The property is nice, cute rooftop, good was good. Downside: the area surrounding is not the safest, you can’t enjoy the beach in front because there are people trying to sell stuff aaaaaall the time and there are way too many sea urchins there (bring water shoes); WiFi is almost nonexistent.

Dream at Nungwi Dreams

Perfect ocean view and sound of the waves made for restful sleep at night. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Sometimes it was difficult to get the shower going but once it did, very hot. There’s a slight ant problem getting into the rooms.

This property is surly a dream. The property overall is very well kept and you can constantly see the staff doing all kinds of up keep. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff is absolutely amazing; From the amazing front desk crew to the restaurant and the rooftop pub (except at the morning breakfast buffet team that were unfriendly and not attentive). My wife had several services at the spa, and she said that the service was exceptional. We travel a lot and I cant remember giving all 5 stars, I can't say enough about this place.

Staff are wonderful, friendly and very helpful; in particular the manager who made an effort to provide advice and help when I was concerned about my flight. Food is good, with plenty of choice and the cocktails are great! The room is spacious, clean and quiet. There are two pools so the area doesn’t feel crowded Highly recommend

Overall I enjoyed my stay. My only recommendations is that they improve on the WiFi. I had very poor signal in my room. Also, the tv options were very limited and poor quality in the room. Breakfast was free and really nice but food for lunch and dinner is so so. I wish they had more local options. I also wish they played more local music. They seemed to play a lot of pop music through the day so the actual experience of Zanzibar was limited. The staff were really friendly and it’s a beautiful resort.

Decent Stay but WiFi Issues Need Attention

The hotel was decent overall. The rooms were fine - clean and comfortable enough -and breakfast was satisfactory with a reasonable selection. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the WiFi was a major issue. It didn’t work in our room at all, and despite reporting it, the problem was never resolved, which was quite inconvenient. On the plus side, Noel, the manager, was caring and attentive, which was appreciated.

Great place with below average food

4.5* hotel with very nice grounds poll and access to beach. Really enjoyed the stay except the food. You would expect that island nation would know how to cook fish and see food. Extreamly disappointment with food quality and lack of interest even if you make comment that something is not tasty. There was one person Kisa which was top notch and really helpful. And one meal which was amazing Arusha beef fillet - perfectly cooked. Everything else served especially during lunch 2*. I have still enjoyed my stay and could recommend it if food is not your thing

Beautiful property with a nice view being located directly on the beach. However, upon arrival and the duration of my stay there was a sewage smell when I walked into my room. Also there was no hot water so I had to shower with cold water everyday & night which was extremely uncomfortable. One night after calling about it someone came to fix it but that only lasted for one shower afterwards it was back to cold showers. The next time I called to get it fixed, I waited almost an hour before someone came to my room, which was an inconvenience because I needed to get ready to head out. Even then nothing was done about it. The one thing I love to enjoy on vacation is a nice hot shower so the fact that it wasn’t available to me every night was disappointing. Also there were not many enjoyable entertainments at this hotel. Nonetheless, great customer service.

I just want to start off with a HUGE thank you to the staff at this facility!! I've traveled to many islands in the Caribbean & Asia- the Nungwi Dreams has been the best stay EVER! The staff is kind, friendly, knowledgable/intelligent, catering, they all remember your name- I can go on and on!! I learned so much about Tanzania/Zanzibar & Africa in general from the staff, which kept me mentally stimulated- always a plus!! The facility is clean and well kempt. The food, hookah (shish) and drinks are tasty- I had the lobster pomadore 3 times. The chef baked a mini cake for my birthday & sang to me in Swahili!!! The entertainment provided by the local tribes/people is stunning & beautiful to watch. If you are a beach lover like me please take "swim shoes" with you (although the hotel provides)- the water can be a bit rough during the high tide and there a MANY sea urchins that you will need to dodge by wearing shoes. I spent most of my time by the pool which isn't typical for me, but was able to go in and out of the ocean during the low to medium tide. Special shout out to: Mark (manager), Simai, Victor, Baraka (bartender), Latifah, Akia, Daniel, Jaha, Charles, Lisa, Khatib, Tatum & the pool guys (didn't get their names)- you all truly made my stay as a Solo traveler the most amazing thus far (this was my 3rd solo trip). I will be back at some point- hope to see you all there! Thank you!!!

I don’t think I can rave about this place enough. The staff there are eager to please and literally wait on you hand and food. The free breakfast had so many options you will not be hungry until dinner lol. The massages were so amazing I felt so relaxed afterwards. And the best part about the property is the views. The views from our ocean front room was breathtaking. That same view stretches across the whole front of the hotel. Sitting by the one of the pools and enjoying the ocean view as well was my favorite way to relax. I loved it loved it loved it. It was also my birthday, and the staff got me a little cake and sang me happy birthday during dinner, it was so sweet of them! Thank you Nungwi Dreams!

