This is an amazing place. Not only the facilities ( highly recommend a delux room) but the service and attitude of staff is so friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Ester, GM Mr Eric for the hospitality and for going beyond our expectations. Thank you also to Ismail and Moana who arranged fun program ( watergym, swahililessons, villagetour etc). I recommend this place warmly and will surely visit again.

The existing reviews stating how great this place is are not wrong! Chosen for this reason, we were not disappointed! Tikitams is, without doubt, five star. The staff do everything they can to welcome you and attend to your every need. The hotel is quite remote and certainly not for those looking for exciting nightlife. It's quiet and, most evenings, everyone was back in their rooms by 9pm. But if you're looking for quiet and calmness, where all you hear are the sounds of monkeys and bush babies, this is the place for you. The food is delicious and there is good variety. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. Someone comes in every evening to turn down the bed. Afternoon tea is served every day at 5pm. The bar is a lovely space and cocktails and beer reasonably priced. We were offered a complimentary face, neck and back massage at the spa which was a real treat and outstanding. The staff are amazing. Two examples: 1. We were going on an excursion that involved swimming. Knowing pool towels were provided at the hotel, we had not brought our own. Unsure what we could take for excursion, we planned to ask at reception prior to leaving. We got to reception, ready to depart, and there was the receptionist with towels, anticipating our need without our even asking. 2. We wanted to use the pool table just off the restaurant. It is outside. When we got there, there was a large flying insect sitting on the table top. I got pool cue to encourage it to fly away. From out of the shadows, a massai warrior (I kid you not; they are the security team for the hotel) appeared, removed said insect, and disappeared into the shadows again. Not sure if he continued to observe our bad pool-playing or not because he was undetectable again. All you hear from all who work at Tikitams is 'You're welcome!' and 'Makuna matata'. We had a fantastic four days! I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing get-away-from-it-all!

This place has a great no shoes policy and although there is a new fancy pants hotel not far away pongwe Bay resort is the real deal....authentic rooms and gorgeous thatched bungalows with all the mod cons which let you know you are in exotic zanzibar (not like the 'swish but you could be anywhere new places). Gardens are beautiful and all the staff are simply delightful

I have travelled quite widely and this truly is my favourite place in the world! The location is superb and was so quiet, no tourists to be seen at all! Sabina and Miss was amazing and looked after me so very well. The food is fabulous and the cocktails too. Solomon the owner is super too. I could not have been happier in this extraordinary beautiful place. I would without doubt come again! I even made my first Tik Tok film to show everyone Santa Maria Coral Park definitely the epitome of Hakuna Matata

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.
