Kendwa Crystal Coast Hotel, hotel in Kendwa

Set in Kendwa, 400 metres from Kendwa Beach, Kendwa Crystal Coast Hotel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

I had a great experience in this hotel. The hotel itself is very new, and you can see that in nicely decorated spacious room with quality furnitures and lots of shelves and racks that are more than enough to store your extra stuff. Room was very clean, housekeeping was professional during my stay. Breakfast was great, wifi was strong enough to browse and check your emails. They even have a generator for power outages that are very common in Kendwa. 10 min walk to beach, which is not big deal, you even find a chance to grab a few groceries at a local store on your way back to hotel. Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and always available to ask anything. They even let me check out after 5pm in my last day which made my day so easy as my flight was late in night. I will definitely book Crystal Coast again in my next visit to Kendwa.

    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!

    Very large property with amenities such as volleyball playground. Staff was brilliant. Many beach beds to choose from. European room standards - very good ventilation, isolating materials. I’ve stayed in a couple other hotels in Zanzibar for 100$ a night which looked more authentic, more African, but after a while one could feel a humid and conversations of neighbours. That was only hotel I slept well. That’s nice to see wooden huts on the beach, not necessarily staying in overnight 😇

    An incredible, beautiful place with marvellous people. The best breakfast in Zanzibar, very varied and high quality. Very good for spending time and relaxing as much as possible in a cosy atmosphere. Special thanks to Elisabeth and Alex for all their care and availability.

    Gold Zanzibar Beach hotel is a five star hotel. The room was very big and the food was very good. The whole inclusive formula was worth it. It has a good size swimming pool and a nice beach with lounge chairs.

    The property seems new and rooms are bright, modern, and clean. It's good value for money, and a short walk to the beach. It had the nicest rooms of anywhere I stayed in Zanzibar.
