After the renovation, it will be a very nice little resort.
Pros:

The accommodation is in a good location near the beach.

Cons:

The resort was undergoing renovation, which reduced comfort. However, I was warned about this fact in advance. I appreciate the fact that I was given a significant discount for that reason.

Great location and the personal is very helpful and always providing extra ordinary and familiar service. They also arrange a very cosy Bon-fire in one evening. Would really recommend this hotel.

DO NOT BOOK!
Cons:

DO NOT BOOK!
I have stayed in some crappy places but this is definitely the worst. I don’t even know where to start, the hotell is a construction site where they start at 7 am, so do not expect to get any sleep and also have a lot of construction workers just hanging around right outside your room all day. The rooms are unclean (look at my bathtub), and there are ants and bugs inside. The towels were very dirty with paint and we suspect the construction workers have used the room between guests since there is also paint spills in the bathroom. No cleaning took place during our stay, we had to chase people to get more toilet paper. No hot water, electricity and WiFi comes and goes, and sometimes we had no water at all. The staff asked my friend (a girl) if she was married and stared at us. It’s possible to see into the bathroom from the outside and as soon as I tried to shower men started hanging out outside the bathroom window. When I asked them to hang out somewhere else and told them that I wanted to shower in peace they asked if why I didn’t want company. The hotell has no security guard, unlike all other hotells in the area. The room didn’t have fridge, but after two days of complaining I finally got one. And to top it off the beds are barely 170 cm long, so if you are taller than that prepare for your feet to hang over the side of the bed. As soon as another hotel became available we left and we talked to other guests that were doing the same.

Very good
Pros:

Staff are friendly and humble. Rooms were as expected ... clean with air con.
Once we discovered the side exit (behind the breakfast area) it was a quick 2 min walk to the beach.

Cons:

Getting consistent water for the shower was an issue in both rooms.

Very good
Pros:

The location is perfect, just 1 min walk to the best part of the Nungwi beach. The room is large and was clean when we arrived. The staff is nice. The breakfast is good. You can choose between different types of eggs. The garden around the apartment is really beautiful.

Cons:

They only cleaned our room once during our 6 days stay. The bathroom is old. Sometimes is the water from the pipe so hot that you cannot wash your hands.

Great, safe hotel to stay in beside the beach
Pros:

The place was so nice and quiet. Although it looked simple it had absolutely everything I needed. Kettle, tea and teacup, aircon and fan, private clean bathroom with soap holders and even a tap to wash my feet off from the beach outside. The trees outside are actual fruit trees so it's nice to walk around.

Literally a stones throw from the beach. If you walk two minutes left as well there's a massive food court buzzing with life which was fun to discover.

The staff were so friendly and active too. One of the staff were even getting rid of bugs from outside my room without me even asking them. They were kind but not overbearing and gave me the peace I needed.

Bed was comfy. I had hot water in my shower. My room was beside reception but my wifi had 4 bars no matter where I walked in the hotel. I felt very safe too because the place didn't have a bright neon sign pointing to where it was so no persistent vendors could easily follow me home.

Breakfast was freshly made and nice. Seasonal fruits, toast with egg and tea/coffee. Would definitely come back again.

Cons:

I just had to ask for someone to check my hot water but it was resolved very quickly. Everything else was perfect

Nice place close to beach
Pros:

Very close to beach, only a one minute walk. Loved the room and the beds were super comfortable. AC worked great. Staff were nice and breakfast was good.

Cons:

We came in low season and there were barely any staff there. When we arrived, we searched for a while before we found a staff member who checked us in.
Also they locked the hotel gates so we could not get in when we came back at 11pm. Had to call the hotel number on a local line to get someone to come open it for us. I thought we were going to have to climb the fence!
