    I didn't stay at White Dream but my wife, son and I ate here.... probably the best vegan pizza on the island, hands down! We've eaten a lot of great pizzas, including Cape Town and Rome, so this was a great surprise! So lucky to enjoy this -- and the owner Ivana is fab! Very friendly but gives you plenty of space, so not intrusive at all! Highly recommend eating here!

    (Translated by Google) We stayed at white Dream (Kiwengwa) from 5th to 11th September, and then visited Nugwi (north of the island) the second week. I only tell you that despite having already paid for the second hotel, in the middle of the second week we decide to return to WhiteD. from our Ivana and an exceptional cook ... Andrea! It was our first time in Africa and it wouldn't have been the same if I hadn't chosen the white Dream. I did not find owners but friends, unique people with an excellent and friendly staff, clean rooms not to mention the restaurant, I tried different ones between the two locations and even if I have not traveled all over the island I am almost sure that Andrea be number ONE! For the quality and goodness of the products, Pizza ?! Great! You must try the squid tartare (GIVE THAT DISH A MEDAL) all right on the beach. If I had to go back, I would always choose the White Dream. Hope to see you again as soon as possible !!!! A hug to Ivana, Andrea, Vittorio and all the staff. Marianna (Original) Abbiamo soggiornato al white Dream (Kiwengwa) dal 5 al 11 settembre, per poi visitare Nugwi (nord dell'isola) la seconda settimana. Vi dico solo che nonostante avessimo già pagato il secondo hotel, a metà della seconda settimana decidiamo di tornare al WhiteD. dalla nostra Ivana e da un cuoco eccezionale...Andrea! È stata la nostra prima volta in Africa e non sarebbe stato lo stesso se non avessi scelto il white Dream. Non ho trovato dei proprietari ma degli amici, persone uniche con uno staff eccellente e cordiale, stanze pulite per non parlare del ristorante, ne ho provati di diversi tra le due località e anche se non ho girato tutta l'isola sono quasi sicura che Andrea sia il numero UNO! Per la qualità e la bontà dei prodotti, La pizza?! Ottima! Dovete provare la tartare di calamari (DATE UNA MEDAGLIA A QUEL PIATTO) il tutto direttamente sulla spiaggia. Se dovessi tornare indietro, sceglierei sempre il White Dream. Spero di rivedervi il prima possibile!!!! Un abbraccio a Ivana, Andrea, Vittorio e a tutto lo staff. Marianna

    A great place to stay at. We had a beach bungalow with a sea and pool view, which was good equipped with a new conditioner. The host Monica is amazing, always trying to help and make living at the hotel like home. The place is very quite, may say romantic (could spend time in the library lounge in the evening totally alone). Breakfast is not of a great variety, but ok. Tea time at 4 o'clock A very good Italian restaurant-all that we tried was delicious! Pizza, lobsters, wine, salads, etc. Highly recommend.

    White Dream is a beautiful little Boutique Hotel directly on the white beach of Kiwengwa. We loved everything about it. The room was beautiful and clean, if you step out you are directly on the beach. When there’s low tide, you can use their beautiful infinity pool and enjoy a few ice cold drinks. The staff was amazing and helpful and did their best to make us feel welcome. Dinner was also good and there are a lot of options around at the beach to go out for lunch, dinner and drinks. Quite a quiet area but we loved every minute! We would definitely come back. Thanks to Ivana and the whole White Dream team

    Very friendly stuff. It is not 5* hotel ( no fridge in the room, no water kettle, no safety box, no private parking, only small public road option...) but has direct aproach to the beach from rooms, so you can enjoy your meal on the same beach, view as well, nice and clean pool...Breakfast is limited ( few options only ), but quiet enough to start your day...For lunch and dinner you have a lot of options! Nevertheless, every recommendation for this place!!!

