a. Great beach access
b. Stunning room views
c. Clean pool

a. Incompetent reception staff
b. Poor Wi-Fi connectivity
c. Basic restaurant food

We had an amazing group vacation! The property was super clean, and the friendly staff made our stay unforgettable. We loved sailing on a traditional Swahili dhow and went snorkeling. The beach views from the restaurant were stunning, and the coffee was one of the best we’ve tasted!

One downside was that we faced connectivity issues, as there was no Wi-Fi in the rooms, which was a bit frustrating when we wanted to stay connected.

What they got right and wrong

Location near a coral sandbank provides a serene atmosphere, and the staff are incredibly friendly, making you feel welcome.

Tide-dependent swimming can be inconvenient. not all the rooms are ready , affecting overall comfort.

Mnarani's dining scene truly captured my taste buds! The cold cuts selection was a delightful culinary discovery worth raving about. Breakfast was a playful feast—fresh fruit platters that were simply irresistible. Plus, our sea-view room was lovely, featuring an expansive balcony that offered breathtaking views over the turquoise waters.

The ocean views from the sea-facing bungalow are incredible, especially at sunrise and sunset. Strong water pressure in the shower, with no issues of salty water, made for a refreshing experience after a long day outdoors.

Be prepared for tide issues—swimming isn't a viable option with high tides or strong rocks during low tides. The beach is a bit rough, with sea urchins nearby. water shoes are a must. Breakfast could be better, too. skip the wooden salt and pepper box for hygiene reasons. Rooms aren't as well-stocked, with only two small water bottles provided for the stay, and there's a strict policy against bringing in outside drinks that feels excessive.

Spent 5 nights in a Standard Double or Twin Room with Sea View. The ocean views were breathtaking, especially at sunrise. The staff truly made my stay special, with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was well-prepared, but a bit inconsistent on some days. The location allowed easy access to local attractions while still feeling like a peaceful retreat. the road to the hotel was in poor condition with many potholes, making the arrival a bit uncomfortable. The shower had strong water pressure which was a big plus, but the bathroom could use some improvements in quality. I appreciated the effort to address my bed comfort issue but still found it hard. No Wi-Fi in rooms was a downside, as I needed to connect in public areas. this hotel offered a unique charm and value for money, but some areas need attention to enhance the experience.

Room upgrade to sea view made our stay special.

stunning ocean views, nice pool area, peaceful atmosphere

Very compact resort with a questionable smell upon arrival!!! The quality of services and facilities left much to be desired, especially the laundry service, which returned items darker than before!!! A thorough upgrade on cleanliness and facilities would make a difference!!!

I stayed for 5 nights in a Standard Double or Twin Room with Sea View. The view was breathtaking every morning. The atmosphere was super relaxing, and the hammock on the porch was a great touch. The daily cleaning service was spot on, and breakfast had a delicious variety.

stunning ocean views and easy access to cultural sites

the views of the indian ocean are truly breathtaking from the room, and being just a short walk from local attractions like the vibrant night market makes exploring so easy and enjoyable.

It was an excellent fit for a quick trip in Nungwi, offering attractive and competitive value for money. The snorkeling excursion arranged by the staff was a highlight, allowing us to swim close to dolphins. Be ready for tide changes when planning beach activities.

the cottage was a bit too small (bathroom situation was awkward). but then you wake up to stunning ocean views every morning. breakfast was fresh (loved the fruit platter! ). the pool was clean and warm, perfect for afternoons.

It is a charming retreat with breathtaking ocean views and a delightful pool area!

Do recommend for overnight stay

Charming cottage, relaxing atmosphere, with a great swimming pool surrounded by comfortable seating options like hammocks and swings, providing a lovely place to unwind after exploring nearby attractions.

Couldn't find any faults at all.

will certainly stay here again.

We loved our Duplex Suite! It had a lovely balcony and an amazing view. The spacious private bathroom was perfect. The outdoor swimming pool was clean and inviting, while the spa was fantastic, especially for a couples massage. Super cozy atmosphere with all the amenities we needed. Staff were super helpful!
