Off Mnemba Island Road, Zanzibar, 4749 Matemwe, Tanzania – Great location - show map
amazing facility, cleanliness, menu, hospitality/friendliness/courtesy of all staff. Perfect place for relaxation, delicious food. Professional dive club and close to Mneba Island which is great proximity and convenience for divers...
United Arab EmiratesThis hotel is magical! The staff is always kind and helpful, facilities perfect and the food was of very good compared to what I have experienced in other parts of the country. I stayed there for 4 days, and it was amazing!
FranceIncredible views, unique room decor, pool location, dinner chef menu, staff was very kind, two cute kitty’s to say hello to every morning. A lot of these reviews complain about the road to get here. If you survived safari for a few days- this road is nothing. And how cool to be somewhere so beautiful, in the middle of nowhere.
United States of AmericaStaff are amazing , room was very clean and tidy , thank you for everything 😊
United States of AmericaUpon arrival they gave us a lovely fresh drink, well needed after a long, sweaty car journey. Check in staff were super friendly, especially Mboka, she was great. We had the best room on the property, overlooking the ocean which was amazing. It was so relaxing falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. The pool was fabulous, amazing location for relaxing. It was also a great spot for photos, with a great view of Mnemba island. If you are looking for a really remote hotel, far away from any other restaurants etc, this is the perfect retreat for you. Beach is beautiful, but is about 10 mins by boat or 10 mins by car. It is not on the property. Definitely worth a visit though, but make sure you lather up on the sun cream.
IrelandThe place is amazing, it has such a beautiful landscape. The view on the ocean is just stunning. We had an upper one with view (incredible).the hotel has a diving center in it and it’s a great one wether you want to do snorkelling or diving. All the people there are just always happy to help you and so friendly.
Czech RepublicRoom is fantastic Good menu choice Great staff Views
