Nungwi Dreams by Mantis 5 stars

Great location. We arrived late; it was a buffet dinner with cold food and bad food, the worst buffet I have ever seen, and no offer for anything else. Rooms: poor; strong smell of fresh paint in the hallways. I would suggest that, depending on the size of the room, you take whole onions and cut them in half, leaving them as you paint, which helps eliminate the smell of paint. The AC did not work; the overhead fan was louder than a 747 taking off from the bed; no Management presence. The only positive, staff are all very nice

Our stay at Nungwi Dreams was okay, we were a group of 4 to celebrate my sister's birthday. First of all the hotel did not do anything for my sister on her birthday, maybe we're just use to 5 star hotels that actually operate at that level and do something for their guests if they are celebrating a birthday at their establishment. We arrived at the hotel in the early hours of the morning and had to pay for early check-in, after paying we were escorted to our temporary rooms till we actually check in later that day but to our surprise, the staff escorted my sister and her friend to a room that was under construction and the room my parter and i were taken to actually had a guest inside and the staff member opened the door while the guest was sleeping which is freighting, to have your room door opened while sleeping after locking it and thinking you're safe in the room. The breakfast options were lacking, the fruit provided looked and tasted like it was frozen from a day or two ago, only specific fruit was fresh and the fruit table was left unattended with no fans or devices to keep flies off the fruit or yoghurt, the were multiple times we had to chase flies away from the fruit when we tried dishing, imagine when no one is there to swat the flies away? The flies are definitely laying eggs on food that is supposed to be served to paying guests who expect fresh food all the time while staying a hotel. We complained about the fries as well, the fries were visibly the color of frying them in overly-used oil and clearly let to sit in oil for long. Sushi is advertised on your pages and photos online but there was no sushi on your menu's? The room we got after eventually checking in was leaking from the ceiling when it was raining, nothing was done or said about that. I had to ask the cleaning lady to mop the water in our room from the leak that woke us up from the sound of the water dropping on the floor. The wifi was non-existent in our rooms, you had to stand or sit in a certain position to get coverage which really sucks cause why do you have TV's in the room when you can't even connect to the wifi? Direct access to beach? I think it needs to mentioned that the beach front isn't swimming friendly as there's so many sea urchin's and it's just not a swimming friendly beach front which needs to be mentioned because we highly disappointed to find this out on arrival. I will say Goodluck and Killian were outstanding at their jobs and made us feel welcomed and catered to any of our needs.

Everything was very good we stayed at the hotel twice within a month. Oct-nov 2025 We will come back Only problem like many parts Of zanzibar is the wifi…

Great short stay Awesome vibe around the resort A sense of privacy and chillness about it. Didn’t notice any disturbances or loudness. Great breakfast and dinner.

Wonderfully relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings, wonderful staff who looked after us very well
