Shanuo Beach Bungalows Reviews

Great location. Cool rooms but only get complimentary water on the first night

Traveling for a month through tanzania, kenya and zanzibar, shanuo is by far the best choice! the staff and manager are super welcoming, extremely kind! not to mention the landscape, the accomodations, the beach and the neighborhood... if you are looking for relaxing days after safaris and excellent value for money, do not miss this bed and breakfast.

+ хорошее расположение отеля, первая линия; + приветливый персонал на рецепшн; + хороший завтрак, есть много вариантов блюд из яиц; + удобные двухэтажные домики с видом на море; + кондиционера в комнатах нет, нопо факту он здесь совсем и не нужен, т.к. домики удачно сконструированы и защищены тенью в самою жаркую вторую половину дня, даже вентилятором ночью не пользовался; + очень хорошая подготовка номера против комаров, персонал обрабатывает номер спреем и над кроватью качественная сетка, которая не ограничивает доступ воздуха; + прямо возле отеля всегда были свободные парковочные места; + вокруг много заведений, в которых готовят свежие морепродукты. - сильные отливы на этом пляже, но это не большая проблема, до места купания легко дойти пешком по песчаной отмели, даже прикольно.

Wonderful lodge in front of the sea we had great time during our stay in august 24 bungalow extremely comfortable beautiful garden with hammocks and beach loungers with excellent white beach as view. Thanks to Gillian and to all the staff … see you soon

I would highly recommend Shanuo. Gillian and her staff could'nt have been anymore helpful and friendly. They booked taxi's and trips for me at very fare prices. The rooms are just what you need for a relaxed and comfotable stay. Very clean and well maintained. Excellent choices for breakfast served on your balcony. Directly on the beautiful beach with plenty of 'sunbathing' space / swinging beds and loungers on the property. Great advice how to travel around to local villages. As a solo female traveller I felt safe and comfortable at all times not only at Shanuo but in Zanzibar. Did not want to leave.

The hotel is in a perfect location and the beach is very beautiful!! The Wi-Fi worked well and the room was very clean. Here is the perfect place to relax and connect with the nature. The hotel team was amazing!! Also, Kassim, the exceptional guide-driver that the hotel connected us with, went above and beyond expectations! He showed us the best local spots and culture, was very fun, respectful, and had a lot of knowledge about Zanzibar’s history. We absolutely loved it and recommend it!

From the welcoming after checking in early hours of the morning and waking up to the breathtaking views, the cleanliness, attention to details is on another level, Gillian and her entire team went an extra mile to make the stay memorable, I am definitely coming back, it was more than a “Pole Pole” experience for me. You won’t go wrong with this place.

Perfect for a beach holiday. Great location and right on the beachfront. Rooms were comfortable and very clean. Gillian and every single staff member went out of their way to make our stay memorable. One of the best beach holidays I’ve had. Will definitely return.

Perfect place to have some relaxed holidays. Very nice team and the manager Gilian is so kind and nice with us!! In the last days she let us stay more time in Shanuo, take a shower. Everything perfect.

Small place, a room that reminds me of the ones in films from 100 years ago. There is no air conditioning, there is a small, scary fan. Non-existent breakfast! Only positive thing is 300 meters from the Rock restaurant

Excellent structure very close to the splendid sea of ​​Zanzibar, very clean and hospitable rooms, very kind and helpful staff, super breakfast. They also perfectly organized some beautiful excursions for us. Highly recommended!

A bubble of sweetness in Pingwe. Clean and cozy bungalows with terraces. Rest areas with an incredible view of the ocean. A real moment of relaxation and change of scenery far from the hustle and bustle of tourist beaches. I recommend the sunset excursion: a magnificent moment. I recommend !! A big thank you to reception for their warm welcome.

Non può definirsi hotel, non può definirsi resort. Pochi bungalow immersi nella natura e rispettosi dello spazio circostante affacciati su una spiaggia che risplende del fenomeno delle maree. Abbiamo soggiornato lontano dal caos dei club affollati e rumorosi accolte e coccolate da uno staff gentilissimo e dalla manager, Gillian, che consiglia e organizza escursioni e transfer a dir poco perfetti.

È un hotel molto caratteristico con struttura a bungalow che si trova proprio in riva al mare, la spiaggia è enorme ed è possibile fare delle belle passeggiate oltre che rilassarsi nell'area comune con lettino o amaca. In totale ci sono 15 stanze con wi-fi e terrazzino all'aperto e, anche se non è presente un ristorante all'interno della struttura, la colazione è servita all'aperto proprio davanti alla camera e si possono scegliere due o tre tipi di menù dolce e salato. Noi abbiamo fatto mezza pensione e la sera ci è stato dato un voucher da utilizzare in uno dei ristoranti della zona comodamente raggiungibili a piedi dalla spiaggia. Unica pecca non c'è l'aria condizionata però ogni stanza ha il suo ventilatore a pale. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile si possono prenotare direttamente delle escursioni tramite loro così si è tranquilli sul servizio offerto e inoltre a due passi c'è il famoso ristorante "the rock" sempre raggiungibile a piedi. L'accoglienza è davvero al top la manager della struttura Gillian è super disponibile ad accogliere tutte le richieste che le vengono rivolte e ti fa sentire davvero a casa.
