Our stay at Kendwa Breeze truly felt like visiting a friend! This small, cozy, and tastefully designed hotel has only four rooms, giving it a very warm atmosphere. The owners, Elizabeth and Alex, along with all the staff, are extremely helpful and friendly. One of the highlights of our visit was definitely Scooby, their dog. The breakfast is big and delicious. While there is a bit of a walk to the beach, it’s manageable if you don’t have mobility difficulties. Kendwa Beach is beautiful and unaffected by the tides, so you can swim all day. There are many water sports available, and Elizabeth kindly helped us arrange them in advance. Highly recommended! 🐾

Zuri Zanzibar turned out to be an outstanding choice. The bungalows are beautifully designed, surrounded by lush greenery, and provide a great sense of privacy. The housekeeping was flawless — our room was always spotless. The food was excellent. We tried the chef’s recommendation at Maisha every evening, and it never disappointed. The staff were consistently warm, attentive, and helpful throughout the entire resort. My husband had a stomach issue during our stay, and it was reassuring to know that the hotel has a doctor available on-site until 10 p.m. The beach is absolutely breathtaking, with turquoise water and soft white sand, ideal for long, relaxing walks. The ocean temperature was perfect, and the water was incredibly clear. Surprisingly, the difference between high and low tide is minimal. There are quite a few Masai vendors on the beach, but they were always polite and respectful. We actually enjoyed talking to them and learning more about their culture. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return.

I completely recommend this hotel. The room was spacious, the staff was lovely and they cleaned the rooms every day. One of the cleaners, Hassan was exceptional, every time he cleaned the room he left us “messages” on the bed sheets, written by flowers. The Wi-Fi issue we read in many of the reviews was solved on the premises, they just built devices that strengths the wifi connection on the day of our arrival. It worked well in our room as well. Once our AC did not work properly, but we informed the reception and it was fixed by the time we got back from our dinner. The food in the restaurant was delicious and well prepared. Breakfast was OK, they served a variety of fruit every morning. The beach was fantastic.

The room is really beautiful,big enough for us. Equipment in the room is great,AC and vent was working,bed was good. The whole resort was beautiful and big and looked like a new. Way to the beach is through green yard full of green and lush plants. Beach is so long, you can choose sunbeds(with umbrella) for free, but they are too many so you have little space between them. Beautiful beach,great for walks,great for playing sports and great swimming. Friendly Masais at the beach,we had nice chat with them. Breakfast-they prepare a lot of food for breakfast,but I would say sometimes less is more. In overall it is great choice if you are looking for nice big place full of people. It is worth the money for sure(we had 3 accomodations so we can compare) you have nice big room,with nice garden and perfect beach. Location is great,near are restaurants, markets...
