Hôtels à Michamvi

Points positifs: The Property, the staff and the food were all excellent...

Points négatifs: Nothing really

Points positifs: We absolutely loved this hotel, just perfect. Dinners out in the garden felt so special, the food was so delicious and the butlers were beyond helpful. The room is large and with all the things that you need, including a private terrace and an amazing bathroom. Lovely small touches like bath salts, bedtime stories and flowers everywhere. Prices at the bar were reasonable and the massage was really nice. Just perfect.

Points négatifs: On the last day we agreed a checkout time with the head butler but on the day we were literally kicked out of the room 20mins earlier... a bit disappointing.

Points positifs: Room: Our room was HUGE! Also very stylish and equipped - bathtub, tea set, makeup area, etc. The pictures really don't do justice to the size of the room. We also had a beautiful balcony + lawn with ocean view. Service: This is the true heart of where Matlai excels- EVERYTHING is built around providing excellent service and giving you the choice of what to do and when. When you arrive you're given a phone preloaded with the manager and Butler's numbers- and can call the Head Butler whenever you need. You can have your meals where you want, when you want, choose from the menu, even order things off the menu or ask for changes. We were sick for some of our stay and Salim checked in on us constantly and offered advice on herbal remedies Food: Zanzibar isnt exactly known for its cusine. But Matlai was no doubt the best weve eaten on the island. There's a wide range of different foods, for both breakfast and dinner (definitely take full board) and the food was delicious. One caveat is that some dishes had spices we didnt like, and the menu doesnt go into much detail about the dishes. Cleanliness: Everything is in tip top shape, as youd expect from a hotel this caliber. Charity: They donate to the local village - helping with trash removal, medical supplies, school supplies and more. Misc: Open air cinema! You can reserve a private screening for two picked from a list of films! (no extra charge). Staff: Everyone was super professional, friendly and helpful. Anything you'll ask is met with an almost fierce "no problem!". They will also gladly share information about Zanzibar, places around the island, or just chat for a bit. Turtles: They have a turtle garden. With turtles. Can confirm turtles are cute.

Points négatifs: - Hot water ran out a couple times - Menu lacks specificity on ingredients/spices for some dishes

Points positifs: Everything

Points positifs: Tim and all the staff was very atencious all the time!! Everything was perfect! We just love it!!!

Points négatifs: Nothing, everything perfect!

Points positifs: Le cadre est idyllique et le personnel est aux petits soins. Le petit déjeuner est bon et servi, selon la demande, dans le jardin ce qui est extrêmement agréable. Les plages sont magnifiques et sa proximité avec le restaurant "The Rock" un must de Pingwe, est un avantage

Points négatifs: -

Points positifs: d'ou commencer... c'était un séjour juste inoubliable, je n'aurais pas assez d'espace pour commenter tout ce qu'on a aimé, tout était parfait. on s'est occupé de nous comme nul part ailleurs. personnel au petit soin

Points positifs: Honnêtement, je ne pensais pas dire cela un jour d’un établissement mais l’hôtel était plus que parfait. Au delà même de mes plus secrètes espérances. Tout est si parfait qu’on se sent comme à la maison, en famille. Tout va nous manquer ! (Le personnel, le lieu, la nourriture, les activités et même le patron). Merci encore à Tim et son équipe. On ne vous oubliera jamais. Ps : hôtel paisible et calme pour couple

Points négatifs: /

Points positifs: Justus, Regina, Mohammed, Sabra and Tim were taking care of everything, making ourselves comfortable and feeling like the property was ours. We should be coming again in 2 years, please wait for us there, there will be 3 of us at that time.

Points négatifs: Spicy foods... sometimes the arabic flavor was everywhere, after 3 days it was enough.

Points positifs: It is a fantastic hotel- one of the most beautiful hotels in the world where I have ever stayed. The location is amazing, the rooms are awesome with a breathtaking view, the perfect service, all staff is very friendly and helpful, the impeccable cleanliness, and very good food. The possibility to have breakfast and to have dinner on our terrace made our stay very special. It is a niche hotel of the highest level. After the Boutique Matlai Boutique it will be difficult to find better.

