"The place is a bit run down, but ok and a fantastic location. Staff was very nice and helpful. They could have a better animation team, such a big hotel should have beach volleyball, water polo etc every day. When we were leaving and basically going around the corner to another hotel, they charged 15 dollars, Uber was 4."
"+ hotel on the first line, convenient descent to the sea;
+ on the territory there is a shower and free sun loungers;
+ the hotel staff is very friendly and welcoming, it was very comfortable to rest;
+ breakfasts are very tasty, in addition, every morning the chef prepared a unique pizza or pie;
+ free Wi-Fi, stable Internet;
+ there are many restaurants nearby for those who want variety in food or fresh seafood.
- parking is prohibited everywhere near the hotel, but there is a large paid parking nearby, and if you wish, you can find several free places nearby in the village;
- electricity often goes out in the evening, but they quickly restore it, so the problem is not a big one."
"Have a good time at Smile Beach Resort. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. In the evening someone came to close the mosquito net and sprayed the mosquito spray. Breakfast and lunch are good, and we don’t use dinner because there are many restaurants nearby.
I would like to mention the swimming pool and the seats on the beach, which are areas for improvement. They are very old and hard. The bed in the room is also very hard."

"My Blue Hotel is very beautiful and clean. The pool is the absolute highlight. From the pool you can enjoy the sunset super. At the beach there were always many free beds so you had a choice of place at any time. The staff distributed cocoa nuts on the beach daily. The staff is very friendly, food delicious and fresh, the evening program was varied, a very clean hotel. We would recommend it to everyone further.
The location and the beach are superb.
The hotel offers massages at a good price. We enjoyed the holiday in full trains.
The internet was usually bad, however. In the room, there was little reception. This has potential for improvement."
"Amazing stay! I wished I had found this place before my previous booking. A mistake in my arrival date forced me to look around the area to find another hotel when I found Amaan hotels. Best choice ever! Great service, location right by the beach, breakfast buffet was a feast and the rooms have all you need after a day by the beach and pool. I would definitely choose this hotel again!! Perfect for all types of travellers!!"
"The hotel is very nice, it’s very quiet though and doesn’t seem to be very popular among travels choice here. The room was spacious, and clean, the staff were very friendly. The WiFi was great. The breakfast was good. A few options for cereals and fruit , coffee and tea as well as options for cooked meals. The location isn’t bad but also not amazing. The beach directly in front of the hotel is not the main beach, there’s a lot of seaweed but it’s only a 10 minute walk along the beach to the nicer beach area. 20 minutes of walking along the roads. Considering the price for what you get I think it’s overpriced but in all honestly so are all the other hotels on the island."
"The room layout is reasonable, clean and bright, two bottles of water are provided every day, the first floor is directly connected to the pool, the pool is clean and beautiful, breakfast is average, dinner can be booked in advance, the hotel is 500 meters from the sea"
"An annoying and tactless manager, tactlessly comes in the mornings before breakfast on any issue, without asking if you want (can) if you are ready to discuss issues of payment, room change and others. Too much light in the room, despite the blackout."

GGuest UserVery good resort. Facilities are top quality and well-maintained. Food was very yummy, although breakfast could offer more variety for a 5-star hotel (e.g. there was no smoked salmon for breakfast - I consider salmon to be standard at 5-star hotels catering to international clientele). Staff are well-trained and very professional. The resort also offers spa services as well as tour bookings, but we did not avail of these. For our travel dates the all-inclusive package on trip.com was by far the best value for money compared to booking directly or through any other website. One potential area for improvement is the provision of a mini rack on the balcony/veranda where guests can hang up wet clothes after a tour - would be a nice thing, which I've seen at some other resorts, as some guests just want their clothes to dry, not necessarily washed.
GGuest UserWe had a great time! The ocean is next to the hotel. The rooms are very clean and there is hot water in the bathroom. Delicious breakfast in the morning. Safe - the area is guarded by a security guard. We recommend!
GGrace S TMy friend and I came for 3 days and 2 nights and it was great! We arrived around 9am which was way before the check in time and they accommodated us so well and gave of coffee and fruit while they set up our room early! The room was way better than what we ever expected. The AC was the first we’ve had in our whole month stay in Tanzania! The room was spacious, had patio seating private to the room, a great bathroom, and very nice decor! Breakfast was good and the staff was extremely kind and accommodating to any needs. The location is great and a 5 minute walk to the beach and a great restaurant called Maisha that we ate at almost every night. The area felt very safe too! Even at the end of our trip our flight was at 10pm and they let us leave our bags at the hotel while we spent our day at the beach, and even let us come back to change and wait until our taxi came! Overall a great stay for a great price, we were so glad to have gotten the chance to stay here!
YYour Jamaican GirlI had an amazing stay at Nungwi Beach Front Hotel in Zanzibar! The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beautiful beach, which made it super easy to enjoy the ocean views and relax by the water. The hotel was impressively clean, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—they made us feel right at home. While the amenities weren’t quite five-star, they were more than enough for a comfortable stay. The lack of a TV and the occasional power outages didn’t bother us at all, as it gave us the perfect opportunity to disconnect, relax, and spend quality time together. Plus, it was very affordable, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a laid-back, authentic Zanzibar experience!
RRimmaCherThe hotel is absolutely amazing. It’s very quiet, peaceful with small and cozy territory where you can find animals just walking around. The staff was so hospitable and helped us book the trip to Mnemba island. I really enjoyed lying on the deck and watching the water rising, the best part for me was swimming right off the stairs of the hotel (once the water is up). The walk on the beach was also very pleasant :)
