Tikitam Palms Boutique Hotel

Hotel in Pongwe

Set in Pongwe and featuring a private beach area on the East Coast of Zanzibar, Tikitam Palms Boutique Hotel boasts a swimming pool at the beach area with a pool bar.

The Tikitam resort, with its only 8 rooms is a real boutique, carefully accommodated in a lovely lush green garden with beautiful flowers, funky monkeys and delicate geckos. The hotel stays true to the local heritage and culture not only through the traditional architecture and interiors, generously decorated with antique art objects, but also by presenting the local cuisine and by inviting Zanzibarian musicians, who perform for hotel’s guests at themed dinners almost every night. What makes this place truly unique is the Tikitam team - every guest enjoys personal attention from all staff members. Starting with the warm welcome at the reception with refreshing fruit juice, through the spotlessly clean villas and rooms, beds set up with beautiful flower arrangements, attentive waiters and chefs, who prepare every day fresh jams and sauces from local fruits and vegetables. The amazingly knowledgeable pool attendant, who knows the whole area by heart would gladly show you a gorgeous starfish or a spiky puffer, teach you how to weave your own palm leaf hat and even how to play the famous bao game. Should you feel a need to pamper yourself, professional spa therapist is there to help you unwind and enjoy the local spa products. Last, but not least - almost invisible, yet absolutely real, tall masái will be looking after your comfort and safety. Finally, the dinner served at the beach will be a memory for a lifetime. Thank you Tikitam Team for your warm hospitality and care!

Pongwe Beach Hotel is embedded in a beautiful tropical garden and situated right at the beach. We‘ve loved its secluded location, the beach is not accessible during high tide and that means that you don‘t get bothered by beach boys as much (rarely ever, to be honest). We‘ve had a beach front room that was literally a stone‘s throw away from the beach, it couldn‘t have been any more convenient! The room was spacious and spotless, also our 14yr old daughter had a full single bed to use. The turn down service in the evening is something you don‘t usually see in that category, so we were pleasantly surprised. Another nice touch is the option to order early morning coffee / tea, that gets quietly delivered to your terrace from 07:00 am onwards, so as an early bird you can enjoy your first cup of coffee on the daybed of your room terrace and enjoy the wonderful beach view whilst others are still sleeping. We‘ve booked half board and were not disappointed - the menu was very diverse, each day you could choose between meat / fish / vegetarian options for your main course. There‘s a buffet twice a week as well, plus evening entertainment on 2 days, we‘ve enjoyed both very much! The staff is most welcoming and attentive, no matter if housekeeping, restaurant, reception….as a guest you feel your presence is appreciated and every wish is taken care of. I usually never book 3-star hotels, but with this one got tempted because of its exceptional reviews - and they are all true, so can highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!

    You need to take into consideration the feelings of your visitors....we do not like being targeted by people pestering us to buy from them every time we go to the beach. It really is a negative factor of visiting your wonderful island paradise....it spoiled it for us. Also this happened to us on other beaches in Zanzibar so not just a Pongwe problem....its endemic to Zanzibar.

    Pongwe is an isolated beach, at low tide the sea is very far away and, even at high tide, it is very shallow - you cannot swim. Kiwengwa beach, next door (10 minutes by car) is much better, more lively, with many shops and good hotels.

    Wonderful, kind and amazing staff, extremely polite and helpful; massage ladies were awesome, beautiful pool and rooms that were extremely comfortable and clean. Great food variety. Kitchen staff woke up early to make up breakfast so we could catch our flights. Good beach. The perfect quiet and private getaway in a beautiful location. Family friendly. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a small sized high-quality 5 star hotel. Would definitely go back again.

    I stayed at few hotels in Zanzibar and here it is different - original bush has been saved , added flowers and endemic plants.African style architecture blended inside the garden , tastefully decorated rooms and some villas, each has different theme. I like the local arts around.Pool on the secluded beach , so wonderfully relaxing …Life slows down🌴☀️The cuisine is absolutely delicious. I enjoyed Zanzibar traditional music band

    New, well-maintained, clean, nice pool, ocean right under your feet, very nice staff, Very affordable prices. A place for people who want silence, nothing more Located somewhere... No entertainment, you can walk along the beach in 30 minutes to the place where there are 4 nice hotels where you can eat well, and there is also a hotel and restaurant of a small island. Check the prices before.... Not everyone will enjoy them

    Hotel is located in Pongwe which is very quiet small town on the east coast. Right at the beach front, it's beautiful and enjoyable when high tide and not so windy. We liked also the snorkling experience with the local. Room was spacious and bed was massive and comfortable. Mostly wooden decor, it's ecological and also gives more local feelings.
