Unbelievably friendly staff, such a lovely and luxurious place at a "wallet friendly" price, and so much to do (music one night, yoga, a nearby beach...). The food was delicious and - and here's the icing on the cake - their ice (for drinks) was frozen from pure bottled water, so no nerves about tummy troubles!
I liked everything. Honestly. Last stop on a long tour, and it was soooo nice. If I were to split hairs I'd say there was no Aircon, but on a beautiful island you don't want to ruin the environment and the fans in the room did a great job.

It was a great hideaway oasis in Matemwe! The pools were lovely, good restaurant with live entertainment a few nights. Massage and yoga onsite! Mona, Lewasa, Salma and of course the owners Paco and Maria (and the boss cat Gordito!). Such a comfortable place that is good for anyone needing a place to relax. Quick walk to the beach and a liquor store right on the corner!!
It is basic, bring soap and a beach/pool towel. It is a natural place, if you’re looking for 5-star luxury it’s not for you…but honestly, it so comfortable and amazing.

My family and I stayed 5 nights here and felt very comfortable and taken care of. It really is an oasis in Matemwe and there are so many nice places to sit and relax. It feels organic and authentic and that is exactly what we were looking for on this trip. We relaxed by the pools, read, played games, watched a great acrobat show and enjoyed talking to all the staff. Mona made us feel very welcome and never forgot our names. Mohammad, Fum and Rajabu did a great job behind the bar and we loved how Rajabu’s art was incorporated within the resort. It really has a family feel and you can tell that Maria and Paco are very involved with the community as all the locals that we spoke to seemed to know them. Maria also gave me an extremely relaxing massage which I can definitely recommend. Our rooms were cleaned daily and the grounds staff were always sweeping and cleaning the pools. Every other hotel we stayed in had really hard mattresses but the beds here were quite comfortable. This is an eco lodge so there is no air con. Our son struggled a bit but it was generally manageable with fans and the windows open.
The only thing I would add is a mini fridge because being able to have cold water in the rooms is really important in such a hot country and also some hammocks, because this is a hammock kinda place 🤷🏻♀️🤩.
