Absolutely fantastic. After reading so many negative reviews about the disturbance from the construction I was a little worried, but it was never a bother and our stay was perfect. Shout out to Wanduta for being the sweetest!

The hotel was nice although the food quality did not meet a 5 star standard. The food at the buffet and pool bar were very low quality and I was indeed surprised by the small variety of options. The rooms were nice and spacious.

We had an incredible stay at The Pongwe for our honeymoon. Frank and the entire staff were wonderful and made our stay extra special from start to finish, from the room presentation to a special dinner at the end of our trip and fresh flowers to celebrate our new marriage at every meal. The location is lovely, quiet and clean. You feel like you’re transported to a different world when you’re on the island. The food every night was out of this world, with dinners particularly spectacular with fresh seafood including lobster and crab. This place left a warm feeling in our hearts - we would recommend it, highly!
