Mvuvi Boutique Resort

We had an incredible stay at Mvuvi hotel with my family. The rooms were spacious, very clean (cleaned twice every day) and every bed had a mosquito net. The pool and beach areas were wonderful and the food absolutely delicious. The wait for food was very long so it is recommended you order as early as possible. There are two venues of the same hotel both very nice. Take advantage of the day trips the hotel can book for you as there were the highlight of our trip!

Fantastic experience . You really get to relax and appreciate in comfort the nature. Everyone welcoming and smiling. Food was fresh and delicious, with daily specials. Special thanks to Gertrude who was very friendly and professional and to Carolina and little Sofia for making us feel in the right place at the right time. Keep it up!

Restaurant service was abysmal waiting staff clearly had no experience and didn't know what they were doing had to wait ages for everything you asked for would not recommend this hotel and it was not where we had booked this was an overspill hotel 200 yards away from where we booked

Spent 4 nights at Mvuvi for a family wedding, and I can’t recommend Mvuvi more highly. Special mention needs to be made of the incredible staff. They are unbelievably friendly, attentive and helpful. Our comfort and enjoyment was a priority to them all. The food was absolutely incredible. Fresh, local produce, prepared beautifully. So tasty. Our room was fabulous. Bed was super comfy (fitted with mosquito net). The Aircon and ceiling fan were most welcome to ward off the heat to ensure a comfortable sleep. Bathroom was fab, and well kitted out with amenities. A beach bag was supplied with beach towels. Waking up and being able to walk straight out and into the warm ocean just a few metres away was the best way to start the day. You do need to deal with a few hagglers trying to get you to buy things but so long as you are polite but don’t engage with them, it’s fine. We rented boards for stand up paddle boarding from Mvuvi, and that was such fun. The pool facilities were fabulous, as was the food and bar service from the pool. The staff went all out to make the set up for the wedding look so spectacular, and for the big dinner the night before the wedding. So special. The owners of the resort were wonderful, and constantly checking to see guests were happy and well provided for. Overall an amazing experience. Haven’t felt so relaxed in years. Thank you Mvuvi.

On arrival I was upgraded to a sea view room which was decorated in semi traditional style which I loved. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Food in the restaurant was very tasty. The pool was the best I’ve experienced on my stay on the island. Good size for lap swimming and just relaxing. They have a cute little rustic outdoor weights area and there’s a great little shop onsite (Duotone) which hires out kite surfing, windfoils and SUP’s, etc. Mvuvi has 2 locations. There’s also a great view from the top floor of the hotel. They do massage up there but you can go up and check out the view. I was at The Beach Lounge location but the other location was also a great spot for a meal (on the deck or upstairs) - it also has accommodation and a book swap library for avid readers. I hadn’t been lucky with snorkeling in ZNZ but Kiwengwa presented the best starfish viewing and a good mix of marine life which I hadn’t found in other locations. In general, Kiwengwa lists everything in USD but you can pay TZS if you ask. I found the northern end much busier with larger hotels and many Massai and shops. I preferred the quieter space of The Beach Lounge but the action was only a short walk away. I would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Nice clean rooms with choice of airco or fan (or both). Halfboard well worth it (we added that on site). Got an upgrade to an ocean view room with balcony on arrival due to leaking airco. Very relaxing. Nice pool too
