My girlfriend and I stayed at this resort in Zanzibar for two weeks, and we had an absolutely amazing time. The hotel was beautiful and spotless, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed every meal and truly felt at home. Aggrey, along with the rest of the wonderful staff, really went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. He even organized a stunning private dinner for us on the beach, which I highly recommend to anyone staying here. All the excursions we booked through the hotel were reasonably priced and went off without a hitch. Everything was well organized and smooth. The resort deserves a full 5/5 stars. It was a diverse place with guests from all over the world, including France, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Africa, and the UK. A big shoutout to the French General Manager and the office crew for arranging a breathtaking room with an incredible sea view!

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to...

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Great location on the beach, very nice and friendly staff, large rooms, beautiful grounds with many coconut palms Unfortunately, there is a lot of small plastic waste and cigarette butts on the beach near the beach chairs. Noise, pollution and danger from reckless jet ski drivers. DANGEROUS & Pollution

The staff and the location mostly. The restaurant is also good. The staff made me feel very welcomed, they are super! The hotel is owned by a local who cares about the clients. The location is the best in Kendwa and that is basically what you pay for and for having a private area on the beach with free chairs and umbrellas. There is always someone next to that area so you can keep your things safely. Towels for the beach are provided free of charge.

perfect location on the best beach in zanzibar. Beautiful:) loads of activities like boat trips, hair braiding, spa treatments, and all the water sports. not to mention the incredible sunset. We got the bungalow, right next to the beach with a plunge pool, and enjoyed it throughly. If we come back to zanzibar, will definitely book that kind of room again.
