"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Es war einfach alles super! Man fühlt sich mitten im Dschungel und erlebt die Natur hautnah.

Auch das Essen im Restaurant war top und hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können das Monkey Mountain Hotel wirklich von Herzen weiterempfehlen!"

Makunduchi

"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...

Top Mtende Hotel Reviews

Breezes Beach Club & Spa – Half Board

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was amazing. The driver was at the airport upon arrival and check-in was a breeze. Everyone working at the resort was so incredibly nice and welcoming. The food was fantastic, with lots of choices for every taste. We were able to set up our excursions directly with the hotel and every outing was handled perfectly. The beach and pool were both very nice and it was great having our time here before heading over to Kenya for safaris. Truly enjoyed the stay!"

The Oasis Residence

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff and general manager Mr Kunal were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond their duties. Even the security team made us feel safe and secure. We left our kids for few hours and they made sure they didn't leave the complex and we're kept safe. Joshua, Joe, Kunal, and the all the team in the kitchen catered for all our needs. The location is perfect for quiet stay. The pools are deep but that help d my son to boost his confidence and he was fine swimming. Food at breakfast was amazing they even made no onion and garlic dishes without meat and eggs. Rooms were very clean each day, the team did a fantastic job thank you to all at the Oasis Residence"

Kwanza Resort By SUNRISE

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most amazing honeymoon stay at Kwanza Resort! ❤️ From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect and made our honeymoon so special and memorable. The resort was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the service was exceptional. All the staff were so kind, welcoming and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and well looked after. Their warmth and hospitality really made a difference to our experience. A special mention to the beautiful honeymoon and birthday decorations! 🥹❤️ They were so pretty and thoughtfully done, making our stay feel even more special. It was such a lovely touch and made our celebrations extra memorable. As someone who is vegetarian, I was especially pleased with the variety of vegan and vegetarian food options available. There was a great selection of delicious food, and it was wonderful to have options to enjoy throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate the beginning of our married life together. Thank you to the entire Kwanza Resort team for making our honeymoon so unforgettable. We made such beautiful memories here and would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a romantic getaway! 🌴✨ **Thank you, Kwanza Resort, for making our honeymoon so amazing! We would love to come back again!** ❤️"

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.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
