I had a wonderful holiday and one of the highlights of my stay was the amazing hospitality — especially from SINJORE. He was incredibly friendly, kind, and always made sure we were comfortable. He truly went above and beyond throughout our trip. We loved dancing and chatting with him whenever he was on duty — he always had a smile and positive energy. What made our stay truly unforgettable was the surprise he helped organize for my boyfriend’s birthday. Along with the rest of the staff, they prepared a beautiful romantic table on the beach for us — it was absolutely magical! Throughout our stay, the room was clean and well cared for. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Thank you so much to Sinjore and the whole team at Sansi Kendwa Beach Resort — you truly made our holiday one to remember. We can’t wait to come back!

We ended up staying only one night and they were very kind removing the charge from the second night even though the cancellation period was over. Super clean and comfortable bed and room. We arrived at 4am and the check in was very smooth. They’ve also arranged the taxi with better price than what is offered at the airport. 5min walking to the beach. Next to a market and many shops around. Go here, no doubts 🙃

    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. 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.

    This is by far the best resort in Zanzibar, everything was beyond our expectations. The beach and the views are absolutely incredible, very rich breakfast, extremely delicious food, very clean and luxurious villa and everything is TOP!!! The fire on the beach at sunset is brilliant and we felt very safe, the staff is really doing their best. Your only regret will be when you leave. PS: we really loved yoga with Claudia
