Blue Moon Resort

酒店很美！適合躺屍

We originally planned to stay at Blue Moon Resort for three nights, but we enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay for an extra night when our onward travel plans changed. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by warm, friendly, and hardworking staff who made us feel welcome. Check-in was simple, and we were given a tour of the hotel before being shown to our room, which was a nice touch. We booked a private pool room, which was clean, spacious, and very quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The pool area was surrounded by several large palm trees, adding to the tropical atmosphere. It was great floating in the pool, watching the palm trees above gently sway in the wind. The room had all the facilities we needed, including a minibar, Netflix on the TV, and an Alexa station, making it feel very modern and comfortable. Housekeeping did a great job, with the room cleaned daily to a high standard. There were only two minor drawbacks: 1. The wardrobe only had four hangers, which wasn’t enough for both of us. 2. The shower temperature fluctuated frequently, switching between very hot and cold every 30 seconds or so. The food at the hotel was excellent. The restaurant, which overlooks the main swimming pool and the ocean, provided a great dining setting. One evening, there was a meat and seafood BBQ buffet with a live band and singer. Breakfast was also really good. It was à la carte, and I enjoyed the vegetarian option, which included fresh avocado, stir-fried vegetables, and fresh pineapple juice. Pastries and a fruit platter were also provided as standard. The hotel grounds are expansive, well-maintained, and incredibly peaceful. With only a few guests around, it never felt crowded, making it the perfect place to unwind. One of our favourite spots was the jetty, where we spent time relaxing on the loungers and swimming in the sea. The water was warm, shallow, and calm, ideal for a refreshing swim. We also took short walks along the mostly rocky beach, where we visited a Maasai community shop on the beach and purchased some souvenirs. A few other things to note: Payments: When checking out, the hotel had issues with their card machine, and after multiple attempts, they eventually sent me a payment link to settle the bill online. It’s best to bring enough cash (in USD) to avoid any issues. Massage: My wife had a full-body massage, which was reasonably priced and very relaxing. Hotel pets: The resort has dogs and cats wandering around, all of which were friendly and tame. However, there was also a monkey on a lead. He seemed eager to explore but was confined, which didn’t feel right.

So I’d finished a 4 week tenting safari ( it did end at the northern beaches) but I decided to stay longer and while I did pay a few extra $$$ it was the perfect end to my holiday. I booked a pool room and was in pool room 2. And it was absolutely perfect. The room had awesome aircon, Netflix and Alexa, robes & slippers, daily water & tea, coffee. There were a few extra things in the room for purchase if wanted. The pool was a winner ( I never used the main pool) The overall grounds had plenty of spots to chill and the whole time I was there which was 3 nights I think I saw a maximum 12 people ( very quiet ) The pontoon was a nice place to also relax and you can have drinks out there while swimming in the pool at the end. It is a distance from anywhere else so expect that unless you pay for transportation you won’t be leaving. I paid for an optional snorkeling tour via the reception ( paid at the end when I left ) it was ok - I got a private tour by myself other than that I just relaxed. There are a few other tours that they offer but I just wanted to stay put really enjoy doing nothing. I did go for a walk along the beach but it was very rocky unlike the northern beaches but the pontoon you could take the stairs down into the water and swim Breakfast included ( pick from the menu and order what you want- it was nice- I ordered eggs, fruit & Nutella pancakes ) - while I didn’t have lunch - as breakfast was sufficient I did pay for dinner which was somewhat normal things available but the pasta dish wasn’t the best but the burger was fine. This hotel was everything that I was expecting. My own pool ( that I used a lot….) just relaxing. I felt safe and yes I was solo in this nice romantic pool room. Not over crowded and a great way to end my holiday. The resort can organise transfers but I had already organised this a couple days earlier with my tour company a private transfer which only cost $40 usd each way on the way back to stone town I got my driver to stop at Jozani Forest to see the red Columbus monkeys. Now to save a couple $$ that might be a good option as the resort does offer a similar tour I just paid my driver $10 extra to make the stop rather than $95 with the resort I would stay again

Thanks to Blue Moon Resort Management and staff for making us enjoy our stay at this resort a beautiful environment of silence, We booked the luxury villa, and they gave us the Pool 2 villa: the room is great and spacious.a large bathroom, beautiful decoration, the pool was cleaned every day, a very safe environment. the staff are good specially DIANA she doing the best, very friendly, always happy and ready to serve you. I recommend to meet DIANA for good service and quality.

This little pearl outside the crowded world is really a paradise to come to rest. The staff is superfriendly, the food is delicious, the interior is really cool and Ibiza-style and the resort is really big but they do not allow many guests so you really have a lot of space at the pool/beachside. They have a petty with which you can walk above the sea and sunbathe in the middle of the sea. Really cool! We really loved the place!

Overall, very satisfied with our stay at the Blue Moon Resort. We stayed for 9 nights in the suite with a private pool on a full board basis. On the first day, we arrived at 8:00 am. It was indeed early, but we had to wait until 3:00 pm to be given our room. We were exhausted from a 20-hour trip, and it was frustrating that we couldn't get a room to rest. A hotel should be able to accommodate guests by noon, which is the norm. The website indicated a check-in time of 2:00 pm, but we had to wait an extra hour. For a supposedly luxurious room, it felt a bit outdated. The wardrobe was very small, with doors that didn't close properly (allowing insects to get inside) and not practical for storing long dresses that get wrinkled. The hotel really needs to implement a ventilation system; sometimes, there's an unpleasant smell in the room and the bathroom. Therefore, showering with salty water is really unpleasant. A full-length mirror and more light in the bedroom would also be nice to have... Besides these issues, the mattress is comfortable despite numerous comments suggesting it was a bit firm. The positives of the hotel: it's family-oriented and extremely peaceful. Ideal for those seeking relaxation and a private beach with fewer people. The restaurant is à la carte. The dishes are delicious, fresh, high-quality, and presented very meticulously, something rarely seen in a full board hotel. Hats off to the chefs! The only downside of the restaurant is the time. On average, it takes 1.5 to 2 hours sometimes to have a meal because of the time taken for ordering and preparing the dishes. It's not a big deal in the evening, but it's inconvenient at noon when one wants to make the most of their time. The music is perfect, classy, and not a discotheque atmosphere! (If that's what you're looking for, you should consider Nungwi's hotels). The hotel's cleanliness is impeccable. The staff is very attentive and truly cares about your comfort. We want to thank the waiters for their kindness and responsiveness, with a special thanks to Swahiba! We will probably come back.
