    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.

    I love everything about this oasis in Pongwe. The very Kind staff, the swimming pool, the food, thé room, the hoooot water and the vibes. I will go back there as soon as possible. Thé beach Is only 1 min walk From the hôtel but there is a lot of sea Grass. I enjoyed thé wonderful sunset over there. You can enjoy the beach in Kikwenga, only 5-10min away by boda boda (moto taxi).

    This place has a great no shoes policy and although there is a new fancy pants hotel not far away pongwe Bay resort is the real deal....authentic rooms and gorgeous thatched bungalows with all the mod cons which let you know you are in exotic zanzibar (not like the 'swish but you could be anywhere new places). Gardens are beautiful and all the staff are simply delightful

    Beautiful beach spot, rooms and facilities are charming, comfortable and with excellent taste. Staff were very nice and attentive, food was great! (very impressed with how they managed to get such fresh varieties, food presentation was also spot on!). I enjoyed myself so much that I extended my stay, TWICE. I will surely stay there again if I get the chance.

    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.

    The food was amazing. The place was really clean and well kept. I loved how intimate it was - it probably has twenty rooms max so felt quaint and boutiquish. It was also right by the water so meals are eaten with a view of the water and you can chill all day on the sunbeds right in front of the hotel and in front of the ocean. Really beautiful

    Everything's is good. The hotel is very beautiful and like Africa museum. The beach is just front of hotel. The cottage is nice and big, the restaurant is nice deco and good choice and good price. The staffs are friendly and helpful. Compare with neighbor hotel, Season lodge is quite cheap. Special for single person.

    Very nice little paradise right by the quiet Pongwe beaches! The rooms are comfy, clean with all necessary amenities. The gardens and communal areas are well organised and beautiful. Clean pool and the staff are very friendly. The food in the restaurant is very delicious with lots of variety and the prices are fair.

    The best place we stayed in Zanzibar. The beach front location and space was amazing. It has a very friendly and relaxed feel. The staff, however, make the place! they were so warm, engaging and we loved our evenings at the bar with the owners and barman chatting away. It felt more than just a hotel.
