Hotels in Kendwa

Already saving up to return. I LOVED everything, Rebecca at the buffet restaurant and the Indian manager were exceptionally good to me.

We LOVEDDDDDD (!!!!!!!) it here!! So much so that we decided to book twice in the same vacation. We hadn't booked anything for the last part of our honeymoon, and we decided to come back to end our honeymoon here. The service is amazing, the staff is extremely friendly (genuine, not the fake friendliness), the rooms are amazing and the beach is soo clean and beautiful. The food is also amazing!! Which...

Amazing hotel to stay. Being an avid traveller, I can say this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed. The food is exceptional in quality and quantity. The staff are very friendly and cater to all needs. Such a lovely place to be to relax and enjoy the all-inclusive vibes. All staff are smiling and show so much care towards you. We were specially looked after by Abdallah who mostly works in...

We stayed in both Jumbo and Palace. We checked into the hotel at night, they gave us a room near the reception (the reception is more modest compared to Jumbo). Our room was 300 and was terribly far from the restaurant and activities, it was hard to walk up the hill. But you could ask to take you by buggy. In the first hours of our stay, I seemed to like Palace less, but then I realized its specialty...

It is a bit pricey but the service and food very good. It is an all inclusive resort and everything is free. They have a bar and service for 24 hours. They have multiple restaurants and one of their restaurant open three times a day and there is another restaurant that opens till late. You can use RIU Jambo resort facilities. There are about four or five restaurants open for dinner time but to get...

Friendly staff, hotel located on a beautiful beach but no restaurants, shops around. Often power cuts during the day.

I traveled alone after a safari and was looking for something authentic with a beachy atmosphere. I think I found it at this hotel. The staff was very attentive, especially Mukrim and Mariam. The hotel had everything you need for a great beach experience: the restaurant, the menu, the beach service, the drinks, and the ambiance at sunset. The only thing I didn't like, but I think it's the same everywhere...

Would do it a 100 times more everything is perfect , i loved the experience!

The hotel is clearly overpriced, tried to set the checkout time to 10.00 instead of the 10.30, as it was noticed on Trip.com

I really enjoyed my stay at Kendwa Rocks Hotel. The beach, the view, and the sunset were absolutely beautiful. My room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. It’s the perfect place to relax and have a good time. If I come back to Zanzibar, I’d definitely stay here again."

Fantastic resort right on the beach. Very clean comfy rooms and great location. Has a nice holiday vibe

The workers and personnel, including the security staff, were customer friendly and ready to listen and assist you with any problems you may have.

Nice location. The rooms were a bit old and the sunbeds also. There were only a few sunbeds that actually reclined, so most of them were a bit uncomfortable. The Christmas buffet was good and the breakfast too, but it was missing the bacon. The pool when we were there had a problem so the water was kind of green. I don’t know if it was just bad luck but the beach was a bit windy and the sea was not...

This hotel is okay for a one-night stay, but the rooms are uncomfortable. The power constantly goes out, meaning you could be left without AC and water at night. The toilet tank wouldn't even fill up. Even though the hotel is right on the waterfront, you can't swim because there are so many boats directly in front of it.

For the price, this is a good hotel. It's obviously not new, just a few touches of paint, but overall, its cleanliness and superb location make up for any shortcomings. The staff is polite and helpful. The only downside is the girls who clean the rooms are very loud and clumsy. You can hear them well, but at 7am they start laughing loudly, chatting, and moving furniture after the guests in the next...

Sunset Kendwa was fantastic. The pasta, pizza, and chicken Caesar salad were all delicious, and the smoothie was super refreshing. They offer a day-use option at a great price, which you can use in the restaurant—totally worth it. The beach was gorgeous, and the place has a nice view and a relaxing vibe. Definitely recommended! 👌🏼

The beach is stunning, I had such a lovely afternoon with my family. It was amazing. We played beach football, beach horse riding and ride on jet ski. Margarita pizza was delicious, really enjoyed our lunch. Stuff were helpful.I would highly recommend the place.

Sunset Kendwa Beach Hotel was a great choice. The location and beaches were fantastic, providing a beautiful and relaxing setting. The services were good, and the food was excellent, enhancing the overall experience. Recommended by a friend who stayed there last December, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Highly recommend!

