Panga Chumvi Beach Resort

Great rooms, good bathroom, direct access to the sea

Very basic breakfast. Pancakes were on the menu, but not available. Nobody to do checkout I had power cut for 1 hour Far from the center and no transport available

We had a small but nice room with ocean view and a veranda with direct access to the beach. Clean room, comfortable beds and aircon. The manager, Jamal, and his staff are extremely nice, friendly and helpful. The hotel restaurant serves fresh fish and shellfish and other tasty dishes.

Very nice accommodation directly on the beach. The complex is spacious and quiet. The rooms are nicely furnished and very clean. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Thank you very much for the nice stay!

We spent our honeymoon at Panga Chumwi and really enjoyed it. The staff is very supportive and friendly, especially the waitresses in the restaurant. The friendly General Manager organised snorceling and diving trips for us as well as the airport taxi - everything was very well organised and in time. We booked half board and really liked the meals. You can choose seafood and curry meals which change every day, but you also can choose from the menu every meal you like. They offer also pizza and burger, but excellence of the cook is definiately in preparing seafood. The hotel is very clean, they clean the whole hotel including the park every morning. On our last evening we had a very romatic beach dinner. The beach is very quiet, there are no shops around the hotel, you have to walk about 40 minutes along the white beach to the next small town. When there is low tide you can't swim in the sea, but the pool is very inviting. Don't forget your bathing shoes, as there are many sea urchins in the sea.

The water pressure is low in the first floor.

The room near the sea, the tidedff

Chairs of restaurant lack of refrigerator in the room

Nice place, the beach is beautiful. It was empty when I visited.

The restaurant is overpriced

We really enjoyed Panga Chumvi, we enjoyed it so much that we did two bookings there on our Zanzibar holiday. The resort itself is very well kept-up, you would always see staff around making sure to keep everything is clean and tidy. Big compliment also to housekeeping, our room was extremely well looked after daily. All the other staff were also friendly and helpful, especially the manager Jamal, who also assists with booking of snorkelling trips, etc. Mnemba island is just opposite and there!is also a reef in front of the hotel, where you can walk to at low tide and see some interesting coral formations with colonies of small, colourful fish. Just make sure to wear shoes because there are literally thousands of sea urchins everywhere and it’s hard to avoid contact, especially when swimming. A big plus is the nice pool area, which allows swimming when the ocean doesn’t.

Bed was very comfortable. Place for total relaxation. Nice sandy beach suitable for long walks.

Too expensive for what the hotel offers, especially the Restaurant. There is nothing much to do. (a bit boring) Internet was very slow. A taxi to the Airport costs 40 - 50 Euros. There are no other options available.
