    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!

    Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach!

    Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach! They welcome you with a delicious fresh tropical juice! It is nice to see local people and fishermen living just next door. In the other hand thou, the front sea is full of boats that make swimming a bit complicated. The staff is very kind. Rooms are sober but clean and furnitures are nicely wooden. Breakfast is in range(no buffet, no choice) but good. Very much recommended place. I would definitely return there.

    This place is a hidden gem! We totally enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to be back! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The hotel's restaurant offered delicious food and the menu was so diverse that we didn't have to look elsewhere for food options. The only other place recommended to us for food was the Lebanese Cuisine, which is also owned by Sunseabar Beach Hotel. If you are planning a trip to Zanzibar, you have to try this place. Ask for the manager, Al Pacino, he'll take care of you!

    We booked the private jacuzzi room which was right outside our room. Very clean, comfy beds. We absolutely loved it, we also had sun beds and it was super relaxing. You can tell the owner takes pride in the hotel, paying attention to detail. The staff are helpful and very kind. The hotel is on the beach, and we could access it from our pool. There was an iron in the room too. The breakfast was also nice. We paid extra for lunch and dinner and it was the best food I’ve had in Zanzibar!

    The staff was so helpful, we arrived at midnight and they were waiting for us to greet us and show us the amenities offered by the hotel. The management went above and beyond to make sure we spent a lovely vacation. The rooms were clean, the food was top notch, and the view was AMAZING!! You cannot beat the location of Lazy Beach hotel, especially the breathtaking views from the rooftop restaurant.

    Thank you to the owners Daniela and Carlo for our beautiful holiday in Kendwa, Zanzibar. The staff was also very nice with us. Everything was good: the breakfast, the room, the terrace. Location is close to the beach and close to local restaurants and shops. Next time me and my boyfriend will come here again for sure. Thank you and keep up the good work! 😊

    The view is to die for. To sit in your balcony and watch the sunset makes the place worth it. It's location is decent a 3min walk to the beach and a minute away from Kendwa rocks. The bed was really comfortable and the room was clean. The staff member (local) at the restaurant was really nice. The building is new and clean.

    This is the best hotel in Zanzibar : we stayed in 5 different hotels during our stay in Tanzania and this one is undoubtedly the best. The location of the hotel is beautiful, the view is great, and the staff is top-notch. The food is excellent, especially the seafood pasta, a delight. I recommend this hotel 1000%

    Kendwa beach is very nice and the hotel is located directly at the beach near Kendwa Rocks. Good restaurants are nearby. As there is no swimming area, everybody must swim between the boats, which come close and also directly to the beach. This is quite dangerous.
