Fresh fruits to start the day and a wonderful option of meals throughout the day. Location, location, location as they say. Best beach, clear water, no tides and a vibrant atmosphere with loads of different travellers staying at the resort. Loved the beachy decor in public areas and laying out on the daybeds each day. The staff at the beach area are attentive, courteous and very helpful with setting up the sunbeds and tables. It's a family friendly resort, with a volleyball space, pool table and it's right on the beach. There's loads of space at the poolside and resort surrounds. There are plenty of extra activities also available from private companies such as kayaking, jet skis, sunset cruises etc AMAZING staff all round!

This hotel offers an outstanding experience that truly stands out for its exceptional qualities. The combination of a prime location, delightful breakfast, comfortable rooms, hot showers, and attentive staff makes it a top choice for travelers seeking both comfort and convenience. The location of the hotel is ideal, situated close to the beach (less than a 10 minute walk). Breakfast is a highlight of the stay, featuring a generous amount and varied. Each morning there is a fresh juice with a variety of fresh fruits, coffee/tea followed by a hot breakfast that changes each day, all served in a pleasant dining atmosphere (rooftop with an incredible view) that sets a positive tone for the day. The rooms are well-appointed and designed for comfort. They provide a relaxing retreat with spacious layouts. The beds are particularly comfortable, and a mosquito net is provided. The shower experience is equipped with good pressure hot water. Lastly, the staff is commendable for their friendliness and professionalism. From the moment we arrived, the team was friendly and inviting. A special shoutout to Dula who goes above and beyond for his guests. Our flight was rescheduled and Dula connected us with the owner who allowed for us to extend our checkout, which was so very much appreciated. In summary, this hotel excels in various aspects, making it a fantastic choice for anyone visiting the area. With its excellent location, enjoyable breakfast, comfortable accommodations, hot showers, and exceptional service, it guarantees a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

    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. 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.

    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...

    A great budget option in Kendwa. The main thing I understand in Zanzibar is that you need the hotel with the own access to beach, since the roads here is not good. The Mano meet this important rule. Also there is a fish market further in beach. Every day we bought the fresh fish on market and guys in hotel cooked it for us. It was very delicious. It's not a all-inclusive Turkey hotel, but the best option for Africa, if you came here for climate and beach.

    I felt like a part of the family there. All the people running this property were extremely kind. The location is perfect. Beach only 5 min walk and supermarket just behind the corner. The rooftop restaurant of the villa is fantastic. Rooms are spacious with AC and a desk, the view from the terrace is wonderful. I would definitely choose this place again if I came back to this area in Zanzibar.

    Whilst beach front, it is only a 5 mins walk along the coast to enjoy the best beach in Zanzibar so we did most of our swimming there. The rooftop breakfast area had amazing views of sunset and sunrise and amazing value for money. Allowed us to check in early and checkout late and the staff were lovely.
