Excellent hideaway. Rest your head and soul at this beautiful spot. Amazing rooms overlooking the ocean and a stunning garden. Lots of lovely corners and ideas, details and decorations. AMAZING food - all we had on 2 days was amazingly fresh and tasteful. Highly recommended paradise!

Always fabulous! The reason why I go back time after time. My hideaway away from the crowds with rooms overlooking the turquoise Indian Ocean in the comfort of my own privacy! The full moon rising over the ocean is something to experience that you cannot even describe in in words, from your room! Staff and management so friendly and spontaneous.

We stayed here 3 nights to end our Tanzania trip. The location and view from the rooms are stunning. The private beachfront of these rooms are a wonderful way to relax. The entire property is just beautiful and well put together. The staff is friendly and attentive. The menu changes each day and has several options to choose from, all meals were great. We would love to return someday.If you need safe, reliable and cost friendly transportation around the island, I recommend our driver, Muba. He can be contacted on WhatsApp at +255 777 860 380.

Loved this place; so much love and thought gone into the rooms, the gardens. The F&B options were great and staff were always really friendly and attentive. The privacy of the villas was a great touch.

What an amazingly tranquil place! If youre looking to unwind this is the place to do it. Lovely bungalows right on the edge of a small coral cliff with the sound of the Indian ocean lapping against it. High quality food and great service. A very chilled out pool and bar area with plenty space for guests to find a spot to vegetate. Sunday Sessions is a treat adding a festive atmosphere with music and pizza. Well be back.

My wife and I got married here on Feb 14. Chris and his staff were prompt, friendly, courteous and attentive to all our needs. They helped us arrange everything we needed from laundry to a wedding officiant. Really took a lot of the stress out of everything. The decorations were amazing and the view from our cottage was spectacular! Whether youre looking for a wedding venue or a great place to stay, in Zanzibar, I highly recommend Seasons Lodge!

I only stopped by from next door for food and drinks, and they were delicious. The property is much larger, and a lot more stunning than it appears from the oceanside view. I enjoyed relaxing there for lunch and dinner, and the vibe is very chill. Great time and great service.

What an amazing experience. Hidden in Pongwe it is one of the best resort Ive visited in a long time. The view is absolutely breathtaking and Christopher and his team goes out of their way to make the experience as memorable as possible. There are a range of activities that you can organise on and off the premises. Breakfast is amazing and there are a choice of different full or half board lunch and suppers. Will definitely like to visit again.

AVOID IF POSSIBLE!Good location but incorrect price calculation. On checkout try to put extra charges. (in my case food), Overcharge the booking prrice with 5% if pay by card, After final calculation overcharge with 15 usd due error, finally returned in cash

My husband, my son and I spent amazing moments at Seasons Lodge. The hotel room is rustic-majestic, and the view of the white sand and sky blue ocean from the comfort of our room is breathtaking. Sleeping and waking up to the sounds of the waves was simply refreshing. The hotel staff so nice and welcoming, and kid-friendly. We had lifetime memories and the imagery and heavenly beauty of the hotels fusion with flowers, sand and ocean, will always be engraved in our minds, and bring us a wide smile when we think about our trip there.

Do not expect the best things, but expect to have a wonderful journey directly on the beach! And i mean it! Wether a cottage or a sea view room (we tried both) you will love sleeping with open doors and hearing the voice of the ocean while high and low tide! Amazing chilling areas! Amazing staff! I strongly recommend this place.

Review №21

By far this is the best place in Zanzibar! Cabins are rustic, clean, very spacious and have spectacular view of the sea. Not to mention they are very private and secluded. Staff is amazing and goes above and beyond your expectation. The chef in the kitchen creates amazing dishes fresh every day. Since its smaller place its quiet, secluded, and chilling. In the future we stay only here again!

