"Pros: The location was exactly what we needed after a safari experience on the main land. We were able to fully lay back and relax. The famous ‘The Rock’ restaurant was a short walk away from us (on the beach front). Pingwe beach is a short drive from Paje (known for water sports)." ~Gurpreet

"Pros: What can I say that others haven't already said?! Staying at the Matlai Hotel is an absolute dream, I would rate it in the top 5 places I have stayed in the world, a truly personalised experience. From the exceptional service provided by the butlers, to the utter beauty of the property, the landscaping, the huge rooms and bathrooms, the stunning beach, the sunrise views, and the food, to the private cinema room, the housekeeping service, the tranquility and peace, it is almost indescribable. I cried the night before I left, if you have a chance to stay here, take it, it was truly magical. I don't believe there is anywhere else on the island to compare to this, we left feeling like they were our family, and our every wish was provided for and our dreams came true. Cons: Nothing. Everything was perfect, I challenge anyone to find anything negative about the Matlai Hotel." ~Carrie
