Ok let’s start with the positive points. 1. The staff are absolutely lovely. 2. The gardens are extremely well looked after 3. The coffee Shop on site is great. 4. The beds are comfortable as they have a great mattress topper on. 5. The bathroom is adequate even if a little dated and tired. Not so positive 2. The hotel and accommodation is dated tired and in need of repair. The thatched roofs are falling down, and completely dilapidated. 3. The rooms are ok and fairly spacious however the room is in need of a renovation/refurbishment. 4. The windows. On the whole site are dirty including the bedroom patio windows. 5. The stairwells and communal areas leading to bedrooms are dirty. 6. Food is good, (we only booked B&B ) the buffet style restaurant is good and good choice something for everyone. 7. We ate both nights at the fisherman’s Restaurant attached to the hotel. 1st night we had lobster and we were originally sat outside but when the food came we were attacked by 1000 flys so we had the retreat inside. The lobster was good even if a little overcooked. 8. 2nd night we ate there it took over an hour for our food to arrive, and we and another couple were the only people in there. 9. The beach - if you’re going for the beach you will be disappointed as it’s full of rubbish and seaweed. Also the jet ski people drive like idiots, it’s an accident waiting to happen. Also full of beach boys so you get hassle hassle hassle. 10. We walked into the village, and

Nice hotel but disappointment beach
Pleasant stay if it weren't for the disappointment of the beach. The hotel is nice and very well maintained. We stayed in an Ocean view room which was magnificent, in front of the beach, with the hammocks right in front of our room. The hotel service is very friendly and they always help you with everything you need. Breakfast is buffet style and complete. Dinner is also buffet style, and should improve the quality and variety. The wifi failed quite a bit at the beginning, but they did everything possible to fix the problem and they managed to fix it. Our biggest disappointment was the beach. The 5 days of our stay it was full of seaweed, nothing to do with the hotel's advertising photos where you see a white sand beach and a turquoise blue sea. Swimming on the hotel's beach is almost impossible. At low tide, the beach is full of seaweed and you have to walk more than 300 meters to swim. In fact, nobody swims. At high tide the water reaches the wall and it is dangerous to swim because of the currents. You can only swim for a couple of hours when the tide allows it, but you have to cross the seaweed zone. We chose Nungwi because I read that the northern part of Zanzibar is not affected as much by the tides, but in this area it is affected and we also had the problem of the seaweed. On Kendwa beach, 15 minutes away by car, there is no seaweed and there is a huge white sand beach.

Amazing staff
We have loved our stay at Nungwi Beach by Turaco. Rooms are so comfy. Air conditioning worked very well. We had a slight maintenance issue which was resolved swiftly and very well. The food was to our taste. Always fresh fish and pasta. The grill outside was a highlight at dinner in the evening. Benson, Roger,Stephano, Omar, Emmanuel and others for amazing service in the bars. We never felt thirsty once. Cocktails were amazing, much better than cheap all inclusives in Europe. Shabhan and Kaimu on the grill and pasta/omellete station was so friendly and welcoming. James, Divota, Halima and Marko gave fantastic service to us at meal times. Moses on security was so nice and pleasant. The only drawback I would say is entertainment and activities included with the stay. We were there 7 nights and there was 4 nights with dancing/singing/acrobats/whirling. We took part in aquagym on just one occasion too. We hoped it could have been being offered everyday but that could have been die to some cloudy/showery conditions in the late mornings. In summary, the staff make the place so special so make sure you tip well. We would not hesitate to recommend to others.

The food was uninspiring. The television in the room very fuzzy and almost useless. We asked for a fix but none was available. Toilet was not screwed into the floor (Room 128) and was dangerous. We asked for a fix - some guy came by to look but did nothing. We had all inclusive but many things were not under that plan. Never had an all inclusive where certain items , latte for instance was not included(Except for breakfast) When we arrive at our room the lock did not work and we had to wait an hour while workmen disassembled the door . That was fine and to the hotels credit they offered to pay for our taxi to the airport ($60) for the inconvenience. The staff was great but the restaurant in Particular needs a lot of work . I’m have owned 30 full service hotels. Marriott(Owns the hotel) knows how to do it better.

Excellent spa treatments. The view from the hotel is lovely with gorgeous blue waters. Overall the food and drink are average at best. We had stayed before a few years back and noticed the decline. With the all inclusive package now, sparkling wine is no longer included along with a number of mixed drinks. Certain foods at the buffet ran out and weren’t refilled. The air conditioning was broken in our room (it was 104/40 degrees c). We contacted the front desk and requested a room change, but there were no rooms available. They tried to fix the a/c but it still didn’t work. 2 days later we were given another room, along with complimentary massages as an apology, which was a nice touch. Had a wonderful time with our friends, but have mixed feelings about recommending it again.

Overall the property is in a great location with very good facilities. Food was above average. New Year's eve on the other hand was amazing. Everything was brilliant. Staff were also fantastic. The only gripe with the surrounding areas were that it is very poor and a huge tourist trap. The other gripe with Zanzibar in general is that you are constantly harassed from the beach by locals dancing, selling trinkets and tours - the saving grace for Turaco is that the beach seating is elevated so it mitigates a lot of the harassment. There are no great tours worth doing. Snorkelling with Dolphins is a night mare for you and the dolphins. Scores of boats following them - it was unpleasant and very far on a boat. Over all I would recommend the property for Zanzibar

Sleepless in Nungwi
Completely lack of interest in resolving critical problems. I’m not a person who complains a lot but when the ceiling fan squeaks loudly once per second all the time and I can’t sleep for a week I do complain. Three times actually and staff chooses to do nothing. Not even giving feedback on why it can’t be resolved or trying to solve it with a workaround. A portable desk fan would probably been enough to create an indoor temperature possible to sleep in. Just a “I’m sorry” during checkout. Have never experienced such uninterested service level attention at any 4-5 star property before.
