A 4-star hotel at a very convenient price! The rooms are huge and spotless clean, very well equipped. Great breakfast with many options. The dinner was always fresh and delicious, congrats to the chef. Nice beach, nice pool, never crowded. Definitely a great choice in Kiwengwa! Would go back there anytime.

We stayed at this lovely hotel in Zanzibar for 4 nights and 5 days, and it was a fantastic experience! The price is incredibly reasonable for the quality provided. The owner, Max, is warm and welcoming—before we even arrived, he messaged us with helpful details about our stay and restaurant recommendations around the area, which was a nice touch. Funnily enough, though, the food at the hotel was even better than most of the places nearby! The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the breakfast, included in the price, was amazing! Every day, the menu was different, which kept things interesting and avoided the monotony you often find at other hotels. The drinks and food were also reasonably priced, especially considering the quality. Food-wise, everything was delicious, and certainly better than many nearby spots with views. We tried the seafood pasta and shrimp coconut curry, and both were absolutely incredible. If I could give 10 stars out of 5, I would! Overall, our stay was wonderful, and I highly recommend this hotel 100%!

We stayed at Kai Zanzibar for our anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better place. The room was spacious, beautifully designed with earthy tones and local touches that felt both luxurious and authentic. Breakfasts were fresh and generous …tropical fruits, warm pastries, eggs made to order..The staff were so warm and genuine…they surprised us with flowers and even a slice of cake for our special day

Amazing and relaxing experience at this hotel. Great hospitality and service, by the beachfront away from touristic places and close to local people doing their daily business and local kids playing around. Still in walking distance to other restaurants, markets etc. I highly recommend 😎❤️

Amazing place to relax, great hospitality, and a very comfortable large bed. Clean rooms, beautiful surroundings with local plants. Very nice pool and relaxing area. The restaurant serves really good food, not to mention breakfast, you get with the price of the room. Host Ahmet and Ersoy are very professional and friendly. They would go the extra mile to make your stay perfect. The best place to stay in Nungwi,with 2 minutes walk to the beach.

Enjoyed the overall 'happy' atmosphere that is all around at Stone Town, you feel perfectly safe, everybody is friendly, nobody is harassing you. Typically enjoyed walking through the narrow streets of Stone Town, sniffing up all kinds of scents.

The vibes are great — everything you need is nearby, including shops, restaurants, and tour offices. Restaurants on the beach tend to be a bit pricey, but if you take a short walk into the side streets, you’ll find places offering the same quality food at much more reasonable prices. What I didn’t like were the beach boys — they’re nice and friendly, but can be a bit annoying as they keep trying to sell things. They’re not too pushy, but it’s hard to relax when someone approaches you every couple of minutes. The only time you can truly enjoy some peace is early in the morning. Important note : you have to strongly negotiate the prices and people are very nice and easy going Try to learn few words from their language they will be super happy :)

Paje, beautiful place and beach, plenty of restaurants both on the beach and on the road. The only downside is that the beach is in the shade by 16:30 and very high and low tides makes taking a dip complicated !

A peaceful and welcoming town with a strong sense of community and a safe, relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in a peaceful part of town, where there were noticeably fewer street vendors selling beads and souvenirs compared to other areas. This made the atmosphere even more calm and relaxing, allowing us to fully enjoy the local charm without feeling overwhelmed.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

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..

This is not a touristy location... it is off the beaten track... a village, by the sea, with an increasing number of resorts being added. I hope it does not lose its charm to the crowds. This is a quiet, special place.

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from...

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from Forodhani, and the journey can feel quite long—particularly if you have just arrived in Zanzibar. The drive is somewhat uncomfortable due to the condition of the road, which consists largely of worn, uneven tarmac. Additionally, the area lacks local street food options, leaving nearby hotels—most of which are high-end and expensive—as the primary dining choices. As someone who genuinely enjoys the rich and flavorful cuisine of Stone Town, I found the food in the area to be rather bland and not reflective of its price point.
