Glad I took a gamble and stayed at this rustic boutique hotel. Its was totally worth it and sat quite well with my budget. As a 1st timer in Zanzibar I chose to stay @ Nungwi but was flooded with options of specific hotel to stay at without breaking the bank or having regrets about choice. It was my 1st time over expericing and out dorsy reception ...they sure made that style work for them.Thd front office staff were so welcomig with a wet hand towel and a cold glass of hibiscus drink. House keeping was also top notch cleaning 2ce everyday and sorting insecticides at night to keep the pesky skits away. The AC sure work well good water pressure clean beddings ample supple of tea and coffee in the room. Didn't bother with tge tv though. The chef on duty on the BBQ night dod a phenomenal job on my choice of grilled red snapper. The location was just perfect for needs. Met and had a good chat with both the female American and male Asian Manager. Highly recommended. Was so impressed I extended my stay by a night.

This is not a 4 star hotel, but great staff.

The hotel is in desperate need of renovation and update. The rooms and furniture is really like a 2 star. The hotel is not value for money. The staff is really nice, friendly and helpful. The breakfast and the views from the restaurant is nice.

The room was comfortable, everyone was friendly, the ocean views were remarkable, great swimming. - food was ok - pool was cloudy - ants around the pool - beach boys were a bother and annoying - the hotels and areas around this hotel were awful, run down, dirty Yogurt, cut up fruit, and granola will go a long way for a breakfast option.

What a wonderful place. I wasn't too sure about the place when I drove through the gates, but I was soon more than pleased. A small, private beach, a great restaurant with a view of the ocean and not to mention the magnificent view of the sunset. Fantastic service. The rooms were a little dated, but that doesn't matter when the rest is so great. Just a part of the charm. Highly recommended.

Dirty pool , expensive!

It’s old , and generally low maintenance, pool is terrific and dirty. Breakfast ok, beach outside hotel is good, but much better 200 m further away. Not sure how you can defend 300 usd a day 😂👀 I do not recommend this hotel , only if your rate is a 100 usd a night

Nungwi beach

The location is amazing. It’s a nice spot along a busy section of the beach. There is a small pool which is nice to have, and you get attention all the time. The staff is very friendly and often when I travel I end up befriending both locals and the hotel staff. I found new friends here too. I had most of my evening meals in the restaurant. But went out during the day.

This place is fine. The beach is beautiful and the owner is accommodating. However, the rooms had an unusual smell that didn’t go away. The restaurant had a wide variety of food but none of the things we tried were great. Just passable. The pool was well kept and the security guards were great at keeping the solicitors away (there were constantly people approaching us on the beach but the guards kept them away on property). It was very difficult to get to the hotel but they do offer a shuttle from the airport that is a better price than the taxis.

We spent four nights at the hotel before staying at a large, expensive all-inclusive resort. After the all-inclusive, we came back to Double A, which we preferred. We enjoyed the personal service, being steps from the beach and the swimming pool that was shaded by beautiful flowering trees. The breakfasts which were included were excellent. The bartenders, chefs and waitstaff were all friendly and attentive.The dining area overlooks the ocean and the food was delicious. There is also a pool table that is free to use. We felt very safe and well cared for during our stay. I highly recommend staying at Double A Nungwi Beach Hotel. -Tom and Elly Norby from Alaska

I was impressed by the professionalism amd the servoce from the Manager and Staff. I encountered a problem becaise the description of the room (sea view) is misleading..The view was from the balcony and it was only a partial view. I had high expectations of being able to see the sea from my bed. That was definitely not possible. However, the dound of the ocean was a delight. I went to bed and arose with this soothing sound. The hotel os located on a womderful beach that os not too crowded.There is shopping and stores within walking distance of the hotel. You can walk the beach snd run into other hotels and bars. However, I discovered meals prepared by Double A were delicious. Please don't judge the food by the breakfast which was mediocre. Again, the staff did what they could to accommodate. Overall, I enjoyed my stay,, thanks to

Highly recommend this hidden GEM right on Nungwi beach hidden along with the other many hotel that are much more expensive and less personable. We easiley booked EXPEDIA all inclusive with airfare and breakfast, however they also have packages with other meal times. Their customer service when communicating or asking questions by email or WhatsApp was great. They have rooms on the ground floor and up 3 stories with beautiful views of the ocean or the gardens. Aprox. 60 min from Zanzibars internationl airport this hotel named Double A Nungwi Beach is gated and secure. You are greeted with smiling faces, cool hand towels that is refreshing, and handed a glass of tasted hibiscus juice. Ready for hotel tour and then shown to our room. Clean and always has hot water. Lovely decorated and the bed is displaying the beauty of their gardens. Astonishing views from the bar and restaurant and pool area. Inclusive breakfast was very good, with mutliple options to pick from. Eggs any way, waffels, freshly melt in your mouth warm donuts and pastries. Fruit, cheese and everything else breaksfast. The menu for lunch and dinner is expansive and you can tell Chef Rashid puts his passion into all of his meals he prepares. Food flavour is big for us and the way he prepared all of our dishes was palatable for a king and queen. There are also indian and vegetarian options. We felt very special with each bite we took. They provide shuttles and tour. Read my Tumbatu island tour review.Asante sana
