    amazing snorkeling

    Perfect choice for a peaceful getaway

    Had an very nice experience with the snorkeling trips organized right from the hotel! The crew were super helpful, taking us out to beautiful coral reefs where we got to see all sorts of fish, lovely stuff, and the staff were very nice with making sure we were satisfied!

    It was a little pricey, but honestly it was worth it.

    snorkeling trip
    beautiful coral reef

    It was just a smart choice for a short weekend trip in Matemwe with all in all brilliant value for money. The snorkeling trip was organized perfectly, enjoying a beautiful morning exploring the coral reef with a knowledgeable guide. Make sure to negotiate local transport instead of using the hotel’s service for a better deal.

    infinity pool
    gorgeous beach

    What a fantastic stay! The stunning infinity pool overlooking Mnemba Island was a highlight. My room was beautifully spacious with lovely decor. I loved the yummy meals and the option of a half-board plan made it easy to relax. Plus, they offer free rides to a gorgeous nearby beach, which was perfect!
