Flame Tree Cottages were an amazing find! We stayed here for 3 weeks, and every day was perfect! The staff are a complete credit to the hotel. They are super helpful, always smiling and nothing is too much trouble. The cottages are super cute, and positioned as such you don’t have neighbours, just your own beautiful gardens to look over. The food is amazing (especially the jumbo prawns, chapatis, and coconut pumpkin curry) and the restaurant is a front row seat for the wonderful sunset. There is nothing like eating dinner with your feet in the sand! And if you forget your sandals, they are discreetly delivered to outside your door, thank you! The swimming pool is well equipped with sun beds and umbrellas and you can while away the time with just birdsong to keep you company. Staff will bring you drinks and snacks or meals by the beach, the pool or on your private veranda. We cannot rate Flame Tree Cottages highly enough. The staff and owners really care about their guests. Far better than an 500 room faceless hotel. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

We stayed 5 nights. The garden was lovely, large room, comfortable bed, the bathroom unfortunately was pretty old and not really clean. Breakfast was also average, but it was nice to be served on our veranda. Staff was nice.

Directly on the beach, but with plenty of security. The food was not great, even the breakfast, which are served very nicely at your room. I had to ask for salt/pepper twice rather than it simply being on the table. as well as jams.

Fantastic Place
We stayed for a couple of nights at Flame Tree Cottage and had a great stay there. The rooms were nice, spacious and clean, with hot water at all times. It was located right next to the ocean with great views out to sea. The staff were great and we met the owners who were very friendly. Breakfast was served on the balcony of each room which was a nice touch. Would thoroughly recommend.

Poor experience, this place is way to expensive comparing to the comfort. On top of this the smell over there is terrible... but I guess it is not their fault !

Very close to the village community
Not much to do there especially if it rains wich was unfortunate as it was for a whole week. Weak Wifi you can surf the internet but not stream or download. Friendly staff and good food at the on site reastarant. I wouldn’t suggest going to Nungwi for 2 week one week is enough. Yoga lessons are quite repetitive.

Warm & cozy local hotel with great staff
At first glance, this is just a simple hotel with far less of the amenities and infrastructure of the Doubletree 5 minutes away. There were glitches with minor plumbing issues but the staff immediately attended to every concern, and the owner personally got on the phone to apologize and give us a generous discount for the inconvenience. The overall warmth of the staff, and the simple but comfortable facilities really won us over. Excellent food, responsive service, and we got the best price directly from the hotel for the sunset snorkeling cruise that everyone on the beach is trying to sell. We much prefer this locally owned and green hotel to other chain hotels. The staff were incredibly solicitous. We would stay here again.
