Set in Nungwi, 400 metres from Nungwi Beach, Canary Nungwi Hotel & Free SPA offers accommodation with a fitness centre, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Featuring room service, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant, a bowling alley and a terrace. The hotel provides an indoor pool, evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk.

I was very positively surprised by the quality of staff, the food and the cleanliness of our rooms and bathrooms vs. the price we paid. The managers were incredibly helpful in terms of providing any info, items we needed, or even having a laugh together at the tennis table. The atmosphere was very chill and most importantly the staff was trustworthy - we didn't fear loosing the money or luggage. Plus, the best octopus in Nungwi ;)

We stayed at Gaia Villas for ten days this june, and we had a wonderful time. The hotel is located just a short walk away from the famous Nungwi beach. The amazing Kendwa beach is also within walking distance, especially during low tide. The hostess and all of her staff were so nice and helpful to us. They gave us many great recommendations for activities, sights and places to eat in the nearby areas. The hostess booked a spectacular snorkeling and dolphin tour for us, which we holeheartedly recommend! We had never tried snorkeling before. The hostess gave us many helpful advice regarding how to get the most out of it and how to choose and adjust snorkeling gear. We highly recommend Gaia Villas and we would love to come back in a not too distant future. Great place for young couples!

The property has pool and garden views, and is 1.4 km from Nungwi Beach. There is a restaurant serving African cuisine, and free private parking is available.

Very beautiful place, decorated with love. The property is not so far from the beach (app. 10 minutes); it's small, so not too many people and you can relax near the pool. We loved our room, which was clean and tidy. The owner and the staff are extremely friendly and were ready to help us every moment. We checked out in the night and were given the take-out breakfast. It was so sweet :)

    The hotel is at the heart of Nungwi beach right on the beach. You can enjoy the ocean view while relaxing on the infinity pool. Nice private beach. The cafeteria is set up right on the beach so you enjoy the breeze while eating.

    The location of the accommodation right on the beachfront was phenomenal, with amazing sunrises every morning reminiscent of an English breakfast. The hosts were always quick to respond and help. The room was very clean and tidied up daily. The air conditioning in the room, especially on an island where it gets hot, is fantastic. Soap, shampoo, and towels were always available upon request, which made for a pleasant stay for travelers.

    The property has a really nice pool with jacuzzi and a great restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they provide you everything. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and very clean. You can also enjoy a massage (extra charge) which I definitely recommend. Also they have a brand new beach bar, right on the beach, it is amazing to spend time there sunbathing and enjoying the marvelous sunset. Amazing music with live dj!

    Lovely simple hotel at the amazing location. Right on the lovely Nungwi beach. Everyday you can watch the beautiful sunset and take long walks along the beach. A lots of restaurants and shops at walking distance. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Every morning different fruits. The avocado salad, which was delicious. Also the food you can choose from the sit menu is tasty. During dinner they have tables right on the beach, which is lovely.

    The location is out of this world; it is right on the beach and whether you are sat at the restaurant, the pool or main bar you always have a view on the ocean. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food and drink offers a large variety and the bar staff will make any cocktails on request.

    What's not to like. A lovely introduction by Iman which was a first in Zanzibar. A perfect spot right on the beach, breakfast overlooking the ocean. .. perfect. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. Plenty of loungers cushions and parasols for shade. An added bonus was an off licence just round the corner to purchase a cold beer 🍺 whilst Watching the evening sunset. Lots of restaurants a stone's throw away if you don't eat in the hotel. Although we ate elsewhere the food in the hotel looked yummy....

    Warere Beach Hotel is located right on the beach. Our bungalow was overlooking the water and the pool. Because of that we could hear the ocean at night, which was amazing. The room was very clean and it had everything you need to shower, a safe and coffee maker. The staff is great and the food is very good. You can reach the village center by food or taxi. Walking on the beach to the nearby hotels is highly recommended.
