Mapenzi Beach Club is
located near Matemwe on the map. It is about an hour's drive out of Stone
Town. Being a lot cheaper than many of the other resorts on the East
Coast, we feel that this resort is definitely value for money. Located a little distance
away from other hotels, you are able to enjoy a large degree of privacy.
Also built in traditional Zanzibari style, with a huge thatched "makuti
roof" and coral walls, it makes quite an impressive sight when you
enter for the first time. The rooms are comfortable
and clean, whilst the food is fantastic. The main dining room is situated
quite high up and you have wonderful views of the ocean. Next to the
dining room is the main pub, where you will get the same views before
eating a wonderful dinner. Most rooms have a view of
the ocean. Only a couple do not, and they have views of the gardens which
are well maintained. We recommend that you stay in the sea front cottages,
as they are right on the beach. If you are wanting to dive,
the hotel does not have any of it's own facilities but they are able to
organise any of your dive needs with other nearby hotels.
We must
add that this is one of the few all inclusive hotels
we feature on our website. The accommodation price
includes all drinks (alcoholic and soft), certain
water sports and food.

| The rooms are
reasonably basic
but extremely comfortable. Each room has en-suite facilities, a hairdryer,
air conditioning, ceiling fan, telephone and safe deposit box. The beds
all have mosquito nets for guests safety. The beach front rooms have a
fantastic verandah where you can sit and relax and enjoy the ocean breeze.
Although a bit more expensive, these rooms are definitely worthwhile. The decor is traditional
East African and they are very well maintained.
