I was at the resort 15-22 May 24 which was off peak season and it was perfect. I opted for full board so breakfast and dinner were included in the price of the stay. Breakfast was buffet that includes egg station (yay for custom omelet every morning) and always had fresh fruit among other things. Dinner during low occupancy was a menu with some options for starter, Main and dessert that changed from one day to the next. I thought this was a fun way to choose my dinner and customize my dining experience. When the hotel had more occupancy, dinner was a buffet with several different meal options. The food was always delicious! There is a mango, avocado, shrimp salad on the pool bar menu; you MUST try it. Resort offers free wifi that was strong and reliable throughout my stay. The staff was very responsive and always looking to ensure you were satisfied and had what you needed. I went to adjust one of the pool chairs and it ‘broke’ and there was a staff member there in 30 seconds to get me another chair. Francis worked most of the days of my stay and was so friendly and offered wonderful customer service. The hotel has a spa and I took full advantage! Michi is awesome, the prices were reasonable and I was able to make multiple appointments because it was quiet at the resort. There is a small gym on site but I chose to walk in the mornings; the road outside the resort is calm and people in the town are very friendly.

It has been my second stay at Santa, but for sure not the last one. The place is amazing for relaxation and experiencing the lazy, beach holiday at a true paradise. Santa Maria makes you feel like home, and the staff - like the part of their family. In particular, special credit to Sarah, Jeni and Musa for how they made us feel very welcome at all times. Along with the rest of the staff, they're making Santa a place you will be eagerly coming back to. Also, the food is delicious! They have one of the best octopus I have ever had.

Amazing location with the resort overseeing the beach just a few steps below. Clean picturesque sea view with mild low and high tides. The resort offers kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment, spa and gym, choice of different massages and yoga sessions, all top notch. The staff (management to cleaning service personnell) is super-friendly, helpful and fulfílls all your wishes. The chef is a class of his own and it comes as a surprise Tulia restaurant does not have a Michelin star yet. Several interesting guided or ungiuded tours outside of the resort complete the experience. All in all, a really unique, amazing stay. Thank you!

You need to take into consideration the feelings of your visitors....we do not like being targeted by people pestering us to buy from them every time we go to the beach. It really is a negative factor of visiting your wonderful island paradise....it spoiled it for us. Also this happened to us on other beaches in Zanzibar so not just a Pongwe problem....its endemic to Zanzibar.

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.

Beautiful location! Opening your doors onto that most beautiful view of the Indian Ocean is the most incredible things about this! The pool area and Temple bar is also wonderful. Breakfast is adequate. We ate at the hotel 3 times. Twice we had lovely food, once was not so good. We had burritos and they were deep fried and incredibly greasy. We loved Mwini and Perdo, they made our stay really happy. We also loved the hotel dogs, although did feel sorry for them as there never seemed to be food/water for them.

The weather was not the best for a couple of days but still had a fabulous stay. Breakfast is excellent with amazing fresh fruit and plenty of other choice. Ate at the jetty restaurant a couple of times which was good. All in all a stunning and lovely place to stay. Thankyou to all at Pongwe Bay!!

New, well-maintained, clean, nice pool, ocean right under your feet, very nice staff, Very affordable prices. A place for people who want silence, nothing more Located somewhere... No entertainment, you can walk along the beach in 30 minutes to the place where there are 4 nice hotels where you can eat well, and there is also a hotel and restaurant of a small island. Check the prices before.... Not everyone will enjoy them