Points positifs: Excellent staff and amazing setting. It’s a little slice of secluded paradise. The food is excellent. The coconut and crab soup and the grilled lobster were the best. Very good breakfast.

Points négatifs: Nothing it’s perfect.

Points positifs: Great location mid way down the beach, felt secluded in an amazing tropical garden on the beach with incredible sunrise beach view. Their team was amazing from the beach security guard to the butler. Everyone was always helpful and eager to get whatever we needed. The mobile phone they gave us was great to call the butler to order meals or drinks even when away from the resort. Great small boutique style resort with impeccable service perfect for romantic couple or group. Highly recommend

Points positifs: The gardens were well designed and looked after: every member of staff was welcoming and helpful A perfect five day break in a lovely hotel - I would not have changed a thing! Restaurant service was excellent- good menu and contemporary A big thank you to the Sunset Bay Team

Points négatifs: I liked everything

Points positifs: Remote location on a fabulous stretch of coastline. Gorgeous, warm sea. Excellent food, very helpful personnel. They'll organize anything for you.

Points négatifs: I never thought I'd want this, but if there were a way to un-heat the swimming pool, that would be great. On a bright, sunny day the water heats up to what feels like 95F/35C. Not the hotel's fault -- this affects much of Zanzibar -- but worth factoring in: for about 7 hours out of 12 (the 3 1/2 hours either side of low tide), the tide goes far out to sea, leaving behind a tidal marsh of seaweed and shells. Swimming in the sea isn't really an option at this time, although exploring on foot is.

Points positifs: Beautiful sea & sunset

Points négatifs: Among the hotels that line the beach, 2 seem to have either gone out of business or no guests staying, another project seemed to have been abandoned halfway- puts you off a bit, sorry to say, although that in itself is not their fault. Also, the last few kilometers of the road leading to the hotel is complete dark, so better get there before dark!

Points positifs: This is not just an hotel and for who can understands what's really behind it, it's pure PARADISE on earth ... The resort is first at human size, it's a boutique hotel with a few rooms and as much staff members as Guests... offering then an outstanding and clean service. The personnel is very friendly, people smille all the time ... most of the waiters work here for long some 6- 8 or even 10 years long .. The hotel is a kind of social project, each staff member counts, is important, and the direction carres about helping employees to catch up higher standards (trainees, english courses etc .. ). It also sustains the village´s local life by employing staff as much as they can (3 of 10) and giving them enough off days . It creates a network of villagers that build up their own business to supply foods and goods to the kitchen, and finally it supports local artists painters and village school. The direction and management have a vision of what they want to do in Zanzibar it is not disconnected from Africa and everything makes sense. It's a family hotel with human size where you feel at home, so not poshy and bling bling so people missing tv and minibar in the bedromm better book somewhere else... Finally, the location is just amazing it's the most beautifull beach that you can imagine .. white sand coconut, palmtrees .. it is a private beach where you will feel alone, protected from wind (that we have experienced in other beaches) and where local people come at sunset for football and relaxing. No one comes to try to sell you something and to harass you .. this because the hotel entertain an excellent relation with the village just behind... Every night the staff make huge efforts to install the dining place on a different location, (garden, pool with live quite music, or on the beach with fires and a great Swahili buffet. The bar is located at the beach and you can enjoy there the most amazing sunsets ever ...

Points négatifs: Rien

Points positifs: Excellent location for those who appreciate white sand, beautiful beach, awasome sunsets... it is a magical location. We stayed for 4 wonderful nights, each night different dinner theme... breakfast literally on the beach, ... the bar is wonderfuly setup to enjoy the Ocean's breeze and to contemplate the mesmirizing sunset while sipping on a magical cocktail or mocktail... Our room was sea facing and it was just great waking up to the amazing view of green ocean quiet wavelets... Very friendly management and staff.. In a nutshell, Michamvi Sunset Bay was an amazing experience!

Points négatifs: Being a late riser I would have loved breakfast to be extended till 11:30 AM, but I understand the staff need to prepare the lunch menus etc.

