Honestly the only thing I liked about this property was the staff at the front desk. They were nice and I never fail to appreciate good hospitality. Oh another thing is the location. If you want good access to water sports in Zanzibar, this place is good.

The location of this resort is amazing.
There’s life here comparing to other resort a little far from kendwa area.
The water in the beach is just right there as soon as you step out of the room not far.
Our stay was made memorable by Peter.
He was attentive to our needs. Ever warm and approachable.
He went out of his way to prepare a surprise romantic dinner which was so beautiful. We were short of words, indeed pleasantly surprised.
We were treated so well all through our stay.

In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location.
In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location. However, there were some issues to address: The breakfast had a good variety of food, but unfortunately, warm items were cold. When I requested my sausages to be reheated, they were returned cold, accompanied by a surprised question about wanting them hot. It would be better if the staff anticipated the preference for warm breakfast items. The bed was so uncomfortable, causing back pain every morning. I tried all sides of mattress, and anyways there was a pit regardless of the position. This might be specific to only my bed, but it needs attention. The restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices, and the waiters speaks good English and are polite ( except trainees) Cleanless! Room was clean and tide, but there were several diferent bugs around, but its Africa, you just need to ask to spray your room for bugs (i asked but they never did) and you need to ask for wc paper and ask for clean towels. Water pression in the shower and hot water was very good. Unfortunately AC didnt wor for last 2 nights. I guess a gas just finished, but noone came to check on it, just excuses about low voltage. Well, when voltage was low even fridge was not working, bet when voltage restored AC and fridge worked excellent. Water got frozen in the fridge in 1h - so thats not a low voltage at all. Despite the issues, I tought I would consider to come back, but after last 2 nights struggles, I doubt about it. Particularly I would suggest a room with a sea view and small private pool, keeping in mind that perfection may not exist in every aspect, especially in a place like Zanzibar.

The internet is going to tell you Kendwa has the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar....it has not....not at all....yes, the beach is nice and wide and white.....but there is no vegetation at all, it's full of sunbeds and umbrellas from the resorts/hotels....way to many traders and not much to offer than going up and down, only to then retreat to your hotel or some place with shade....if you come here for drinks or a party, fine, but don't waste all of your vacation here, when there are many other cheaper and more beautiful places on the island...

Kendwa beach in its self is one of the best I have been too and I have been a regular beach traveller worldwide for the last 40 years. The only advice I would suggest would be to vet the hotel thoroughly as sunseabar was not upto standard it advertised. Go out into local restaurants we tried 4 different ones all were superb so far superior to the hotel

Serene grounds, welcoming staff and very courteous to clientele. Food was good (seafood) and the rooms are superb ( got an ocean view facing the tennis court. Need more African entertainment for guests at night though!

Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach!
Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach! They welcome you with a delicious fresh tropical juice! It is nice to see local people and fishermen living just next door. In the other hand thou, the front sea is full of boats that make swimming a bit complicated. The staff is very kind. Rooms are sober but clean and furnitures are nicely wooden. Breakfast is in range(no buffet, no choice) but good. Very much recommended place. I would definitely return there.AriannaItaly - 10Scored 10

- From $54 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 127 reviewsThe place was for us, family with two small children, a little gem. Do not let the alley leading to the door fool you. It is right on the beach, and quiet. Clean and nice rooms with big windows. We were welcomed with fresh juice. Five minutes walk to the very crowded area by Kendwa Rocks- where the very best part of the beach is. The chef served the best fish we've had during our four week stay in Zanzibar, also a tasty breakfast. He surprised us with a small squid dish on the side. When we go back we will definitely stay here.Birkeland GaltelandNorway

- From $149.25 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 159 reviewsGood location, though access is not immediate. They have a partnership with Kendwa Rocks Hotel and for 20 USD you can enjoy their pool and beach sunbeads. The restaurant is very good. Great food with normal price range. Good breakfast as well. They are worried about the quality of the stay and ask for feedback at the moment, which gives guests the opportunity to communicate if something is not going so well and they try to improve / meet your needs, which happened to us.SaraPortugal
