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

Très bon séjour de 5 nuits dans cet hôtel. Chambre avec vue mer très agréable avec petit balcon. Accueil parfait de l'ensemble du personnel local, très serviable et souriant. Bonne qualité des repas, salle agréable et ventilée. Emplacement très sympathique, belle plage de sable blanc. La ville est calme et reposante mais avec de bons restaurants proposant des plats de crustacés et poissons excellents et peu chers. Alors pourquoi 4 étoiles et pas 5 ? Le seul bémol est que nous ne sommes pas ni finlandais ni suédois et que le gérant (masculin) de l'établissement ne vous adresse alors ni un sourire ni un bonjour et ne vous adresse pas la parole, préférant la réserver à ces (nombreux) clients compatriotes, on a alors la désagréable impression d'être des intrus. C'est particulièrement mal venu et d'après moi une erreur de management que de faire un tel distinguo entre ses clients, d'autant plus que l'autre gérant (feminin) n'a pas du tout cette attitude et fut très accueillante. Je recommande néanmoins.

Amazing stay for a quite and relaxing week. The food is outstanding, they have a daily selection and we found it delicious every day : so fresh and full of taste. The hotel is so quite, different relaxing areas, very well equipated. The view is beautiful and you can enjoy either the pool side or beach side. The staff is incredibly nice, always smiling and full of attention. But just enough to let you relax. We spent a perfect week there enjoying the hotel and all the things you can do around. Special mention for the massages with Elisabeth staff and the excursions with Hadji, Madiba tours.
