We traveled here with a group of friends and stayed for 3 nights. The room is very nice and clean, i was really impressed, it looks like a 4 star. They have 2 pools and they provide towels. Breakfast is very diverse and dinner was amazing in the first night ( I took the sirloin stake - which was the best stake ever). Service is very good, the prices are higher than in other places. I was surprised because the restaurant manager asked us where we went for dinner one day and he was somehow offended that we went to another restaurant because he prepared a table for us (I don't know why, because we did not announce that we are coming for dinner and did not make any reservation). Before leaving, we ate one more time at their restaurant but the quality of the steak was not the same (full of fat, chewy, one side was done more than the other, weird cut: one side thinner than the other, even the side dish was different).
It looks like a small paradise with an incredible view to the sea, but as soon as you look over the fence you see people walking in pitch dark (they don't have electrical power) and they live in clay houses or even in the street.

Villa Kiva is a lovely hotel overlooking beautiful Matemwe Beach. We stayed for 13 nights and found the staff to be friendly and efficient, the food in the restaurant to be delicious, and the facilities and grounds clean and well maintained. There were two pools that were rarely crowded with lots of lounge chairs by the pools and in the beach area. There is a dive center where you can book dives and snorkel trips with One Ocean. The front desk will also help book you on other excursions around the island. Will definitely stay here again.
