4 out of 5
Staff: great Room: great Pool: great Food: great Beach: not great at all (you are constantly approached) Walk to beach: not great at all (you are constantly approached). If there could be a way to stop that. Nungwi Beach (and Zanzibar) actually would be a really nice place to visit. We felt harassed and would not recommend Nungwi Beach to anyone. We wanted to stay at the quiet end of Nungwi Beach. We felt we were constantly approached. More on the quite side than on the main beach.

Dear Sebastian, thank you for sharing the experience. I am sorry that you were all the time approached. We are on the more calm place and from the experience there is nobody approaching our guests at the beach bar as that is private area and we do not allow such activity.
