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.

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 hoteljohnUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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.AriannaItaly - 10Scored 10

- 8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 525 reviewsThis resort is amazing. In our whole zanzibar trip this was the best resort that we stayed in. Apart from amazing facilities and space best part about this resort is their warm hospitality and accommodating need of their guest. They provided us not only with early check in but also arranged a room for us even after check out time to have a quick bath after our snorkeling trip. Matthew and Ahmed were absolutely amazing in their job. Loved our stay and surely going to recommend to friends and familyTitasIndia
- From £121.14 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 1,057 reviewsThe hotel is at the best beach location. Long walk on the beach in front of many other hotels is possible unlike at other parts of Zanzibar. Many cute little local shops are near just a minute away. All kinds of fantastic water activities and boat tours are right in front of the hotel. The beach is clean and can swim any time, unlike in other areas where you have to wait for high tide not to hurt yourself on the corals. The hotel pool is also very pleasant.

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!Jdarc58United States
