    Paradise.

    Paradise. Very long and large beach, friendly local people, very calm and quite place. We loved it. Its very save even in the nightwalks on the beach. There are some restaurants, coffee places where you can drink fresh, cocktails or snacks.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

    We went to the Zan View Beach Bar most nights for happy hour and dinner. The beach has much more of a relaxed feel than Nungwi, which seemed more like a place for young people to get drunk whereas Kiwengwa was more families and laid-back properties.

    The resort is on a lovely stretch of a long beach on the east of Zanzibar. It has two lovely pools (one a salt water pool), has security watching the hotel from the beach, preventing hagglers coming up to you, a range of eating and drinking areas, plus nightly shows and daily activities such as water polo and beach volleyball. All set in nice gardens and well designed. The rooms are very good, albeit we moved into a second room that had a slightly strange odour and the door handle to the bathroom fell off! Other than that, very good.

    The staff was very attentive and friendly. The employees at the reception take excellent care to organize all excursions, which has always worked flawlessly. Also special requests have been no problem. We especially liked the pool area with the beautiful sea view. The room was above our expectations. Overall we are very satisfied and would recommend the accommodation to everyone. When we visit Zanzibar again, we will book here again! Thanks again guys for these beatiful days here in Kiwengwa!

    The facilities are great - The gym is large and comprehensive, the pools are great and the shuttle to the beach is efficient with great availability (almost every couple minutes). The hotel looks amazing and well designed, almost every frame of the hotel looks like a Windows wallpaper. The room is well decorated with a nice bathroom. The is a verity of restaurants in the hotel with great food. The staff and service are very welcoming and nice. The hotel is very clean.

    The Melia Zanzibar is a good hotel without direct access to the beach The staff is perfect. But we can't consider this a 5 star hotel. The breakfast is poor. The is no beach access. The decoration is old and not appropriate for a 5 star hotel. We asked an upgrade for the Melia The Level and there you can consider has a 5 star hotel but the food and breakfast once again is too poor for the price. I would return because of the staff.

    We liked that the hotel was very clean and safe, by far the best location we visited in Zanzibar. Our room was very cozy, comfortable bed and nice private patio! The staff is great and very helpful with resort issues and also with organizing transfer! Very good prices for everything and good value. The private beach is well furnished with many swings, perfect to relax and for beautiful photos, especially the swing in the ocean.

    We had a very nice stay in Kiwengwa at the Z-Lodge. The Staff was very nice, food was very good and our room was very nice. There is not much around and the beach is quite small. But in case you enjoy a quiet, relaxing stay, this place is very nice. Of course the hotel also offers tours and transfers. We used a transfer to go on a Quad tour in Kiwengwa which was super nice.

    Great location and set up. Nice staff, good food, small and personablel hotel. Good option for Zanzibar in our opinion as its not too busy a spot, the hotel rooms step right onto the beach and the sea is lovely here for swimming (not always the case given the reef and the tides)
