Everything about Utupoa was absolutely amazing and exactly what I was looking for. The ambiance and atmosphere is what makes this a true gem: Joyce and her team are amazing and go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The idea is that Utupoa provides you a home away from home, and that's exactly what my experience was like. Food: you can choose to stay and have dinner with other guests, or simply wander off to one of the nearby restaurants. I enjoyed the evening dinners so much that I never felt the need to go elsewhere. If the menu of the day would have something you don't particularly like, the team is always ready to accommodate and swap for something else. Room: spacious and comfortable. As mentioned several times, there is no air conditioning but the constant ventilation made it comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. Excellent mattress and mosquito nets to keep any bugs at bay. The fridge in the room came in handy to store some soft drinks. Be aware that this is Africa, and the occasional power cut will happen. This is simply part of the experience and didn't bother me at all. Wifi is excellent throughout the property and even onto the first part of the beach. The beach has significant tides and can be quite windy - I didn't mind at all because it was a great breeze. Utupoa is along the beach and ca 1.5 km from the nearby Matemwe village center where there is a little mini market (don't expect anything Western supermarket-like though!) and if you walk / drive from the back of the property it takes you through the village allowing a glimpse of everyday life of the Zanzibari people. Make sure to stay respectful though as people typically don't like their pictures taken, especially not without asking permission. Personally I refrained from taking any pictures at all from people in the village. Joyce, Bakari and the whole team: thanks so much for the great stay.

The Mambo Cabana Hotel offers a wonderful experience for a relaxing vacation. My room was spacious and beautiful, offering all the necessary comforts for rest. The food served was delicious with a variety of options that satisfied my taste buds. A big advantage is the location of the hotel, just 1 minute from the beach, which made access to the sea extremely convenient. Mambo Cabana is certainly an excellent choice for a holiday getaway.
