I don't have enough words to describe how kind the host and staff were. They were always helpful and there when we needed them. One day when we were going on an early morning excursion, they came out to meet us and prepared us a takeaway breakfast, even though it was 6:30am. It was a lovely gesture and a big thank them! The hotel has a beautiful garden and each room has its own terrace in front of the door. Room and bathroom are big and have enough space. Hotel is located 10 minutes walk from the most beautiful beach of Kendwa. Our room was cleaned every day and the towels were changed. Also, the hotel has its own night watchman, so you can feel safe and sleep peacefully. I have only one advice for them. It wolud be nice if they included another option in the breakfast offer besides eggs, because its too much to eat eggs 10 days in a row. Overall, we are very satisfied with the accommodation and would recommend it to everyone as it will feel like home.

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...

Every single member of staff was excellent and attentive! My room was cleaned daily and to a good standard. I had an amazing sea facing room and enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony when it was raining (rainy season). The sunbeds were comfortable and charging stations were right beside them. Food was good, though it could do with a little more seasoning. Still, there was variety to choose from.

Very nice little hotel with a short 5–10 min walk from the beach. The view was amazing, especially from the top floor where they have their restaurant. The breakfast was generous and the restaurant works even in the evening with decent food. The stuff was very polite and always smiling and helpful . The rooms have air condition which is a plus. Try to ask for a room on the higher floor if you want to enjoy the views.

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to...

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Great location on the beach, very nice and friendly staff, large rooms, beautiful grounds with many coconut palms Unfortunately, there is a lot of small plastic waste and cigarette butts on the beach near the beach chairs. Noise, pollution and danger from reckless jet ski drivers. DANGEROUS & Pollution
