    The place is beautifully, also after that we gave a look around I still think that this place is the best. Take the room in front of the sea, u will never regret it. The place is clean, workers spay per mosquitos, clean and change bedsheet towels everyday. Owners are always available and able to sort you out from any problem (covid test, airport shuttle etc). Ps, food is amazing, take the grilled mixed sea food or the sea food pasta (and as italian I know how pasta has to taste like). Enjoy the place guys

    The view is just breathtaking. I was in one of the beach-facing bungalows with the waves lapping no more than 20 metres from the end of the bed. To see the sunrise and the moonrise from your bed, as well as to see the traditional Dhow fisherman sail by every now and then was just magical. Sublime, even. Muhammed was always readily available to help organize and advise on tours and activities and to help with navigating the local area - ordering taxis, helping you to locate the nearest pharmacy or the nearest barber and so on. The owner Anna was extremely polite and made me feel very welcome indeed. The pool was always super clean and there are many lounge chairs, swinging beds and hammocks to lie on and enjoy the stunning view and the sun. Bliss. In general the accommodation was excellent value for money and very much in line with the standards in Zanzibar. I stayed at Mnana for 8 nights and while the food was excellent (especially the seafood) it did get a bit repetitive by the very end. There were frequent power cuts (beyond the control of Mnana) which meant that there were some times during my stay where the air conditioning, WiFi and hot water did not work. This wasn't so much of an issue though as I was not there to surf the internet but to enjoy the view. I would definitely come back.

    Small piece of paradise on the east coast of Zanzibar. Beautifully rustic bungalows with bathroom, mosquito nets and fan. All bungalows have sea views. Delicious breakfast included in very affordable rates. Restaurant serves good food. Stone Town day trips and snorkeling can be arranged. Quiet and romantic alternative to the busy north and west coast, especially out of season. This place is perfectly managed and kept. Idyllic garden with plenty of sunbeds, hammocks and swings to lounge on. Whispering palmtrees. Spent 7 nights there and can't wait to go back. FABulous.

    This place was like a dream. Very quiet, right on the beach. You can see the sunrise from your bed. The rooms were clean and the staff is friendly. The food is also very good, they make the best curry. Tasty breakfast and super delicious fresh juice ❤ best place if you would like a relaxed vacation.

    I loved this little spot. Tucked right on the beach, each bungalow has a view of the crystal clear water. The grounds are beautiful and look exactly like the photos. They have so many great lounging spots including several hammocks and hanging beds. As a solo female traveler I felt safe safe and Mohammed and his team were very helpful. They booked a reservation for me at The Rock, as well as a snorkeling tour, and transportation to the airport when I left. The food was okay but there are plenty of other restaurants and hotels to chose from in the vicinity.

    A magical location with simple but appropriately appointed chalets overlooking the screensaver picturesque turquoise sea . This is a quiet area on the Eastern coast, away from the more popular noisy northern tourist beaches. It can be windy, as it tgere is no protection from tge Indian Ocean. It is a perfect spot to unwind with charming owners.

    (Translated by Google) A great place for everyone who loves contact with nature, sleep and hear the sound of the sea, get up and even in a light barefoot shirt go out to the white beach and you can massage your legs with a wave, wonderful, free and friendly, simple but clean and fragrant and ... delicious food and every morning for breakfast fresh juice from exotic fruits (Original) Super miejsce dla wszystkich którzy uwielbiają kontakt z naturą, śpisz i słyszysz szum morza, wstajesz i nawet w lekkiej koszulce na boso wychodzisz na białą plażę i możesz masować nogi morską falą, cudownie, swobodnie i przyjaźnie, prosto ale czysto i pachnąco i ... pyszne jedzonko a co rano do śniadania świeży sok z egzotycznych owoców

