Modern, very nice hotel, ideal for quality rest, neither too big nor too small. Royal suite is perfect. The Staff is extremely kind, very helpful. Breakfast and dinner delicious, wide selection. The beach dinner event was really special. Special thanks to Ally (hotel manager) and Esther for the constant care, we had a great time there.

I stayed at few hotels in Zanzibar and here it is different - original bush has been saved , added flowers and endemic plants.African style architecture blended inside the garden , tastefully decorated rooms and some villas, each has different theme. I like the local arts around.Pool on the secluded beach , so wonderfully relaxing …Life slows down🌴☀️The cuisine is absolutely delicious. I enjoyed Zanzibar traditional music band

Staying here for a week really reminded me of the early 2000s travel vibes - travellers meeting around a beach bar, long lazy days playing Bao and chatting, rustic gentle bungalows, amazing personable staff helping you in every way possible, then lazing on nearby beaches or at the pool. I got lucky and picked the perfect place. Staff need a special mention - brothers Yasser and Yusuf make a great duo keeping everyone happy and helping with trip bookings, waitresses Jennifer and Ema and barmen Robert and Musa are always ready to serve you with a smile. I can't wait until I can come back! One week wasn't long enough... Oh I almost forgot the bush babies - they are tame and you can feed them every night if you want ❤️

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Paradise Zanzibar. So much so that we actually returned from a rather awful experience at another hotel! we had the most wonderful honeymoon here and can recommend it wholeheartedly! we booked the all inclusive package both times and definitely recommend it! The acommodation: We stayed in room nr 3 first, and in room 11 the second time around. The rooms are huge and both were very comfortable! housekeeping checked in 2 times everyday. the mattresses were comfortable, we loved the amenities in the bathroom. there was always fresh drinking water provided in the rooms. we also loved the beach bag provided by the hotel to carry the pool towels in, as we used it everyday! there was a safe in both rooms (they are small, a laptop wouldn't fit), tv, a fridge, coffee and tea maker. the air conditioning worked great in both rooms. we had geckos in the bathrooms both times, but didn't mind them. the sea view terrace wasn't really a sea view as there is a lot of plants all around the area (which makes this place charming!!), we didnt mind. The pool: we had the most wonderful time staying here. the pool is huge and a saltwater pool (which we loved!). there is enough space for everybody to sunbathe at the pool. we also used the pool a couple of times after dinner as it has pool lights all around. we spent all day here and were absolutely relaxed! there is service at the pool at all hours and we also had our lunch at the pool almost everyday! The beach at the hotel: the hotel is beach front, however the sea is shallow here during high tide. we went swimming in the sea, but there are a lot of algae, so we stuck to the pool :). during low tide you are able to walk on the beach. big plus: this was a private beach, so you are not bothered by beach boys trying to sell you stuff at all! you can just enjoy your time there! the hotel also has a jetty out on the sea with a pool that is also filled during low tide and provides swimming

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.

Pongwe Bay Resort was a perfect holiday location for us. Our room was big and cozy with balcony and view to the garden, staff was extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfast options were one of the best I’ve seen. Resort has its own wellness center and they also have variety of stuff for you to use (paddle boards, water shoes, snorkeling equipment, football, yoga mats etc). Whenever we wanted to ho sightseeing or travel around hotel organized a driver for us. Pool area was also perfect with sea view and nice breeze from the sea.
