serenity... and other Pongwe, Tanzania Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

We spent only a day at the pongwe beach hotel, but we didn't stop overnight, so I can't comment about the bulgalows. They seemed very nice with their makuti huts. Each cottage has a seaview and a private terrace.

Unique Qualities: The manager boasted about traditional beds and zanzibar doors to the bungalows... at 70 dollars a night per person (including breakfast), it seemed slightly too overpriced for my taste. because it's located in the middle of nowhere, you must have your meals there and book their excursions - all of which are overpriced.
The garden is lovely, though - and there are very few people... I would call it a perfect place for a romantic weekend or for a honeymoon.
