"Gourmet stay in Matemwe"
If you are looking for a place to lay in the sun for a few days and worry about nothing, this is a great place to do it. The bungalows are lovely, although I did have a cat that appeared in mine one night, so not entirely sure how secure they are.
The real highlight here is the food. The menus are varied every night, the seafood is impeccable and every meal is memorable, The restaurant staff are lovely and do their best to make you feel welcome.
I also enjoyed the spa and indulged in a body massage, a cinnamon-clove body scrub and a papaya- honey facial. All expertly performed and well worth the extra expense." See all these reviews: 6n in Zanzibar; 4n in Tanzania
"Green and Blue review"
There was no hot water on arrival and we had to go and use the showers in one of the vacant rooms.
That said, it is a beautiful place and the food was the best we had in Africa." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 7n in Zanzibar
