For solitude it is great. The spa is wonderful but for activities, there's absolutely nothing to do. It's an hour drive to everything. The property always provided transportation when requested. The tour operator on site will customize anything you want. The low tide is so far out, you can't swim in the ocean. It's a nice property with one restaurant but I wanted activities and the ability to swim in the ocean. The staff was wonderful!!

Cara

The cottage rooms are exceptionally good value for Zanzibar - they are spacious, right on the beach and incredibly private. The food is good and the beach is quiet without beach boys which is a huge plus.

The beachfront location is nice. Feels very secluded, which was a welcome respite. Most of the staff were welcoming and the food / entertainment was enjoyable. We also really enjoyed the massage!

This resort seems as if it’s brand new; every detail has been considered. The staff is stellar, going out of their way to make you feel welcome. The included breakfast is delicious and you are Literally steps from the beach.
I had a partial ocean view room and was upgraded for my last two nights- both rooms were great but the ocean view, which was visible from the bed, was great.
It’s a fantastic getaway location.

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.ANTONIO EUCLIDESBrazil - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.carolineEswatini - 10Scored 10

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.JoanneUnited Kingdom

- Avg. price/night: $166.638.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 376 reviewsBreakfast is simple but very delicious. It is all fresh and home made just like dinner - delicious. There is daily menu with quite a variety of food to choose - it was all very tasty. The beach is right in front of the hotel - however, there is a high and low tide which does not allow you to swim all throughout the day. Nonetheless it doesn’t stop one from enjoying and loving the place. Staff was very polite and nice. The property was extremely clean. Sea lodge - romantic, cosy, comfortable - absolutely beautiful!MajaGroup
- Avg. price/night: $5999.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 152 reviewsAmazing food. Professional staff that treat you like a friend. Very well designed & well maintained rooms and facilities. A true tropical kind of relaxed vibe - surrounded by a jungle with a white sandy beach. Very "boutique" as described - not too many people, each guest had his own little piece of heaven. I participated in an amusing Maasai Tribe dance on a weekend dinner. There was even a chill cat sleeping next to my room each day...JonathanSolo traveler

The food at the restaurant was the best we had in Zanzibar. We stayed at Sultan Villa, it has the best views, and the interior is authentic. I truly loved this place.
NourYoung couple - Avg. price/night: $3909.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 180 reviewsOut stay at Pongwe Lodge was amazing. Such a well thought out space, absolutely stunning. Everything about the place was faultless. Our room was superb with a view to die for. The food was top quality but the best thing about the Lodge was the staff. They could not be more helpful and everything that they did, they did with a smile on their faces. I could not recommend the Lodge highly enough. We will definitely return!MikeYoung couple

The staff are so welcoming and pays attention to detail in way that cannot be described, you just have to experience it. We absolutely loved that in this case Instagram is reality. At Karibu Beach Resort you are steps away from the beach, rich culture, excursions, amazing disappearing sandbanks, and inviting locals.AAnonymousYoung couple
