Mequfi Beach Resort

We stayed at Mequfi Beach Resort for 7 days over December. Our experience was absolutely fantastic. We are a family of 2 adults and a teenage daughter and teenage son. From the moment we landed at the airport in Pemba, our transfer was already waiting. They did not allow us to assist with loading our luggage and made it clear that we are now on holiday. Our driver was considerate and careful and made sure we arrived at the resort safely and undeterred by the bumpy road. He made sure we had some refreshments on ice, which was very welcome, as it was very hot. Upon arrival at the resort, we were met my Sumail, one of the managers of the resort. A cold face cloth was provided, and again, it was very welcome. We got a quick tour of the resort and amenities before meeting our luggage in our rooms. The staff at Mequfi is a real asset, and nothing was too much trouble for them. At the poolside, we were given towels, and later, fresh towels, without asking. Ordering from the bar was made easy by the efficient staff who were concerned if we did not have a glass in our hand. As for the food, Chef Shibu introduced himself at the first meal, and was around at each meal to get our feedback. Each meal had chicken, pasta, beef/lamb, fresh seafood, vegetables, pizza, a variety of breads and soup. Desserts were also well prepared and a real treat. Whether you are vegetarian, vegan or love meat, you are accommodated at each meal. The waiters are exceptionally well trained and the attention to detail is refreshing. As for housekeeping, the gentleman who attended to our room basically gave it a spring cleaning every morning. Again, the attention to detail makes our stay so memorable and the small things that are done and attended to, reveals a culture of guest appreciation and pride in the resort. I was initially concerned that a lodge, so far from the city, could produce a proper holiday but I was pleasantly surprised. I have been to many resorts on various islands, and our Mequfi experience is right up there with the best. Well done to the management and ALL staff from Mequfi Beach resort. Definitely a 5 star resort and we will definitely be back soon.

Wow! What a gem! Our first Moz holiday, and so glad we landed up at this resort. Thank you Sumail, Shibu and the rest of the team!! You all made this a holiday to remember! Clean, food for days, top service! Plus the weather couldn't have been more perfect, we will be back!

This really is a lovely place in one of the most remote areas in Africa. Everything is excellent quality. I think the only down side for me is that for such an expensive destination its not one of the most beautiful places near Pemba. Murrebue beach is close by and nicer. The area around the pool as well needs more shade, more palm trees, everything looks like it was bulldozed recently, and then built just now. Its a lovely escape from Pemba but I dont think I would be happy to have travelled a long way to get here.

Valiant effort from the Diamond team! Enjoyed a 5 day stay - great for family beach getaway. Enough to keep everyone busy for at least 7 days. Certainly some room for improvement to get back to offering the 5 star experience the resort is renowned for but enough positives for a memorable stay. Pristine beach and great water sport offerings for the location. Perfect place to relax and unwind.

Foi um fim de semana fantástico. As casas são absolutamente maravilhosas. Encantam logo na chegada. O acolhimento dos funcionários foi também nota 5. Pudemos dizer que esperávamos um todo incluído bem mais fraco e ficamos bastante surpreendidos. Tinha bastante escolha para o nosso bebé e o pequeno almoço era bastante completo. A limpeza, a manutenção diária, a praia, em fim tudo foi top. Aconselhamos mesmo e queremos voltar. Obrigado por estes dias espetaculares
