Beach Hotels in Mtendeni

Very nice calm place, great to relax and revive

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.

I came here after climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, my main goal was to sleep, swim and relax after the hike. Overall, perfect place if you are looking for a little hideaway. Lovely sea view from my room. A number of hamocks, couches and sunbeds along the sea front to chose from to chill and sleep. Didnt feel overcrowded, very relaxed atmosphere, food, drinks, massage all well priced

All things in this hotel are exceptional. The location, the staff ( the head manager, Mr. Hanna and the cheif Mr. Amr), the meals, the veiw and the hotel is like a very magnificent garden. It is like a haven on earth. I wish to stay forever in this hotel. It was a great choice I am very thankful to all staff.

Food, service, pools, almost everything

We had such a charming stay here. It's a very unique setting with just a few rooms overlooking Eden Rock, so you have almost exclusive access to the stunning Mtende beach in the mornings and evenings. The only sounds you hear are the sea, the birds and the local fishermen. Communication was good with David the host, staff were excellent and the highlight for me was how well the local cats and dogs are treated by the hotel. The rooms are gorgeous and beds super comfy - can't beat the views from the upper floors. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to those looking for a special setting (very much) off the beaten track. Food was good (especially the prawns). 2-3 nights recommended.

A beautiful hotel complex. We mainly used the days to relax as we did a lot on the island in the first week. We had breakfast and dinner included. Both could be chosen from the menu, the portions were really big and more than sufficient. And not to forget, delicious with a view of the sea. We had booked a bungalow and were overwhelmed. It was better than the photos on Booking.com show. The staff were always very courteous and friendly. At low tide you can take long walks on the beach. Definitely recommended.

I was stay in the honeymoon villa and it was just amazing. Beautiful and my butler ramadan was excellent :) i stayed 2 weeks in zanzibar in 6 diffrent hotells and this was the best i stayed at. Best food, best service, best room clean everything. I would defintly come back here if i go back to Zanzibar. Has nothing bad to say about this accomodation.

The rooms and their customers service is exceptional

It’s really beautiful and cosy hotel. We spend there 5 nights during our honeymoon and it was absolutely fantastic place. If you are lucky you can see a lot of animals, monkeys playing around on the roof of restaurant. It is like a place in paradise with wonderful view. Also food in the restaurant is really good and people who work there ale helpful and nice :)
