Chunga Changa is located in Matemwe and features a private pool and pool views. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Free private parking is available and the villa also provides bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. Sabrina, the front of house lady was an absolute angel. She could not have done more for us, her gentle and kind personality was so inviting and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her and she made us feel so welcome. We booked all our trips through the hotel and we are so glad we did as it was much cheaper this way. The trips were hassle free and well organised, we are grateful to the hotel as we definitely would not have done such a fantastic job if we had been planning the trips ourselves! Sabrina organised very well priced taxis for us, and ensured we were well looked after even when out of the hotel. The location is very good, very close to the beach and the sea water pool was fabulous. The food in the villa was absolutely gorgeous and extremely well priced. The other staff members were also just as welcoming and friendly and the rooms were extremely clean and well equipped with all you may need. I could not recommend this villa more than enough, it truly felt like a home away from home. 10/10!!!

With a terrace, the 1-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. Charming and quiet boutique hotel with 2 pools. The hotel is well maintained and extremely clean. The rooms are nicely decorated and the bed is very comfortable. Great water pressure (which is not always the case in the island). Delicious breakfast (I loved the avocado toasts). Only 1 minute away from the beach with nice bars / restaurants around. Also a lot of delicious local restaurants in the village only 10 minutes away by walk. The staff is really friendly and welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this gem ❤️ (On the pictures: Room with pool view / the bar on the beach near the hotel)