Paradise. The staff are always happy and willing to assist. The tide goes out for miles revealing and awesome white beach with rock pools teeming with crabs n fish. The beach huts here are really comfortable and the sea views are breathtaking. Special mention to Grayson who went over and above to make sure our stay was everything we had dreamed it would be.

This lodge has amazing beachfront views from the bed. The staff are great. The food is good. The site is nicely done. Dont drive the straight road from town unless youre in a tank. Stick to the tarmac. Honestly though, if youre looking to sleep as close to the sea as possible come here.

Review №24

This resort deserves more than the 5 stars Google offers. This is a very laid back atmosphere, great facilities and beach front, really good food and a vast variety of drinks. Chris and his team is the best, also happy to help with any request and always offered friendly service no matter the time of the day or night.

Review №25

I didnt stay here, but I did get breakfast while visiting nearby. The coffee was a full French press, which was a pleasant surprise. It was on the pricey side, given that Im closer to a backpacker than a luxury vacationer, and Id have liked more a la carte options but the relative remoteness of the hotel might make that a bit hard.

The Seasons Lodge is heaven on earth. We stayed there 3 days and it was our best experience in Zanzibar. The place is excellent in several ways. The service is spectacular and practically personalized, they call you by name. They are always ready to give you a good experience, help you with what is needed and make you feel special. The decor is rustic, harmonious and very romantic. Sensational location provides all the time a beautiful view of the sea. From our cabin it was possible to watch the sunrise, practically from the foot of the bed, on a private mini-beach.All the meals we made were simply delicious. We stayed on the island for 15 days and the Seasons was the place that most surprised us. Certainly will return someday.O Seasons Lodge é o paraíso na terra. Ficamos hospedados por lá 3 dias e foi a nossa melhor experiência em Zanzibar. O lugar é excelente em vários aspectos. O atendimento é espetacular e praticamente personalizado, te chamam pelo nome. Estão sempre prontos para proporcionar uma boa experiência, ajudar no que for necessário e te fazer se sentir especial. A decoração é rústica, harmoniosa e muito romântica. Localização sensacional proporciona o tempo todo uma linda visão do mar. Da nossa cabana era possível assistir o nascer do sol, praticamente do pé da cama, em uma mini praia particular.Todas as refeições que fizemos estavam simplesmente deliciosas. Nós ficamos na ilha 15 dias e o Seasons foi o lugar que mais nos surpreendeu. Certamente voltaremos um dia.

The dirtiest and most unkept place I ever been to.Its a shame as the settings and the ideas are fantastic.It surely was a paradise some time (long time) so, but now it is just awful to see how badly it is managed.The bathrooms areaextremely dirty.You need to use shoes everywhere also inside the house.The floor hasnt been washed in decades.What a shame for such a fantastic place.This is a 4 star foing nowhere until they change owner and invest a lot in cleaning the place up, repairing, maintaining and adding services.

Cosy & Private Slice of Paradise. Take off your shoes n let your feet soak in the soft sand. Enjoy Pristine Views of am Azure Turquoise Blue ocean that rises n draws back with changes in the Tide. Hold your Breath to one of the Spectacular views of the Sun rising from the East Coast. My Pictures dont really Justify what Ive written here coz I only arrived there at sunset & didnt have enough Daylight. Will go back again next weekend to capture more Spectacular memories & pictures. Their Rooms offer Privacy & Intimacy with a Section of the Beach thats only Visible to you. Everything including the open Restaurant & Lounge areas are on the edge of a Coral Rock. Will go Back asap & share more Pictures n updates.

