Sunset Kendwa

The beach front.... Beautiful The rooms are clean and pretty too...

NIce property but there really isn't anything to do within the property. No swimming pool when you can't swim in the ocean because of too much algea and jelly fish espevcially when it is too hot. Water temperature not well controlled. Could not get colder water for shower even if the hot water is turned off. No free drinking water provided in the room when their water is not safe for drinking. You have to buy yur water even at the restaurant. Restaurant food hit and miss. Breakfast selection not good. Only has egg for protein. They linit the amount of fruits ( ony 1 banana, LOL!) I wont recommend.

Large room and a lovely balcony with views of sea in distance. Great bar and restaurant area which did get quite noisy at night due to visiting tour groups. Easy to get a sunbed or hammock. Turquoise sea.

This hotel has large clean rooms right on the best beach in the island. Other hotels are far from the sea but this one has the best sunbeds in town with amazing views and an awesome non-expensive bar. Staff super friendly. No WI-Fi in rooms, but u got it at the beach/bar area. We def recommend it!

THE GOOD Lovely location on gorgeous wide beach Nice rooms with a bit of local character THE NOT SO GOOD - Food at the beachside restaurant is pretty poor and overpriced - why they don't fix the service and menu and make it great I can't understand. I'd recommend going next door to Kendwa Rock. - Internet is available at the restaurant and beach (not rooms), but it is painfully slow and essentially useless if more than a few people are using it. Certainly don't rely on it being available. Again, a relatively easy thing to fix to keep customers happy, but the management doesn't seem to care. - Service not particularly good or attentive - They often run out of beach towels - need to sort that issue - Beds are really quite firm to be that comfortable - the fan didn’t adjust (one speed only) - reported at the time - the phone didn’t work either - also reported (and known about but not fixed) - the shower not sealed and flooded the bathroom (reported) Basically the management need to take a good hard look and fix some issues with service, rooms, food and wifi to make it a great place and one of the best locations on Zanzibar

The stay was fine. There was no power when we arrived. Things were eventually sorted but when in Africa everything is pole pole which means slowly slowly! So be patient.

The location and beach area is the best. Not crowded, pleasant sunbeds and umbrellas. Wonderful garden. We stayed in building Lulu, which is one of the oldest in the development, therefore a bit worn down. Yet, beds were confi, room spacious, great segregated balcony with fantastic view to the Indian Ocean. Cleaning was okay, we even had an old AC, but did the job. Good value for money.

The location is very good, but that's pretty much it. I know it is rated as a 3 * hotel, but i guess even these ones should have at least minimum of cleanliness and services. The room was not cleaned properly and the shower and the sink had visible disgusting salt/calcium deposits and the bed sheets were full of stains. Regarding the service, sometimes it was good and some times deplorable. We didn't used the sunbeds provided most of the time because of our busy schedule, but the one day that we went and asked for 2 beach towels ( which are included in the hotel facilities) the guy in charge of that told us that there are not anymore available. Here i try to explain him that is our last day and we wanna take a swim in the sea and we need 2 towels and his answear was: "well we don't have anymore...what are you gonna do about it?!" Which i think in any culture this is called a deplorable service.

Location very good!! Beautiful Beach right in front of hotel. Breakfast needs to be improved

Amazing Beach right in front of hotel. Breakfast wasn’t so good
