Pongwe Beach Hotel is a fantastic little property on the East coast of Zanzibar. It is a relatively simple affair that offers great value for money. For this reason we do really like it for our best value itineraries, however, thanks to the reputation it has at this level of accommodation it is often hard to get space so booking well in advance is advisable.
With only 20 rooms, in 3 different categories, it does not feeling like sprawling resort and while the hotel first opened in 2001 it has had a full refurbishment in 2016 which has helped to maintain comfortable standards. The food is good and the staff are great so all in all this is a great option.
