    Superb
    A stunning place to stay - try to go when the weather is cooler.
    The food was exceptional. The coral reef and sea life were superb (and I have been to many in my life)!
    It was VERY hot at night. We visited at a hot time of year, so I understand this, but we did not sleep well (and one fan did not work).

    Unique place.
    Chumbe Island is unique, a marine protected area which came about from once being a military site. Local fishers stayed well away (imagine), and the military did little to disrupt it, hence the best reefs we encountered anywhere near Zanzibar. Most people come here for the day trip, consisting of a snorkeling dive, lunch, and a forest walk. All great! And it is an active environmental education and advocacy organization. (You can see a class underway in one of the enclosed photos.) We were very glad to have stayed for several nights, just to take it in better and to get to know the staff, who are beyond excellent. Food, especially lunches, was superb. The forest walk after dark, to see the nearly one-meter across coconut crabs, was amazing. (They are very rare where they are not protected, as here.) We were very sad to say goodbye to these great people, as you might notice in one of the photos.

    The overnight charge ain't cheap. We wonder if they might fill more bungalows (of which there are seven; typically three or four were occupied during our time there) if they dropped the price a bit, but not for me to say.

    Very good
    In close contact with nature
    Very authentic accommodation in the middle of the forest. The island is beautiful and you will be in close contact with nature! Staff is friendly and the food very tasty.
    Make sure you are fine to be sleeping in an eco-resort. For example, there is no water flushing in the toilet (the only way to clean it is with natural soil) thus the smell could be bad at times. Overall the place is too pricey for what it offers.

    A trip to remember! Incredible!
    Fantastic! Above all expectations! What a place! Snorkeling the reef is just incredible, the food was plentiful and super good. The staff was very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. The Coconut crabs were everywhere and the beach was quiet and beautiful. The little huts were very neat. What an experience!! I highly recommend a few days at Chumbe Island! A visit I will remember always.
    I would have liked better quality sheets and as Im a light sleeper, I shouldve used ear plugs. The waves crashing in at night kept me up a bit. But this did my no means diminish my great experience at Chumbe

    An amazing experience- just wish I could have stayed longer
    An amazing experience-I felt privileged to participate in this extremely important research and education project. They do excellent work. The coral and general reef condition is the best Ive seen in the Indian Ocean - thanks to the work of the staff. Also the coconut crabs are a must see.

    It's beautiful for day tours
    I loved how they preserve nature
    I didn't like the fact that the cottages had no door and I hardly slept at night
