Beach Hotels in Mtende

The view is so beautiful. You can see and hear the ocean while lying in bed. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious at the restaurant. Sweet dogs and cats. Enjoyed every moment of our short stay and witnessed both moonrise and sunrise from our terrace.

Very nice place with a super helpful owner and with a great staff. The location is excellent, right on the rocks of Mtende beach with a beautiful view to the ocean. Great place to have a rest, relax and enjoy the nature and the ever changing faces of the beach with no crowd at all. The restaurant was also excellent, serving fresh fruits and seafood.

After a week crowded Nungwei beach we have spent there 6 unforgettable days! This was the one of the top hospitality experience ever! The location is quite stunning with direct access to the beach, sleeping in wooden caban with toilets and shower. The bungalows are so unique and cosy, simplicity and elegance are the right words to describe. They offer lunch and dinner in a restaurant with a single menu though that changes everyday, usually rice with fresh fish. All the local staff and the massai working there are very friendly and helpful. If you look for something natural, we would recommend.And no need be scared about the bush babies in the night, they are so sweet ;)

Amazing and very kind service, not simply accommodating the needs but anticipating them. The villas are simply right, well equipped and very carefully furnished. The beach is calm and despite the sea not being on par with other parts of the island, the calmness makes up for it. Very very very recommended.

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.

- perfect spot for resting and beautiful scenery - the villa is literally on the beach - you can see the ocean from the bed - you can watch the sunrise from your bed or romantically from the heartshaped pier, swing or beach - it’s very quiet and so you wont see many people except for some locals working during low tide - staff is very friendly, helpful and on point (fast response and solving problems/requests) - the manager is very hospitable, initiates sharing information but also leaves you alone immediately when finished - the manager’s cat is living on the property and she’s super cute and playful - they arrange taxi, massage, yoga classes and tours - you can use the supboards for free - breakfast is very delicious and versatile and almost entirely suitable for vegetarians - restaurants offers outside of menu options for lunch and dinner as requested, even local dishes that are not on the menu - water pressure is very good and hot water - airconditioning and fan works perfectly - complimentary drinks upon arrival and leave

The staff was absolutely incredible, the rooms were spacious, nice and clean, and the food delicious! I would 1000% recommend this hotel!

We must say we loved being at Mandarine every single day of our Stay. The stuff is beyond amazing, the environment and hospitality at large were homely. The Entertainment was awesomely special! We definitely recommend this lodge and looking forward to more future endeavors and hopefully to come back soon.
