Delicious Dining Experience

From the moment I sat down at the restaurant, I was impressed by the variety and quality of the food. Every dish was packed with flavor, especially the grilled King prawns with garlic butter sauce, which I ordered multiple times during my stay. It’s hard to find such delectable options at a boutique hotel, and Mwezi certainly exceeded expectations!

Relaxing Spa Services

I indulged in one of the massages offered at the resort and it was absolutely divine. Salama, the masseuse, provided one of the best massages I've ever had, leaving me completely relaxed and rejuvenated. The spa area was also serene, adding to the overall experience.

Charming Accommodations

My stay in the Moon Bungalow was nothing short of magical. The room was airy and spacious, complete with beautiful decor and a unique stone basin for rinsing sand off my feet before entering. I felt right at home every time I returned from my adventures.

Great Evening Relaxation

I thoroughly enjoyed unwinding by the pool in the evenings while listening to soft loungemusic. The atmosphere was perfect for relaxation, and the pool bar was a nice spot to grab a drink. I loved that the resort offered a cozy library right next to the lounge area for quiet reading sessions.

Our stay at Mwezi was truly memorable, set in a beautiful location right by the beach, with stylish and spacious rooms. The friendly staff went out of their way to ensure we felt welcome and comfortable. Dining was excellent, but we did notice that the pool bar wasn't always staffed, leading to occasional wait times for drinks. Overall, it offered great value for our family vacation, though the taxi charges seemed a bit excessive.

Our stay at Mwezi Laluna Resort was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were beautifully designed and very comfortable, plus the pool area was an absolute dream. However, the dining experience fell short with bland menus and slow service, making it less enjoyable overall. The beach location is stunning, but I did find myself needing to seek better dining options offsite to fully enjoy my stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were beautifully decorated and the pool was nice, the customer service was disappointing, and I faced issues with my booking. The location was somewhat secluded, making it hard to get around without relying on taxis or the hotel’s organized trips. Overall, it could use some improvements in service and reliability.

Rooms

The rooms were nicely decorated, but the beds were uncomfortably hard, making it hard to get a good night's sleep.

I encountered issues with billing and customer service. At first, the staff was nice, but they became rude when I raised an issue about incorrect charges.

Location

The hotel is in a quiet location, but it's not ideal for those wanting to explore on their own since you're quite dependent on taxis or hotel-organized excursions.

I had a fantastic experience at Mwezi, which completely exceeded my expectations considering the price. The apartment-style rooms were cozy, and the kitchen was a wonderful addition for cooking. The pool was the best I've seen on the island, and the food was genuinely delicious. On the downside, the apartments can get quite hot during the midday sun, and the AC struggled to keep up, but the friendly team and great Wi-Fi made up for it.

Staying at Mwezi Boutique Resort was an unforgettable experience with luxurious beachfront rooms and exceptional dining options. The spa and wellness facilities were perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. However, there were some hiccups with taxi prices and a bit of noise from nearby celebrations, which might detract from the overall tranquility sought by some guests.