Points positifs: Les proprios super souriantes et accueillantes La qualité des repas haut de gamme et déliciieux La proximité et l accessibilité à la plage où il n y avait pas grand monde

Points négatifs: Le fait de devoir tirer les rideaux pour avoir un peu d intimité car les portes fenêtres des chambres donnent sur l espace piscine/bar. La taxe de 5 pct supplémentaire en cas de paiement par carte

Points positifs: Petit hôtel chaleureux, confortable et au bord d'une plage splendide. Propreté et service impeccable. Très bonne restauration. Plein de petites intentions qui font la différence avec les autres établissements (adaptateur en chambre, panier pour la plage, menu en chambre, prêt de sandales à la piscine, tea time offert, etc..) Merci à Simone et à toute son équipe pour leur excellent service.

Points positifs: Great hotel, went for our honeymoon and loved it! Great service from all staff, perfect location, amazing food (went half board). Would recommend

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points positifs: Elegant, understated

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points positifs: In general, very hospitable and relaxing stay! 1. Beach is fantastic 2. Staff is really welcoming 3. Relaxing vibe and pleasant guests :) 4. Nice beach bar and area around the beach/pool, with complementary tea/coffee/cookies in the afternoon 5. Dinner on the beach with bonfire looked amazing!!! 6. Free rentals of paddle boards etc., wide offerings on tours

Points négatifs: Rooms are outdated and are far below expectation for such price, especially bathroom. Despite it, I really enjoyed walking out of the room from the glass door into the garden and beach area! Few other items to note which are neither advantages nor disadvantages: * Location is good by itself, but 1.5h drive from airport and almost nothing around * Not a big resort, therefore, not a big area in general (inclusive pool, if somebody is interested) * Tides happen here! In mid-October good timing for swimming was till noon and from 3-4 pm.

Points positifs: Good location with nice beach & swimming pool Friendly personal with good cocktails 2 out of our 4 diners where good lunch was good good place to relax and do nothing friendly reception/welcoming/saying goodbye

Points négatifs: breakfast should have been better 2 out of 4 diners were just bad everything looks a bit outdated humidity smell in the room; when we told to the management they answered 'it's because we are near the sea' so we had to leave our windows all the time open... We came from another accommodation near the sea and there it didn't smell humid. In my humble opinion the smell came from some leakage somewhere in the bathroom. extreme expensive snorkeling tour $50/pp is just unacceptable anywhere in the world

Points positifs: La plage avec son translucide. La location de matériel offerte, vous pouvez prendre les kayaks transparent ou les paddles mis à votre disposition et profitez du rivage. L'ambiance reposante de l'hôtel est un grand plus. Belle effort de la part de l'hôtel pour notre nuit de noce.

Points négatifs: Le prix des excursions proposé est beaucoup trop élevé par rapport à la réalité.

Points positifs: Absolument tout !

Points négatifs: Absolument rien !

Points positifs: • La gentillesse du personnel ! Tres attentif aux clients et très sympathiques. Un grand grand plus pour cet hôtel. • La propreté des chambres, nettoyé 2x par jour. • Les petits singes qui viennent rendre visite :-) • Les crêpes pour les 4 heures :-) • La beauté du ressort, les jardins, et surtout la plage. Malgré la marée basse on peut quand même trouver un moment dans journée pour profiter de l'océan. Nous avons passé un séjour magnifique. Très reposant et agréable. Merci !

Points négatifs: • Nous avons eus pendant plusieurs jours une piscine avec une pompe qui ne fonctionnait pas, mais le manager a pris les choses en main en nous changeant de chambre. • La nourriture est souvent la même mais tout de même très bonne !

Points positifs: Location Room Cleanliness

Points négatifs: Reception staff Food

Points positifs: Konokono was absolutely beautiful. From the moment you arrive the staff are wonderful, so friendly and welcoming. Our room was huge, spotlessly clean and super comfortable. The food at the hotel is out of this world, the pool and the beach are amazing. There really isn't a bad word to say about Konokono, we would return again tomorrow if we could!

Points négatifs: Nothing, Konokono is heaven on earth.

Points positifs: The view from the dining room, over the infinity pool out onto the beach, was breathtaking. The villa was way bigger than expected, extremely private and the bed was very comfortable. The sand on the beach was incredibly soft and luxurious, and the water was clear and beautiful. There were a few friendly resort cats that delighted us (Dinky and Maggie) and it was fun to see all the monkeys. The staff was very friendly. We felt incredibly relaxed.

