Everything! Absolutely everything! The place is a piece of heaven! Don't think of going to any other hotel in Zanzibar. The staff here are exceptional. All of them. Frank at the reception is a true gentleman; he knows what the guests like, and he makes it ready even before I ask. Regina at the restaurant makes your meal an unforgettable experience. She is always smiling, and she gives all her heart to make you happy. Irene is like another sister for me. So kind and respectful. Also, the guys at the restaurant and the guys who take you to the shore by boat. True gems. This hotel is all about the staff. For me, they were family. I love you and I will return.

This is a very private boutiqe hotel, with just around 12 rooms - about 6 were occupied while we were there. It felt really private.
Breakfast is a la carte, with many options.
Staff was constantly cleaning and doing small fixes around the place. It was always stunning and spotless.

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 could not recommend this hotel highly enough. The service was exceptional from the moment we arrived until we checked out. Notably, the general manager Ally looked after us and all the guests we spoke to incredibly well. The food was sublime and facilities faultless. The view from the sandy beach is postcard worthy and the best on the bay. We had stayed in Dubai for a few nights before arriving but Toa Hotel Resort surpassed our experience in the Dubai resorts and our expectations. We will be returning and I highly recommend to all.’
I have stayed at 4 different resorts in Zanzibar and this was by far the best resort. The rooms were clean, the food was delicious and most importantly the staff was great. I stayed there with my wife and baby and everyone was always helpful . A big thank you to Ahmed and the other waiters in the restaurant, it was a pleasure. Also, a big thank you to Adela the manager for making our stay very enjoyable. I would strongly recommend this resort to anyone looking to relax in Zanzibar.
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.
The hotel is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is excellent. The spa is also very nice with a good range of treatments. The beach area is nice (just be mindful that during low tide you need to walk if you want to swim). The overall atmosphere is very relaxing.
The bungalow was amazing. One of the best hotel rooms I've ever been at. Great price-quality.
During the rains I could take a bath in the sea-view bath tube.
Private sand beach and patio were perfect for relaxing in total relax and privacy. Highly recommended.
Our stay couldn’t get any smoother, hotel is cozy and clean, there is no crowd and no stress! Great place to relax, authentic pool, friendly staff, Frank showed us around and was very professional and always in a good mood -)
My wife and I love water entertainment and being there off-season (we were just two couples!) allowed us to enjoy it to the fullest, as we like it, with the full and very discreet support of the hotel staff.
This little hotel has wonderful staff who are very hardworking and go out of their way to make you feel welcome! we enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to travellers interested in visiting pongwe.
The location, atmosphere, food staff and overall the whole hotel was exceptional. Hotel staff was extremely profesional and friendly.Ideal for couples who want a romantic escape or relax after stone town.
We paid for HB ( breakfast and dinner- *note* all nonalcoholic drinks, wine, beer and cocktails are additional) The food was a highlight of our stay and Consistently outstanding. The Island at Pongwe.
A hotel with nice layout. You can see very well the low/high tide difference and it is beautiful. Nice and big pool. The staff at the restaurant - always smiling, made you feel also happy.
The staff is awesome, the restaurant is really great (people from other hôtels come for dinner). It's calm and very peaceful.
We felt in paradise during our stay in Pongwe Beach Hôtel
The place is amazing. We needed a place to relax and this hotel was just such a place. Rooms fully equipped. Nothing is missing. We will definitely return to this hotel.
an unique experience all together .. one of the premier resort in Zanzibar..staffs are very very friendly.they welcome you in unique way which feels really overwhelming.
The beach is very calm and quiet, the staff super helpful and friendly. Delicious food - I recommend octopus with coconut sauce - the best octopus in my life :)
Everything about the hotel was good. There's a nice common area with beds and a pool where you can eat or drink at anytime. The food is different everyday.
Wonderful breakfast, amazing quality of the food stunning beach, great views, super quiet place perfect to enjoy holidays with the family or a honeymoon.
