"1 min. walk to the beach , mostly we spent our time with the pool. If you are looking for a very quiet place this is the perfect choice. There is a wide variety for breakfast and the dinners in the evening had a good quality. The staff is very helpful and even upgraded the Wifi speed. Friendly and talkative in addition…….as a couple we enjoyed our stay very much. Highly recommended."

"Incredible location, resort, staff and food. I stayed here for 10 nights and it was perfect. The rooms are spacious with a tasteful interior equipped with air conditioning. The villas are situated in a garden with paths, overlooking the ocean on a small cliff. The staff is attentive and eager to provide excellent service. As a solo female traveler I felt very comfortable, safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend!!"

"Great hotel, right on the beach (once you avoid the sellers), with great customer service especially from some of the bar staff. Also a couple of themed evenings at the hotel but I missed the Swahili night which looked lots of fun.
No complaints from our group."

This was my first hotel in Zanzibar and I would return in heartbeat to stay longer. The aesthetic was relaxing, the owners were present and enjoyable to visit with. The food was DELICIOUS!! It was quiet, peaceful, and comfortable.
The waters are somewhat shallow on the beach in the morning and then rise as the day continues. Be sure and wear water sandals or footwear with a hard sole. There are many prickly urchins around. There are also spots where there are not and it makes for a great area to...

First experience on an all-inclusive hotel. very nice service, the staff is super friendly and helpful. The location is amazing, lovely beach and coral reefs to explore. no snorkeling or dolphins, that is on the other side of the island. The buffet and drinks service is ok, nothing special, although I'd have liked to have some local/african foods or drinks to experience.
General facilities within the hotel and the beach side are very nice, the wi-fi is limited to some location only...

WOW, the property is very relaxing. It’s very beautiful and the staff , I mean there perfect from the manager to the waiters/bartenders and women that keep the rooms immaculate. They treated me so well, the food is amazing and the views from the bungalows are very beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a beautiful experience of Zanzibar and the spectacular ocean views it has to offer.

I celebrated my honeymoon on June 8th at Lux and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. In fact, I plan to return next year at the same time. I hope to see Grace, who works at the reception. She truly deserves to be a manager. Lux, I am coming back and would love to stay in the same room, number 65. Thank you for making my honeymoon a magical experience for my wife and me.

The Restaurant, Room, Gardener and Manager were helpful and friendly and tried their best with what they had to work with. The room was nice with direct access to the pool.
● no water on two occasions
● restaurant did not have all the food that was listed on the menu
● bar did not have liquor to make drinks tgat was listed on the menu
● owner and staff's four year old children (2) were in the pool without supervision. I felt I was responsible/lifeguard if something happened - that's just me.

Very friendly staff settled in a beautiful surrounding. Great pool, and everything is so clean. We felt really looked after.
How ever, it said in various sites that there is a beach here, it is, maybe 25 sq meter in total, but with no acces to the sea, there is a very large ref.

My wife and I chose to stay here because of the on-site Scuba Diving shop (Dive Point Zanzibar), and really enjoyed our 5-night stay. The property is located about 90 minutes from the airport, and a one-way private transfer/taxi arranged through the hotel costs $60 USD. We opted for the "half board" option which includes breakfast and dinner each day. Breakfast includes a continental style breakfast, but you can also have eggs/omelettes cooked-to-order, along with African pancakes (like a...

My wife and I spent eight nights in August and enjoyed our stay at the resort. Our bungalow was very comfortable, and if you're looking for a quiet location where you can walk without sandals directly onto the beach, this is the place. The resort does not have fridges or TVs in the rooms to add to the laidback experience.

Hotel is small but so cute, super friendly stuff, clean and nice furnished rooms. There is no air conditioner only the fan, but honestly it is absolutely fine and sufficient. the beach is amazing in both cases - during high tide or low tide.

The best area to stay in Donge is along the northwest coast, particularly in areas like Kendwa and Nungwi, which offer exceptional beach experiences.
Kendwa is known for its beautiful white sand beaches and clear turquoise waters, making it a prime location for relaxation and water activities. It's a popular spot for couples seeking a tranquil yet engaging beach holiday, with many resorts offering direct beach access and sunset views. The calm waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling right from the shore.
Nungwi, located at the northern tip, is another excellent choice, especially for those interested in a mix of beach life and local culture. This area is famous for its dhow building workshops and offers a more active beach scene with various water sports and dining options.
When is the best time to go to Donge?
The best time to visit Donge is during the dry seasons, which run from June to October and again from December to February.
These periods offer consistently sunny weather with minimal rainfall, which is ideal for enjoying the beaches and water activities. Temperatures are pleasantly warm, typically ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), making it comfortable for exploring and relaxing outdoors. The ocean is calm and clear, superb for snorkeling, diving, and boat trips.
For couples seeking a tranquil and romantic getaway, the dry season ensures uninterrupted days for beach strolls, sunset cruises, and dining al fresco. The consistent good weather allows for reliable planning of excursions without concerns about rain.
Travelers looking for adventure, such as diving or exploring the Jozani Forest, will find the dry months most suitable. The paths are dry and accessible, and visibility for underwater activities is at its peak.
