Located in Kiwengwa, a few steps from Kiwengwa Beach, Zanzibella Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. A hot tub and a car rental service are available for guests. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. During our stay in Zanzibar we stayed at 4 hotels total and considering the quality of service, garden, taste of food, room cleanliness and equipment Zanzibella was the best. We really liked the garden, the pool with a bar and relaxing atmosphere all around the hotel. The hotel is smaller size which is great that we had more privacy, beach is secured by the guards, so we could relax calmly, however locals are mostly nice. Option to rent a paddle board for free was great, hotel could provide also a water shoes! During a high tide sea level fine and great to swim in the ocean, but for better swimming experience is better to walk 10 min left from the hotel to Kiwengwa beach. Zanzibella was not the most expensive hotel where we stayed during our holiday at Zanzibar but comparing the other 3 we got the best value for the money.

With Paje Beach reachable in a few steps, Ananda Beach Hotel provides accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a private beach area. Complimentary WiFi is provided throughout the property. We loved the location. Getting out of our room and being already on the beach is the best. Also we had a small patio with chairs and table outside of our room which was so comfortable to have if we wanted to sit outside and just talk and listen to the waves. There we had a little pond with water to wash the sand off our feet before getting inside which was so nice to have. More than a room we had like a small apartment with an entrance, a sofa, different places to hang our clothes and the bedroom had two beds. We had so much space, even the bathroom was spacious and everything worked nicely. We loved having a full mirror, small detail but so useful. We also had a small fridge. The restaurant was nice, and the breakfast offer as well. We liked having sunbeds beachfront, but inside the hotel area where beachboys and masaai couldn't get in. They could be very persistent and annoying and follow you for miles until you get in hotel area, which was delimited by a very nice swing. We loved our rooom, we wish we could have stayed more! The location, the size, everything was perfect.

The property is non-smoking and is situated 43 km from Kichwele Forest Reserve. The perfect stay at Nungwi. I cannot explain how much i enjoyed my stay at kai zanzibar. The staff are extremely nice, they will insist to help you in every step, they wouldn’t even allow us to carry our small bags ourselves, they do. The owner is extremely nice he offered us a nice party with some friendly locals inside the hotel. The rooms and equipments are in perfect condition. I would not think twice if i come back to nungwi again. This is the most perfect place to stay at

Yoga classes and fitness classes are arranged at the fitness room in house. You can play table tennis and tennis at the accommodation, and bike hire is available. The Nest Tropical Oasis Resort has a children's playground and a picnic area. Room was small but had everything we needed. Everything worked, no complaints. If u want a low-key place on the beach this is it. Just bring snacks lol.
