AHG Dream's Bay Beach Hotel - Adults Only

Hotel in Matemwe

Located in Matemwe, AHG Dream's Bay Beach Hotel - Adults Only offers 4-star accommodations with a private beach area, free bikes and an outdoor swimming pool.

Letizia
From
Italy
We loved the experience of staying in a boutique hotel - it truly felt like home after a few days! You leave your room and you reach the pool, the beach, and the restaurant in less than a minute. The rooms are comfy, clean, and nicely decorated. The pool is quite small, but serves the purpose. The location is ideal for a holiday by the sea, whereas all major day trips require at least a 75-minute drive from the hotel. On the other hand, Mnemba Island is just opposite the hotel. The staff are nice and always ready to offer a smile!

Panga Chumvi is a perfect place for relaxation.You can do morning or evening swimming. During the day, a reef walk and/or swimming pool. People are super kind and sweet. They took a great care of us. Lunch and dinner are amazing and not that expensive. We would love to come back.

Sandra
From

From the moment we arrived the staff welcomed us and removed all stress from our travels: cool face towels, drink, and right to our room instead of reviewing lots of information about the property. Definitely the sign of a manager (Martin) with excellent hospitality skills. Walking into our room we were amazed at the intricate decorations made of flowers and palms on the bed spelling out "Happy 20th Anniversary"! Such a thoughtful personal touch that was the start of many wonderful memories at Alladin! The elements of the room that impressed us were the high quality pillows and bedding, quiet AC, comfy bathrobes, hot shower with good water pressure, wardrobe that fit long dresses, and incredible ocean view from the bed and balcony! We loved the large pool with infinity edge and plenty of seating and beach towels, it was always clean and well kept. Other unique amenities: a gym available for working out with AC, a rooftop lounge where we watched African safari videos while having a sundowner, free kayak for a paddle out to the reef, a private jacuzzi that you could reserve for a special romantic and relaxing experience! We even had champagne delivered to our jacuzzi time! Excellent and beautifully presented food for every meal, with something for everyone. The staff were attentive and available whenever needed, and were happy to accomodate any request we had. We really enjoyed the night with live music performance with African dancing, which all of the guests joined in and had a great time! We really enjoyed our chats with the manager Martin and his positive energy is what made Alladin glow, and we watched him interact with all the guests to ensure each one had the vacation they wanted. Don't wait, book the Alladin, you won't regret it! We will definitely be coming back!

The property is very cozy, staff are helpful and the breakfast is good (avo toast is a must to try). The location is near Mnemba island and 30 minutes away from Nungwi and not as crowded like the other areas of the island. Locals are very friendly. The property is beachfront.

    The snorkeling was a true adventure, with well-protected marine life and crystal-clear water. Spotting the dolphins was an unexpected bonus! Visiting the sea turtle rehabilitation center and feeding them was a special experience.

    Matemwe beach was huge and totally uncrowded - some days we were lucky to see 10 - 20 people pass by! Loved the Massai beach hawkers - friendly and laid back happy to have their pictures taken - no hassle or relentless chasing - once told 'no' they respected our space. Recommend a day trip to Nungwi for a completely different vibe and fantastic sunset. Matemwe is somewhat isolated and if you want to get around you need to secure the number of a local taxi driver - always bargain hard beforehand. Most hotels organise trips/tours but at a premium.

    It was a quieter beach which was nice which also meant not too many people hassling you to buy things. Those that did were respectful. Beach is nice but the sea depth is very shallow most of the day so swimming wasn't the easiest and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there.

    It’s very quiet, very few non hotel restaurants, overpriced food everywhere, can’t swim in the sea unless you don’t mind knee deep water. There’s no town, or town centre outside the beach hotels, so a long stay would be challenging if you want more than just lounging by the hotel pool.

    Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

    Since Matemwe is heavily influences by the tide, a pool at the hotel is crucial on the east side of Zanzibar. This hotel has a pool right by the beach. Staff is kind and rooms are comfy with good ac. Each evening the staff goes through the rooms spraying mosquito repellent which is a very nice touch. Restaurant prices are good for this area of Zanzibar. Close to Mnemba island and Dolphin snorkeling to make tours for scuba diving and snorkeling. Located on a very nice beach but beware the beach boys selling stuff there are very persistant.

    Lovely boutique hotel with lovely staff. Very clean room and all communal areas very well looked after. All neat and clean. Breakfast with the best view. Very peaceful. Not tried the pool but was great lounging under the palm trees on the authentic looking deckchair overlooking the sea. Bliss. Limited breakfast options but enough choice for my 3 day stay. Offered packed breakfast on my departure day as I left very early, at 5am. Would definitely go back to Zanzibar Magic again!
