Everything! Absolutely everything! The place is a piece of heaven! Don't think of going to any other hotel in Zanzibar. The staff here are exceptional. All of them. Frank at the reception is a true gentleman; he knows what the guests like, and he makes it ready even before I ask. Regina at the restaurant makes your meal an unforgettable experience. She is always smiling, and she gives all her heart to make you happy. Irene is like another sister for me. So kind and respectful. Also, the guys at the restaurant and the guys who take you to the shore by boat. True gems. This hotel is all about the staff. For me, they were family. I love you and I will return.

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.

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.

The accommodation and restaurant in Weavers Lodge was...
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.
-The hotel is really small, with only six rooms, therefore the privacy was greatly valued, considering we traveled for our honeymoon.
-The attention from the staff to every small detail was impressive, making sure our stance was as comfortable as possible.
-The food from the restaurant was delicious, and every day they would change the breakfast and snack options.
-Before arriving, Margarita responded to all of our inquiries in a timely manner and once we reached the property, Frank made sure we were always taken care of.
Breakfast is simple but very delicious. It is all fresh and home made just like dinner - delicious. There is daily menu with quite a variety of food to choose - it was all very tasty.
The beach is right in front of the hotel - however, there is a high and low tide which does not allow you to swim all throughout the day. Nonetheless it doesn’t stop one from enjoying and loving the place.
Staff was very polite and nice.
The property was extremely clean.
Sea lodge - romantic, cosy, comfortable - absolutely beautiful!
New, well-maintained, clean, nice pool, ocean right under your feet, very nice staff, Very affordable prices. A place for people who want silence, nothing more
Located somewhere... No entertainment, you can walk along the beach in 30 minutes to the place where there are 4 nice hotels where you can eat well, and there is also a hotel and restaurant of a small island. Check the prices before.... Not everyone will enjoy them
I love everything about this oasis in Pongwe.
The very Kind staff, the swimming pool, the food, thé room, the hoooot water and the vibes. I will go back there as soon as possible. Thé beach Is only 1 min walk From the hôtel but there is a lot of sea Grass. I enjoyed thé wonderful sunset over there. You can enjoy the beach in Kikwenga, only 5-10min away by boda boda (moto taxi).
Beautiful authentic hotel, with an amazing private beach that looks like it was taken out of a postcard. Thanks to the bay, the low tide was soft, relatively to the east and south sides of Zanzibar. Great restaurant with a beautiful view and varied food. The hotel highlight in our opinion was the staff - always kind and smiling, willing to help with any request.
Beautiful beach spot, rooms and facilities are charming, comfortable and with excellent taste. Staff were very nice and attentive, food was great! (very impressed with how they managed to get such fresh varieties, food presentation was also spot on!). I enjoyed myself so much that I extended my stay, TWICE. I will surely stay there again if I get the chance.
Very nice little paradise right by the quiet Pongwe beaches! The rooms are comfy, clean with all necessary amenities. The gardens and communal areas are well organised and beautiful.
Clean pool and the staff are very friendly.
The food in the restaurant is very delicious with lots of variety and the prices are fair.
The hotel is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is excellent. The spa is also very nice with a good range of treatments. The beach area is nice (just be mindful that during low tide you need to walk if you want to swim). The overall atmosphere is very relaxing.
We had a very warm welcome from the staff and everybody was very polite. The rooms were very nice and clean. The resort is beautifuly arranged and decorated. The pool is very good. Beach is right there, but be aware of tides on Zanzibar. Breakfast was very tasty and they offer multiple breakfast options.
