Natural Kendwa Villa, hotel in Kendwa

I never got to have the breakfast at the facility because the night we arrived we had dinner. Ordered some burgers and some salad. My friend had a big live maggot in her burger and she only saw it because she always opens it up. I had to throw up my food and the staff was asking us not to leave a review for this which makes me wonder how many people it has happened to! This left a bad taste to the mouth and you can imagine how this overshadows everything. We asked to speak to the manager since we could not eat at the facility and he had the nerve to offer us a massage even with the knowledge of him knowing that we had to leave for our ferry or 50% off our next stay, why would we stay there! This was the worst facility I have ever been to! Appalling service, if i could rate a 0 I would because I wouldn’t wish anyone to stay there. They even refused to pay for our breakfast for the two days that we ended up taking at the other hotel they are affiliated with.

Kendwa Rocks Hotel, hotel in Kendwa

Located on Kendwa Beach and surrounded by lush gardens, Kendwa Rocks Hotel offers rooms and suites with views of the Indian Ocean or the garden. Zanzibar Town is 1 hour drive away.

The beach is very nice, but the waiters are not so much responsive or quick. I booked a garden view room, but I got a room with no view, my room view was the isle between rooms. The breakfast was very good, if only the staff was more quick and responsive, also breakfast time should extend for maybe one more hour.

    In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location.

    In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location. However, there were some issues to address: The breakfast had a good variety of food, but unfortunately, warm items were cold. When I requested my sausages to be reheated, they were returned cold, accompanied by a surprised question about wanting them hot. It would be better if the staff anticipated the preference for warm breakfast items. The bed was so uncomfortable, causing back pain every morning. I tried all sides of mattress, and anyways there was a pit regardless of the position. This might be specific to only my bed, but it needs attention. The restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices, and the waiters speaks good English and are polite ( except trainees) Cleanless! Room was clean and tide, but there were several diferent bugs around, but its Africa, you just need to ask to spray your room for bugs (i asked but they never did) and you need to ask for wc paper and ask for clean towels. Water pression in the shower and hot water was very good. Unfortunately AC didnt wor for last 2 nights. I guess a gas just finished, but noone came to check on it, just excuses about low voltage. Well, when voltage was low even fridge was not working, bet when voltage restored AC and fridge worked excellent. Water got frozen in the fridge in 1h - so thats not a low voltage at all. Despite the issues, I tought I would consider to come back, but after last 2 nights struggles, I doubt about it. Particularly I would suggest a room with a sea view and small private pool, keeping in mind that perfection may not exist in every aspect, especially in a place like Zanzibar.

    The internet is going to tell you Kendwa has the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar....it has not....not at all....yes, the beach is nice and wide and white.....but there is no vegetation at all, it's full of sunbeds and umbrellas from the resorts/hotels....way to many traders and not much to offer than going up and down, only to then retreat to your hotel or some place with shade....if you come here for drinks or a party, fine, but don't waste all of your vacation here, when there are many other cheaper and more beautiful places on the island...

    Kendwa beach in its self is one of the best I have been too and I have been a regular beach traveller worldwide for the last 40 years. The only advice I would suggest would be to vet the hotel thoroughly as sunseabar was not upto standard it advertised. Go out into local restaurants we tried 4 different ones all were superb so far superior to the hotel

    Serene grounds, welcoming staff and very courteous to clientele. Food was good (seafood) and the rooms are superb ( got an ocean view facing the tennis court. Need more African entertainment for guests at night though!

    Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach!

    Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach! They welcome you with a delicious fresh tropical juice! It is nice to see local people and fishermen living just next door. In the other hand thou, the front sea is full of boats that make swimming a bit complicated. The staff is very kind. Rooms are sober but clean and furnitures are nicely wooden. Breakfast is in range(no buffet, no choice) but good. Very much recommended place. I would definitely return there.

    First of all the location is amazing, it’s not on the beach so not crowded or loud. The walk to the beach is a little 5 min hike which adds so much more to the experience of Zanzibar instead of just the tourist bubble. The hosts are sweethearts, they ooze positive vibes and the huts are comfortable and clean. You have everything you need and everyone is super helpful ♥️ Couldn’t recommend a better place to stay in kendwa that is good on the wallet and makes you feel loved ♥️

    Very nice small hotel of traditional architecture, with a beautiful terrace where customers can enjoy nice food and cocktails and chill out in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly and smiley, always available and ready to help. Flavia and Manuel gave us advice and plenty of tips to fully enjoy our stay in Zanzibar. We appreciated in particular the quiet environment in the proximity of the best beach in Kendwa. Definitely recommended.

    The apartment is spacious. Ceiling fans in kitchen area and bedroom keep the temp comfortable. Amos checked on us every day, answered all our questions promptly, and occasionally left us a gift of fresh papaya from his trees. The apartment is situated away from the major tourist hotels, more in the "regular people" part of town, which we really liked. It was a brief walk to shops for food and a brief walk to the beaches, which are LOVELY!

    we really enjoyed our time at Sansi Kendwa beach resort. The staff were so friendly and made an amazing family and fun atmosphere - it was impossible to not be in a good mood around them. Mohammed from the reception went the extra mile to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable at possible. We really enjoyed the food and activities. We would love to come back and definitely recommend it if you visit Zanzibar! Thank you for everything!

    This is the place to stay if you want a real feel for the warmth & charm of Zanzibar. The owners & staff make you feel like part of their family and give wonderful support in every need of your visit ex. tours, transportation. Their breakfast and barbecue restaurant are excellent and will accommodate any request if possible. We stayed at 3 hotels in Zanzibar and this one was our favorite for its peaceful and gracious atmosphere

    The staff was so helpful, we arrived at midnight and they were waiting for us to greet us and show us the amenities offered by the hotel. The management went above and beyond to make sure we spent a lovely vacation. The rooms were clean, the food was top notch, and the view was AMAZING!! You cannot beat the location of Lazy Beach hotel, especially the breathtaking views from the rooftop restaurant.

    The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming and lovely with the kids. We loved the kids club, though small and fully outdoors, it offered nice activities for the kids including evening movie nights. The food selection was great. The beach is by far the most beautiful of Zanzibar, with stunning blue, deep, waters, and no sea urchins. The rooms were pretty and well appointed.

    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.
