What makes Palmera so special is its inspiring mission. The hotel and restaurant operate as a hospitality school for local young women, and the exceptional service they provide is a direct reflection of their training. From their warm smiles to their impeccable attention to detail, you can feel the genuine pride they take in their work. The hotel's setting is pure paradise. The infinity pool overlooking the turquoise sea is mesmerizing, and the lush, immaculately kept gardens create a perfect oasis for relaxation. It was wonderful to be able to walk barefoot through the fine sand and simply enjoy the tranquility. For anyone, but especially for vegans, the restaurant is a must-visit. The creative and delicious vegan dishes, all beautifully prepared and presented by the talented students, were a true highlight. It's a testament to the high-quality training they are receiving. The breakfast, in particular, was the best I had during my three-week stay in Tanzania, the homemade warm bread and homemade chocolate spread were unforgettable. For lunch and dinner, with main courses priced between $11 and $13, it offers exceptional value. This 15-room hotel is a quiet retreat. I stayed when it was almost empty and had no issues with noise, but even when full, the large garden and pool area should provide plenty of space for guests. The price range for double rooms in the 2025 high season was 70-100 USD. All rooms face the sea, though the view can be a bit limited from some of the downstairs rooms. While the large windows are beautiful, the curtains don’t fully cover them, which could be a privacy concern for some. I prefer a firm mattress, and the bed was perfect for me, but it might be a bit too hard for others. The solar-powered hot water worked flawlessly. The road to the hotel is a little bumpy on the last kilometer, but there are plans to improve it. In the bathrooms, I would have appreciated a bit more space to dry towels, or a drying rack on the terrace.

After a week crowded Nungwei beach we have spent there 6 unforgettable days! This was the one of the top hospitality experience ever! The location is quite stunning with direct access to the beach, sleeping in wooden caban with toilets and shower. The bungalows are so unique and cosy, simplicity and elegance are the right words to describe. They offer lunch and dinner in a restaurant with a single menu though that changes everyday, usually rice with fresh fish. All the local staff and the massai working there are very friendly and helpful. If you look for something natural, we would recommend.And no need be scared about the bush babies in the night, they are so sweet ;)

From the very first moment we entered the hotel, we felt completely at ease and genuinely welcomed. Every single wish and need was taken care of with warmth and attention to detail. Special thanks go to Chef Ally, a truly world-class chef who created outstanding dishes every single day. His food was simply incredible, and we already miss his exceptional cuisine! Beyond that, he always came to us personally with great recommendations and heartfelt conversations. The entire service team deserves praise – especially Ali, Akim, Miriam, Roman and Joyce who were always there for us with a smile, impeccable service, and wonderful, friendly energy. They made every moment feel special. Also, a huge thank you to the reception team, particularly Fatima, Mary, Asye and Mohammad, who helped us with absolutely everything – from taking photos to organizing activities and even assisting us when we forgot mosquito repellent. The General Manager, Arjun Kumar also deserves special recognition for running this place with such passion and professionalism. It’s clear that his leadership sets the tone for the entire team – everything runs smoothly, and you can truly feel that everyone enjoys what they do. The hotel itself is beautifully designed with so much taste and attention to detail. It truly leaves nothing to be desired. We felt incredibly comfortable throughout our entire stay and can only highly recommend this place to anyone looking for warmth, hospitality, and excellence in every detail.

One of the only places ever that has exceeded our expectations. We stayed for our last 3 nights in Zanzibar and wish we had longer. Promised land is just magical. Stunning, laid back jungle, beach vibes, great food and friendly staff and outstanding views over the turquoise sea, especially at sunset when you can experience drumming and singing around the firepit. The rooms were huge and comfortable and there's a resident monkey family that likes to hang out in the gym!

The property located on the beach is stunning. The rooms are spacious, clean and wonderful. Staff has gone beyond to make my stay incredible. During my stay I received great news and Mohamed has gone an extra mile to celebrate this in a way I enjoy; with whiskey and cigar. Suleman and Raquel have always had smile and did everything needed to make sure my stay here has been beyond expectations. Head chef Amr has surprised me and some other guests with Egyptian food, Swahili chicken. Everything has been delicious. This has been by far one of my favorite places to stay.

If you like nature go for it. Magic place, monkeys outside (and sometimes inside) the rooms. In the morning and in the evening there are only the very few guests of this ecolodge around. The owner is super nice, it helped me a lot with a problem I had at the car. It is inside a nature conservation project. One of the best hotels I have been in the past 10 years.

From

Very hospitable, helpful and friendly staff, tasty and plentiful breakfasts and a diverse range of food for lunches and dinners with a local touch, which is very welcome for getting to know the characteristics of the island. A good location next to a white sandy beach and a fishing village a few 100 meters away, which gives this resort a very special meaning. I was enchanted by the tastefully maintained tropical garden that connects the bungalows to each other, especially the original positioned and equipped bathrooms. Excellent, I recommend it for families, travelers or couples.
