It is commendable how just within about a month of operations the resort has achieved so much! We were there for about 8 nights. And it was amazingly peaceful. From a lovely beach view, access to the ocean at all hours, friendly staff to the care and attention we got, the stay and our experience was superlative. A special mention to the Chef and his kitchen staff who make 5-star rated food available to every guest for all meals. The presentation to the taste, we used to keep waiting for the day's special everyday. One of the most memorable holidays we have had and definitely going back soon to experience this rendezvous with nature in the best possible setting. Went as strangers, came back missing friends at Zanzibar.

We stayed at Alladin Hotel for 7 days and had most amazing time, we booked king size room with ocean view which was stunning way to wake up every morning. We loved everything about this place but first of all people, they were all so welcoming, nice and friendly that you really feel like you are a member of their family, the way they take care of things starting from the smallest inconvinent ones to help you organiza a whole 7 day activity trip. Everyone is so friendly, warm and truly makes you feel like you are valuable. Biggest thanks to Mr.Khamis who was there with a smile every day and making sure we have everything, not only just towards us but towards other guest, the way he creates bond and really participates in your wishes is truly a remark of a person who loves his job and is doing it spotlessly. It's very easy to organize trips and activities around Zanzibar and probably the fastest and easiest way is to do it over the hotel. The price was decent and worth everything we saw and experienced, some activities we even decided to repeat. Food in Alladin is amazing, we mostly ate seafood and fruits and everything was so fresh and delicious, breakfast has great options and for lunch or dinner you can have a great meal, coctkails were amazing too, they don't spare on details! The only bad thing was that we had to leave this paradise and go back to reality, other than that if you wish to escape into a secret paradise eden then this is the best choice, we will for sure come back again!

Zanzibar Queen Hotel

Hotel in Matemwe

Offering a year-round outdoor pool ,a spa centre and a diving centre in the neighbouring hotel, Zanzibar Queen Hotel is set in Matemwe in the Zanzibar Region.

A
Ala&Suavek
From
Netherlands
After a week long safari on the mainland, we relaxed and rested for a few days in the Zanzibar Queen Hotel and it was a perfect decision. The managing staff (Regina, Darek) were exceptionally welcoming and dedicated a lot of their time to make us feel at home, sharing some interesting info about the island. The reception/restaurant/cleaning staff were great too. The hotel has a big and deep pool surrounded by a beautiful garden with plenty of places to rest on sunbeds and comfy armchairs. There is a row of sunbeds at the beach and, while we have not used them, it seemed that the locals are asked not to bother people using the hotel sunbeds. And the beach... super wide (at low tide) with totally white sand, absolutely gorgeous. Sea urchins make it a bit difficult to enjoy the water but the hotel provides rubber shoes for the guests so at high tide it's just fine to swim near the shore. Breakfast is a buffet with tonnes of options including great coffee. Lunch can be ordered a la carte but there is also a daily special menu for those who want something extra. Dinner menu changes daily as well but there is the possibility to order something else from the regular menu. All food we tried was very very good! The hotel organises some free activities for the guests every day. Yoga in the mornings, reef walks at low tide, some singing and dancing performances in the evenings. You can also get bikes with relatively wide tyres which are great for biking down the beach. Overall, we had excellent vacation and can strongly recommend the hotel!

FAQs about hotels in Matemwe

What guests said about Matemwe:

10

Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

Matemwe beach was huge and totally uncrowded - some days we were lucky to see 10 - 20 people pass by! Loved the Massai beach hawkers - friendly and laid back happy to have their pictures taken - no hassle or relentless chasing - once told 'no' they respected our space. Recommend a day trip to Nungwi for a completely different vibe and fantastic sunset. Matemwe is somewhat isolated and if you want to get around you need to secure the number of a local taxi driver - always bargain hard beforehand. Most hotels organise trips/tours but at a premium.

It was a quieter beach which was nice which also meant not too many people hassling you to buy things. Those that did were respectful. Beach is nice but the sea depth is very shallow most of the day so swimming wasn't the easiest and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there.

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.

This is a beautiful boutique style hotel. The staff is very friendly. The beach setting and the rooms are beautiful but the best is the food. We had half board and there were always delicious choices on the menu board. It's not the cheapest place but the food is fresh, nicely spiced, altogether the best food we have had during our stay in Tanzania. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Its also a good choice if want to be close to the dive schools. They provide free pick up from the hotel.

Beautiful location, great food, lovely staff. Overall everything was to a very high standard. The villa was amazing to stay in and the cold plunge pool was such a nice bonus to have to cool down in the very hot and humid weather. AC and fan in the bedroom made it very comfortable to sleep at night. The pool overlooking the beach was perfect to enjoy some relaxation time while staying cool under the shade. I will be staying here again when I return to Zanzibar.

The lodge has an amazing view, nice swimming pool, friendly staff and managers, a joint diving center and yoga opportunities every weekdays. The food was also beyond our expectations. We have taken the honeymoon offer and it was well worth it: snorkeling, 3 course dinners, couple massage, airport transfer, also we booked the oceanview suite and the it’s stunning. They also have free shuttle bus to the sister-hotel’s private beach.
