Panga Chumvi Beach Resort

I loved my room, it was facing the ocean spectacular views and I loved the hospitality Jamal and his team gave me.

The wifi was poor

The location is very nice, very close to hotel. Staff is helpful and Bed is good to sleep

No

The location is excellent on a quiet clean beach. So if you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to be. It is just as beautiful as Nungwi but without the crowd and bars and noise. Though we did go to Nungwi for a sunset cruise which made us appreciate Matweme beach even more. Resort was easy to locate as it was well marked from the main road. The staff were excellent and welcoming. Very helpful in planning for things to do and booking transport. Rooms are basic but spacious, clean and with AC and fan and hot water. Beds were comfy. A clean small pool that has a baby pool. They have a generator that ran even the A/C so we were not inconvenienced by the frequent blackouts. Breakfast was okay..fruits, eggs, pancakes bread and butter, fresh juice and they made ma adrican tea. So definitely recommend it for families and anyone looking for peace and quiet.

No water in the room you have to pay but they gave us for free. Restaurant prices were quite hefty. Husband was not happy that a beer goes for $4. Our soap was not replaced ..used it untill it was paper thin.

Excellent

Everything was perfect. Delicious food, very kind staff, absolutely loved my room right on the beach. Book BH1 if you can!

One night (out of five) was a late night party until 1-2am. Otherwise, ultimate peace and tranquillity.

Our recent stay at this Zanzibar hotel was simply fantastic. We were blown away by: Exceptional Staff: The kindness and helpfulness of the staff, including room service and managers, made us feel incredibly welcome. Beachfront Bliss: The hotel's prime location on the beach allowed us to wake up to breathtaking sunrises and enjoy lazy afternoons in hammocks under swaying palm trees. Aesthetic Beauty: The hotel's design seamlessly blended with its surroundings, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere. Seaside Breakfasts: The terrace overlooking the sea offered a perfect spot for delicious breakfasts with stunning views. Sunrise Magic: Waking up to the sunrise over the Indian Ocean was a magical experience. In summary, our stay was a dream come true, thanks to the wonderful staff, beachfront location, hotel's beauty, peaceful hammock moments, seaside breakfasts, and mesmerizing sunrises. We can't wait to return to this Zanzibar gem.

Our recent stay at this Zanzibar hotel was absolutely delightful, and we're already looking forward to returning. However, we did notice a couple of areas that could use some improvement: Uncomfortable Flooring: One minor issue was the discomfort caused by the wooden parquet flooring in our room. It had a tendency to pinch our feet, which was slightly inconvenient. Unreliable Internet: Another point of concern was the unreliable internet connection. In today's interconnected world, having a consistent and fast internet connection is essential, and unfortunately, it didn't meet our expectations during our stay. Despite these minor drawbacks, our overall experience at the hotel was outstanding.

The resort location is exactly as we were looking for, so relaxing and nice. I already miss the hammock between the coconut trees and my room terrace watching the sea and hearing the calming sea waves. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The resort gives genuine and authentic Zanzibar appearance and vibes. The pool and the pool area is nice. The sea swim was very enjoyable at the high tide and the sand is so nice that we could play all day and night. Short walks on the beach to neighbouring places. The night sky with glittering stars by 11pm is amazing and magnificent. Special thanks to Cara who made sure we are staying at nice rooms and supported our check in. Jamal, the resort manager was beyond words can express how wonderful and hospitable he is. Awazi was great, attentive and responsive made sure our check-in was smooth and he was welcoming (we all miss you Awazi). The housekeeping staff headed by Paulina (Super nice person) were great and efficient. The evening housekeeping and spraying team were very nice and 😁 joyful. Aysha, Harriet, Jessica, Halima, Zaineb, Kayaka, Kalvin and the remaining restaurant staff were amazing; professional, friendly and pleasant. The food was excellent and delicious (world class chefs and kitchen team). The Maasai show on the beach is unforgettable. Also noticed the patrons who come to stay at the resort are from all over the world and generally nice people. The resort overall was safe, friendly and happy. The facilities are well maintained and the landscaping is beautiful. Our activities and transports efficiently arranged by Jamal and Awazi. This is a resort that I highly recommend for everyone; single traveller or couples or family. We have stayed 8 wonderful days here and we absolutely shall return back again. Once again, THANKS Panga Chumvi Resort.

It's the perfect location for people who want to be out of the tourist fever. The beach is Marvelous for long walks and relax. The swimming pool is ok with a session for young kids too. The restaurant is very good and the breakfast too! People are very gentle and tried to help. We will be back again

Maybe the music in the restaurant sometimes. But this is subjective. The room was a little small. Credit card is very comfortable especially when someone is traveling, but not many places in Zanzibar offer this option.

I really enjoyed my time at Panga Chumvi. It’s located on a quiet beach with not so many beach boys and masais running around. The territory is rather big and well maintained. Rooms are clean, hot water, toiletries, kettle, mosquito net, a/c in place. Breakfast is good. I would recommend to take at least the half board option as there are not so many places around to eat and food in the restaurant is way better than in an average local restaurant in my experience on Zanzibar. The staff is great, not intrusive, polite and Jamal makes sure you get what you want from your vacation.

The only thing that caused confusion was the room location, in description it says with sea view and expectations were that it would be in the front line, in reality the room was in the back behind restaurant and there was only little part of ocean seen. If it was called for example as a room with partial sea view, I wouldn’t have those expectations. But I was lucky that the hotel wasn’t full at the time and I got another room that was perfect for me.

Nice clean room, wifi, airconditioning, pool, garden, very friendly staff, great food, personal service, local atmosphere, beautiful quiet beach, easy to organize diving to Mnemba Island, perfect place to relax and for a getaway

It is perhaps somewhat difficult to get around without a car or organising taxi’s
