Zanzibar Magic Boutique Hotel in Matemwe

Me and my husband stayed here from the 16th to the 22nd of March after safari in Tanzania. It's a great place to relax. The staff is so kind and helpful and they make great food. We are really gonna miss the fresh fruit for breakfast. We went on a tour to a spice farm and Stone Town on the 19th of March. The driver was the best. We learned a lot about Zanzibar. And the guides both at the spice farm and Stone Town were great. Sharing all kinds of information. A gratis experience. Thanks.

Nice hotel, nice staff, very quiet and peaceful.

Location and general areas are very attractive. Staff is very kind and helpful. Kitchen and rooms are on the basic side.

An amazing evening of August at the Magic Boutique Hotel, by the joyful sounds of a local band and the poetic moon mirroring in the sea, is exactly what anyone could desire. Delicious food, fresh and well presented, excellent desserts and colourful cocktails. The staff from the restaurant and the bar are wonderful: smiling all the time, friendly, helpful and extremely attentive to the guests' needs. We'd suggest to publicize more the amazing events proposed, such as the live music, the excellent ice-creams, the cocktails and the relaxing yoga lessons, by putting, for example, a sign or a board on the wall in front of the bar or on the beach.

Very quiet are away from the tourist crowd, walking on the beach is relaxing. The breakfast was very good.

A little piece of paradise

This side of Zanzibar Island is quite a distance from any service, shopping or dining so everything has to be arranged through the hotel or a tour company. It is a small boutique hotel, which we liked and worked out ok for us, but we didn't really realize in advance that once you're there, you're kinda stuck. We enjoyed the food, salt-water pool, sit-upon kayaks (not sea kayaks) and walking on the beach but it was quite windy while we were there and the bicycles were old and rickety, but gave us a good workout. There were some poor descriptions about what each tour included, there is no laundry facility guests can use as the website said. They could send laundry out, but not very cheaply, and we were concerned how long it would take. The desk manager did work with us to clarify tour descriptions and coordinated transfers and tours to our satisfaction. He made adjustments to the tour descriptions and our final bill when we pointed out the discrepancies, so were grateful for that. Stone Town and Prison Island tours were not as impressive as expected, but I'm comparing to an extremely well-done tour in Ghana of the slave dungeons of the Cape Coast Castle, which was much more comprehensive and informative.
If you are prepared to just go relax on the beach or by the pool, it's a beautiful setting, but be warned the tide goes in and out nearly 3 times per day, so swimming in the ocean when the tide is out really isn't an option.
It is a gated security property.

We, a family of 4, had five fantastic days at this hotel. The beach was amazing, the food great, the yoga teacher Farah a star and the staff friendly and helpful. Bikes for free, massage very good. Rooms with seaview and great balcony. We do hope we Will be back soon although it is a long way from Sweden.

The king bed was 2 beds together and you fell through in the middle a bit.
