    Location was great and the room was nice inside, great bathroom, nice outdoor seating area and the pool was also nice. The pool gets zero sun all day
    The food wasnt great, restaurant staff were friendly but reception staff were useless and couldnt resolve any issues quickly.

    The environment was amazing. The room was clean and big. The staff was extra kind. Just a few steps and you are on the beach.
    When I tried to relax on the beach and enjoy the vacation lots of local vendors ruined and tried to sell their staff.

    Everything: They allowed us to check-in early (about 4 hours early) and check-out late for no extra charge, very accommodating. Staff were great, friendly with excellent service. Food was really good, different options every day and we were never disappointed. Great location, nice quiet beach, plenty of sun and shade spots. Would definitely recommend!!!!

    Amazing
    The welcome from Sarah and the front desk guys, pictures don't do justice to this place. Our Driver soluman fetched bus from the airport with cool cloths and cold water after a long flight and hot day. The staff at the restaurant prepared a huge snack for us as we missed lunch, but they organised something they called small but was huge. Mr Brian was there for all our activities and even became my p photographer after my husband got tired, lol.beds comfortable and the room was huge and the gardens are well taken care off and we did the low tide reef walk, our guide was amazing and spotted so many beautiful star fish.

    Worm and welcoming, feels like home!
    All over the food was delicious. For lunch and supper there were a number of starters, main and desserts to choose from. The variety was good and each dish was fantastic. Complements to the chef. Breakfast was buffet style and more than adequate.
    being picky, the number of cocktail drinks on the all inclusive menu could be better.

    Wonderful place for a honeymoon
    Beautiful beach, delicious drinks - Kena special was a particularly good! Bush babies climbing in the rafters at dinner and weaver birds living in the beautiful garden. Very friendly, polite and helpful staff. Elizabeth and Grace were particularly great waitresses. The beach was beautiful with warm water. The reef was amazing and we saw star fish, a nudibranch and lots of things on our reef walk with the pool boy Khafan - who was also extremely helpful during our the rest of our stay.
    Absolutely perfect stay.

    The perfect stay on the paradise beach
    The staff was extremely friendly and caring. Nothing is lacking during the entire stay. The beach at Matemwe is beautiful and the dive school Scubafish, located at the hotel, is a professional crew that offers the perfect tour to Mnemba Island reef.
    You have to be aware that in Matemwe you are a bit off the beaten track. But this is by no means negative.
