The Villa was just on the beachfront. Great and quiet location if you want to chill and relax on the beach. The owners of the hotel are really really nice and helpful people. They helped us soo much on our last day. We are very very thankful for that. The villa was fully equipped with refrigerator, coffee machine, cutlery etc. There is everything you need. You can also book any kind of tour with them. Their tours are reliable and of good quality. One of the evenings, there was also a very nice live music in the restaurant. Overall we enjoyed our stay so much and would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Zanzibar.

The Kichwa House is the best place to stay in Kiwengwa! The staff is very welcoming and kind, ready to help you when you need. The house is just in front of a beautiful beach where you can also have kitesurf lessons. The place is quite but well served and not far from the village if you need to go for shopping. Definetly recommended.

Very remote place. Fantastic if you prefer an authentic and family run small hotel. Very nice food and nice staff. If you look for a small place where you can relax, this is the place to be. Very nice beach and no beach boys. Don’t expect night life or animation here.

We were thoroughly impressed. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with all the necessary amenities including a TV. The hotel staff were truly awesome - they were welcoming, friendly and always ready to assist with any request or inquiry. The location of the hotel is perfect, with stunning views of the ocean and easy access to the beach. The hotel's facilities and services were top-notch, with a fantastic restaurant serving delicious meals and offered a great selection of soft drinks and fresh juices. One of the highlights of my stay was the fantastic service provided by the hotel staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable, and their friendly and attentive approach really made me feel at home. Overall, I highly recommend the Isla Bonita hotel for anyone visiting Matemwe, Zanzibar.

The facilities are great. Pool with umbrellas and sunbed, shower, comfortable sofa chair near pool, so You can relax 100% On the beach- I can say ocean view- is a nice bar where delicious drinks&snacks are served. On the beach there are large sunbeds and umbrellas and a nice ocean breeze sparkling with beautiful colors. At night, the beach is climatically illuminated. It was our honeymoon and we chose the perfect place for it. The owner of the property-Monika, upgraded our room from Delux to Superior as a honeymoon gift - the apartment was beautifully decorated and a bottle of champagne was waiting for us as well. They organize for us an amazing honemoon dinner on the beach- we were very impresse. We like this residence, so much that we plan to rent the entire residence with a group of 10 friends for the next holiday. We would like to thank the Cast Away team for putting their hearts into every detail of our stay- everything was perfect. See You soon.
