I had a great experience in this hotel. The hotel itself is very new, and you can see that in nicely decorated spacious room with quality furnitures and lots of shelves and racks that are more than enough to store your extra stuff. Room was very clean, housekeeping was professional during my stay. Breakfast was great, wifi was strong enough to browse and check your emails. They even have a generator for power outages that are very common in Kendwa. 10 min walk to beach, which is not big deal, you even find a chance to grab a few groceries at a local store on your way back to hotel. Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and always available to ask anything. They even let me check out after 5pm in my last day which made my day so easy as my flight was late in night. I will definitely book Crystal Coast again in my next visit to Kendwa.

I want to share my pleasant impressions after staying at Villa Vanilla and express my gratitude to Alex and staff for their care, attention and hospitality. I recommend staying at this hotel. The staff is attentive, always clean and pleasant. We lived on the 3rd floor and there was a gorgeous view of the ocean. The rooms are spacious, snow-white linen, the mattress on the bed is my love, it is perfect) there is air conditioning and a fan. There is always hot water in the shower, in case of a power outage there is a generator. There is also a refrigerator. Breakfast is always fruit, coffee and every day a new dish. Be sure to come to the restaurant on the 4th floor to enjoy the sunset and try seafood, they cook very tasty, and Alex goes to the local fishermen every day and buys fresh fish. The beach is very wide, the tides are not significant, there are practically no sea urchins. Near the hotel there are small grocery stores, an exchanger, an alcohol market, a mini-market and a cafe. But still, I recommend Alex's restaurant, we compared it and it really tastes better than others. We really enjoyed!

Super nice hotel with amazingly friendly staff! They are very thoughtful and do everything they can to make you happy. The location is excellent—right on the beach—with delicious food and a great hookah for hookah lovers. The rooms are super clean. We even canceled our last hotel just to stay here for one more night! Highly recommended for everyone!

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

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
