Assorted wines and drinks for your refreshment, excellent customer service Neema went over and beyoud to show us around the hotel.

Gemütliches kleines familiär geführtes Hotel direkt am wunderschönen Strand. Alles sehr sauber und der Strand wird jeden Morgen gereingt. Die Küche ist ausgezeichnet auch für Veggies , auf Wunsch hat man mir auch nen Lobster zubereitet ,sehr gut, zu einem angemessenen Preis. Es gibt von Einheimisch über Pasta bis Hamburger mit Pommes nahezu alles ,auch an der schönen kleinen Bar an der man den Hotelinhaber fast jeden Abend trifft und ansprechen kann. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert Die Zimmer sind klimatisiert,zusätzlich ein Deckenventilator und man schläft sehr gut . Das gesamte Personal ist freundlich und zuvorkommend.

What a delightful stay we had at the Zanzibar Retreat Hotel . It was above and beyond our expectations! Newton greeted us and showed us around. We were delighted to see not only the pool and outdoor restaurant, but the proximity to the white sand beach! Then when we opened the door to our second floor room with a balcony, we were thrilled to see how spacious and beautifully decorated it was. The food was 5-star as well. We had a free full breakfast, and ate lunch and dinner there as well. The menu choices were varied, and everything was fresh and well seasoned. We even had massages and facials at the hotel with Elizabeth and Esther. I highly recommend The Zanzibar Retreat Hitel!

Mysigt litet hotell direkt på stranden
Fantastiskt mysigt litet hotell mitt på den vackra långa vita stranden i Matemwe. Smakfullt inredda rum, mysigt i restaurang och lounge, lugn och skön miljö. Jättetrevlig personal och ägare gör stämningen inbjudande och familjär. Supergod mat och frukost. God fika Kl 16 varje dag är en så trevlig sak som gästerna bjuds på varje dag. På rummen finns även en fin sarong, strandhandduk, solhatt och strandväska att låna medan man är där. En riktig oas att längta tillbaka till!

A fantastic little gem!
We had booked this little hotel for six nights, but as soon as we stepped into the veranda/bar/restaurant we felt that we could stay forever...so booked another six nights directly, without even seeing our room. But we did not regret it!. This is a a hotel with all small details that makes you feel at home; for example a beach basket with towels and sun hats in every room. And as a Swedish person I loved the 'fika' every afternoon at 4 o'clock :-)
Finally - the food...was delicious! I don't remember how many times I had the mango/avocado/shrimp salad or the tuna steak.
If you are out for a cosy small hotel (only 14 rooms I think), on a fantastic beach, just book!

The Zanzibar Retreat is a lovely beach front oasis, with beautiful gardens, swimming pool, and miles of gorgeous white sand beach to walk. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and quiet. There are plenty of chairs, either on the beach or by the pool, and little nooks to sit with a drink or read a book. It was the perfect place to relax after 14 days on safari. The owners are always on site interacting with guests and the food was delicious. The shrimp mango salad was a favourite.

Magnifique petit resort sur la belle et longue plage de Matemwe. Propriété de 2 couples scandinaves, c'est beau, c'est calme, c'est propre et la cuisine est succulente. Belle piscine et chambres très confortables décorées d'objets artisanaux. Je recommande chaleureusement
