Sunset Kendwa

The hotel's expansive property, featuring a decentralized layout of facilities and buildings, offers a degree of privacy. While our group accommodation was distributed across various buildings, presenting some logistical challenges, this did not detract from the overall experience. The hotel's aesthetic appeal is undeniable, with stunning beach views. Accessing the beach involves descending stairs from higher levels, followed by a walk through a picturesque landscape of sand, palm trees, and other vegetation, culminating in a truly breathtaking vista. The dining experience was highly satisfactory, with delicious cuisine and exceptional service. The staff demonstrated professionalism, cultural awareness, and a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. The beach is arguably one of the finest in Zanzibar, particularly at sunset, a spectacle that should not be missed. Cleanliness standards are consistently maintained. Our primary concern relates to the inconsistent internet connectivity, which may be unreliable or unavailable in certain areas.

We had a great stay at this resort in Zanzibar! The service was excellent — the staff were always friendly and helpful. Housekeeping cleaned our room daily, keeping everything fresh and tidy. The food at the resort’s restaurant was definitely among the best in the area. We tried a few places nearby, but always came back to eat here. Prices were also quite reasonable considering the quality. A special shoutout to the cocktail master at the beach bar — the drinks were fantastic, and the vibe there was perfect for relaxing by the ocean. The only downside was our room — it had a strong damp smell and felt very humid, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times. With some improvement in ventilation, the experience would be flawless. Overall, highly recommended for a relaxing getaway in Zanzibar!

Strange place, we came here for the day where you pay $10pp for entry to the beach/sun beds area. Be warned, lots of strange rules… Despite paying for sun beds. The only way to get a towel is to pay to separately use the pool…or be a guest…not sure why. Everyone in the pool being asked their room number. You can order food on the beach, but then get told you need to leave the beach to eat it. Except if it’s pizza, then it’s allowed. You can use the sun beds, but you can’t use them in the sun, they need to stay under the shelters, we saw people being told off repeatedly for shifting them out from under the shadows. Everything is advertised in US dollars. But they don’t have US dollars change, so ask you to pay in local currency. Will go elsewhere from now on where things make sense. Someone needs to do a complete refresh on how this place is run.
