Ocean Boutique Hotel

We had the most amazing week at the Ocean Boutique Hotel for our honeymoon. The hotel is beautiful and right on the beach with every room having a view of the ocean. It is very quiet and a little piece of paradise which was just what we wanted. We had champagne on arrival as part of the honeymoon package and the room was beautifully decorated. Evalyne, Yasinta and Deborah at the front desk were so helpful with anything we needed and organised a surprise dinner on the beach for us which was so gorgeous. They’d put so much thought into it. The hotel, pool area and room was immaculately clean. The waiters and waitresses made our holiday extra special. Augustino, Peter, Suleman, Kelvin, Milka, Alisha (sorry if we’ve forgotten anyone!) were amazing from start to finish and went above beyond. We really can’t thank them enough. Breakfast was a buffet with lots of options, fresh omelettes and pancakes, pastries and cereals. We loved having coffee looking out over the beach. Late morning fresh fruit and cold towels were brought round by the pool. The evening meal was a la carte or buffet and there were lots of choices for us who are vegetarian. The a la carte was 3-4 courses and really gorgeous food. The chef Ally came to speak to us after each meal and all the team who served us on the buffet evenings were so lovely. We had planned to visit other restaurants but the food was so good, service was wonderful and we had a sea view every evening so there was nothing more we could have asked for. The area of Dongwe is quiet so we used taxis to visit other places (Paje was about 15 minutes away) but quiet was just perfect for us on our honeymoon. You could go out on a boat trip from next door to the hotel with the blue lagoon just a few minutes away which was great for snorkelling. I would highly recommend this hotel and it will always be a special place for us. Thank you! ☺️

My family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children aged 22 yrs, 21 yrs, 19 yrs and 17 yrs) had the most wonderful 9 day stay at The Ocean Boutique. From the amazing views, lovely spacious family rooms, to the delicious food - everything was perfect. However, what really makes this place is the people who work there; front of house staff, Evalyne and Yasinta were amazing and so helpful with the many questions I had before we even arrived! Breakfast and dinner was a pleasure due to the service of Kelvin, Solomon, Augustino, Peter, Viscard (sp?), Chef Ali and others who I didn't get names for (sorry!). Maids were also exceptional and cleaned the rooms twice a day. Such a relaxing place with the perfect blend of a pool and then stepping out onto the beautiful white sands of Dongwe beach. The hotel is guarded by Masai which makes it feel very safe. We did several trips, some organised through the hotel (Safari Blue and safari day trip to Mikumi) as well as others to Starfish Beach, Jozani monkey forest, Paje beach, The Rock Restaurant and Salaam cave (to feed the turtles). Great location for walks on the beach when the tide goes out, though wear beach shoes as there are lots of sea urchins! A truly magical experience - we hope to return soon!

Amazing amazing hotel and location. Special shoutout to the hotel staff. They went above and beyond the entire time. They came around with snacks and cold towels during the day while hanging out at the pool. The food and drinks are top tier. The chef killed it every single night!! Any special request we had they would meet. Only recommendation is to ensure they clearly outline the dress code for the restaurant. It’s not strict at all but it should be very clear.

This is one of the most incredible hotels I have ever been to - coming from someone whom has travelled to many islands. Not only is the location absolutely incredible, the food is outstanding and the pool is like taking a dip in heaven - but one of the true highlights are the staff. They are so attentive, caring, make you feel so at home and just absolutely wonderful The location is perfect, it’s a very secluded area if you don’t want the hustle and bustle, the beach is long with soft white sand and lined with palm trees. The water is clean, clear and SO warm. The rooms are big, very clean and you feel like you’re waking up in paradise everyday. I cannot express how magical this place is - a stay you will never forget!!

What can I say?!? An immaculate adults only hotel right on the beach. Rooms all have a sea view and are more than big enough. Views from the room and restaurant are breathtaking, especially at sun rise. The staff were incredibly polite, helpful and attentive. It was end of season when I visited, but the weather was great and being very quiet made it all the more relaxing. Special mention to Chef Ally, Kelvin, Peter, Aisha, Anna, Debora and Evelyn. There are others I have missed no doubt. You guys do a great job. I hope to return. Hotel is a $25 round trip by taxi to Paje and Michamwi and this takes about 15 mins each way if you like things a little livelier. The food provided by Ally was varied and tasty.

Wonderful hotel situated right on the beach. I particularly enjoyed the dinning area with expansive views of the Indian Ocean. Bedrooms were very comfortable and clean. Staff were courteous and attentive. Highly recommended for quiet or relaxing escapade.
