Flame Tree Cottages0

-Super welcoming and kind staff. Every single one of them will make you feel welcomed, and assist you at any given time. Special shout out to Mohammed who goes above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing stay. -special touch of owner, who will greet you personally, which is really nice gesture -Breakfast is very nice. Served on your veranda every morning. (Its always same menu everyday, it gets a bit monotone, but its ok for 2-3 days stay) -Hotel is right on the beach, inside hotel itself it feels like resort, so much greenery and nice pool -Food is good, but portions are small... especially starters. -Everyday they replenish water bottles, and spray room for mosquitoes in evening time -Tea coffee pot and sachets available also in room which is nice -When power goes off (normal in zanzibar) they have generators so you always have electricity and AC in room -AC is really really good!

There is little room for improvement which would be nice to see kn next stay here: -food takes looooong time to arrive on table -portions should really be increased -WiFi is slow... it barely opens websites. You have to keep waiting -breakfast menu to be changed/modified at least 2-3 days, because its always the same. For the price per day per room, it should be wider choice.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Flame Tree Cottages. All the staff is adorable and the service fantastic. Our cottage was big and we loved having breakfast on the porch. The breakfast was very good. The bed was super comfy too. The bar / restaurant has a superb view of the beach and is lovely to admire the sunset. The place is very charming and perfectly located, you can find many restaurants and bars, scuba diving centres on the beach at a short walking distance. Special mention to Dalila who provides brilliant massages.

Unlike other hotels in Nungwi this one has rather few buildings on a rather big territory so you can really enjoy walking in the garden and by the pool. The beach is not crowded so most of the time it is rather empty (unlike the hotels that are closer to Kendwa). The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Rooms and facilities are rather worn out. The air conditioner was leaking water into the room. The ceiling ventilator was rather noisy. There was rather unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Wifi is not usable. The food is mostly ok, but I got not fresh fish soup once and got poisoned. My child also got poisoning from not very well cooked grilled fish.

Clean, spacious bungalow with all amenities you can ask for. Situated in a lovely big garden. Breakfast is served on your terrace, which is very nice. Peaceful place with its own beach area, which we appreciated a lot. Very helpful and supportive staff and the owner, Seif, was also very nice.

Lovely garden setting in the middle of the busy village but very quiet and peaceful. Cottages were lovely and clean with authentic local style furniture and lovely verandas to sit on. Breakfast was very good and served on the veranda by great staff. The menu was great and the specials updated everyday with great choice. Beautiful location with quiet stretch of beach and fantastic sunset spot for a sundowner.

The water pressure was not very good so difficult to wash the salt out of your hair. It was very quiet when we were there so very private on the verandas but with no separation between rooms on the open verandas so if the place was busy you would not have the same privacy. The beach area was small and also the restaurant. Guests preferred to sit by the ocean but there was limited space and the restaurant was popular with hotel guests and open to the public. This was not a problem as the hotel was quiet but if it was busier then this beautiful space would be very crammed. There was no one on reception on arrival and staff were unsure of the details of the booking.

Nice pool, comfy room, plenty of space between rooms, could hear the sea and swim there and nice overall vibe

Food a bit hit or miss in the evenings. We gotva pita bread and hummus thar was not good for 5 dollars. Cocktails could have been a bit stronger and no happy hour but the breakfast is good and these are small complaints. Got a lovely veg curry as well

The resort has a beautiful location right on the beach. The breakfast includes a wonderful fruit plate, lots of coffee and choice of eggs etc. There is a lovely beach front restaurant that does a great fish burger. Staff are very friendly and try hard to be helpful.

The swimming pool water is like a hot tub, not at all refreshing. There is a generous onsite library with tons of titles of many languages, these books are so dusty and disorganized.

The surroundings are beautiful, gorgeous trees, plants, flowers. Very quiet and peaceful, the staff cannot do enough to make you comfortable. Situated on a beautiful beach.

The bathrooms could do with an upgrade as they are very dated. The food orders always took a long time to come.

Perfect sunset view. Very nice private terrace where breakfast is served. Beautiful garden where house units are not very crowded. Hotel's restaurant is very good. Very kind guard on the beach door.

Check-in and check-out procedure are disorganized.

Very nice place, amazing cottages and very friendly personal