    (Translated by Google) The place itself is very nice - beautiful houses, beautiful surroundings of the facility, lots of comfortable places to relax and lie down - hammocks, couches, couches. For this clean and friendly service. A paradise for lovers or people looking for peace and relaxation. The problem with this place is the stony entrance to the water and difficulty with bathing. You must have bathing shoes to protect against sea urchins. I will not go there for the second time just across this beach. (Original) Miejsce samo w sobie bardzo ładne - śliczne domki, piękne otoczenie obiektu, dużo komfortowych miejsc do wypoczynku i leżenia - hamaki, kanapy, leżanki. Do tego czysto i miła obsługa. Taki raj dla zakochanych lub osób szukających ciszy i wypoczynku. Problemem tego miejsca jest kamieniste wejście do wody i trudność z kąpielą. Trzeba mieć buty kąpielowe chroniące przed jeżowcami. Drugi raz tam nie pojadę właśnie przez tę plażę.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice and simple accommodations with a beautiful beach view. German owner allows easy access to information if you don't speak English very well. In most cases, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Good service and family atmosphere. Trips to Stone Town, dolphin trips, other islands, snorkeling, spice farm etc are offered inexpensively (compare to Stone Town 50% cheaper, Beach Boys can be even cheaper) The rocky beach begins right in front of the hotel with a path into the sea. After a good 5m the sand / beach begins. The beach is relative, as there is practically no beach in front of the hotel when the tide is high. 20m to the right or left is again a sandy beach. At low tide the water retreats a good 50m. The food is delicious, but not the best in terms of value for money compared to other restaurants on the beach. We have been here for two weeks, which felt a bit long, unless you go on an excursion every day. (Original) Sehr schöne und einfache Unterkünfte mit wunderschönem Strandblick. Deutsche Besitzerin ermöglicht leichten Zugang zu Informationen, wenn man nicht so gut Englisch kann. Das Personal ist in den meisten Fällen sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Guter Service und familiäre Atmosphäre. Reisen zu Stone Town, Delfinreisen, anderen Inseln, Schnorcheln, Gewürzfarm etc werden kostengünstig angeboten (vergl. Zu Stonetown 50% günstiger, Beach Boys können noch günstiger sein) Genau vor dem Hotel beginnt der Strand mit Fels mit einem Weg ins Meer. Nach gut 5m beginnt der Sand / Strand. Der Strand ist relativ, da bei Flut vor dem Hotel quasi kein Strand existiert. 20m rechts oder links ist wieder Sandstrand. Bei Ebbe zieht sich das Wasser gut 50m zurück. Das Essen ist lecker, wenn aber auch nicht das beste im Preis-Leistungsverhältnis verglichen mit anderen Restaurants am Strand. Wir sind zwei Wochen hier gewesen, was gefühlt aber etwas lang wahr, außer man macht jeden Tag einen Ausflug.

    Went to lounge by the pool and have their prawn curry, which was excellent. Friendly staff and a great view of the ocean!

  • 5/5 Silas M. 2 years ago on Google
    Yohhhh. Unexpected peace. The place is not quaint. It is just plain paradise. The rooms are awesome. The beds are firm and the bedding white as newly fallen snow. Anna The host treated us like her family, she knows the island and understands being a visitor on this island. The excursions with the guides are seamless and perfected. The juice is freshly made with each 2 glasses from fresh mangoes or granadilla or whatever is in season. The fooooooood, the rice, ohhhhh the fresh prawns and lobster and the fish Masala... I loved eating here. 5 days not seen anyone smoking, not added salt to my food, not felt the need to want to see tv, no fast foods in site.... pure paradise. The water kisses your feet when you open your bungalow. The infinity pool is crystal clear. From here to Page you can walk for 20 minutes or bike there or daladala there or special hire there to buy things. You can sleep all day you can be in the warm ocean water all day(feels like a heated spa) you can be happy all day floating on a wooden dhow. You can find the most incredible instagram moments before even leaving Mnana bungalows. Free reliable wifi...Yohhhhh I am happy I tell you. Try the tea, there is a selection of 20 teas and coffee. Try the caramel flavored tea. Try Mnana.

    Beautiful area right on the water with a refreshing pool. A little hard to get to from the outside via taxi since it's just in a weird location, but awesome staff and stay.

  • 5/5 Magdalena Adrover G. 1 year ago on Google
    This hotel is so cute and well taken care of... it was a total delight to spend some days there. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy some quiet, as it is far from other more touristic places in Zanzibar. The stuff, as well as the owner, are very nice, smiling and friendly. The gardens and swimming pool have an impressive views to the ocean, with plenty of hammocks, sun-beds and sofas to hang out. The rooms are very nicely decorated. We booked one without air conditioning, but it had a fan on the wall and that was enough for us. They spray the rooms every day to avoid insects. The food is nice, and the breakfast is big and with fresh fruits and freshly made eggs. Their offer of cocktails, and drinks is good too. Overall, a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun, the ocean and long walks on the beach.

    Great for a few days. Secure parking, but very limited places. Staff is really helpful. Beach is literally 20m away

  • 4/5 Christian W. 4 years ago on Google
    Calm and cosy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The food was good but the bungalows might be a bit hot. The snorkelling the host arrange was great.

