Panga Chumvi Beach Resort, hotel in Matemwe

Located directly on a picturesque beach in Matemwe, Panga Chumvi Beach Resort features an on-site restaurant, swimming pool, massage services, bicycle rentals, and free Wi-Fi access throughout the...

The location is excellent on a quiet clean beach. So if you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to be. It is just as beautiful as Nungwi but without the crowd and bars and noise. Though we did go to Nungwi for a sunset cruise which made us appreciate Matweme beach even more. Resort was easy to locate as it was well marked from the main road. The staff were excellent and welcoming. Very helpful in planning for things to do and booking transport. Rooms are basic but spacious, clean and with AC and fan and hot water. Beds were comfy. A clean small pool that has a baby pool. They have a generator that ran even the A/C so we were not inconvenienced by the frequent blackouts. Breakfast was okay..fruits, eggs, pancakes bread and butter, fresh juice and they made ma adrican tea. So definitely recommend it for families and anyone looking for peace and quiet.

Zanzibar Sunrise at Bandas, hotel in Matemwe

Featuring 2 outdoor swimming pools, Zanzibar Sunrise at Bandas is located in Matemwe, 3.7 mi from Dove Spot. This hotel offers room service, luggage storage space and free WiFi.

The beach was quiet and peaceful, not too crowded and exceptional hands-on service. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. However, Farah and Moosa definitely stood out, they were always there anytime I needed anything, even catered to accommodate me with my phobia (don’t think every resort/hotel would’ve done that), I will forever be grateful for them. Judy is an amazing masseuse! Visiting the spa is a must! The food was very good and you have to try yoga with Farah, very relaxing and she has a very soothing energy.

    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.

    Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

    Crystal clear water - despite there being sea urchins - if you have rock/ aqua shoes - you can still swim and explore the waters and reefs. The beaches are a lot quieter and peaceful than the busier beaches up north. The tides are also fascinating to watch- you can walk out to the reefs and cycle along the beaches when they go out!

    Marafiki gets a 10/10 from us on all fronts - breakfast, lunch, dinner, pool, cleanliness, hospitality, music, sustainability, beach, communication. My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Marafiki after our Safari and had the most fabulous time. The rooms were very clean and quiet, and beautifully set up. The food is exceptional - please try the tuna tartar and all the specials! We had a relaxing time at the spa - you must try the full body scrub and massages. We used the free kayaks during sunset and enjoyed the stunning view from the water. The water is shallow so even if you go far, you can get off the kayak and swim. Since the hotel is east facing - sunrise is exceptionally beautiful. The water is still and shallow, and you can see all the fisherman walk up to the reef to catch the fish. The hotel also arranged a cooking lesson in Matamwe village for us - we learned how to cook ‘muchuzi’ from scratch which was a very meaningful experience. Overall- no negatives. We had the best time and will be back!

    The beach is beautiful, but it's not really a beach you can swim on - there's a big tidal range - when it comes in it's quite choppy with lots of seaweed, and when it's out its corally with lots of urchins. But it's interesting to watch the local people looking for octopus and shellfish every day. It's quite a quiet area - all the bars are part of hotels. A few nice local restaurants around. Quite a lot of beach touts, which we found off putting. Not loads of activities to do in the area - 1/2 day snorkelling/dolphin watching trips at Mnemba Island basically.

    It is the most beautiful and comfortable hotel I've ever seen. it feels very luxurious and you can really relax in the cute rooms and restaurant. The pool area is also amazing and the umbrellas give a welcome relief from the strong sun on the local beach. The staff are the best, so sweet and attentive. It's very very clean, the staff clean rooms every day and spray against mosquitoes. Food is delicious as well, although pricy.

    The hotel is located right on the beach, one of the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. The rooms are bungalow type, very spacious and clean. You can spend your free time reading a book in the hammock, by the pool or on the sunbeds by the hotel’s beach. The traditional seafood dish was a delight. Upon arrival I received a plate of fruit and a wonderful natural juice from the house.

    Excellent view, staff is very friendly, great value for price, beach is wide and as raw as it gets. Food is good although we only had breakfast there (very basic but fresh). Staff is helpful, kind and polite. The hotel is part of a long string of hotels on that same huge coast, which you can visit randomly as they mostly allow that.
