Zanzibar Star Resort, hotel in Nungwi

Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Zanzibar Star Resort is located in Nungwi. Free WiFi access is available. Each room here will provide you with a TV, air conditioning and cable channels.

I am conflicted about this place. Starting at check-in, things started out very poorly, but got much better the next day. My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights, made the booking through Booking.com for 2 separate rooms about a month or so prior. I received all the normal booking confirmations from Booking.com. When we arrived there for the first night of our booking, the staff looked very confused and kept asking us to sit and wait. They asked multiple times if having two rooms was totally necessary, to which we replied yes (because that's what we had booked). They finally told us that there had been an "oversight" with our booking, and that only one room was available (based on their confusion and the length of time we had to wait, my suspicion is that they hadn't seen our booking at all, and just happened to have one room available to put us in). We were understandably disappointed and frustrated because we had traveled a long way, were exhausted, and just wanted to check-in to the rooms we had been so excited to stay in. There were initially no apologies from the staff, and they seemed more annoyed with us than anything. They then tried to blame the "mix-up" on me because I had not pre-paid through Booking.com (our reservation clearly stated that we would pay at the property). Long story short, check-in took over an hour, and we just felt kind of defeated and disappointed.

    The beach and the resorts are beautiful. People are amazing!

    The beach and the resorts are beautiful. People are amazing! This situation with the Masai though its literally unbearable. They don't know when to stop bothering you. I am there to enjoy the sun and the beach not to be harassed by them, after I kindly explained that I don't wish to talk, have a good day, they literally follow me and don't leave me alone. This ruined my whole experience!! Every second, every single day.

    Nungwi used to be a small fishersmen's town, but it is now buzzing with bars, hotels and restaurants and lots of activities to do. If you want to go on a snorkeling trip, or have other fun activities. Then this is your spot. I appreciated the beautiful ful of the ocean - with the clear blue waters and the fishermen working.

    Nungwi was a very pleasant and happy part of the island. The locals are very friendly and always willing to help and go the extra mile. The beaches are clean and the difference between high and low tide is very minimal. You can swim at all times of the day.

    Nungwi is a good place for a traveler.

    Nungwi is a good place for a traveler. The place has a lot of trees around it which makes it more beautiful for someone who loves nature. You get to breath fresh air. However, the roads are not well maintained which makes it worse when it rains, but I think it is part of the experience. As you get to see how good the boda boda guys are at riding their bikes.

    As a first time in Zanzibar, with Amaan Beach Bungalows, it has been easy for us to like everyone and everything there and around. People were so humble starting from security guys till the chefs everyone said HI or Pole Pole with a smile on their face, it's gave us the feeling being safe. The food was decent, and drinks were as well. They have a beautiful beach with white sand and blue water around. Almost every single night has been a show with different thematics, which was lovely. Thanks for everything, guys. HAKUNA MATATA

The hotel's location is fantastic right next to the beach with a unique opportunity to watch the sunset over Tanzania, walk distance to several restaurants, bars and walk along one of Zanzibar's most beautiful beaches all the way to the north point of the island

    am a remote worker and have been in Zanzibar for more than 21 days. I travelled to the south and east coast of the island but Nungwi beach is the most beautiful beach. The sunset is the best here. The Zenobia team was the kindest and friendliest staff I have seen so far. The place is very hygienic and safe to eat and drink. The location is amazing, and the services are good quality. They have generators for electricity cutouts, and the internet was good enough.

Beautiful private beach, fantastic gym and food was very nice. Riu Jambo is probably one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. We travel to Tanzania a lot and visiting Zanzibar is always included in our trips. Now staying in Riu Jambo is added to the trips! We loved itband can't wait to return.

Garden is looking very nice and staff take care about every detail. Beach is definitely one of the best in Zanzibar. Location is really good and it is easy to make a tour from this hotel to any part of the island. Staff is simply amazing, always ready to assist and help. The best staff ever.
