Zanziblue, hotel in Matemwe

Boasting a private beach area and sea views, Zanziblue in Matemwe provides accommodation, water sports facilities, an outdoor swimming pool, barbecue facilities and a garden. Free WiFi is provided.

What a fantastic place! Zanziblue was the most underrated spot we visited in Zanzibar. We stayed at four different hotels in the same or higher price range, one of which was about twice the cost and less than 10 minutes away by car. Still, Zanziblue was definitely the perfect choice for us, especially when it came to high-quality food. As a VEGAN, I was impressed that the kitchen could create vegan options comparable to those in high-quality Western restaurants. This is significant, considering the challenges and limitations on the island. Big kudos to the Swedish chef and co-owner, who truly succeeded in crafting this experience. The highlight was definitely the vegan cheese made from cashew nuts. The menu is primarily non-vegan, I'm confident that non-vegan guests would also be impressed. It was the small details that made us feel so welcomed. The staff respected us, and the hotel management clearly understands how to run a place like this by leading their local team by example. The service was exceptional. They not only listened to their guests but went above and beyond. For instance, they surprised us with a celebration for an unannounced birthday. Another highlight was the beach tour offered with local guides from the village. We were finally able to connect with locals on a personal level, without feeling pressured to buy anything, allowing us to explore the region sustainably and learn about local life. All in all, I wish we had discovered this place earlier so we could have stayed a longer period of time.

Situated on the Matemwe beach in the Matemwe village on the East Coast of Zanzibar, Kena Beach Hotel lies along the east coast of Zanzibar.

The property is a small and cozy hotel right on the beach with a lot of plants and flowers in the garden. The room was very big and clean. The food, either buffet or a la carte was very tasty. All the staff was very nice and willing to help. Thank you girls and boys from the restaurant and bar, Hishma and all the staff who helped me plotting the surprise 😉. And ofcourse I cannot forget the welcoming meouwings of Tana and the fluffy Tutu.

    The hotel is located on a beach directly next to a small fishing village with around 100 fishing boats going out each morning and returning each afternoon to auction their catch on the beach. The beach in the north of the island is where thousands of tourists enjoy the luxury resorts. Mambo Paradise is a 7 room hotel to slow down the pace of life.

    The staff were very helpful and super friendly. The resort had many facilities and activities that were all easily accessible. The all inclusive package really included everything one could imagine. There was a wide selection of food, great cocktails, and a great vibe overall. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend staying at Emerald.

    I enjoyed everything. Staff were always smiling and making you feel welcome. Resort seems to have catered for all nitty gritty so im sure if you forget something they will have you covered. No signing for anything with the all inclusive just enjoy as you go along. Some stages I could not get a booking for certain restaurants but management made it possible to get the experience before I left. They always check up on you and assist wherever they can. Left me with a very pleasant stay and mind to wanna come back soon.

    Very luxurious. Not like typical all inclusive I have stayed before. Breakfasts included variety like eggs Benedict’s, Indian luxury breakfasts parathas and puris etc. very polite staff. They also make special dishes for you. Outside of the menu. That was exotic for us.
