Overview:

Neptune Pwani was originally an independent hotel which was bought by a larger luxury hotel group. The service is fantastic and the food sensational for the all-inclusive buffet style experience. There is a fresh fish grill, pasta station (where you create your own dishes) and then more traditional style buffet meals served by smiling chefs. The selection of cheese and chocolate based desserts is pretty much unrivalled in Zanzibar, though we know the secret to be a monthly food container shipped from Italy! Pizzeria, a la carte restaurant, you’ll not be disappointed with the food and wine.

Naturally seafood and traditional Zanzibari dishes are served alongside the international favourites. The resort itself is spacious and never feels too crowded. A natural line of palm trees on the beach provide shade over sun loungers and the huge free form pools are perfect for families, friends and couples to relax around. There’s a swim-up bar and baraza area in the centre of the main pool.

Community & Conservation:

Neptune is one of the few hotels in Zanzibar that has been harnessing solar power for over 5 years now. They strive to employ and train their staff from surrounding villages and use local farms and fishermen to supply their kitchens. The wider hotel group supports East African arts projects and more recently joined the Ecotourism Kenya group to support eco and sustainable tourism in Kenya.