Dream Resort for Vacation

Nungwi Dreams was a gorgeous resort for my 8 day stay in Zanzibar. Nestled in between other resorts and the ocean, the room had a spectacular view from the balcony. We arrived fairly late, and the resort was gated with security present, creating a safe environment for guests. The bed was very comfortable and the room spacious for two people. The two pools were easily accessible and cleaned often, and pools overlook the ocean as well. We opted for half board and the breakfast/dinner options didn’t disappoint.The l restaurant located at the Pool was a great place to grab drinks, pizza and sweet snacks while relaxing near the water. The staff and service was plentiful, although I wish there was a better virtual way to keep track of room charges. The only thing that would make this better would be to have an adults only side. I would stay here again, and truly enjoyed my stay!

Overpcied for what it is and food is terrible

Will try to be as balanced as possible. Good things: - staff very smiley and helpful everywhere -the swimming pools are really good and worth it -the beach is amazing one of the best visited atound the world (water shoes are provided aswell) Bad - food is not great at all...stale bread used in burger, fresh juice not fresh, the dinner buffet has poor quality ingredients and gone off fruit. Breakfast buffet was average although presence of flies was a let down. Overall this isnt 5star food at all and it is the main reason that the review is only 2 stars...£500 a night room but the food is more like 2star hotel food... Service- can be inconsistent...for lunch the wait time is 30minutes regardless of what you order. Sometimes you would ask staff for something and they would disappear and not come back...there is a tendency for them to ignore your request if they didnt understand it. Gym- small but functional but the air conditioning does not work so its like a sauna...again I raised it with a staff member who didnt return Rooms- occasional power cuts and water cut off can be annoying although its transient. Presence of ants in the room occasionally. Tldr: amazing beaches but terrible food not value for money

The chef was wonderful. He took the time to get to know our dietary needs and made us special entrees and desserts. However, having a screen on our balcony door, or a door that closed properly would have gone a long way. Also a mosquito net. One last tip. Do not use a taxi that is not provided for by the resort. We were quoted $20 by one but when we arrived at our destination, he demanded 40. Just a word to the wise

Not worth the price at all!

Not worth the money! Bad service. Unwelcoming. We were told that the pool was closed (closes at 6) yet there were two people in it and they weren't asked to get out. As soon as we got into our room we received a message asking us at what time we were going to leave?! Ants in the bathroom. Most guests seemed to be the all inclusive package type. Only positive thing was the view from the rooftop and the dinner we paid for (the breakfast that was included in the room price was terrible). Definitely not a 5* hotel as advertised. Left Nungwi two days earlier than planned due to the bad quality of service. By far the worst hotel we stayed at during our Zanzibar trip although it was the only one rated 5*.

The hotel sits on the beach , but tye beach and ocean itself is not the best beach in Nungwi for swimming. The Nungwi main beach is a quick taxi drive away however and for me was not an issue.Food at the mantis was good and i found it reasonably priced, and the hotel has some themed nights for dinner with live entertainment. The only issue with food was with breakfast with the chefs not quite getting easy over eggs correct but the breakfast was enjoyable.

Stay Away: Unprofessional Staff, Mediocre Rooms

I chose this place b/c of the good great reviews. So let's start with the good. The views here are really beautiful. The only thing I liked about this hotel was pool area and looking out at the beach. Here is the truth, even though they say that it is on the beach, you really can't swim. The beach is all rocks that you have to walk across it to get to the water. Also, beware of urchins. That was something everyone told us to be mindful of on the beach. The staff was TERRIBLE. I mean beyond unprofessional. The front desk lady was so shady and she also scammed us our first night. We were looking for a taxi, she said she could call one for us & tried to get us to pay 60 USD to go ten minutes round trip. Since it was our first night, we declined and paid one way for 30 USD. We know she was a scammer b/c the rest of the week, when we asked other staff to order a taxi it was 10USD. The entire staff was unorganized and frankly pretty clueless. The breakfast was bland. You had the same food every morning. There were flies all over the pastry section and the staff never made an effort to cover it. To be on the safe side, I ordered omelettes since they were made to order and was not just sitting out. Do yourself a favor & stay at the Z hotel or Doubletree or somewhere in that area on swim-able beach. We took taxi every time we wanted to go to the beach. I don't know what their rooms are like at those hotels but we enjoyed the beach in that area & you can actually swim there.

Stunning and quiet

Beautiful hotel in a quiet, stunning location. The infinity pool overlooks the private beach which is amazing! The only thing we didn’t like was the dining area...it could’ve been located in a nicer, more picturesque part of the hotel or at least decorated in a more aesthetic manner..however overall the place was beautiful and the staff were very helpful and accommodating! It’s a little bit away from the main area of Nungwi however the hotel can organize a taxi or even a boat(which we did!) to Nungwi or even Kendwa!

Very mixed bag. Friendly and attentive service from some staff, others seemed to be going though the motions. Rooms are spacious and quiet, but it's too far from the bars and restaurants to walk, so bear this in mind. PS airport transfers booked through the hotel are very expensive.

Location is less than ideal as it is 5+ minutes away from Nungwi village. Also, we found the food hygiene to be sub-standard. Staff was helpful.

For that price very nice place. Staff was very friendly, breakfast was good. One night dinner was 10/10 but two nights I would say 8/10. Pool area is nice, gym is small and hot (poor air conditioning). Would recommend and visit again.
