For solitude it is great. The spa is wonderful but for activities, there's absolutely nothing to do. It's an hour drive to everything. The property always provided transportation when requested. The tour operator on site will customize anything you want. The low tide is so far out, you can't swim in the ocean. It's a nice property with one restaurant but I wanted activities and the ability to swim in the ocean. The staff was wonderful!!

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!

This resort seems as if it’s brand new; every detail has been considered. The staff is stellar, going out of their way to make you feel welcome. The included breakfast is delicious and you are Literally steps from the beach.
I had a partial ocean view room and was upgraded for my last two nights- both rooms were great but the ocean view, which was visible from the bed, was great.
It’s a fantastic getaway location.

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.ANTONIO EUCLIDESBrazil - 6.0Scored 6.0

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...
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.

I did not visit Pongwe town.
I did not visit Pongwe town. I stayed in a luxury boutique hotel north of the town as I like a quiet holiday. The only problem was the tide leaving an unattractive expanse of muddy rocks. The hotel's pontoon helped with access to the sea when the tide was high.carolineEswatini - 10Scored 10

The accommodation and restaurant in Weavers Lodge was outstanding and the beach was idyllic. The tide tends to be out until about 3pm (July/Aug stay) and there are some sharp rocks - if your feet are particularly fragile, water shoes are a good idea. We cycled to the next village - an enjoyable afternoon trip. Very friendly locals.JoanneUnited Kingdom

- From $132 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 122 reviewsAmazing place! Probably the most beutiful place where ever I stayed. Direct access to the beach, the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing, we just chillin on the balcony for hours every day, listening the sounds of the silence. I felt if Im dreaming many times. The suite is literally few steps from the ocean. Beautiful hotel and wonderful employees who helped us in every case. I recommend it to everyone who appreciates peace and quiet.
TommyAbkhazia - From $114.45 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 573 reviewsI'm a travel writer and have stayed in beautiful hotels all over the world, but I have never experienced the level of hospitality and warmth that I received at Pongwe Bay Resort. The room was exceptional and very comfortable; I felt extremely safe there as a solo woman. The food was all top-notch. And at every point, there were employees who wanted to make sure I was having a great time. My only regret is that my stay was too brief.MargaretUnited States of America

The villas, pool and restaurant were all stunningly beautiful. The grounds were kept looking pristine and gardeners were out every day helping to keep things tidy. Our room was cleaned every day and our beds turned down every evening. The hotel managers were really helpful when advising us on trips around the island and places to visit.

I loved how intimate it was - it probably has twenty rooms max so felt quaint and boutiquish. It was also right by the water so meals are eaten with a view of the water and you can chill all day on the sunbeds right in front of the hotel and in front of the ocean.
