The staff are the people who make this place what it is. Excellent service from the managers at check in, security, cleaners and the restaurant staff. I visited with my wife and child and they made us all feel very welcome and safe. Celina gave my 2 year old a hug every time she saw her and made her day. The boys at the bar Patrick and djuma was excellent. Very highly recommended this place if you’re looking for a chilled out vibe in Zanzibar.

This was the best vacation of our lives. The quality and service provided by the staff were absolutely outstanding—we have never experienced anything so good before. Our special recognition goes to the restaurant staff: Ally, Taty, Shani, Ibrahim, Abdilah and Irine as well as the reception team and the gentlemen and ladies responsible for keeping everything so clean and tidy. The food was excellent, and the chef is truly talented. This is a perfect place for anyone seeking peace and relaxation, far away from crowded streets. We will definitely return here in the future.

FAQs about hotels in Matemwe

What guests said about Matemwe:

Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

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.

one of the nicest places we stayed on Zanzibar — spotlessly clean, rooms done to a very high standard (the newer ones could easily pass for five-star) and a fabulous location right on the beach, with a good sized pool and lovely staff. Rooms are very large and have balconies — incredibly good value. Dinner tip: go onto the beach, turn right and you’ll immediately come upon Pua Mbili — tiny little restaurant with some of the best food you’ll ever eat!

Absolutely stunning! The best all inclusive resort I stayed at. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and very professional. There are plenty of sports facilities available. The food is amazing and with great variety, 4 different restaurants to choose from. The location is perfect, nice lagoon just outside the hotel and beatiful beach. Much recommended.

Such a perfect place for a couple or even with kids ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I would definitely choose sunshine marine lodge again. Best Zanzibar experiences
