About
On Zanzibar, Smiles Hotel is a hotel. Nungwi, North Coast of Zanzibar Nungwi, 4222, Tanzania places it in Nungwi, a village at the island's northern tip.
Nungwi sits on the north coast, where the beach and the village's boat-building activity are the main draws.

The hotel's website at http://www.smilesbeachhotel.com/ provides further details.
Zanzibar's long rains, masika, run from March to May, and the short rains, vuli, arrive in November and December, so planning around those months matters for beach time. Kiswahili is the everyday language, English is widely used in tourism, and Arabic loanwords appear in daily speech. Taarab music, with its orchestras and sung poetry, remains popular on the island.
For a visitor, Smiles Hotel puts the northern beaches within easy reach, with Paje, Jambiani and Bwejuu further down the east coast. The 508 reviews suggest a well-established address in Nungwi. Choosing it means waking up near the island's northern shore rather than in Stone Town.
