I had the pleasure of staying at Karibu Beach Resort in Zanzibar for 15 days, and I can honestly say it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality, setting the tone for a truly unforgettable stay. Small and Intimate, Yet Exquisite Karibu Beach Resort is a boutique hotel with only about 15 rooms, which creates an intimate, peaceful atmosphere. The resort has the feel of a private paradise, far from the typical overcrowded tourist spots. Despite its size, the service here is nothing short of 5-star quality. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to ensure guests have everything they need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Impeccable Cleanliness and Service The cleanliness at Karibu Beach Resort is absolutely incredible. From the rooms to the pool area, and throughout the public spaces, everything is spotless. The attention to detail in cleaning is something I rarely see. Housekeeping is meticulous, and you can tell the hotel takes great pride in maintaining its pristine condition. As for the service, it’s outstanding. Every staff member is attentive, friendly, and truly cares about your comfort. From the reception to the restaurant staff, everyone is always there to help with a smile. They go the extra mile, whether it’s offering recommendations for local activities, setting up the perfect beach chair for you, or making sure you’re always comfortable. Delicious Fresh Food The food at the hotel is amazing. The restaurant offers a variety of fresh, flavorful dishes, and the menus are prepared to order. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every meal was made with care, using fresh local ingredients. The breakfast spread is especially noteworthy, with a great selection of fruits, eggs, and traditional Zanzibari dishes. Each meal is tailored to your preferences, and you can tell the chefs take great pride in what they prepare.

    You need to take into consideration the feelings of your visitors....we do not like being targeted by people pestering us to buy from them every time we go to the beach. It really is a negative factor of visiting your wonderful island paradise....it spoiled it for us. Also this happened to us on other beaches in Zanzibar so not just a Pongwe problem....its endemic to Zanzibar.

    Pongwe is an isolated beach, at low tide the sea is very far away and, even at high tide, it is very shallow - you cannot swim. Kiwengwa beach, next door (10 minutes by car) is much better, more lively, with many shops and good hotels.

    The hotel is beautiful and still fairly new, the location is great for relaxing but not for swimming The enormous pool more than make up for it. The bar in the pool was also a nice touch. The Saturday dinner on the beach was the highlight of our trip, with live entertainment and good food under the stars. Thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay memorable. I can’t single them out since they were all consistent. Will definitely go back.
