    would be happy to recommend for a brief pit stop

    Friendly staff, excellent amenities, the girls at reception made us feel so welcomed with their impeccable service and a surprise room upgrade that included a delightful champagne.

    cozy suite
    private beach access
    friendly staff
    overpriced food
    limited food options

    The suite with garden view was cozy, featuring a comfortable seating area and a lovely balcony to relax on. The beach access was incredible, giving us that private feel, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    The food could be better, some dishes felt overpriced.

    cozy ambience
    kind staff
    lack of air conditioning
    expensive dining

    Is it hype or the real deal?

    This place is a hidden gem! ! Clean and cozy with an amazing pool area. The beach is pristine, and staff is genuinely kind, ready to help with everything.

    The lack of air conditioning made nights nearly unbearable, with sweltering heat. The food prices seemed excessive, which could deter some from enjoying meals on-site.

    The beach access was perfect for family fun.

    The food was overpriced in the restaurant, which made us dine out often.

    pool area
    spacious suite
    swimming limits

    The pool area with three beautiful pools was a delight! They serve tasty meals, and the spacious suite had a lovely garden view that made me feel quite posh.

    The beach was lovely, but swimming? Well, let’s just say you might need a paddle to play in the tide! Also, the evening scene felt a bit like a ghost town.

    cascading pools
    private beach
    delicious meals
    expensive dinner
    limited local options

    The peacefulness of this hidden gem made for a truly relaxing getaway. I particularly loved the three cascading pools and the private beach that offered stunning views. Every day, my room was impeccably cleaned, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The restaurant provided delicious meals and met all our expectations. Overall, it was a delightful stay that exceeded my family's needs.

    partial ocean view
    private beach access
    snorkeling activities

    The suite with partial ocean view was stunning, and the beach access was perfect for snorkeling. We had a fantastic time swimming with dolphins, organized by the hotel. The private beach felt like our own slice of paradise, and we loved the cozy vibe around the pools.

    letdown

    The impeccable service left us in awe! From the warm welcome to the surprise room upgrade for our honeymoon, every moment felt special. The only letdown? The poached eggs were hard-boiled. 🍳

    Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience

    We had an amazing one-night stay for our honeymoon. The staff surprised us with a room upgrade and champagne, making us feel extra special. The hotel had a beautiful garden and a picture-perfect setting, and we can’t wait to return for a longer visit!

    refreshing pool

    It was just an excellent fit for a weekend trip in Matemwe with good value. The swimming pool was refreshing and a nice place to unwind. Make sure to explore local dining options outside of the hotel.

    garden view
    private beach

    would return anytime

    The suite with garden view was fantastic. It had air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a terrace with outdoor furniture. The food was tasty, and the staff was super helpful. The pool area was relaxing with sun loungers. The beach felt private, with no debris at all. The massage at the spa was a real treat!
