Flame Tree Cottages is a paradise on earth. The staff is amazing and always ready to help. The location can not be better, right at a really nice beach. The restaurant/beach bar ("Zanzi") was really beyond our expectations and much more then what the pictures show. They prepare wonderful food, with great variaty and it is located directly at the beach with organized entertainment a few times per week. The breakfast was brought to our veranda every morning and we ended up having lunch at the dinner at the Zanzi restaurant every day as it was really delicius. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

The location was fantastic, straight onto white sand and clear blue sea beaches! The staff were extremely attentive and polite. We enjoyed the private beach area by the hotel bar as you could relax there without being bothered by vendors on the beach. The view was gorgeous. Our little cottage was always clean and comfortable. We enjoyed waking up in paradise each morning. Would love to return to flame tree cottages. You can also snorkel from the beach outside the hotel if you bring your own snorkel gear. We saw lots of starfish here 🤩

“*Avoid* Backpacker quality. Luxury price. Rude ownership.”
Hotel is in a good location, if access to Nungwi is of interest. In our view, there are better places on the island to stay than Nungwi. Pool was nice, with a shallow section for kids. Some of the staff, particularly Mohammed and Agness, were great. Mohammed especially tried to make the best of the numerous issues that came up. It's clear the owners can't be bothered to give him much to work with.

“Great stay at the beach!”
At a wonderful location, beach side, restaurant, breakfast is served at the bungalow, room is spacious and nice, just 50 meter and direct access to the beach. Great staff, very helpful and gave us good advice on excursions. Staff checked regularly if all was good. Easy to walk to restaurants on the beach.

“Beachfront hotel with beautiful garden”
Stayed here for 4 days with my boyfriend. This place is absolutely amazing. The property is beach front, the beach is beautiful with white sand and cristal clear water. At high tides you can jump right in. It’s also situated in a lively area with lots of cafes and restaurants around. The property is very large, it comes with a beautiful, well maintained garden with lots of palm trees, bushes and flowers. It is the only hotel with such a nice large garden. We had the king room with ocean and garden view. It’s a large room, comfortable bed and very clean. Room service is also spot on. We really enjoyed the breakfast serviced on the terrace in front of the room. Breakfast has a nice choice and really keeps you going throughout the day. We also very much enjoyed the pool, it has a really good size for swimming. Everyone at the hotel was very kind and welcoming. Overall I can absolutely recommend this place for an unforgettable stay!

Clean, spacious bungalow with all amenities you can ask for. Situated in a lovely big garden. Breakfast is served on your terrace, which is very nice. Peaceful place with its own beach area, which we appreciated a lot. Very helpful and supportive staff and the owner, Seif, was also very nice.
