The property was great. The pool was convenient and there was plenty of sun chairs for the amount of guests. The resort has everything you need from a convenient store, massage, PADI shop and two restaurants. The happy hour is great but the food is so-so. The hotel staff are kind and very helpful. The staff at the restaurant are kind but sometimes on island time and orders aren’t always correct, which happens sometimes. Overall would recommend. The AC in our room didn’t blow all the way to the bedroom as it was in a corner. The fan breeze somehow could not go through the bed net. And the washroom stayed fairly humid and warm.

Good location but room needs work
Positive is that the room was on the beach , very close to everything and the breakfast was great. However the room has black mold in the bathroom and air conditioning, the air-conditioning was leaking and the bathroom wasn't thoroughly cleaned before our arrival.

Definitely worst resort I’ve stayed in throughout my trip. Came here to enjoy a nice vacation with my wife & was provided with a twin bed room with no working AC. We complained about not having a queen bed and AC like we paid for & was told to sleep for the night & everything would be handled the next day 3/4 night we slept with nothing resolved. Good luck getting any refunds from these people but I guess you get what you paid for. Price definitely reflects the state of their “resort”.

The location is great!! Extended power outage, 2 non working generators, excessive amount of flies during breakfast, Beach towels are sparingly given even though you are charged for them..and the place was empty..The resort needs renovations immediately!!! Staff is kind, but poorly trained. Management comes across at times hostile and condescending (Training Training, people skills is seriously lacking..)

Go on... smile!!!
Met by a member of staff who seemed shocked by my arrival even though they arranged the taxi. Don't arrange taxis through the hotel they add a lot on! The only people who were friendly were the mini market staff, 1 cleaner and 1 of the reception staff, literally no one else smiled or wanted to give the time of day! Got ignored more than once in the restaurant when there were less than a dozen people in there, the staff are uninterested. Would have spent a lot more on the site except for the attitude and unfriendliness of everyone. Room was dark and basic. Remember to leave the clean/don't clean sign out or your room won't get touched. Pool was murky and the cleaning was done during it's open hours, the cleaner actually managing to catch me with the cleaning pole. This place could be lovely but it wasn't. I booked into another hotel for my last night as I couldn't be doing with dirty looks and attitude. It's cheap and on the beach, the location bring it's saving grace!

After a hectic few days in Stone Town, Amaan was the perfect way to end my Zanzibar holiday. I initially booked a room at Kanjibange Bar, which ended up being the wrong place for a solo older female. When I texted my new friend Maskat (the incredible woman who manages the Learn Traditional Cooking with Mama's of Zanzibar (best cooking class ever - a MUST if you are into learning Zanzibar cooking / culture) how uncomfortable I was at my hotel, she suggested I book at Amaan Beach Bungalows, and I was so glad she did. It was clean, comfortable, with a lovely pool and great massage right there on the property. Steps to the beach and Maasai shopping and easy walking distance to lots of restaurants. Great choice!

We moved out after the first night due to it being unsafe and dirty. I tried to get a refund as I paid in full and the reception refused even though I paid for 13 nights, but only spent 1 night there. The bathroom had no water pressure at all in the shower so was unable to wash. Bedding was old, thin and dirty. It took the staff to go inside 4 bedrooms AT NIGHT to find one that was empty, they were opening doors whilst guests were sleeping in there rooms, whilst we stood there. They had no idea what room was vacant, this is dangerous and unsafe. At my own expense I have had to book another hotel for the remaining 12 nights. If you can help me process a refund as they said I had to go through Expedia and as you will see I am an Expedia gold member and use you all the time. I look forward to your prompt response.

The hotel is perfectly located in the middle of busy Nungwi area with stunning beaches. We stayed here over New Years Eve which was definitely worth it. It has a great outdoor swimming pool where we spent some chill time on daily basis. The room was regrettably quite dark and bathroom rather dirty. We were also provided with twin room instead of prebooked double. The staff were simply disinterested and rude- at one point we were served by a waiter who was clearly under the influence. Unlike all other places we stayed at in Zanzibar, breakfast was not included and instead offered for $10pp which we happily declined. The restaurant has amazing view overlooking the beautiful beaches and is a great sunset spot, but the drinks and food are very overpriced compared to others available within short distance. Overall we would rate this average at best, rating this 3 stars mainly for its great location, little outdoor seating area in front of the room and access to pool.
