Z Hotel

This is a good hotel for the younger crowd looking for a bit of nightlife, coupled with a very good beach although you could be hassled by ‘beach boys’. It’s in the centre of the busy village of Nungwi and attracts the young European market looking for inexpensive fun and a party. Credit to the hotel, it has great rooms and a relatively good restaurant but the location, good beach or not, it is very busy and difficult to find your own space.
