We took the deluxe rooms which are located right at the beach. This is the low peak season so hotel was practically empty except for us and 2 other guests. Rooms are clean, beach is amazing with an amazing view of the sunset. Food was also good but pricy.

Loved the access to the beach and cute rooms with AC. Bed was comfy and food also good while being reasonable priced. Staff were friendly and welcoming, sorting taxi transfers for us and offering recommendations.

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.

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.

Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday.
Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday.
This is the only area bot effected by tides.
The beach is wonderful and offers great places to eat. Kendwa rocks offers a great BBQ with live entertainment on Saturdays.
This Hotel was good for 3 reasons:
* Mustafa - what an absolutely nice host and excellent manager. He went above and beyond and was available via whatsapp to answer questions about literally everything. Great guy, Thank you, Mustafa.
* Air Conditioning - Zanzibar is hot. HOT! And the much need air conditioning is there for you. It is very powerful and had no outages. What a blessing.
* Security - I felt rather safe inside the building.
we really enjoyed our time at Sansi Kendwa beach resort. The staff were so friendly and made an amazing family and fun atmosphere - it was impossible to not be in a good mood around them. Mohammed from the reception went the extra mile to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable at possible. We really enjoyed the food and activities. We would love to come back and definitely recommend it if you visit Zanzibar! Thank you for everything!
The serenity Kendwa offered was excellent. I relaxed like never before. Kendwa is tucked away from the hustle and bustle... offering a gentle breeze off the ocean. You're easily within walking distance to the beach.
The staff included Bertha (excellent chef), Aminieli (concierge) and host/proprietor Carlos really went out of their way to make one feel at home. Much love to the entire crew!
Everything is simply perfect about this accommodation: location is great, stuff is very welcome and supportive, clean in the room and at the beach, great security all over the hotel (rooms, territory and coastline), very beautiful everywhere and food is amazing 🤩
If you will see the deal with half board, don’t hesitate, just take it!
This place is like a paradise. The service attitude and the team spirit of the hotel staff is extraordinary. They read our wishes from our lips. We travel a lot. But this was by far the best 5-Star-Hotel we ever visited. The rooms, the beach, the food, the facilities, the music in the evening: All is very high standard and exclusive.
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.
This is my 2nd time in Kendwa Rocks. Hotel has located at one of the best location of Zanzibar. Long and perfect beach, much beautiful than any others in Nungwi. Best place to stay and relax. Sea water pool and pool bar also is a good activity. Rooms are clean.
The hotel is located near the sea.
The private beach described in the offer is only a few ruined beds with the remains of canopies.
The hotel is clean, the service is very nice.
Breakfast at a nearby restaurant.
Frequent power outages.
A very well organized hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, cozy decorated and wonderful facilities. Definitely worth it and recommended for everyone visiting Kendwa, and Zanzibar overall, aiming for a peaceful and chilled vacations!
The best part of this hotel as for many hotels on the Island of Zanzibar is it's staff. These people realy tried their best to make our stay a happy one. A big thank you to Grace, Farique, Karim and Jimmy the repairman.
Excelent location, best beach în Zanzibar.
Room was big, close to the beach, clean and cosy ( but old furniture ). With HB included, dinner is a la carte ; good and enough food , but you have only few choices.
Amazing people, very helpful and nice. The location is perfect and the apartment was supernice with a lot of space and ok beds. For budget accomodation, this was our best experience on Zanzibar!
Very cute hotel in Kendwa, very clean and well managed. Their restaurant offers excellent pizzas and fresh pasta. Would 100% recommend staying there or even go just for their restaurant!
- Location - right by Kendwa beach, the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar
- Friendly staff including the owner
- Value for money
- Nice breakfast/restaurant view
