    great beach access and memorable dining experiences

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, especially the incredible views of the Indian Ocean and the attentive service from the staff during our meals, which were consistently impressive and offered a variety of choices. Additionally, the ability to walk along the beach at low tide for what felt like miles made for a perfect way to explore and unwind.

    I had a fantastic time at this beach resort. The friendly staff made us feel like family, and the beach was absolutely breathtaking. However, the shower had brackish water, which was a bit off-putting.

    Ideal choice for a weekend respite in Pongwe with attractive and competitive value for money. The beach basket with treats delivered to our room was a delightful surprise. Be sure to ask about the eco-friendly measures regarding straws at the bar.

    Had an amazing time with my friends at this beach resort. The food was great, and we loved the beautiful ocean view and calm atmosphere. We also visited Uroa Bay Beach for its spa and tennis courts. Just keep in mind that there weren't enough beach umbrellas for all guests. Overall, a wonderful getaway!

    The road leading to the resort had severe potholes, which made getting there a bit challenging. Fixing this would make the stay even more enjoyable.

    Pongwe Beach Hotel is a beautiful escape with spacious rooms, lovely beach access, and friendly staff. The meals were delicious, especially the BBQ nights. The pool was relaxing, and the complimentary kayaks made for fun exploration. An ideal setting for both couples and families.

    The showers had brackish water.

    The location and staff at this hotel make it a truly special place. The beach was breathtaking, soft white sands and turquoise waters, perfect for lazy days under the sun.

    It wasn’t cheap, but for what you get, it’s totally acceptable.

    We had an amazing family trip with our dogs at this beautiful beach hotel. The atmosphere was relaxing, the beach access was fantastic, and we enjoyed delicious meals. The kids particularly loved playing by the shoreline while we took morning coffee on our terrace.

    In my kids’ opinion, a kids' club or activities would be great.

    friendly staff

    The beach at Pongwe Beach Hotel offers stunning white sand and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. Lounge chairs by the infinity pool allowed me to soak in the sun with a drink in hand, which was heavenly. The staff were mostly welcoming and eager to assist, making the experience enjoyable overall. Meals prepared by the chef were consistently delicious and varied each day. I particularly enjoyed the fresh seafood and the vibrant flavors during theme nights. My room was comfortable, yet the air conditioning could have been better, as it felt a bit warm at times. An area for improvement lies in the service speed during peak dining times. A couple of times, I waited longer than expected for my order, which disrupted the flow of the meal. Additionally, the beach does face challenges with tides, making swimming impossible at times. Expect to deal with some noise from the kitchen during certain hours. The hotel promises a luxury experience, yet some amenities felt slightly dated, and some areas needed maintenance. Despite these minor issues, the setting is picturesque, and I left feeling refreshed.

    The location offers a tranquil beach experience, enhanced by the lovely garden setting. The food exceeded expectations with diverse warm dishes, and the Swahili buffet was a standout on Friday. While the room boasted a private plunge pool, the lack of glass windows allowed rain noise to filter through at night, potentially disturbing light sleepers. Additionally, the nearby hotel’s music could be bothersome before a 10 PM cutoff. Still, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff made a significant difference to our stay.
