Decent Stay but WiFi Issues Need Attention
The hotel was decent overall. The rooms were fine - clean and comfortable enough -and breakfast was satisfactory with a reasonable selection. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the WiFi was a major issue. It didn’t work in our room at all, and despite reporting it, the problem was never resolved, which was quite inconvenient. On the plus side, Noel, the manager, was caring and attentive, which was appreciated.

Great place with below average food
4.5* hotel with very nice grounds poll and access to beach. Really enjoyed the stay except the food. You would expect that island nation would know how to cook fish and see food. Extreamly disappointment with food quality and lack of interest even if you make comment that something is not tasty. There was one person Kisa which was top notch and really helpful. And one meal which was amazing Arusha beef fillet - perfectly cooked. Everything else served especially during lunch 2*. I have still enjoyed my stay and could recommend it if food is not your thing

I loved the property and how friendly the staff was. The only thing I didn’t like was the amount of flies. It made it really difficult to enjoy food and drinks outside by the bar or pool.

Everything about this hotel was amazing. The only thing I want to warn other travelers is that the staff will service and treat others first and better. No matter how long you were there first. I’ve noticed this on multiple occasions. This will be the only reason why I won’t book there again.

Amazing place to stay with beautiful views. The staff are so helpful and accommodating. Only down side is that the 24hour room service menu is quite limited in terms of options but besides that, nothing negative to say. Great stay

I just want to start off with a HUGE thank you to the staff at this facility!! I've traveled to many islands in the Caribbean & Asia- the Nungwi Dreams has been the best stay EVER! The staff is kind, friendly, knowledgable/intelligent, catering, they all remember your name- I can go on and on!! I learned so much about Tanzania/Zanzibar & Africa in general from the staff, which kept me mentally stimulated- always a plus!! The facility is clean and well kempt. The food, hookah (shish) and drinks are tasty- I had the lobster pomadore 3 times. The chef baked a mini cake for my birthday & sang to me in Swahili!!! The entertainment provided by the local tribes/people is stunning & beautiful to watch. If you are a beach lover like me please take "swim shoes" with you (although the hotel provides)- the water can be a bit rough during the high tide and there a MANY sea urchins that you will need to dodge by wearing shoes. I spent most of my time by the pool which isn't typical for me, but was able to go in and out of the ocean during the low to medium tide. Special shout out to: Mark (manager), Simai, Victor, Baraka (bartender), Latifah, Akia, Daniel, Jaha, Charles, Lisa, Khatib, Tatum & the pool guys (didn't get their names)- you all truly made my stay as a Solo traveler the most amazing thus far (this was my 3rd solo trip). I will be back at some point- hope to see you all there! Thank you!!!

I don’t think I can rave about this place enough. The staff there are eager to please and literally wait on you hand and food. The free breakfast had so many options you will not be hungry until dinner lol. The massages were so amazing I felt so relaxed afterwards. And the best part about the property is the views. The views from our ocean front room was breathtaking. That same view stretches across the whole front of the hotel. Sitting by the one of the pools and enjoying the ocean view as well was my favorite way to relax. I loved it loved it loved it. It was also my birthday, and the staff got me a little cake and sang me happy birthday during dinner, it was so sweet of them! Thank you Nungwi Dreams!

Dream Resort for Vacation
Nungwi Dreams was a gorgeous resort for my 8 day stay in Zanzibar. Nestled in between other resorts and the ocean, the room had a spectacular view from the balcony. We arrived fairly late, and the resort was gated with security present, creating a safe environment for guests. The bed was very comfortable and the room spacious for two people. The two pools were easily accessible and cleaned often, and pools overlook the ocean as well. We opted for half board and the breakfast/dinner options didn’t disappoint.The l restaurant located at the Pool was a great place to grab drinks, pizza and sweet snacks while relaxing near the water. The staff and service was plentiful, although I wish there was a better virtual way to keep track of room charges. The only thing that would make this better would be to have an adults only side. I would stay here again, and truly enjoyed my stay!

4/10 Fair

Overpcied for what it is and food is terrible
Will try to be as balanced as possible. Good things: - staff very smiley and helpful everywhere -the swimming pools are really good and worth it -the beach is amazing one of the best visited atound the world (water shoes are provided aswell) Bad - food is not great at all...stale bread used in burger, fresh juice not fresh, the dinner buffet has poor quality ingredients and gone off fruit. Breakfast buffet was average although presence of flies was a let down. Overall this isnt 5star food at all and it is the main reason that the review is only 2 stars...£500 a night room but the food is more like 2star hotel food... Service- can be inconsistent...for lunch the wait time is 30minutes regardless of what you order. Sometimes you would ask staff for something and they would disappear and not come back...there is a tendency for them to ignore your request if they didnt understand it. Gym- small but functional but the air conditioning does not work so its like a sauna...again I raised it with a staff member who didnt return Rooms- occasional power cuts and water cut off can be annoying although its transient. Presence of ants in the room occasionally. Tldr: amazing beaches but terrible food not value for money
