Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay, with a beautiful beach featuring powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. The staff was attentive and made us feel valued, and the food was outstanding, particularly the Italian dishes. On the downside, while the rooms were clean, they didn't offer a sea view, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'd definitely return.
I had a fantastic stay at this charming little hotel right by the beach. The service was exceptional, thanks to the wonderful staff who truly went out of their way to make my experience memorable. The only downside was that drinks on-site were a bit pricey compared to local options. Overall, it was great value for money, especially considering the good meals and beautiful surroundings.
Our stay at Mvuvi was simply amazing! The location is perfect right on the beautiful white sandy beach, and the atmosphere is incredibly inviting. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, especially Allesandro and Grace. The food was delicious, though sometimes inconsistent. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, but the beach vendors can be a bit overwhelming at times.
I had an incredible stay at this boutique hotel, nestled right on the beautiful Kiwengwa beach. The atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful, making it a perfect getaway for relaxation. The highlight for me was the exceptional hospitality; the staff went out of their way to ensure my comfort. However, while the dining options were tasty, I felt they could offer more variety. Overall, this place is an amazing value for a beach holiday.
This beautiful boutique hotel is right on the beach and provides a peaceful, adult-friendly atmosphere. The staff is incredibly attentive, making sure every need is met while allowing privacy during your stay. The restaurant offers delicious meals with stunning ocean views, though the beach can be lively with vendors. Overall, a perfect spot for relaxation, though it may not be ideal for families with young children due to the remoteness.
