The rooms were cleaned well, the poster bed was made up in the evenings. The hotel is located on the far end of Kendwa beach, so can provide quiet atmosphere

I have stayed before a year ago, and stayed in the forest room this time, which was renovated and so fresh and slick inside. The beach is amazing at low and high tide, and those magical sunsets. The staff down in the restaurant and bar are amazing so attentive and friendly and that bar on the beach is lovely.

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.
We loved staying here. You get to enjoy one of the nicest beaches in the world (just a 5 minute walk away) at an incredible value. The room was simple but very comfortable and clean. The owner was very friendly and quickly responsive when we had a problem with the toilet. She gave great local recommendations too. The on site breakfast was delicious—including fresh fruit, juice, eggs, and pastries. Would recommend my family and friends to stay here if they visit Zanzibar!
- huge villas with two private pools and a big washroom
overlooking the bay
- 50 acres full of tropical plants with only 15 villas make the place very intimate
- the food is the best probably in the whole Zanzibar..the chef prepares everyday a new menu both for lunch and dinner
- the staff is extremely kind and helpful. You will be assigned a private butler who will fulfill all
your desires
- private beach with huge sunbeds and kayaks to use
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!
We stayed at Gold Zanzibar for 3 nights. It is a beautiful resort in an amazing location right on Kendwa beach. The food was incredible and the buffets had so many options. The pool was nice and there was also a spa that had a great deal on some of their treatments. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was lovely, with beautiful balcony views.
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.
The place is nice clean and very peaceful I definitely enjoyed the stay also sophia is very nice and helpful we wanted an early breakfast she made it for us I strongly recommend,, the location also very close to the beach there is many supermarkets near to the hotel and also restaurant,, definitely happy 😍
The beach was nice, but a little bit dirty. The sea is near from the hotel and you can swim there during all day, so it’s perfect. It’s not normal on Zanzibar. this is a huge advantage. The breakfast and dinner are on the beach. About 60 meters from the hotel. Swimming pool is also on the beach.
It was the hotel that served the best breakfast I have seen in Zanzibar so far. Both the food and drinks were delicious. The rooms were small but clean and useful. The air conditioner was working smoothly. You can fill your water from the water dispenser near your room
The attached restaurant was excellent and the vibes were very nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. Management let me change my hotel room for free because the Wi-Fi access was non existent in the first room.
in general all is excellent , the hotel located on the best beach in Zanzibar , service was good and food was delicious , big resort , nice place to relax , lovely breakfast and friendly staff .
Very good location on kendwa rocks hotel beach with the opportunity to enjoy the resort for 10 USD / day.
Good breakfast and meals.
Rooms are simple but confortable bed.
Nice view
