I really liked all of the staff members. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. The resort was beautiful, clean, relaxing. I thought all the food we had was great- breakfast, lunch and dinner. I felt all the prices for food reasonable. Seafood was very fresh. I had a massage on site and it was very good and well priced. Setting up excursions was an easy process, I recommend the snorkeling and leaving at 0600 as it’s the best chance to swim with the dolphins as well. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone who comes to Zanzibar looking for a relaxing retreat to stay here!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The location is simply breathtaking, with direct access to a secluded beach that felt like our own private paradise. Tomek and Malgo were the most welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their warm hospitality created a truly unforgettable experience. The staff was exceptional, especially those in the restaurant who served us delicious meals. It was a peaceful vacation and my partner and I could truly relax and recharge. Highly recommend it.

The hotel was beautifully set in a lovely beach garden, in a quiet area and the was very comfortable and clean. Our rooms were large and the food at the restaurant was very tasty, although sometimes portion sizes varied. The staff were very helpful and made our trip even better! Especially Emmanuel who runs reception and does many other things around the hotel and for the guests.

this is a fantastically quiet and hidden place with three cascading pools and a private beach with a view on some picturesque rocks. we had a three years old with us and loved it here. the rooms are cleaned very day, at times even two times, and sprayed with mosquito spray. there is air condition and a system in place against electricity outages. one can walk on the beach by low waters endlessly and, equipped with water shoes, provided by the hotel, do some weave jumping. the restaurant was good, they left no wishes open, and the staff marvellous. we loved all of it so much so that we extended our stay by two more days. thanks sunshine bay. and we look forward to checking out the massages tomorrow!

The way me and my family (my husband and our 2 boys of age 12 and 15) were welcomed and received was exceptionally warm and friendly. The communication with the two owner's , Paco and his lovely wife Maria and his little son Paul was perfect, easy going and heartfelt at the same time. Paco and Maria and all of the stuff members were so welcoming and friendly and you could ask them anything at any given time. We want to thank everybody for their great and personalized service and their excellent food and superbe fresh juices and smoothies ;))) The place is a real pearl if you enjoy a clean and beautiful place and easy going people with no attitud. We clearly more than enjoyed our 10 day stay there. It's beyond beautiful with all the plantation and good vibes. The place is very kids friendly if you should be travelling with children. Paco and Maria offer various activities like swimming with wild Dolphins in the sea (in the early hours though) and other interesting activities depending on what you're looking for. Otherwise doing a Yoga session with Maria or chilling in the bungalow by the pool or restaurant area will just perfectly do too! We highly recommend this place and we will definitely be staying at their place again if we should ever have the opportunity to return again! There's much more to say about our stay but we hope that for now this will help future guest for orientation if they should decide to stay at their place!

One of the best hotels we have stayed at since traveling. If you want to stay at an excellent hotel with good food and an extremely quiet area then this is the hotel you need. The hotel offers a lot of outdoor activities, in the inner courtyard, you can play volleyball, do yoga, enjoy a massage, spa or just enjoy the gorgeous pool. For me, the pool was more than perfect because I am passionate about swimming, and its length is perfect to maintain physical condition when you go on vacation, and the depth is perfect. The food at breakfast, but also at the restaurant in the hotel, is extraordinary. The menu changes daily, so you can't get bored of what you find here, and something I found interesting is the fact that you have the option to prepare something to your taste in case the menu does not correspond to your dietary plan or if you have other preferences. The beach is also gorgeous, with sand so fine you fall in love. The hotel has some beds on the beach, but also by the pool, which are very comfortable. The hotel staff was extremely nice to us and very willing to help us with any problem or question we had. The rooms are also very clean, it is cleaned twice a day, and the bathroom contains more than everything you need for a relaxing vacation where you can forget about everyday worries. The rooms are also equipped with a hair dryer in case you need it. Being on vacation for my birthday here at the hotel, I was extremely surprised to receive a cake from the hotel staff and to sing happy birthday to me. An extraordinary first contact with Zanzibar, we definitely want to come back because it is worth all the money.

    Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

    The snorkeling was a true adventure, with well-protected marine life and crystal-clear water. Spotting the dolphins was an unexpected bonus! Visiting the sea turtle rehabilitation center and feeding them was a special experience.

    Matemwe beach was huge and totally uncrowded - some days we were lucky to see 10 - 20 people pass by! Loved the Massai beach hawkers - friendly and laid back happy to have their pictures taken - no hassle or relentless chasing - once told 'no' they respected our space. Recommend a day trip to Nungwi for a completely different vibe and fantastic sunset. Matemwe is somewhat isolated and if you want to get around you need to secure the number of a local taxi driver - always bargain hard beforehand. Most hotels organise trips/tours but at a premium.

    It was a quieter beach which was nice which also meant not too many people hassling you to buy things. Those that did were respectful. Beach is nice but the sea depth is very shallow most of the day so swimming wasn't the easiest and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there.

    It’s very quiet, very few non hotel restaurants, overpriced food everywhere, can’t swim in the sea unless you don’t mind knee deep water. There’s no town, or town centre outside the beach hotels, so a long stay would be challenging if you want more than just lounging by the hotel pool.

    Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

    1000/10. This is incredible place. You will not regret it. Calm place, beautiful interior design, warm and kind hotel staff, really helpful manager, the best beach - wide and clean, two swimming pools, yummy food, comfy beds, yoga classes! I was in many hotel around the world and I am rather picky but this place should have the rate closer to 10 for sure! I liked it so much that I decided to come back here for a second stay. In Matemwe - the best place to stay for a couple of nights!

    Wonderfully located directly at Matemwe Beach, the hotel offered spacious and clean rooms with very comfortable beds. Also, the two pools were enjoyable and surrounded by comfy spots to relax. Both breakfast and dinner was delicious and we liked having having a tasty cocktail at the beach bar. The entire team was very friendly and attentive and every wish was taken care of. A place like paradise :) We were more than happy to stay here and would definitely recommend it!
