Tribute Portfolio Hotels in Nungwi

The hotel is located on the shore of the Indian Ocean, with white sand and clear waves, and the scenery is beautiful. It's just that the location is a bit remote, and it's too inconvenient to travel. It's 60 kilometers from Zanzibar Airport to the hotel, and the taxi costs $65, and it takes an hour and a half to drive. It's also $50 from the hotel to Stone Town! The road about two kilometers from the hotel to the main road outside is full of washboard roads, and it takes nearly 20 minutes to drive.

The location of the hotel is very good, in the core area of tourism, there are various sea sports, and the white sandy beach is particularly beautiful The ecological environment is very good. You can see all kinds of marine life when you catch the sea. I even saw a family of sea anemones and clownfish. The disadvantage is that the room is relatively small and the facilities are relatively simple It should be noted that we found the legendary man-of-war jellyfish on the beach, so be careful not to step on it

Our stay was truly exceptional, from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The resort has a great location two minutes walk from white sandy Beach with Crystal clear turquoise water. The staff was really friendly willing to assist in every request. They do assist you with transportation and booking you your required trips. The resort has two indoor pools and very nice rooms. I would give it 3/5 for breakfast, Other than that, they do have a restaurant right by the beach, which serves amazing food with beautiful sunset view and they do have entertainment every other night.

Stayed @ Smiles Beach Hotel for 3 nights, 4 days. Meal plan was Half board (Breakfast & Dinner). Road Access The road to the hotel starts off ok, but towards the middle has HUGE pot holes and after rain it’s completely filled up with mud. The driver has to move very slowly to avoid any damage to the car. On arrival On arrival we were greeted warmly with a nice cold drink, check in was quick and we were taken to our rooms. We booked 2 rooms. Both were located upstairs but not in the same building. To get to the rooms we have to climb a spiral staircase. Rooms The upper floor has 2 rooms side by side. The room door is a split door with a sliding lock and a padlock. There were a few outdoor furniture in the balcony area. The room itself looked very clean and smelled clean. Coffee & tea station, LCD TV, Mini Fridge, Safety deposit box. The bed is built in to the room. The orientation of the bed is wired. I am an average height guy, 5’8”, and when I lie down t sleep, from my ankle down is off the bed. But if the bed was orientated the other way, there would be more than enough room. The rooms are old and needs some TLC, ceiling is wood and black dirt keeps falling from the cracks. We were told that the room service will come over around 7.30 at every night to “turn down” the room. Technically, spray some bug spay outside the room door and setup the mosquito nets. From our 3 nights, this happened only on the last day. That too, the net had a 1cm hole. Bathroom Pretty large bathroom, basic toiletries available (No body lotion or dental kit). The toilets are clean. The sink is a little on the high side. If there are children, it’s a bit hard to reach to brush teeth etc. Garden, pool and private beach front Garden is kept very neat and tidy. We saw a gardener every morning sweeping the grounds. Pool is clean. The tiles on the outside of the pool were cracked and need to be careful while walking. Especially with bare feet. Private beach front is nice and clean. Its, on a higher elevation so you get a nice view. Hawkers and Masai beach boys The are friendly, but can become a bit annoying after some time. So best advice is to be polite, say no thank you. (they are not allowed in the private beach area) Food & Restaurant Breakfast was not bad, it’s a buffet style menu and had a decent variety, each morning something different. Sometimes in the morning there a few flies around and will hover over the fresh fruit. Dinner was a la carte menu and different for each day as well. The downside is that the food quality drops when they have more occupancy. The biggest issue we had was the meal service times. We had to wait almost 1 hour between entree and main and another 45 min for dessert. This was the case every day. There are few felines (cats) inside the restaurant premises. They roam freely and sometimes come and rub themselves on your legs. There were a few other guests that were not very comfortable with this. Also note thi

Perfect week, not having many bookings we had a free upgrade of our room, in front of the sea view beach, wonderful! The staff is super nice and available, manager Cyrus also organized a surprise dinner on the beach for us, very pleasant! The sea in front of the resort is amazing, subject to the phenomenon of the floods, often so it is difficult to bath, but walking along the sand languages that emerge the landscape is crazy! For the tours you can book on site with a local tour operator, Abdul is taking care of it, who has satisfied us in every request, also organizing private tours in such a way that they are free to decide on movements and timetables, It was nice and fun to spend time together! The position of Tanzanite is good, walking out c is a few steps the Baraka aquarium where you can notice with the turtles, and 10 minutes drive c is nunungwi beach, adding another 10 minutes you get to kendwa that are two of the most beautiful beaches of Zanzibar.

I arrived initially with a tour group but stayed an extra five nights by myself. The staff at the hotel were great - in order not to move me out of the room I was already in, I was allowed to stay in a better room than what I had paid for, which was very kind! The rooms were very clean, the beds comfortable, and the hotel’s beach was great - being situated just above the formal beach means that you aren’t troubled by people trying to sell you tours etc (which happened a lot when I walked along the beach below and when we went for a Dhow cruise at another beach!). The room had aircon and was attractively made up. The other thing to mention that was good was that it had one-way glass, so I could see out when I had the curtains open but people couldn’t see into my room (very important with the floor to ceiling windows for the ocean view!). The staff were all very hardworking - the restaurant staff were polite, and made conversation with me, which was nice as a solo traveller! To mention as well, I had said to the cleaner that I liked the flowers that she left in my room, and each day after if she saw me on the beach, would come over with an extra flower for me - which was nice. The only thing to mention otherwise was that sometimes the food was a bit slow to come, but I generally found in the evenings that if you arrive early it is quicker. Otherwise a really great stay at the Zanzibari - thank you for looking after me so well.

My Blue Hotel is very beautiful and clean. The pool is the absolute highlight. From the pool you can enjoy the sunset super. At the beach there were always many free beds so you had a choice of place at any time. The staff distributed cocoa nuts on the beach daily. The staff is very friendly, food delicious and fresh, the evening program was varied, a very clean hotel. We would recommend it to everyone further. The location and the beach are superb. The hotel offers massages at a good price. We enjoyed the holiday in full trains. The internet was usually bad, however. In the room, there was little reception. This has potential for improvement.
