A l’arrivée à Utende surprise : nous devons payer environ 24 dollars par jour et par personne pour rejoindre notre hôtel . Cette somme sert à préserver le parc marin à Utende . Les hôtels généralement en prévienne les clients à la réservation. Cela n’a pas été le cas .Les autres parties de l’île ne sont pas concernées. Notre hôtel , des bungalows situés sur une belle plage de sable fin avec mangrove et une tribu de chauve-souris. L’accès pour le snorkling n’est possible qu’en bateau avec un équipage . Coût 25 dollars . Les fonds marins sont merveilleux sur cette partie de l’île. L’intégralité du staff de l’hôtel est tout simplement parfait et merci à eux . La jeune fille qui sert les repas a tous les codes de la restauration traditionnelle avec des repas simples mais de bonne qualité, Le staff qui s’occupe du snorkling est lui aussi parfait . Outre leur disponibilité et gentillesse ils connaissent parfaitement les spots. Avec cette situation et un staff de cette qualité quel dommage que les bungalows soient si rudimentaires . Nous ne parlons de climatisation qui nous est indifférente mais de la chambre elle -même et de la salle de bains plus que spartiate . Certaines chambres sont sans armoire ni penderie , d’autres en ont mais tellement réduites, avec deux cintres . Une construction récente inachevée gâche la beauté des lieux …..et puis pas de ménage quotidien dans les chambres. Il est aussi à déplorer la mauvaise qualité de la wifi dans les chambres. Elle n’est accessible qu’au bar et restaurant. Ali doit faire des travaux supplémentaires pour mettre à disposition un peu plus de confort et cela sera parfait .

Un bien bel endroit pour se ressourcer et apprécier la vie calme sur l'île de mafia. Vous entrez dans un parc naturel,vous devrez vous acquitter d'une taxe de 23 euros environ par jour et par personne.Donc à prévoir dans votre budget. Pour le reste Ali le gérant se charge de tout organiser pour vous, requin baleine, plongée, location moto où vélo, visites, découverte, plongée, snorkling etc. Tout est gentillesse et bienveillance, profitez de vos vacances dans ce bel endroit. Alors ce n'est pas le grand luxe mais franchement c'est tellement mieux.

Nous avons passé 4 jours au Mafia Beach Bungalows. L'emplacement est super, on est à quelques minutes à pied de Utende avec ses petits restaurants et ses pêcheurs. La plage privée est très propre et bien entretenue, des transats sont à disposition ainsi qu'un kayak ! Le personnel est très agréable, ils font tout pour nous faire plaisir et rendre notre séjour agréable. Ils nous ont proposé et ont très bien organisé les activités. Nous avons fait de la plongée (le club partenaire était vraiment super), la nage avec les requins baleines et du snorkeling + balade et petit déjeuner au blue lagoun! Tout était au top ! Merci à eux! Les petits déjeuners et les repas sont biens. Le Bungalows est spacieux et le lit confortable. Nous recommandons ce petit établissement avec un très bon rapport qualité prix !

Traditional style bungalows with a seating area outside, most with sea view. Really friendly staff and a great place for R&R My only negative is, Breakfast could have a bit more variety. When the tide is in the sea is like a bath. You will need beach shoes as there is mangroves along the shore. Great for diving and snorkeling.

Ce n'est pas le grand luxe mais ce n'est pas ce que nous recherchions. Ali le responsable est très disponible pour aider a règler les petits details ; excursions, test PCR etc.. Les repas sont très bons et variés. Comme nous plongions , ils ont accepté de nous livrer les repas du midi au centre de plongée.

Lovely lovely lovely location right at the beach with cosy little bungalows along the hill. Only a fan in the room but it worked just fine. The beds were comfortable and the mosquitonet was whole. Nice private balconies and the facilities felt fresh. We ate at the restaurant and it was good even though my fish was too small for the price payed. The Sahidi was very friendly and helpful with everything. Breakfast was good and the same as everywhere in tanzania, pancakes, fruit, toast and eggs served with tea or coffee.  What made it great is the location and that it feels well taken care of. What makes it difficult to stay longer is the Marine Park Fee which adds another 23 usd / person / night.
