Villa Kiva Boutique Hotel

The hospitality of the hotel is amazing. They provided me everything I need, I had to catch a midnight flight and they even prepare me boxes of food just because I had breakfast included in my package. The vibe here is very chill. Highly recommended to have a stay here. Cons: food in general is abit salty. And choice is less

Villa Kiva, Matemwa is an oasis down a dusty track outside the village. Its beautiful well-maintained garden leads to the main building, where staff are well-trained and attentive. The room we had booked was at the back, overlooking the surrounding scrubland, but when staff realised we weren’t thrilled, they moved us to a much better room facing the sea. There is a huge shady area to catch the breeze, which we found a life-saver as the beach was too hot to sunbathe. Food here is excellent - and not as expensive as the surroundings would suggest. We only stayed 2 days, as we were covering a lot of the island in a 3 week trip, but would be happy spending a couple of weeks holiday here, which is what a lot of people seem to do. The village itself has a few shops, but no ATM. Our only problem was nothing to do with the hotel, just a local hassle-merchant, who threatened violence after shouting ‘no photo’ when I was photographing the palm trees fringing the beach - with no people in the shot

We enjoyed the stay, the friendly staff, cleaniness, yoga class,l! The breakfast was very good too!!