Review №37

Can I just give a shout out to this hidden gem- the rooms are on a coral reef and you have kind of like ur own private beach, and look at the view from my bed.I have posted it belowIt’s a small hotel, with a few rooms in a secluded area.Perfect for honeymoonersTheir meals are prefixed and delicious - and they have their meal tables also overlooking the beach.So breathtakingThe only downside- the beach has too many corals and you can’t really swim in it

A very intimate, small, quiet Hotel. Lots of greenery, away from the crowds of tourists. All bungalows (only 9) overlooking the ocean :) + private beach !!! (100% privacy) A fairy tale.Tasty food at reasonable prices. Lovely view from the room.no glass on the ocean side, so a light breeze in the room :) 3 wonderful dogs on the premises. Big pets :)Very good location - Relatively good access to every corner of the island, which I consider to be a huge plus because commuting can be sometimes lengthy and troublesome.Overall, my wife and I are very satisfied +++++One small minus is the communication problems with the waitresses :)

A little corner of paradise far from the mass tourism of the north of the island and the large impersonal hotels. Here everything is done for your relaxation and your comfort: the bungalows are large, clean, the swimming pool very pleasant and well maintained, the delicious cuisine based on fish and seafood brought by the fishermen themselves. Not really a beach where to laze at high tide in front of the lodge but charming relaxation areas are set up everywhere and you have a mini beach with deckchairs in front of your bungalow and the swimming pool. We are at home and the team led by Christopher is smiling and attentive. Lovers of shopping and dj refrain, here we rest, we walk to the coral reef at low tide, we fish, we dream in front of this incredible view. Beach party on Sunday with piped music. Thank you all for an unforgettable stay!

Review №82

The view from the lodge is magnificent, you have a small private beach which overlooks the top of the rocks with the sea below accessible by not very practical stairs.The lodges could use a refresh, the doors do not close well and open at night due to the wind, the curtains that are too small allow light to pass through. The room where you leave the clothes smells of damp after 8night my clothes stank of dampness!Cockroach in the bathroom, as soon as you take a shower the bathroom is full of water and a lot of blackout.On Sundays there is a day-evening with music where locals come to enjoy the hotel, it is very noisy from noon to midnight and they do not respect the people who stay at the hotel.Postcard place which is like in the photos but once there you realize that it is not worth the price because many small details come to remove the charm of this place.Stay too long for me (8 nights) because there is nothing to do in the surroundings and the hotel does not offer any activities there is indeed a ping-pong and billiards table but the rackets are in poor condition and there is lack of billiard balls.The pool is small if there are people who cannot fit in it.However pleasant staff and the 3 dogs add a bonus to the hotel.

If you are looking for heaven on earth, its here.Super warm welcome, the bungalows are exceptional, with a private sand projection, which allows you to admire the sunrise in peace.Provision of kayaks and bicycles to explore the surroundings.Amazing all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast with a few specialties and prepared by the chef live and in front of us.Super friendly and family hotel you feel really good and at home, it is extremely quiet.The pool and bar area is really beautiful and well decorated with great places to rest.And the beach, THE BEACH, omg, the most beautiful, heavenly, without anyone with a breathtaking sandbank.The hotel is super green, we even saw kinds of small lemurs in the coconut trees 😍 there are also 2 adorable dogs who are there 😍The bed is huge and super comfortable. Incredibly large and clean rooms.The evening dinner changes every evening, very good nothing to say, with vegetarian option👌🙏If I had to choose just one hotel to return to it would definitely be this one. ♥ ️😍

Review №85

The room is splendid, we liked it 200%. The green side too.On the other hand the wifi is mediocre, impossible to make a phone call.The staff does not reflect the warm welcome you can find in zanzibar.The service without a smile, the wait, in short ... maybe this is the wrong time of year. Fortunately we were greeted by the manager who is really different from his staff!In short: the room and one nice person!

Located in a paradisiacal lagoon with colors never seen anywhere else, this corner of paradise is in the calm of the effervescence of zanzibar. Bungalow of dream located in front of the sea with an irreproachable service always with the small care. Massage possible in his bungalow or on the terrace. The food is local, excellent and plentiful. Excellent value for money, one of the best hotels in Zanzibar

It is a great place, if what you are looking for is to rest and throw yourself to the bartola in paradise.To put only one downside, they are not prepared for the rain. It rained for a day and a half and absolutely everything gets wet. They had to give us dinner in the room.
