Perfect ocean view and sound of the waves made for restful sleep at night. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Sometimes it was difficult to get the shower going but once it did, very hot. There’s a slight ant problem getting into the rooms.

6-night trip

8/10

For that price very nice place. Staff was very friendly, breakfast was good. One night dinner was 10/10 but two nights I would say 8/10. Pool area is nice, gym is small and hot (poor air conditioning). Would recommend and visit again.

Nungwi by Mantis is centrally located to all of the main tourists attractions, safe, secure and very well maintained. The staff are extremely friendly and very accomodating - a special shout out to Lathifa and Barakah that made our stay an absolute pleasure
7-night trip

10/10

The hotel is perfectly situated on the beach. Staff are wonderful, friendly and very helpful; in particular the manager who made an effort to provide advice and help when I was concerned about my flight. Food is good, with plenty of choice and the cocktails are great! The room is spacious, clean and quiet. There are two pools so the area doesn’t feel crowded Highly recommend

3-night trip

10/10

This property is surly a dream. The property overall is very well kept and you can constantly see the staff doing all kinds of up keep. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff is absolutely amazing; From the amazing front desk crew to the restaurant and the rooftop pub (except at the morning breakfast buffet team that were unfriendly and not attentive). My wife had several services at the spa, and she said that the service was exceptional. We travel a lot and I cant remember giving all 5 stars, I can't say enough about this place.
1-night trip

4/10

The hotel wasn’t at all as expected from photos, reviews and its 5 star rating. The whole place is run down and poorly maintained, our rooms smelled strongly of damp/mould, it wasn’t particularly clean, there was a leak from the toilet and no water pressure in the shower or hot water. We ended up checking out and going to another hotel, despite our stay being non-refundable. The breakfast wasn’t impressive either, unfortunately. The staff were polite and did offer to fix the water pressure and move us to another room once it became available. Maybe that would have been better but our overall impressions were already so disappointing, in comparison to our expectations. It’s also important to note that the beach isn’t nice to swim on. There are a lot of rocks and corals so it’s not sandy as the pictures suggest.

This was like staying in paradise. Our room was spacious and bright. Just a few steps outside our door is the pool and a beautiful white sand beach on the Indian Ocean. Soraka.tours made our reservations and took care care of everything. I will definitely use them again. Kathy

10/10

This hotel and is staff is just amazing. Really great service - and were really helpful. Specially Aika helped us out, and was really excellent in getting us a dinner change. (When what we wanted was not on the menu) The hotel is new, and nice. Everything was clean - and we had the beach right outside. It was a bit tricky to swim in the ocean outside the hotel, but we managed. It is 15 min walk in the beach to get to Nungwi beach/center
