We liked the cleanliness and layout of this large and well appointed villa. It was comfortable for two couples. There is plenty of room both inside and outside to relax and spread out. The host Rodrigo was responsive and friendly and willing to accommodate our late checkout request. The pool was refreshing and the breakfasts were excellent. You can walk the beach for miles. The villa was private and easy walking distance to restaurants. Good references for taxis and tours. There is a nearby small store to change money.

Guests at the villa can enjoy a continental breakfast, and breakfast in the room is also available. You can make your own food in the kitchen before eating on the private balcony, and Chunga Changa also offers a coffee shop. We had an incredible stay at Chunga Changa!

Every dish we tried was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of unique flavors. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, Mr Kitipu the manager is a gem making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The ambiance of the place was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Zanzibar!
