Tikitam Palms Boutique Hotel, hotel in Pongwe

Set in Pongwe and featuring a private beach area on the East Coast of Zanzibar, Tikitam Palms Boutique Hotel features a swimming pool at the beach area with a pool bar.

The beachfront location is nice. Feels very secluded, which was a welcome respite. Most of the staff were welcoming and the food / entertainment was enjoyable. We also really enjoyed the massage!

TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar, hotel in Pongwe

Located in Pongwe, a few steps from Pongwe Beach, TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness center and a garden.

Our stay at Toa Hotel was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and genuinely cared for. The team went above and beyond to make our honeymoon truly unforgettable, arranging special touches that made each day feel unique and memorable. A romantic beach dinner was one of the many highlights, a beautiful moment that we’ll cherish forever. Everything was seamless, and the level of care exceeded all our expectations. A huge thank you to the wonderful staff—Ahmed Muhamed from housekeeping, Eric the manager, and Sicilia at the reception—for their kindness, warmth, and incredible service. We truly had the time of our lives and can’t wait to return!

The service was excellent! Everyone made sure I was taken care of at all times. Whatever I needed, they were there. It's a very family oriented place and everyone is genuinely nice. They also gave me little gifts after I left and before I left, which was very thoughtful.

    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.

    There is not much to do in the local area other than visit other hotel resorts. We did visit a local school to make a donation and I would advise bringing something with you to donate e.g notebooks, sweets, money

    Small remote holiday village with the white sand beach but not having good beach maintenance (seaweed, some dirt on the beach). Little bit far from anything in Zanzibar (far from Stone city and airport, far from spectacular Nungwi and Paje beach). No bars, restaurants, shops and infrastructure outside the holiday resort due to remote location and low density of tourists.

    At first sight you can say....what to do here ?....no shops, just some local fruits selling points, no crowded areas, less traffic than anywhere but more nature than anywhere around. It's exactly the opposite comparing with Paje. If you need a quiet, family friendly, uncrowded spot.....ask for Pongwe. And if you want to understand why I'm saying these....just go on Pongwe beach when low tide is there.

    This place has a great no shoes policy and although there is a new fancy pants hotel not far away pongwe Bay resort is the real deal....authentic rooms and gorgeous thatched bungalows with all the mod cons which let you know you are in exotic zanzibar (not like the 'swish but you could be anywhere new places). Gardens are beautiful and all the staff are simply delightful

    Pros: -Huge villa, with nice porch and cute little plonge pool; and perfect view onto the beach -Pongwe is THE most remote place in Zanzibar still, so book if you want total tranquility (but also lack of any kind of shop;) -Nice bedrooms, with good airco -Part of a consortium with another villa and a small restaurant.
