| The
hotel |
This is where it all happens in Nungwi. After burning down two years ago, the owners have restored the place to almost its original state, with the exception of a couple of new additions and nicer rooms.
If you are looking to be at the centre of all the action in Nungwi, then this is
definitely the place to be. The place is full of vibey younger people. They have a huge array of facilities from a dive shop to an internet café to a boutique. You could actually
just stay here and not go anywhere else if you liked, as it is all here.
The hotel is locally owned and run by a Kenyan chap, Andrew. They are centrally located in Nungwi, making them easily accessible to the villages and surrounding areas. We like the vibe of the place, as it is always busy, there is always something to do
or a place to go. They have a festive pub in the Blue Sea restaurant which can go on until the early hours of the morning. If you enjoy partying, then this pub, together with Cholo’s just up the road, should keep you going during your stay.

| The
rooms |
Amaan Bungalows' rooms have been divided up into 4 categories, however, we will not sell type D rooms, as they are way too basic.
The best rooms by far are the Sea Front Rooms. These 5 rooms are located just about in the ocean on a cliff. They have a fantastic balcony where you can sit and overlook the ocean enjoying cocktails. These rooms are bigger than the other rooms, and come furnished in a Zanzibar style. The rooms could do with a woman’s touch though, just to make it that little bit cozier. They have en suite bathrooms with hot water.
The 10 Type A rooms are located behind the sea front rooms in a U shape facing on to the gardens. These are comfortable with en suite bathrooms and a hot water shower.
They have 14 type B rooms, located further away from the beachfront. These are pretty basic, with en suite facilities, but only cold water in their showers. It is very hot in Zanzibar, and often hot water is not a prerequisite, however if you like that little bit of warmth in your water, then the Type A rooms would definitely be better.
The 10 Type C rooms are for backpackers with shared ablution facilities and are very basic.
All rooms have mosquito nets and ceiling fans
