Boutique Villa Unaweza

Nous avons dormi dans plusieurs endroits de l’île, et clairement la Villa Unawesa était notre endroit préféré ! Le personnel était incroyablement gentil, l’hôtel très bien situé (à côté de la plage), nous avons très bien mangé (le petit déjeuner est excellent et copieux!), les chambres et le lieux sont très beaux, bref un petit paradis !

Nous avions réservé une chambre avec piscine privée. Quelques semaines avant d’arriver, nous sommes retournés sur le descriptif de la chambre qui précisait cette fois-ci que la piscine était partagée. C’est dommage car si nous avions su, une chambre classique nous aurait suffit, d’autant plus que la grande piscine est vraiment très bien.

We had an amazing stay at beautiful Villa Unaweza. The staff was super hospital and friendly and it was all clean. Designed with love for the details in Tanzanian traditional wood style. The island does not always have electricity but the resorts have a generator. The location is very calm and away from the „party areas“, nearby authentic local village with delicious food and drinks at or nearby the beautiful white-sandy beach.

The room/lodge didn’t have a toilet door. It was a design element but we would have preferred more privacy. Everything else was nice.

Tout était parfait. Le cadre est magnifique et le personnel aux petits soins. Le petit déjeuner est complet et le restaurant est délicieux avec une carte variée. Tout est d’une propreté impeccable.

The villa is in a very quiet surroundings. The pool is excellent with cosy beds. You can easily walk to the beach and walk to a beach bar Marafiki and Sunrise Hotel where is live music sometimes. You can also go to nearby restaurants (Marlin restaurant was very nice and half the price of a meal in Ville Unaweza) You can also walk to Matewme and there are several mini markets and also a Liqour store Mjambo (they sell beer for 20% of the price in the Villa) They fixed the things that didn't work in our room quickly.

The shower was not very warm and lots of ants in our room and terrace. The coffee with breakfast is not hot and if you ask for new coffee they just add water with the same filtercoffee, so it is not very strong coffee. The prices in the restaurant for meals and drinks are very high compared to the neighboorhood places. The taxi service is very expensive, we arranged a taxi with a local taxi driver for 60000 TSH ($25) also a trip to Kendwa for half the price offered in the Villa Unaweza. The wifi is not working properly and you have to log in every time you use your smartphone. Some websites don't work with videos.
