I do not recommend to choose this hotel at the moment since there are construction works nearby and you wont be able to enjoy your holidays! The sound is just ridiculous. Overall the houtel if fine, but the contruction make your holidays terrible!! We loved the food, the people. All in all hotel is pretty old, but nice and clean. But the construction works make your head blow! Be careful if you dont want to get headache because of terrible sound which lasts every day from beggining till the end of the day!

I chose this place because of the effusively positive reviews. However, our experience was not anything like what these reviews say. First, the room was dark and smelled of mold. We were first given a downstairs room that smelled of mold. We then asked to be moved upstairs, but that room smelled the same. Next, the food. We thought, based on it being Italian owned, that the food would be very special. It was just average — various pastas and not very good pizza. Breakfast was very basic. Even the coffee was not so great— not like the wonderful cappuccinos you get in the morning in Italy. On the positive side, the grounds were lovely. The pool was huge and beautiful. They have activities like snorkel trips and exercise classes. And the staff is lovely. But the beach is overrun with people who want to sell you things or braid your hair. They shout and chase after you in a fierce and desperate way. We stayed in another hotel on the same beach later that week, and they had a sign posted saying that this beach vendor activity is illegal in Tanzania and not to purchase from these vendors. And they had staff out there to make sure of it. So there the beach could be enjoyed. A huge difference!

My family enjoyed every part of the place. The pool, the jetty, the food. The rooms are big enough and clean. The staff is friendly and always made sure we had one table despite of being a bigger group of people than other guests. The Christmas Eve buffet dinner was amazing and the band. Would definitely recommend

The best place to stay in Zanzibar. That was my 4th time visiting Dongwe Club Resort in Zanzibar. It’s a pleasure every single time and every single time it’s better. The Italian chef makes a difference when we talk about delicious food! The stuff is so helpful from the desk Doris till the waitress and the animation group! Every night is a show or karaoke or a beach party ! During the day lots of activities aqua gym, yoga , volleyball name it !! The list has no end. The resort itself is huge you can lost yourself in that beautiful place and chill or join the vibe next to the pool! Let’s not forget about the longest pier in Zanzibar - The Pontile ! Uff that place it’s magical! So if you think go to solo or with you family you chose the perfect place ! The resort offers lots of excursions and daily snorkeling. For sure will rerun again! Big thank you to the Manger Mr. Giorgio who holds this place beautifully!

The hotel has been appointed as a "BEST 4 STAR HOTEL IN AFRICAS 2024" and when you stay, you can understand why! I had amazing time here, best location, beautiful gardens, AMAZING pier, food is also excellent. I would suggest to try the excursions proposed from the Italian team (Mara and Daniele) and please do not trust beach boys, a couple booked something with them and they were scammed!!! I will surely come back to this Paradise!

Dongwe Club is a special place. The structure is totally in African style: the reception is open 24/7 and all the staff who works there is always available for any need or difficult situations. The food is excellent: in two special events the chefs work twice as hard: white party dinner by the pool and the African dinner (in which in addition to taste typical dishes, you also wear typical clothes, all the staff included). The jetty (pontile) is the strong point! A dinner at that magical place is a panacea for the soul! Last but not least: excursions. I completely relied on the excursionists who work in Dongwe! Even though I received tempting offers with reduced price, I believe that on these occasions it is better to rely on the guys present in Dongwe who did not let me miss of anything! Always there to help and they also went along with us on excursions and I can totally say that I definitely felt more safe! Excursions to do: Safari Blue and Safari in Tanzania (2 days and 1 night). I wrote very few things but I would have said a thousands things about Dongwe, but I definitely have to say one last thing: thank you manager Giorgio to make Dongwe such a beautiful place! I miss Zanzibar so much and I hope to get the chance to be back as soon as possible!

I had an amazing stay at this resort in Zanzibar! The location is stunning, with crystal-clear waters and a beautiful sandy beach. The rooms were clean, spacious, and offered breathtaking ocean views. The food was delicious, with plenty of fresh seafood and local flavors. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable. We enjoyed snorkeling, exploring nearby islands, and relaxing by the pool. Overall, it was the perfect place for a relaxing and memorable vacation. Highly recommended!

Enchanting place full of nature with a beautiful beach and managed by a very professional staff. My compliments to the manager person who runs this place I think his name is Giorgio. Thanks for the dinner in white it was a magical moment full of flowers and colors and excellent food..we will hardly forget. Thanks to Dino the boss of entertainment and other guys who entertained in daytime and evening games. The variety show was very nice. The Pilates and Yoga lessons were very appreciated and professional.. my wife has never missed one. Definitely a dream vacation. We will gladly return to this paradise.
