Our stay at the Pwani Beach Resort was truly unforgettable! The incredible service and stunning grounds made for a perfect retreat after exploring the mainland. The all-inclusive option allowed us to indulge throughout the day, and the beautiful beach and pools provided a fantastic backdrop for relaxation. The only downside was a brief illness during our stay, but the quick response from the hotel staff was commendable. Overall, it's a dream destination that I would love to return to again!

I had an overall enjoyable stay at the hotel with beautiful beach views and friendly staff, but there were a few areas that could use improvement. The rooms, while spacious, felt a bit worn. The dining experience was varied, with some meals being excellent while others missed the mark. The beach had lovely warm water, but the presence of seaweed and the tide situation were disappointments.

We just had the most wonderful week at this resort. The atmosphere was so relaxing, with comfortable beachfront rooms and fantastic staff who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. There were some minor issues like a slightly awkward bathroom layout and scratchy bed linen, but overall it was an amazing experience. The beach is stunning, though there is a bit of a hassle with the beach vendors.
