Consiglio vivamente i bungalow deluxe vicinissimi alla meravigliosa spiaggia di Kendwa,che in questo punto ha la giusta larghezza x raggiungere comodamente il mare.I bungalow sono nuovi enormi e il letto enorme.Cibo vario ed eccellente anche per una clientela italiana.

Great place to stay. Service at the bar was great. The young men who assist with the baggage were awesome and very helpful.

Service un peu approximatif, mais chambre très propre, spacieuse, quelques coupures de courant le soir mais je ne sais pas à quoi cela était dû. La wifi extrement nulle. Les repas du soir et petit dej très corrects. Une bonne expérience, la plage est magnifique, transats pour tout le monde.

Kendwa Sunset is very well located by a beautiful beach. Hotel is well kept and with a cosy feel. Green garden feel in first part of the hotel and beach vibe at the bungalows located as an extended part of the beach. Room was good with nice beds, clean and with nice size bathroom. Beach area is large with more space between chairs than many other hotels. Pool had great clear view over the beach and ocean. All this would give a 9-10 rating. However service was clearly the worst we experienced among the 5 places we visited in Zanzibar. Seemed to be a mix of Language challenges, care and pure skills. So bring a lot of patience and Hakuna Matata in order for it not to destroy your experience. During 4 days (ehere we also ate elsewhere) we experienced a meal that did not arrive until we were ready to pay, rarely being able to order what we preferred (more than other places) but the challenge was not so much ‘sold out/not in stock’ but lack of knowledge among servants on what was available so ordering was a cumbersome and time consuming process, incorrect order when food arrived and attempt to make us order things we did not want ‘because we have already put x in the system so could you not have y instead’. Likewise for beach towels where ‘sold out/not available right now and not able to find out when we could get a towel or if we could use our rooms towels instead until we went to the reception. However the day the little lady in the restaurant was in, all went smooth 😀

I absolutely loved my stay. It was spacious with beautiful palm trees at the lower area where my room was. English breakfast was served and the food orders took max 30 minutes. It was quiet, serene and the beach beds were not as crowded as the neighboring hotels. It has the best beach area that forms a beautiful pool during the high tide and it was never crowded. Staff were very helpful and payments were paid with card or cash in USD and TZS conveniently. WiFi was a bit weak in the room but overall was accessible across the property and beach area. The room was big enough with all amenities. Pictures don’t do justice to this beautiful and leafy hotel. Will definitely return!

We had a great holiday, thank you to all friendly and good people at Kendwa. This beach hotel Is a little paradise. The restaurant is at the beach- you dine and watch the waves and boats. The beach life is colorful and interesting; acrobats perform, people passing by, also some sellers but everybody is respectful, without pressure! The days at the beach were peaceful and nice. The area of Kendwa Hotel is great, Sand and many Palm trees. Very peaceful and clean place. Wifi mainly in the restaurant area.Most delicious is the food. We had half board and got a buffet dinner quite many times. The food was really delicious. People from other hotels came for dinner to Kendwa. The staff is always helpful- Zena and her team: asante sana! We highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed in one of the bungalows close to the beach, which I would highly recommend. The rooms up near the reception would require walking a steep set of stairs each time you wanted to use the pool, beach, bar or restaurant. Our bungalow was very nice with a front porch to sit on. The front desk staff was helpful with arranging boat tours and taxis. The beach in front of the resort is beautiful and very swimmable. There are great shaded chairs and beds to use while lounging near the beach. The swimming pool was large enough, but could use better maintenance. Many tiles are missing and the stairs do not have a handrail. I slipped on the slippery tiled steps and injured my head and leg.

Oj vilket ställe! Vilken service nere på stranden och i restaurangen. Läget är perfekt, stranden är magisk. Det enda vi hade nån synpunkt på var att kanske lite mer kryddning i maten (och lite för stora portioner), samt att de låter gäster ”paxa” solstolar en halv dag innan dom kommer och nyttjar dom. Samt att wifi är väldigt svajigt. Annars är vi så nöjda att vi faktiskt ändrade om vårt sista hotell och ska bo vår sista natt hos dom igen. Magiskt!

Minha experiencia foi muito boa. O pessoal do Staff eram excelentes, a Xenia dos restaurantes, do Zacharia e o Jackson foram muito atenciosos, merecem nota 10! Estào de parabéns pelo trabalho. A única coisa que recomendaria seria melhorar a qualidade do WIFI do hotel, que pudesse ser acessado também de dentro dos quartos.

The upper unit was very spacious, comfortable and spotless. The management and staff are very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is good and the others meals were very good including great pizza. We extended our stay as we liked it so much. Unfortunately, the beach (all hotels) has a litter problem.

This hotel has large clean rooms right on the best beach in the island. Other hotels are far from the sea but this one has the best sunbeds in town with amazing views and an awesome non-expensive bar. Staff super friendly. No WI-Fi in rooms, but u got it at the beach/bar area. We def recommend it!
