The Doubletree Hotel accompanies a white sandy beach on the tip of Zanzibar. The entire experience is first class with attentive staff, luxurious furnishings, and great food. Although Stone Town is interesting to visit, stay at this hotel for a very memorable experience. Taxi driver Yousef Juma at 255 777 419 127 is reliable for transportation around the island.

Hotel was great - Hilton - good good fine, Food not fantastic, but not bad either. Service... so so.

TIP - If you've come to Zanzibar looking for broad, white sandy beaches and peaceful tropical island paradise - DONT GO TO NUNGWI! There are sooo many tourists, hotels, bars, discos, restaurants and beach salesmen!!!!

I'm no expert in Zanzibar, but I've been there 3 times and there's a beach nearby called Matemwe(southwest of Nungwi) which is REALLY nice! The hotels there are smaller and private and there a NO SALESMEN on the beach.

(IF YOU'RE A DIVER - MNEMBA ATOLL has the best diving I've ever experienced. This can be reached from both Nungwi and Matemwe.)

we had a fab stay at Nungwi even thou its not a fancy 5 star property , the raw beauty of nature made it for us the hotel grounds small but nice ,staff very attentive and rooms spacious . there is on the right hand side of the hotel "restaurant" i mean it looks like a HUT but the chap is most friendly man on earth , we seriously took a p..s out of that place at first until we tried food there , i dont think i ever ate tastier fish steak in my life! as simple as that every night after we ate there for 17 days!!!!! During the day he was just simply asking what we fancy tonight to eat so he can get it fresh from sea and cook for us . honestly dont be put off by hygienic factor , we still alive .

This was the perfect place to stay after 3 weeks of roughing it in the bush. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Our children really enjoyed it here and never got bored. It's right on the beach, has a pool,on-site water sport rentals and pool/ping pong tables. The food was good most nights. It's a buffet so we were always able to find something the kids would eat. The staff was friendly and helpful and even took us on a tour of the local village.
