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.

The service, the place, the food and the people are the best if you are looking for a real Zanzibar experience!! Giorgia and Daniele were the most welcome and amazing host you could have met in this wonderful island! We definitely recommend it for couples and friends also for the perfect location, if you like quiet and peace. The beach is literally 5min walking and it's definitely the best side of Zanzibar! We can't wait to come back again! We already miss this amazing place so much!

My family recently stayed at Zanzibar Retreat Hotel, and it was a great experience! The property is clean and well-maintained. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure their stay were comfortable, providing exceptional service that made them feel truly welcome. The hotel’s beautiful location is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Every meal was thoughtfully prepared!

We have been to several hotels in Zanzibar and this was one of the best. Really felt like paradise and has its own private access to the beach and sunbeds by the pool and by the beach. Very close to Mnemba snorkeling, in comparison to if one was at Nugwi, we paid $20 each for a trip to the corals for snorkeling.
