Small island of relax in Nungwi
Pros:

Great staff always ready to help you, location - close to the sea, restaurants and all attractions but a bit aside so do not need to be in the chaos all the time. Internal garden is amazing, it is very well maintained and beautiful

Everything about Gaia Villas was exactly what we where looking for in our holidays.
Pros:

Gaia Villas, oh how we loved it!

Our stay in Gaia was nothing but amazing, from lovely staff - including security, the beautiful accommodation - it was clean, tidy and incredibly safe and also - looked like the pictures and better! Completely unheard of in Zanzibar :)!!!

The greenery of the garden and the pool are truly stunning, a cozy place to wake up before going to the beach.

If planning on visiting Nungwi - Gaia Villas is the place to stay.

We missed it as soon as we left :)

Cons:

Nothing really, everything was lovely

The Hidden Garden
Pros:

Our 9 nights in this little Zanzibar paradise was smooth & relaxing. Nungwi beach is just a short walk away — 5 - 10mins. The location makes it easy to explore both Nungwi & Kendwa.
The villas are surrounded by greenery & feel very peaceful. The pool is quiet & clean.
Our room was clean, comfortable & serviced daily by the lovely house keeping lady.
The breakfasts were fresh & tasty with a variety of fresh fruits, juices & a selection of hot dishes.
Isaiah the manager is lovely & dedicated to making your stay memorable. The whole team from security to house keeping & pool maintenance are attentive & make this place feel safe & calm. Thanks for having us

Simply everything you need for a short stay in Nungwi
Pros:

The staff is amazing. Issay made sure we were not short of anything and the breakfast was endless. When we visited, they had just reopened after low-season closure. There was only a few other guest and they were visibly preparing for high-season, but everything was great.

Cons:

We arrived late the first night and found the hot water was not working. However they immediately fixed that the next day. One thing we noticed is the room doesn’t have anywhere to sit really than the bed. But with the size of the room it is understandable.

Навіть у раю не все ідеально!
Pros:

Все було чудово: розташування, територія, басейн, кімнати, сніданок та сервіс, але єдине але…

Cons:

Багато рослин створюють тінь та затишок але водночас є притулком для москітів. Хоча кожного вечора персонал обробляє кімнати проти москітів це не дуже допомагає.