Points négatifs: The staff was almost too attentive, but that's not the worst thing in the world.

Points positifs: Pas grand chose Grosse déception

Points négatifs: Publicité et photo mensongère

Points positifs: Contexte vue sur mer

Points négatifs: Décevant très très cher pour ce que c’est

Points positifs: La gentillesse et le professionnalisme du personnel La plage tranquille et paradisiaque La beauté du lieu Les petites attentions Endroit hors du temps et de la réalité

Points positifs: La localisation Le calme La propreté ( chambres nettoyées 2 fois par jour) Le personnel très gentil serviable toujours souriant . La plage malgré les marées . Bref tout

Points négatifs: Rien

Points positifs: Nous avons séjourner dans une villa vu sur jardin d une propreté irréprochable ! Le personnel de l hotel est très professionnel et accueillant. Calme et discrétion assurée nous recommandons ce lieu et pensons y séjourner de nouveau !

Points négatifs: Rien !

Points positifs: Konokono was a fantastic end to our week in Zanzibar. We had a garden view villa which we absolutely loved and actually preferred to the beach front rooms. Villa was exceptionally spacious, beautiful linen, a living room and a private dipping pool. Our booking came with the half board option which I would highly recommend as you are really isolated and so eating out would require a bit of a hike. The food is 7 stars, we actually had to miss the free tea time at 5pm so that we would be starving to enjoy the fully spread for dinner. The hotel has free kayaks, volley ball, badminton, table tennis and one of the best beaches for swimming we had on our trip.

Points négatifs: Wish we had stayed longer! Really nothing we could fault with this hotel. Perhaps our only feedback is the cleaning staffed changed the towels a lot during turn down and we really didn't need so many towel changes - let's save water and the planet :)

Points positifs: Beautiful beaches. Friendly staff. Good tours.

Points négatifs: Difficulty in conveying the seriousness of food allergies.

Points positifs: Bungalow, Beach, People, Taylors work, very interested Manager, House Keeping Susanne very good job, Breakfast delicious, Breakfast cook very fast and friendly

Points négatifs: Nothing!

Points positifs: Great location. Very relaxing and great team at the hotel.

Points négatifs: There was nothing I didn’t like.

Points positifs: The staff and manager George were absolutely fantastic.

Points positifs: Staff were so friendly and welcoming, it felt like home. George went out of his way to make our stay everything we hoped it would be. The beach is beautiful and secluded. Rooms were authentic and had great views.

Points négatifs: The evening meal was a set menu with little choice. We felt we were paying for food we would not have necessarily wanted or chosen (although food served was lovely.)

Points positifs: Le personnel au petit soin, les lodges charmant et la plage bien sûr.

Points négatifs: Rien, tout était très bien !

Points positifs: Friendly staff

Points négatifs: Sometimes electricity power failure

Points positifs: Superbe hôtel romantique calme on entrevoit le lever du soleil en se réveillant.

Points positifs: Nothing

Points négatifs: I booked a family bungalow indicated that the capacity of the room is muximum 4 adults and its floor space is 100 square meter. However the room was totally too small for 4 adults. We also booked with all inclusive plan but quantity and quality of the food was really disappointing and choice of the drinks were very limited. Their facilities are old and cheap, and our room had problem with hot water and we had to wait more than one hour to shower. We paid nearly 500 dollars for this disappointing stay definitely we will not recommend this lodge to anyone who wanna good service and relaxing in Zanzibar.

Points positifs: only the beach which had nothing to do with the hotel was nice

Points négatifs: didn't like anything about the room. hard mattress and pillows, no windows only shutter and mosquito net on shutter, poor finishing, and skimpy curtains, no telephone to call reception, no fridge or mini bar, NO AC only fan. Just not comfortable at all for a holiday. comfort of my home is 10 times better.

Points positifs: Le cadre authentique, le calme, l emplacement, le personnel accueillant et disponible, tous l'ensemble est parfait, les repas délicieux et copieux.

Points positifs: Le cadre . La plage

Points négatifs: La qualité des repas n était pas au rendez-vous pour le prix payé . Une prestation de cantine pour école, un cuisinier médiocre sans imagination... un gros problème pour la prestation souhaitée, donc déçu.
