EnquirePongwe Bay Resort is a good value option on a quiet and beautiful stretch of beach on Zanzibar's Eastern Coast. Accommodation is modest, but this is reflected in the price and this is a good option for those who prefer to vooid larger resorts.
The beach is private, with a furnished waterfront and friendly service. The beach club provides a range of equipment, including paddle surfing for those who want to experience nature through sports. You can play beach volley or beach soccer on the soft sand on pongwe bay or snorkelling in the bay for looking marine starfish. As an alternative to a day on the beach, the resort has a pool with a solarium area and Jacuzzi. The bar service and a the snack menu is available on the beach or in the pool.
This is a tidal area and at low tide, it is a long walk out to the sea (upto 1km), so most will swim off the beach only at high tide. There is some limited snorkelling available off the beach within the reef or you can arrange a snorkelling or diving excursion through the hotel.
We had such a good holiday. You did a fantastic job!
The house in Marrakesh was ridiculous. We effectively had it to ourselves. The accommodation was borderline palatial.
I actually think that the time we had in Marrakesh was sufficient. We could potentially have done a day by a pool but I think we’d done enough souk-ing by the end of Day Two.
The hotel in the mountains was a shade more rustic than I was expecting, but all great fun. Stunning views. The guide / mule / cook team were excellent and our guide (Hassan) tailored the treks to our capabilities well. He was superb, and really made an effort with the kids. The second and third day of trekking were particularly good. Such an adventure for the kids.
All the logistics worked seamlessly. Every aspect went like clockwork. Top marks. The advice on tipping was also much appreciated (I hate thinking that I’m getting mugged off or am potentially not giving enough…).
From my seven-year-old son:
I thought it was GREAT. The food was amazing and the culture was very interesting. My favourite bit was scrambling up rocks in the Atlas Mountains.
In retrospect, I’d probably do the trip in reverse. Flopping on the roof terrace after the rigours of the mountains would have been even more satisfying.

We had an amazing experience - absolutely loved it.
Mohamed and Said were great and very patient especially with me going downhill - was quite nervous about the scree slopes and paths.Will be a trip we remember forever
