Fantastische plek in Nungwi, met de allerliefste eigenaar Alp!
Pros:

De locatie, de gastvrijheid, het restaurant en de ontzettende lieve, behulpzame eigenaar Alp. Hij kon zo goed inschatten wat zijn gasten nodig hadden en handelde daar gelijk naar. Wat je ook nodig had, alles kon geregeld worden.
Wij zijn onze reis hier begonnen in Zanzibar, wat een manier van beginnen.. Alp heeft de lat zo hoog gelegd, echt fantastisch!
Alles was op loopafstand; strand, winkeltjes, geld wisselen en heerlijke restaurantjes!

Grossartige Unterkunft mit sehr freundlichem Personal
Pros:

Wir wurden sehr herzlich willkommen geheissen. Die Anlage war sehr gepflegt und die Zimmer sehr sauber. Kambei und der Hotelbesitzer haben uns mit allem sehr unterstützt, Ausflüge organisieren, Tipps für Restaurants & Taxi bestellen. Die Unterkunft liegt im Zentrum von Nungwi. Auch einen Securitydienst gibt es, der dafür zuständig ist, dass nur Hotelgäste ins Hotel gelangen.
Ein late Check-out war auch möglich, durften die Anlage bis zur unserer Abreise (inklusive Dusche) benützen. Herzlichen Dank dafür, sehr grosszügig.

Die Unterkunft liegt nicht direkt am Strand, jedoch lediglich 2 Gehminuten entfernt.

Cons:

Гостеприимный отель близко к красивому пляжу
Pros:

Очень близко к пляжу, пешком 3 минуты. Днём там приятно плавать, красивая голубая вода и белый песок, а вечером – отлив и получается как огромная набережная, там по песку можно гулять очень далеко, и здорово, что это настолько близко. Привлекательный дизайн номеров. Москитные сетки над кроватями. Вкусный завтрак. Очень дружелюбный владелец отеля, помогал нам во всех вопросах – даже в аптеку сьездил вместе с нами, чтобы мы не заблудились.

Cons:

Ничего

Babalao - The best place in nungwi
Pros:

Para nosotros el ambiente y personaje. Increible, todos los trabajadores y los encargados estaban muy amables con nosotros.

Cons:

Nada. Tuvimos un poco de mal entendido pero estaba resuelto con una invitacion a una cena rica y gratuita a todo el grupo incluso mas invitacion a el "group lead" dos veces!