I can say it's the best hotel in Zanzibar

Zuri is not just a resort, it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave! This was our third stay at this resort. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family, and that is entirely down to the incredible people who run this place. Hotel Manager Romano sets the tone for everything. His warmth, attention to detail, and the genuine care he puts into our stay is shown in...

It’s with a heavy heart that we leave tomorrow. Zuri Zanzibar is quite simply one of the most special places we have ever had the privilege of staying. The location is stunning — and the days here have a beautiful rhythm to them. Mornings begin with fantastic yoga, the perfect way to ease into the day, before the sundowners on the beach each evening bring everything full circle. The evening entertainment...

Beautiful hotel, all the facilities are very good, but the beach access is the best part—plenty of space. The staff is super friendly.

Pros - Beautiful bungalow room & pool & nice beach. Cons- customer service for the wait staff & room service extremely slow. We would ask for a simple thing for the room & it would never come or take a few hours to be delivered like water or an iron. Food at the only beach grill the Bahari Beach Grill pretty terrible. Lastly, they say it’s a private beach but they allow others to still sit and take...

We absolutely loved our stay at Zuri Zanzibar. The bungalows were a wonderful surprise — beautifully designed, set in the middle of lush greenery, and offering great privacy. The housekeeping was excellent, and everything was always spotless. The food was also fantastic; we dined at Maisha every night and the chef’s daily suggestions were consistently amazing. The staff were friendly, warm and...

We had an absolutely wonderful experience, and a big part of it was thanks to the amazing team. Director Francesco runs everything with great professionalism, passion, and attention to detail. You can really feel his leadership in the smooth organization and welcoming atmosphere. A special mention goes to the animators Ugo, Nino, and Ercole — they were simply fantastic! Always energetic, friendly,...

Hotel Palumbo Waves, definitely not a 4 star hotel, unsatisfactory towels, the bathroom only with 2 small shampoos, the rooms without a TV (you pay €200 and they give you a room with a TV) the beach is far away, but they have a hotel shuttle service! The positive things; The manager very friendly and helpful. The reception guys always smiling and available. All the staff, waiters, cleaning ladies,...

I had a really good time, incredible staff.. Nino, Il Biondo, Ultimo and Biaggio the strongest and nicest entertainers, they love their job and know how to make you laugh. Piccolino the sweetest and nicest of all, organizes TOP excursions. The staff is very kind and above all very good at welcoming their customers. The food is GODLY. There will be no shortage of opportunities to come back. Excellent...

I stayed at this resort for New Year's Eve, a week. Aside from the structure itself, very clean and the varied and excellent food, I was amazed by the people (so affectionate that I shed a few tears when I left): real people, clean, cheerful, always available and attentive (for example, I am gluten intolerant and the chefs every evening, when the situation arises, were careful to tell me what I could...

I was in this resort during Christmas 2024 with my partner and it was wonderful. The essential location is very characteristic, contained in size as we like it. You eat very well and the staff is very kind and prepared. Too bad there is no Hard all inclusive and therefore alcohol must be paid for. The transfer to the beach via vans (Lalla Lalla) is very nice and in a few minutes passing through a typical...

In order: Welcome 10 and praise. Smiling, serene staff, beautiful visual impact. Large, very clean room, no problems ever encountered. Breakfast and dinner in the facility, wide choice, homely flavors, not too much but not too little either. Just right. If you expect ham in the morning, just wait. We are in Africa on a 99% Islamic island. But you won't miss it. Road to the sea made on the DALA DALA...

We booked one night at the hotel, but due to a flight delay, we weren't able to check in until 6 a.m. We were lucky to have our stay. We had to check out at 11 a.m. We slept through breakfast, so we can't review it. The hotel itself is very run-down, and the toilet doesn't work. There are tons of locals begging for money on the street. We had to take a detour to get to the beach, but maybe there was...

It is priced affordably for travelers on a budget. I stayed there 1/2 day so it did the job.

Services cannei.proved a lot.people can be more hospitable.

Very noisy place , settled above market street. Not sound isolation at all, u will feel all time someone close the door. No recommend to audio sensitive ppl

It was very fun and amazing , and enjoyed a lot from the view culture and all thing from that place but the best part was the bombom part on a yacht I never experienced that thing and made me proud a lot and also plan for the next trip on kendwa beach.