    I am writing this review for the Restaurant. I have not been in the lodge. The food in the restaurant is great! I've been here twice for the tuna tartare and their authentic pizza. The location is nice with a refreshing breeze since it's near the beach. 5 start recommend :)

  • 5/5 Άντζελα �. 5 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    We stayed 5 nights on this hotel and it was an amazing experience. The location is perfect as you are just by the beach on walking distance and all the rooms have the amazing view of the beach. The hotel provided us with breakfast which was tasty and fresh made . The hotels restaurant was great they have a variety of fresh sea food and other cuisines. The whole staff was very friendly, they were smiling all the time and they assisted us with everything. The rooms were cleaned and tidy every day by the house keeping. The pool bar was fantastic with a great variety of drinks and cocktails and especially the bartender Piter was making us every day amazing cocktails and his was very hardworking and happy to serve us. We will come back for sure and we highly recommend this place . Thank you white dream for your great hospitality!!!

    Awesome food! We came here everyday for lunch and dinner. The only place on the island where we didn’t feel betrayed. Staff there is also super friendly.

  • 5/5 Amedeo p. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Lovely place, Italian owners. Few but well-kept rooms. Ten meters from the shore. Great pizza in the wood oven. All very attentive and kind (Original) Posto incantevole, proprietari italiani. Poche camere ma ben curate. A dieci metri dal bagnasciuga. Pizza nel forno a legna ottima. Tutti molto attenti e gentili

  • 5/5 Matthieu De N. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding service, even when arriving at 4am. Gentle and polite personnel, enough diversity for the breakfast, Italian classy and tasty cuisine, directly on the beach that is cleaned every morning, clean rooms with everything required... What else do you need more? Ideal if you are looking to visit the North and North East of Zanzibar (Mnemba, Kendwa,...).

  • 5/5 Roxana O. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy place, nice and clean rooms, right on the beach. The owner and the staff are so kind and helpfull. Also has a little restaurant with great food. I read the reviews before ariving that they have the best pizza in the area and oh...that is so true :) . We stayed for 6 days, had time to try a lot from the menu and all food was great. I highly recommend both, the hotel and the restaurant.

  • 1/5 Ima 1 year ago on Google
    This review is for the Italian restaurant only. I can't believe some people commented that the food was wonderful. It was absolutely horrible. I ordered the lasagna and it tasted like a microwave dinner. Very dry, no sauce. The cheese was sticky and flavorless. I'm really really shocked as I thought the owner might be Italian. My husband ordered ceviche and was equally disappointed. No flavor other than that of unseasoned raw fish. The salad we ordered with avocado was the only thing we could bear to stomach.

  • 5/5 Kai N. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh such a sweet sweet place. The outside seating is lovely. The food is wonderful too. Good Italian pizza. Will be hosting a full moon women's circle on their beach front tomorrow night and it truly is the perfect spot for it.

  • 5/5 Natasa De N. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We spent 15 beautiful days in total relaxation directly on the beach lulled by the waves of the sea and the Kimkaze ... What can I say, Ivana Andrea and staff keep up the good work and congratulations to the chef and Ciro for his delicious pizzas. See you soon Natasha, Pietro and Federico (Original) Abbiamo trascorso 15 giorni bellissimi in totale relax direttamente sulla spiaggia cullati dalle onde del mare e dal Kimkaze...Che dire , Ivana Andrea e staff continuate così complimenti.E complimenti allo chef e a Ciro per le sue buonissime pizze.A presto Natasha , Pietro e Federico

    Fabulous setting, lovely staff, a great menu and beautiful food, what more can you want?. (The best pizza I’ve found around here).

  • 5/5 Chiara 2 years ago on Google
    Best Italian restaurant in Kiwengwa! I've been to the White Dream a few times and always looking forward of going back! Pizza is proper Italian, the fish is fresh and the rest of them menu looks great. The location can't be better, just in front of the ocean!

  • 5/5 Belinda Noluthando M. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently hosted my birthday at the white dream and the service I received was exceptional. Alberto and his team went out of their way to ensure that my friends and I created ever lasting memories from the day we arrived till we left. Every detail of my request was done with perfection. The food was also amazing. I highly recommend the place

  • 5/5 Martina R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place with friendly staff. They offer what they say. Nice, clean rooms with sea view. Pizza/food was tasty and very affordable. Breakfast was decent. There was coffee and cake for the evening as well. The road that leads to the hotel is a bit bumpy but this was not a problem.

