"The place is great for a retreat. The lodges are spaceful, with air and view, very unique. In addition, I especially enjoyed the service from the Manager Martin: I had told him I was arriving late and couple sandwiches were waiting at my room so that I wouldn't go to bed with an empty stomach. And I asked him to organize for me a fishing party which he did fantastically and for a very reasonable price. I went early morning an hour out from the coast fishing Tuna with good and experienced guys....

"The hotel is not nearly as beautiful as it is in the pictures. I am sure it was amazing 5 years ago but it has fallen into a bad state of disrepair. A colony of bats made a home inside and leave their droppings all over the hallway and in room #4 if you are lucky to get that one. Room #1 smelled of raw sewage. However, the wifi is blazing fast and works all over the property and beach. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. I just wish the owners would invest a little in repairs and clean out...

Jambiani

"I had assumed incorrectly that Zanzistar was on the beach, so when I arrived, I was really disappointed. I felt claustrophobic in the garden which is surrounded on all sides by high fences. The beach bar which is a 5-minute walk away was underwhelming and there were lots of people smoking. Unless you lay in the front row, in the sun, you couldnt really enjoy the sea view. Unlike the photos, our room was very dark and it was impossible not to bring sand into the room without a deck/patio by the...

The Residence Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"We had lot of issues with poorly maintained appliances , light switches , bathrooms , WiFi connectivity , property is amazing otherwise"

Baraza Resort & Spa Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at the Baraza Resort. Although the beach, villa and food were top notch, it is the staff that deserve six stars! The entire staff are so wonderful and cater to your every need. This was the perfect stop after 8 days of Safari before our long journey home. I can’t recommend the hotel more highly. We also enjoyed the spa which was fabulous."

Villa Huruma

10/10 Excellent

"Initially placed in a smaller room overnight and moved to a more expansive room with a substantial balcony for the rest of our stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable and really well maintained by attentive and friendly staff. It was literally a four minute walk to the beach along a quiet path, with a five or six minute walk to the centre of town where the more substantial shops and restaurants were. So overall no isdue with the accommodation or location in relation to convenience or quality of service."

Fruit & Spice Wellness Resort Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay a this resort. We stayed in the honeymoon villa and it was beautiful. Jacuzzi, pool, and private entrance into the ocean and beach. The highlight was Saturday night dinner and entertainment on the resort beach. We tried some amazing dishes and staff was friendly. My personal favorites were the fried king fish and chicken biryani. I did get food poisoning half way through our stay but it passed within 2 days and the food tasted great. There was a mandatory twice a day clean and spray for pests, which we did appreciate. Julius was an amazng help our entire stay. The only complaints were the fees. We booked full board and that did not include drinks like water. We were also charged a $5 per person/per day tax fee. Also a fee for food not included as well as an additional 10% tax on all food and drinks not included. There was also a $10 fee if you wanted room service. Seemed like a money grab, we spent over $300 after paying 2k for the villa. Alcoholic drinks were inconsistent. Water was leaking form AC. I would recommend still but they could make some adjustments."

Ndame Paje Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay at Ndame Paje Hotel! The room was spotlessly clean with a beautiful beach view. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean is stunning. Staff were friendly and the restaurant food was very good! Jozani National Park is conveniently close for a day trip. Perfect peaceful spot right on Paje Beach. Highly recommended!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mtende?

The best area to stay in Mtende is along the coastline near the village centre, particularly close to the main beach.

This area offers direct access to the white sand beaches and the Indian Ocean. It's where you'll find the primary accommodations and eateries, providing a convenient base for exploring the local environment and enjoying water activities.

For couples seeking a tranquil and romantic getaway, staying in one of the boutique lodges or villas directly on the beach is ideal. These properties often feature private verandas, stunning sea views, and direct access to swimming and snorkelling, allowing for a secluded and intimate experience away from larger crowds.

Families will also find the beachfront area suitable, particularly resorts that offer spacious family rooms or bungalows.

When is the best time to go to Mtende?

The best time to go to Mtende is during the dry season, which runs from June to October and again from December to February. This period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the area and enjoying its natural beauty.

During these months, you can expect warm temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and minimal rainfall. This makes it ideal for activities like relaxing on the beaches, snorkelling or diving in the clear waters, and exploring the local villages without the interruption of heavy downpours. The sea conditions are typically calm and inviting, superb for water-based excursions.

Conversely, the rainy seasons, particularly from March to May and a shorter period in November, can bring heavy tropical showers.
