Beach Hotels in Mtende

We spent almost two weeks there. A very interesting place, located by the ocean, in a landscape park, with a beautiful cliff beach, which is a tourist attraction. Its safe. The bungalow next to the restaurant is furnished with all necessary media and furniture, and the views from the bedroom or balcony are sensational. Restaurant at the highest level, well-thought-out menu, always fresh products, delicious food. Very nice and helpful staff, the boss Patrick is an extremely nice person, with interesting ideas and a life mission. In our opinion, this is a place for those who like nature, animals, who love Africa. The view of the ocean, the sound of the waves, the sounds of animals, delicious food and wonderful people - this is the magic of this place. An ideal place for contemplation, meditation and rest. Internet available in the restaurant and bungalows located nearby. We wholeheartedly recommend this place for more than one night.

Location incredible. Unlike rest of zanzibar there is very very little trash and plastic floating around on the beach, and the water is clear. There is beach and nature as long as the eye can see and very little people. Owner is excellent and staff is very very nice - consider tipping them when you leave if you pay your whole bill upon checkout. At least if you usually tip meals etc. Room and privacy nice, private sunbeds outside room. No AC as one should expect from an eco-lodge, but a fan that works well. Room is good, Seaview and spacious. Big restroom. Relatively large village within walking distance. It is very interesting to walk through. There is a large large baobab tree with a staircase that leads up into the tree. This is nice, and cost 1 usd i think. Also you can buy cold soda and crisps etc in many of the local kiosks. Came here for Christmas, and I had maybe the best Christmas dinner I've ever had. Special Christmas eve package of 4 courses including lobster, and coffee and a cocktail for under 30 usd. Also great paella with lobster, calamari, octopus and tuna for 30k tsh the next day, also amazing. Very nice vibe and clientele was very nice and polite. Staff great!! They are lovely and I wish I could have gotten to know them by staying longer - maybe another time.

Friendly owners and staff. Bungalows right by the sea. Paradise on earth.

Amazing rooms. Very lovely staff. Great communication with Clove Island ♥️

Absolutely stunning location overlooking the ocean and the nearby fishermen's beach. Outstanding hospitality from everyone...the couple who own Mama Root as well as the staff. The food was truly superb. The seafood evening meals were the best I have had in East Africa. Finally, the peace and serenity were perfect and just what I needed.

What makes Palmera so special is its inspiring mission. The hotel and restaurant operate as a hospitality school for local young women, and the exceptional service they provide is a direct reflection of their training. From their warm smiles to their impeccable attention to detail, you can feel the genuine pride they take in their work. The hotel's setting is pure paradise. The infinity pool overlooking the turquoise sea is mesmerizing, and the lush, immaculately kept gardens create a perfect oasis for relaxation. It was wonderful to be able to walk barefoot through the fine sand and simply enjoy the tranquility. For anyone, but especially for vegans, the restaurant is a must-visit. The creative and delicious vegan dishes, all beautifully prepared and presented by the talented students, were a true highlight. It's a testament to the high-quality training they are receiving. The breakfast, in particular, was the best I had during my three-week stay in Tanzania, the homemade warm bread and homemade chocolate spread were unforgettable. For lunch and dinner, with main courses priced between $11 and $13, it offers exceptional value. This 15-room hotel is a quiet retreat. I stayed when it was almost empty and had no issues with noise, but even when full, the large garden and pool area should provide plenty of space for guests. The price range for double rooms in the 2025 high season was 70-100 USD. All rooms face the sea, though the view can be a bit limited from some of the downstairs rooms. While the large windows are beautiful, the curtains don’t fully cover them, which could be a privacy concern for some. I prefer a firm mattress, and the bed was perfect for me, but it might be a bit too hard for others. The solar-powered hot water worked flawlessly. The road to the hotel is a little bumpy on the last kilometer, but there are plans to improve it. In the bathrooms, I would have appreciated a bit more space to dry towels, or a drying rack on the terrace.

This place is one of the best accommodation I have had and even it is better than the photos in booking.com. It’s a real paradise very clean very well decorated very calm and peaceful just in front of the beach and you can see sunrise from your bed. On top of everything is the staff, they are super nice, kind and smiley that makes you feel very comfortable. The breakfast is amazing and varied, they have best banana pancakes the only thing can be better than is the coffee. The restaurant has a good chef and they can prepare you the food as you want even if it is not in the menu. There are also other restaurants and hotels around for food in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this place you will enjoy your time there.

It is the most beautiful and relaxing place I have ever been to. The deco is a unique mixture between local and Jamaican culture. There are so many beautiful little hideouts where you can just lay down and relax. The pool is extraordinary. The food in the restaurant is incredible and at a very good price. The staff is so friendly and genuine. The discrete music is a beautiful mixture between african vibes and raggae. And also, we were not bothered by not having a beach. When the tide was low we walked around admiring little șea creatures and we visited the village nearby. When the tide was high we swam around. I fully and absolutely recommend this place.

This was by far the best experience I have ever had in any country, resort and hotel. I am truly sad to be leaving. The manager came and picked us up himself, free airport transfer. Very safe and accommodating. The manager, Mr.Hanny is a very nice man who went above and beyond during our stay here. He made sure we were comfortable the whole time and any concerns we had, he addressed them promptly. The two beautiful hostess at the front were also so nice and accommodating. They helped us book our excursions and exchange our money. The resort was so clean and beautiful. The room was beautifully set up, very clean bathroom and comfortable beds. The restaurant on the beach was amazing. The chef Amr is the kindest man I have ever met and he makes delicious food. He is also very accommodating and goes above and beyond for every meal. I will truly miss him and may Allah bless him. The waiters at the restaurant also very nice people, I love them so much. During our stay we were able to visit Salaam Cave. The hotel was able to set up safe transfer and it was a beautiful experience, I would say go early before it gets busy. They also helped us set up a safe boat tour, we went swimming with dolphins at sunrise, snorkeling with fishes in the ocean, fresh caught seafood lunch at pungume island and safari tour on boat. Every thing was priced very well for a truly breathtaking experience. I have never stayed somewhere that all the staff are genuinely nice and good people. Everyone is so welcoming, I had an amazing stay here. They will treat you like family. Even the locals on the beach are so kind and friendly. I definitely would love to come back here, it’s an amazing place truly paradise. I miss Mandarin resort already.

Faciliteiten , very friendly staff, great food, Ahmet the manager did a great job !!