  • 2/5 L.a L. 1 year ago on Google
    Location is great. Beware of locked doors... seems like it is closed for locals. You have to ring the door bell. The food is overpriced for the quality you get. Service people not understanding English does not help to place the RIGHT order. Also when you leave a tip- don't expect to hear "thanks". Maybe it's just a culture.

  • 5/5 Carla J. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place and delicious food. We tried the King fish, Tuna, vegetarian pizza, vegetable curry and green salad and they are all superb. One of the best restaurants in Kiwengwa. Highly recommend. Great quality of food with reasonable prices.

  • 5/5 Ulrich H. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an extremely relaxing stay at the White Dream. Rooms are very clean and provide everything you need - even beach towels are provided. The restaurant on site has a great variety of dishes - we had mostly fish, which was right out of the sea. Make sure to taste the raw tuna salad - it's probably the best I had. Swimming is possible about 2h before to 2h after high tide, the outside riff provides good protection from waves and strong currents.

  • 4/5 Jozef D. 1 year ago on Google
    It was really a good five days here they have the best pizza , room is good bathroom excellent but there is no AC, but the weather was fine in December. I recommend to take high floor. They have best pizza in this beach, breakfast was ok, but only eggs no variation but overall its amazing.

    Beautiful restaurant,chill atmosphere,very kind and helpful staff. Very delicious plates. If you like seafood don’t forget to try the first plate in the menu: seafood for sharing…

  • 4/5 Stavriani Z. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a review on the restaurant: Location is great, the decoration, as well as cleanliness, we were very happy. The staff was very kind and helpful; not as fun or open as other places we have been, but still kind. The food was also good, I'd suggest it to someone, as we were happy with it! What was a turn off for me, and I looked for the owner to share it in person(they were not available), was their inexplicably rude answers in bad reviews on GOOGLE! Why show such a bad image? There will always be mediocre and bad reviews, you have a business. The way you respond to those shows more about who your business is, than the actual review. Better reconsider your approach to this!

    I can only confirm Ima‘s comment. We‘ve tried the restaurant yesterday evening and the food was horrible. Tuna was totally dry the rice was overcooked and my friend order marinated beef what was not edible at all. Not sure what happened to the restaurant! Hope they can improve again

    I tried the quattro formaggi pizza and the coconut ice cream - the pizza is very very delicious and the ice cream… by far the best I’ve ever had! The stuff is very friendly (as in any other place around the island👏), and the view is wonderful!

  • 5/5 Fabrizio S. 5 years ago on Google
    A stunning and very well managed small resort built on the amazing beach of kiwengwa. Only few rooms with a superb restaurant where anyone can taste local specialties and other delicious plates. The staff is very helpful and super friendly. Spacious Rooms well cleaned everyday. The view from the first floor room talks itself. Even if one will not stay there the restaurant has to be tasted at least once during your Zanzibar holiday. I strongly recommend it.

    Wow this place is absolutely gorgeous! It is literally on the beach, you can hear the ocean at night 🌊 It is located in a small village so it's very peaceful. The managers and staff were very welcoming, they made sure I had a great stay and didn't ask any awkward questions as I was a solo traveller. The food was outstanding and the prices very affordable! I couldn't recommend this place more, it's a true gem!

    It's the best place I've ever stayed at (and I travel a lot, both personally and professionally). The beach is the most beautiful I've ever seen, the location is peaceful, the whole place is spotlessly clean, food is delicious and - most importantly - staff is incredible. Everyone took great care of us and we would love to go back. Rooms are even better than in the photos and stepping out directly to the beach is the best feeling ever.

  • 5/5 Antonio J. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    We stayed 5 nights on this hotel and it was such an amazing experiencia. First of all, perfect location just in front of the beach with sea views. Chilling and relaxing guaranteed 200%. Pool with direct access to the beach and close to the pool bar. About dining, the breakfast was nice and complete, specially we loved the pancakes and fresh fruits. For lunch or dinner they have homemade pizzas in charcoal oven and fresh sea food (best lobster in the island). I would like to mention Peter from the pool bar for his hospitality and amazing cocktails. Rooms cleaned and tidy every day. Last but not least, the staff is incredible how they work and how friendly and professional they are. We will back very soon. Highly recommended. Asante sana.
