Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco

Really good location at the top of the island. Easy walking distance to plenty of other bars and restaurants along the beach if you want to explore. Fisherman's grill and Z beach bar are great for food or drinks. The hotel is perfect spot with fantastic views of the beach. The staff really make the experience with everyone being so friendly. They have entertainment on every other night from Monday with a variety of bands or shows taking place outside the restaurants and bars. Nice to sit a relax in the evening. As with anywhere you get beach boys trying to sell everything. You don't get bothered whilst you're at the hotel but once you step out they will come to you. Keep walking or a polite no thanks and they let you move on. Never once felt at risk throughout the whole trip. Beautiful place to visit.

Beautiful location and a great place to spak in the beauty and beaches. We did the all-inclusive, and while everything was adequate, it would have been nice to have a couple more dishes where the quality was better than adequate. The same can be said for the wait staff. The rest of the folks were happy, friendly, and accommodating. This included, security, groundskeepers, outside bars, spa, and front desk.

We had the absolute pleasure of spending our honeymoon at this stunning beach resort – and it was simply perfect! The beach area is absolutely breathtaking: soft, white sand, water ind different shades of blue and nice sunbeds to relax in peace. What impressed us the most was the exceptional friendliness of the staff. Every single person was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly special – definitely a highlight of our stay! The food was also very good. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the variety was nice, everything was fresh, and the flavors were exceptional. We especially loved that they offered plenty of vegetarian options. The pool area with the pool bar was another highlight. We enjoyed sipping cocktails right in the water and soaking up the sun on the comfortable loungers in a relaxed atmosphere. The drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are very tasty! Security guards are 24/7 present and therefore the beach area ist very secure and you can leave you‘re belongings while taking a swim. Cleanliness throughout the entire resort was also good. Both the rooms and all public areas were always well-maintained. For us, this resort was the perfect choice for our honeymoon. Romance, relaxation, and luxury – all perfectly combined. We highly recommend the Beach Resort and are already looking forward to coming back!

It’s a beautiful well-maintained resort that offers different dining and drink package. There is swimming pool and right on the beach. Low tide mornings were so much fun, there were so many sea cucumbers, sea stars of different colors, urchin, fish. Local women look for shells as decor, boys looking for fish and men fixing boats. Very peaceful beautiful

We chose Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco because we are Marriott Bonvoy members. The hotel is the first line to the ocean. No doubt, it is an advantage. The bad news is that being right to the ocean you cannot swim because the water is very close during the tide-ins and the coastline bottom is covered with the seaweeds rich in the sea world including urchin colonies. You will need aqua shoes to swim or walk a little bit along the coastline where there is better area with the whiter sand and more clear water. Or you can stay at Nungwi hotel swimming pool or its private beach with security which is great as you are not annoyed by the beachboys. Other cons and pros of the hotel: Pros: -The hotel area is quiet because it is located at the beginning of the beach line (it can be a con for party animals 😊) -Though the beach area is covered with the seaweeds it is clean in general. It is regularly cleaned by the hotel staff -The hotel has a beautiful well-tended garden. It is always nice to walk through heading to the beach or restaurant -There are amazing show programs with acrobats, national dancers, music bands and singing in the evening -We liked hotel restaurant “Fisherman’s Grill” with diversified menu (see photos) and nice service Cons: -The breakfasts were mediocre with the poor food selection which was good for us since we are on the diet 😊 No chance to overeat -The room was spacious but very, very outdated! It looks like old grandma’s closet (see photos). The room desperately needs refurbishment. Nevertheless, we rated the hotel 5* because it had outstanding service! Very open, smiling, friendly and helpful staff. Truly recommended.