  • 4/5 I I. 4 years ago on Google
    Bungalows are quite decent, the bed sheets are clean, there is mosquito spray inside, the bathroom could be better (there is no wall between bathroom and bedroom). The common area / inside garden has many places to lay on including hanging beds which are extremely relaxing. The food is ok. Wifi works well. A bit hard to find the place, as there are three accomodations in the same area.

  • 3/5 Kanyanta S. 4 years ago on Google
    A very nice African village concept small resort, on the eastern beaches of Zanzibar. Very well crafted eco-friendly rooms and furnishings. The sound of the ocean sends you to sleep in the night and wakes you up in the morning

    We had a great time with my family for a week! Loved the intimate feel, the elegant simplicity and especially the very close proximity to the beach. The comfortable lounges were everywhere and perfect for relaxing or napping. We had almost every meal together and enjoyed eating at the restaurant there, very well attended to by all the staff! Hope to return.

    (Translated by Google) Great resort run by Anna, she is a great woman with a big heart and you can feel that from the start when you come here. Great bungalows with a sea view, very good food. Great access to the beach, very good location. Perfect for relaxing. Had a great time with our kids! Little paradise on earth !!! 💙 Thank you, family from Vienna (Original) Großartiges Resort geleitet von Anna, sie ist eine tolle Frau mit einem großen Herzen und das spürt man von Anfang an wenn man hier her kommt.

    (Translated by Google) These bugs are made of palm leaves. The floor is made of concrete and a terrace with sand. Sand is in the restaurant. The surroundings of the bungalows and everything here are decorated in a typical Zanzibar style from the local materials. Breakfast is a small choice, but absolutely sufficient and varied. If someone is seeking Zanzibar accommodation with a beautiful rural atmosphere, with very cordial and dear people, I recommend this place. I also have to emphasize if you want sterile accommodation, and if you are bothered with the insect or small animal, do not come here. Wi-Fi is not too fast, but the signal comes to the bungalows, so you can make basic things in the room. (Original) Ovi bugalovi su izrađeni od listova palme. Pod je od betona a terasa s pijeskom. Pijesak je i u restoranu. Okolina bungalova i sve ovdje je uređeno u tipičnom Zanzibarskom stilu od ovdašnjih materijala. Doručak je s malim izborom, no apsolutno dovoljan i raznolik. Ako netko traži Zanzibarski smještaj s prekrasnom ruralnom atmosferom, s jako srdačnim i dragim ljudima, preporučam ovo mjesto. Također moram naglasiti, ako želite sterilni smještaj, te ako vam smeta pokoji insekt ili mala životinjica nemojte doći ovdje. Wi-fi nije previše brz, međutim signal dolazi do bungalova, tako da osnovne stvari možete napraviti i u sobi.

    I loved the garden, the food and the service, the only downside was the rain and a strange smell in the bungalow.

  • 5/5 The Wild W. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice and quiet place to stay, beautiful bungalows with charming furnitures, some are just on the beach front. The team is discret and provide you anything you want...and last but not least the food is very tasty with good value! I recommend widely if you want a tiny peace of beautiful Zanzibar.

    Great place to stay lovely beach and very good seafood. Wifi was very fast if you we’re close to the main building. Bungalows got a bit hot sometimes. In conclusion it was a great experience and I would surely recommended staying here.

    (Translated by Google) Hotel on the beachfront. The cabins are made with palm leaves, which allows you to hear everything that happens next to the cabin and, at night, it can be annoying if the tenants of the nearby cabins make noise. The size of the room is a bit fair, but enough to move. The floor of the cabins is concrete and the rest of the establishment is covered with sand, which makes it very pleasant to walk around the establishment. Very careful with mosquitoes, they throw insecticide in the middle of the afternoon so that there are no mosquitoes in the cabins. You can relax by drinking a beer and reading a book from one of its sofas while watching the sea a few meters away. The staff is very friendly (Original) Hotel en primera línea de playa. Las cabañas están hechas con hojas de palmera, lo que permite que se oiga todo lo que sucede junto a la cabaña y, por la noche, puede resultar algo molesto si los inquilinos de las cabañas cercanas hacen ruido. El tamaño de la habitación es un poco justo, pero suficiente para poder moverte. El suelo de las cabañas es de hormigón y el del resto del establecimiento está cubierto de arena, lo que hace que sea muy agradable andar por el establecimiento. Muy cuidadosos con los mosquitos, echan insecticida a mitad tarde para que no hayan mosquitos en las cabañas. Puedes relajarte tomando una cerveza y leyendo un libro desde alguno de sus sofás mientras ves el mar a pocos metros. El personal es muy agradable
