We went to Matemo Resort for our honeymoon in November. Jason, Karen and the Matemo team ensured that our every need was met in a unassuming and easy manner. We did 4 amazing dives, with the one off Ibo Island being the most memorable. The fish life is abundant, the coral breathtaking and the water so warm. The rooms are... More

Matemo is the picture perfect beach holiday. The accommodation is luxurious, with well furnished rooms, right on the shoreline. The food is a 3 couse meal, with 2selections for the mains. The food is very well prepared and very tasty. Free wifi in the common area, that is always a plus point in any resort. The scuba diving is very... More

I visited Matemo with my husband, I will remember this as the experience of a lifetime. We had excellent weather and the clear blue ocean all around the island was perfect for swimming. Our beach chalet was not even 10m from the ocean, and we spend most mornings in the sea. We also went on a sundowner cruise on a... More

We stayed here as a group of 19 for three nights. The setting is paradise with beautiful beaches on your doorstep and the turquoise ocean beyond. We all had so much fun and really didn't want to leave. The diving was great, as was the deep sea fishing and I think we all over the three days went for a... More

This is our kind of holiday. In the middle of nowhere this beautiful island is rustic and upretentious. The food fabulous, though I got a bit tired of prawns and lobster, but they always had an alternative that was just as good! The staff were simply fantastic and looked after our every need wherever possible. However it was a little... More
