Lunch on an island you can walk too? Yeah, sign me up! Took a short walk from the neighboring hotel while the tide was out to try lunch on this little rock and can honestly say, it was good! The grilled octopus calamari was amazing and the bbq chicken was seasoned to perfection. The views were also amazing as well. Dare to race the tides, it’s completely worth it!

What to not say! If you want to have the best experience in your life just book there. Frank, the best receptionist I ever met, will make sure your wishes become true. The room is unbelievable. From another world. All furniture is made from nature. Oh my God! Georgia, Irene, the other guys, all staff. Just go there. You will know what I am talking about. The Island- Pongew Lodge. Worth every penny of your money, worth every minute of your time.

We visited for dinner (we didn’t stay) My partner and I visited The Island Pongwe for dinner last week. We got a small boat from the beach near the island which was a really enjoyable ride across. The meal itself was delicious, we had the urchins to start which were so unique and tasty. I had the tuna steak and my partner had the lobster pasta. Both dishes were delicious and we ate every bite. We also got the sangria, 100% recommend it was so refreshing and has lots of local fruit. The service was fab too with friendly and patient wait staff. After the meal the tide had gone out again so we had to walk back to the beach in the dark, just an fyi in case anyone has issues with that (we didn’t). Thanks so much for having us. :)

Beautiful private island hotel in the Indian Ocean 🌊🌴😍 we did not rent a room here but got shown one and they look amazing. You can eat at the restaurant without being a guest at hotel and enjoy the food and go for a swim in the ocean as they have private access. Frank gave us a warm greeting upon arrival and showed us around very kindly. Food was good. We ate bruschetta florentina which was small but very tasty. The tuna tartare which was fresh and light. The grilled steak which was very tender and cooked to perfection. The only mediocre dish was the avocado egg salad which was nothing special.
