Save to favouritesPrintMailPongwe Beach HotelIf your thing is fun and enjoyment rather than going to a more expensive resort than the Jones's, Pongwe Beach will suit you down to the ground. An unpretentious and laid-back hotel, it serves up simple pleasures with panache. Sun, sea, sand and swimming are the main ingredients, accompanied with a generous dash of friendly service. Not only that, but Pongwe, about halfway up Zanzibar’s east coast, has a real gem of a beach – true Indian Ocean style, without the more developed feel of the Maldives and Mauritius. There are only 16 [i!http://www.i-escape.com/hotel.php?section=rooms&hotel_key=ZN022!cottages], which means the place has a wonderfully intimate vibe. Zanzibari in structure, with palm-leaf thatched roofs, mosaic floors and handmade wooden furniture, they're set right on the beach front or 20m back amongst the beautiful green gardens. An absence of TVs or radios means the whole place is blissfully quiet, but should you want it, there's lots to do: snorkelling, exploring and kayaking. Whether you stay 3 nights or a week, this is relaxation at its most attractive.
