Great location mid way down the beach, felt secluded in an amazing tropical garden on the beach with incredible sunrise beach view. Their team was amazing from the beach security guard to the butler. Everyone was always helpful and eager to get whatever we needed. The mobile phone they gave us was great to call the butler to order meals or drinks even when away from the resort. Great small boutique style resort with impeccable service perfect for romantic couple or group. Highly recommend
CanadaAbsolutely Amazing, Perfect for Honeymoon / Romantic Getaway. Very Friendly and accommodating staff. Beautiful and quiet Location.
United Arab EmiratesStaff were amazing Facilities immaculate and lavish Pool and seawater were delightful
AustraliaHotel Matlai is pure paradise!! From the reviews we read before our stay we knew it would be great but it actually exceeded what we were expecting!! The rooms are huge, you get your own personal butler, the facilities are great (they even have an outdoor cinema), and the location is just pure heaven!! If you are looking for somewhere to relax in pure luxury style then this place is for you!! Thanks so much to Inge, Tim and the incredible staff at Hotel Matlai!! We can’t wait to come back again one day :)
United KingdomPerfect location for an escape! I spent 3 days here with my mum and really wish we had stayed longer. Our villa was very well maintained and super clean! The staff were super helpful. The owner and her son were very lovely and warm. The extra little details made us feel absolutely at home.
United Arab EmiratesWe absolutely loved this hotel, just perfect. Dinners out in the garden felt so special, the food was so delicious and the butlers were beyond helpful. The room is large and with all the things that you need, including a private terrace and an amazing bathroom. Lovely small touches like bath salts, bedtime stories and flowers everywhere. Prices at the bar were reasonable and the massage was really nice. Just perfect.
United KingdomJustus, Regina, Mohammed, Sabra and Tim were taking care of everything, making ourselves comfortable and feeling like the property was ours. We should be coming again in 2 years, please wait for us there, there will be 3 of us at that time.
BrazilTim and all the staff was very atencious all the time!! Everything was perfect! We just love it!!!
BrazilIt is a fantastic hotel- one of the most beautiful hotels in the world where I have ever stayed. The location is amazing, the rooms are awesome with a breathtaking view, the perfect service, all staff is very friendly and helpful, the impeccable cleanliness, and very good food. The possibility to have breakfast and to have dinner on our terrace made our stay very special. It is a niche hotel of the highest level. After the Boutique Matlai Boutique it will be difficult to find better.
ItalyExcellent staff and amazing setting. It’s a little slice of secluded paradise. The food is excellent. The coconut and crab soup and the grilled lobster were the best. Very good breakfast.
