Smiles was lovely. Comfortable rooms, ok breakfast, very nice dinners. Always fishing boats to watch when the tide is in. Great swimming beach when the tide was coming and going. I would recommend this small non alcoholic Beach Hotel. Lots of shopping and restaurants just outside their gate. Security was very good.

Too long to get any drink or food from the restaurant - a lot of employees but not efficient, when ordering a drink it took 40 minutes to get something which is very long when you are thirsty, same for the food. No service existing on the beach, neither at the swimming pool. Basically you are ok in the hotel if you do not need anything…

Great value for money!
Fantastic 3 star hotel in Nungwi!
Great location in a quiet part of Nungwi. Private beach area with no salesmen. BEAUTIFUL outdoor area! Very kind employees from Reception to Spa, cleaning and Restaurant. Rooms are spacious with sufficient room for 3 big single/queen beds and luggage without it feeling crammed. Simple interior but we were only in the room for sleeping and it had good nets thst was prepared each night. Did not see one single mosquito inside. Bedsheets clean but with a few permanent stains. No issue for us as felt clean. No noticed electrical fall-outs - I think they have a generator.
Only awareness point is that the door lock is very simple: from outside you lock with a small padlock (but there is a safe in the room). From inside there is a simple slide lock (toilet door style) that barely locked in our room - a simple push would have opened the door.
Given guard on the premises I felt safe with just a suitcase in front of the door but preferably the lock had been a bit more solid. Does not change the conclusion: AWESOME hotel. Hope to return another time.

Staff was attentive, friendly and polite , love the cleanliness of the room.
31.05.2025 Niamh
The staff were super friendly. They spent between 45 minutes to 1 hour cleaning our room each day. They would fold our clothes in the wardrobe, line up our shoes and toiletries. I have never experienced cleaning to such depth 10/10. Pool was lovely and it was safe and quiet. Staff genuinely could not do enough. If you are half board food is a set menu for dinner. Only criticism would be sometimes the water would go off for a short period of time. There were the odd power cuts for a few seconds at a time.

Great hotel with the best location in our opinion. Secluded from the hectic beach and bars but still close. The beach outside is nice and less people than the main beach. Staff is fantastic, always easy to find a sundbed, great view from the hotel, nice sunsets and the massage at the SPA is recommended.

Some hooks and hangers in the room would be appreciated.
03.01.2024 Marcus
Came for the day to use the lounge beds and pool. Access if you’re not staying at the hotel is $20/person. The location is great, but the place is rather worn and could use some maintenance.

Unfortunately rating only 2 overall since the restaurant had almost none of the menu items. Most soda options were also out. The chicken wrap we ordered was mediocre and the chips barely fried.

The place doesn’t serve alcohol (wasn’t an issue for us).
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!

One of our favorites in Nungwi. Big portion sizes. We had the Zanzibar style squid and the Kingfish in butter garlic sauce.
