Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed in a sea view room which was fabulous, great outlook and easy assess to the beach area. Room was spacious and clean. The staff were so friendly and service was really good, a little slow at times but you’re on Zanzibar time so you get used to it. There was a good few places to venture out to around the hotel and even walking in the village was lovely! Do be prepared to be approached every two mins by the locals but they are all very friendly and do eventually stop and leave you to carry on with your day. Overall we loved our stay in this hotel and would recommend highly to anyone thinking of booking.

Nungwi Turaco resort is an above average property with friendly staff, located right on a lovely beach and convenient to shopping and restaurants. The rooms are a bit dated but overall they are clean. The resort is next to a club that plays loud music although the music usually stops just after midnight. The staff really tries to make your experience favorable and very kind. The all inclusive food options are average. Overall, I recommend this place for a decent vacation.

I had a wonderful stay at Turaco. The room was nice, there was food variety, the staff were generally nice, and the ambiance was chill. But I would like suggest few things that could make the experience even better. 1- Improve the Wi-Fi connection, especially at the public places as the connection kept on dropping. 2- Hotel resorts in Nungwi shall come together to clean the beaches and remove the sea weeds at least once a week. 3- improve entertainment include more outdoor games and music. 4- Let customers know in advance that juice and soda are not included in diner to avoid any surprise bills.
