Great private villa in bwejuu just minutes by car to pajee beach our stay included free breakfast from a wide menu which was awesome, the owner is very welcoming and helpful in introducing everything around, the villa is on the beach directly, the beach isnt so crowded only locals and people renting villas around which is a plus for us, the villas has a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen also and is cleaned daily by the housekeeper, highly recommend 👍🏼

Villa Unaweza wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience. It was a home away from home, filled with impeccable hospitality, thoughtful touches(surprised me with the best cake on my birthday), and unforgettable moments. If you're seeking a slice of paradise with a side of genuine human connection, look no further. Sylvia, Aga, Fau, Fridah, Felix and Denge made me feel truly welcomed and cared for.Also... if you're looking for some pampering, do not miss the massage and body scrub...it was the most blissfully indulgent hour of my entire trip!

Everything at Marafiki Bungalows was exceptional. We ate all our meals there and everything was made from scratch - a variety of freshly baked pastries in the morning, fresh bread in the evening, home-made jams, fresh seafood, etc.. It was so delicious. There were sufficient sun-loungers and day beds for all the guests.

Small and intimate. Room was great, even had Netflix. Staff was superb. Patio with plunge pool and seating was wonderful. Sea side pool was a dream. Perfect place to just get away from it all and do nothing but get spoiled and relax. Definately will return.

After an easy-peasy pickup from the ferry in Stone Town, we arrived at the Villa to be welcomed by a super friendly team and a romantic seafood dinner set for us right on the beach. It was perfection from the first moment! We spent a relaxing weekend enjoying the pool, walking on the beach, playing games, swimming in the ocean and eating the delicious food prepared by the Chef. We felt safe, pampered and well taken care of. Mr. Davies made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back!

It was our second stay at Qambani and once again the experience was outstanding. From the pick-up at the airport to the drop-off everything was handled professionally and extremely well by the team. If you are looking for a very private atmosphere in an luxury and attentive environment Qambani is a safe bet.

Kiwengwa Beach Resort surpassed all expectations, and the outstanding service provided by Saidia at reception, along with Aied, Mussa, and Petro, elevated the experience to unparalleled heights. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail contributed to the seamless enjoyment of this remarkable resort. With its enchanting location and luxurious amenities, Kiwengwa Beach Resort goes beyond deserving a mere 5 stars – it's a destination that stands out for its excellence. Highly recommended for an unforgettable stay.