+ low cost of accommodation, which includes breakfast; + wide and clean beaches for active recreation are very close; + there is free Wi-Fi; + there is air conditioning in the room; + parking spaces can be found near the hotel. - noise from street air conditioners is heard at night, you can’t sleep with the window open; - very slippery tiles in the toilet and shower, be careful; - poor ventilation...

The hotel has a wonderful location, direct access to one of Zanzibar's best beaches, Kendwa! The white sand is up to 200 meters wide! The breakfast is simple but delicious!

Mocco beach villa is about 1hr30 from the airport and cost apx50$ or if you booked from booking.com is only 35$. The places is amazing with wonderful view and clear water for swimming. The rooms are big with double comfortable bed, refrigerator, a/c, wifi, and a shower with soap. Last but not least the receptionist Restuter is a kind, lovely, much helpful with the beautiful smile, Newman the housekeeper...

Was a relaxing place to stay. Hotel staff were excellent. Plenty of beds available on the beach, place felt safe. Good value for money.

Great place! The vibe is cool, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. The slashes were especially good. Highly recommended.

Great location, staff is super friendly and let us use the sunbeds and umbrella for free as we had lunch there. Place has a very relaxed vibe and no beach salesmen💛💛💛💛💛💛

I really enjoyed my stay at Mocco Beach. Great location, excellent service, and attentive staff. One of the best in Zanzibar.

Great beachfront resort . Our stay was lovely and nice , great value great location and lovely service

Wonderful place with amIng atmosphere We like our stay and we highly recommend Thank you Al Pacino for everything

A wonderful and cozy place right on Kendwa Beach. The hotel is small, which makes the whole experience very personal and unique. The rooftop bar is simply stunning – not only because of the incredible views, but also thanks to some of the best cocktails and food I’ve had on the island. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunset. The biggest impression is left by the hotel owner – incredibly...

I had an amazing stay at this hotel in Zanzibar. The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it perfect for relaxing. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, with a good variety of local and international...

This place was nice to stay at. Simple but clean. They make a really delicious octopus. Room cleaning was neat and the beach was wonderful. If you are looking for an escape trip with a friend or your partner this is the place to stay at.

I had a fantastic experience staying at this hotel. Everything was perfect—from the clean and comfortable rooms to the peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax. The staff were professional, friendly, and always ready to help, which made my stay even more enjoyable. What truly sets this place apart is the owner. They are an amazing person—very welcoming, kind, and genuinely dedicated to making...

The staff were absolutely amazing - really made us so incredibly comfortable. The restaurant food was delicious. The accommodation is just a short walk from the beach. Loved our stay.

An amazing stay at the Kilindi. The hotel and its grounds are stunning, beach tropical beautiful in high tide, and the food exquisitely prepared and the best we have had in any hotel we have stayed at. This is a luxury boutique hotel and you are made to feel as if you are an exclusive guest. What makes this hotel incredible is the warmth, kindness and levels of service from all of the staff at the...

Lovely place to stay, service is absolutely great. Rooms were absolutely clean with great privacy. The stuff is very attentive . Julieth really went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special. Chef Senzo did so well with my husband’s birthday dinner and overall meals during our stay . Christina kept our room spotless at all times Stunning views overall . An amazing place to visit if you want...

Beautiful accommodation with an extremely nice butler, Salum. Reception, however, was poor: my birthday was forgotten despite multiple notifications.

We had an amazing 4 night stay at Kilindi to wrap up our Honeymoon in Tanzania. The hotel itself is unique with a beautiful pool area that overlooks a small cove where local fishermen can be seen giving an insight into local life on the island. What really set Kilindi apart for us was the staff who made sure we never wanted for anything and the food, which was amazing! (Shoutout to Lillian who was...

Excellent luxurious experience. So very relaxing. Service was the best (5 star). Our butler, Salehe, met our every need. We did Dhow boat sunset and couples massage with facials. They were also fantastic. Can’t wait to come back. Sunsets are awesome.

We had the most pampered stay and the most delicious food! My only complaint is the big portions! Salum,our butler and Raya our room Steward were very warm and caring,while the manager Saidi frequently checked in to see that we were okay and enjoying our stay
