Azao Resort & Spa in Pongwe

We stayed with a group 7 nights at this beautiful resort. It is not very fancy, yet clean and surrounded by well maintained gardening and paved tracks. The swimming pool is beautiful, water is clean and nice temperature. The staff is extremely helpful and kind. Air conditioner in the room is modern and efficient. Sea? Just a nice scenery. The place offers many attractions in the area. Food is reasonable. Not Michelin quality, but clean and enough. There is a nice bar at the pool and you can get a nice cocktail for a very affordable price while sitting in the water by the bar.

Perfect setting for a relaxed holiday. Tranquil area around the pool, spa with quite a few massage options, beautifull sunrise views. Happy staff, great service, good food options on the all inclusive package.

11/10 for this stay

Had a lovely time here in 2024. Food was amazing and staff very helpful. Beautiful beach. Spa prices are a bit expensive though. They didn’t have wifi. They have a 10pm curfew on swimming which is s bit weird considering we are on holiday. Very far from activities and airport.

what a wonderfull place, the staff was very friendly, food was devine, the poolbar was awesome, the view was also wonderfull, waking up every morning with a sea view, wow, wish we could have stayd longer. exploring the corral reefs when the sea was on high tight, seeing the most wonderful sea creatures, that was an amazing experience, comming back to the food, it was really very different celectable food, the chef never dissapointed, we really miss all the staff and we will definitly go back there,

View over Indian Ocean was magnificent, but no beach was disappointing.

Seriously amazing location, the hotel is very neat and clean. Rooms are lovely, staff are well trained and friendly. Very helpful. They offer great service. Very thoughtful of them to decorate the room for a birthday.
I would reccommend this hotel🥳. Activities for kids as well as a huge pool. Walking deck to watch the sunrise. Loved everyday of it.
Food is variety for breakfast n dinner. Loved everything. Stunning views.

The value and experience per price paid is unmatched. Our room as facing the ocean. We were sleeping with the sound of waves and it was fantastic. In one of the evenings the electricity was cutting off - the restaurant had us placed on the artificial beach, with live music, eating under the stars. I think that the hotel can do better buy giving written offers for the spa to the groups. I really wanted to do it but there were no prices and I didn't feel like haggling for an experience that is supposed to relax me. Every evening we had some form of entertainment. Apparently all the other hotels in the area have the same entertainment. Now, the music was a bit too loud for my taste and was clashing with the dinner experience. However, the entertainment was unique and african and it's worth the shot. At the entrance of the hotel there is a tour agency representative. We will definitely use them next time. The prices were quite reasonable. What I really loved during our stay was - we had our own hot water heater and we did have hot water whenever we want. The internet was with a truly good signal everywhere on the property so technically you can watch the sea from the wood cabin and surf the internet. I did ask the front desk for assistance with every little thing I needed - the kids channel not working, wanting additional sugar and milk, wanting room service, or a separate cot for the baby. The front desk were cordial and quick to assist. I absolutely loved that. The absolute jewel of this hotel is: we had our own tiny house meters from the ocean and we were sleeping and waking up with the waves, while in a nicely cold with the AC room. At night the pools were not closed. So when it was not hot hot hot we could play a little in the pool with my child and he absolutely loved it. Also, it may seem like a little thing - but one of the evenings they made a tiramisu. I love tiramisu. I am a tiramisu connoisseur and that was one delectably prepared tiramisu.

I went with my family of 12 people to Azao Resort, the hotel was abserloutly beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The hotel had a lot of entertainment stuff, and the pools are huge. The staff was abserloutly amazing - so friendly , so helpful and very polite. The food (from breakfast, lunch & dinner) was so tasty, and food was plentiful. They even had a barbeque evening over looking the beach. They had 2 guys that's danced almost every night for dinner and had the crowd going. The rooms were very nice and clean. If you want a quiet, tranquil holiday, I will definitely recommend Azao to you. Thank you
