Nungwi by Mantis is centrally located to all of the main tourists attractions, safe, secure and very well maintained. The staff are extremely friendly and very accomodating - a special shout out to Lathifa and Barakah that made our stay an absolute pleasure

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.

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.

Everything about this hotel was amazing. The only thing I want to warn other travelers is that the staff will service and treat others first and better. No matter how long you were there first. I’ve noticed this on multiple occasions. This will be the only reason why I won’t book there again.

Amazing place to stay with beautiful views. The staff are so helpful and accommodating. Only down side is that the 24hour room service menu is quite limited in terms of options but besides that, nothing negative to say. Great stay

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!!!
