive to all guests during the day and the organized evening events.
