Poa Poa Bungalows

Chill, safe, cozy, clean, small, calm, good food

All was good. Small rooms, we had all that we needed and more. A sugestion would be a more Island-chill playlist, but that is just our taste.. very kind and Well run place.

Location and air con! Rooms really tastefully decorated.

Rooms very intimate so no private outdoor space

I absolutely enjoyed Poa Poa and would love to come back. Every detail at the hotel seems hand picked and made with love. The staff is very friendly and attentive, the food was amazing, including the cocktails/mocktails. I also tried a massage which was very good. I like that there are plants which serve as a natural separation between hotel and beach. There is live music twice per week which was really lovely. The beach is quiet in comparison to some spots in Zanzibar. My overall stay was really relaxing.

The air conditioning could be stronger.

I had the pleasure of spending two entire weeks at Poa Poa Bungalows. There, I met a lot of wonderful people. A special thanks goes to Cristina, Paul, and John, who served us amazing food with a smile and kindness. The cleaning crew did an amazing job, and every day they decorated the bed with flowers. The food, as mentioned, was first-class, with a breakfast that fills you up—the avocado toast is a must! The bungalows also offer a pick-up service from/to the airport and live music twice a week. The beach in front is an amazing place to explore; you can find a lot of life in the pools during low tide. The beach is also well maintained thanks to the bungalows' crew. The bungalows also offer the possibility to celebrate weddings directly on the beach in front. Angela and her colleagues will do an amazing job to make that day unforgettable. This stay was way better than a resort because here, you feel at home. And this is also thanks to a special guest—an orange cat (we named her Whitney)—who keeps you company and makes you forget about everything else. We can't wait to come back!

Poa Poa is a truly magical place! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely comfortable and relaxed. Our stay was wonderful, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Zanzibar. The staff's warmth and hospitality were exceptional. They went above and beyond to assist us with some travel issues (unrelated to the hotel), and we are incredibly grateful for their help. The food was also a highlight – every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. Thank you again for an unforgettable experience, and a special shout-out to Wiktoria and the other gentleman (whose name I unfortunately don't recall) for their outstanding service and dedication.

Excellent property and staff

There were some electricity/water glitches here and there, but it was resolved by staff.

Great location at the beach and good, relaxed atmosphere. Staff was helpful; supporting in organising taxi's, preparing early breakfast before leaving to the airport and extending our stay. Rooms were clean and well organised. We would stay here again!

If we knew how much we would love this place we would have stayed here the whole time we were on the island, taking day trips to explore. The bungalows were newly constructed with every detail thought of such as universal outlets on both sides of the bed and a fully adjustable shower with great water pressure. The food was delicious, the staff happy and kind, and the live music on some nights created a festive atmosphere.
