Monday 19th October : Ras Nungwi – Neptune Pwani

After a successful internet session in the lounge of Ras Nungwi, we moved on to our next stop for the night on the North East coast and were delighted to find newly tarred roads and the occasion sign to help us on our way.

Neptune Pwani was a straight up winner with me, we arrived through large iron gates to bright pink flowers climbing the walls that boarder the resort and an impressive drive way leading to an open reception area with a central fountain and smiling Italian faces!

This was our first taste of the All Inclusive larger hotels on the Island and it was just as promised – beautifully maintained and managed with excellence, nothing was out of place and nothing a problem. All the Villas which contain 4 rooms each have individual solar panels & their two free form pools are the biggest on the Island. I finally got to swim and we had an afternoon to ourselves for reading and sunbathing in the shade. This was the first buffet style self service hotel and the food was 5* with a fresh fish grill, pasta station where dishes were made to order and you created your own sauces ( chilli, cheese & bacon for me and boy oh boy is Zanzibari chilli HOT ) and much much more.

I enjoyed our day at Neptune Pwani and would happily have stayed a few more though it would certainly result in serious weight gain.
