I don't have enough words to describe how kind the host and staff were. They were always helpful and there when we needed them. One day when we were going on an early morning excursion, they came out to meet us and prepared us a takeaway breakfast, even though it was 6:30am. It was a lovely gesture and a big thank them! The hotel has a beautiful garden and each room has its own terrace in front of the door. Room and bathroom are big and have enough space. Hotel is located 10 minutes walk from the most beautiful beach of Kendwa. Our room was cleaned every day and the towels were changed. Also, the hotel has its own night watchman, so you can feel safe and sleep peacefully. I have only one advice for them. It wolud be nice if they included another option in the breakfast offer besides eggs, because its too much to eat eggs 10 days in a row. Overall, we are very satisfied with the accommodation and would recommend it to everyone as it will feel like home.

Everything was perfect. Hotel nice and clean. The food was delicious, and drinks well prepared. However, the staff at the hotel are beyond perfection. The care of preparing your bed while you are having a delicious dinner before you go to sleep, the smile of all the staff every single day, asking how was your night, if you had a great day. They are the cherry on the top of the hotel! Wonderful!

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

The hotel is small and peaceful. Staff is friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed having fruits and coffee for breakfast. They also have a dining room, so there is a possibility to choose something from the menu. The owners put effort to make this place nice. My room was very clean. I would highly advise everyone who visits Zanzibar for the first time to ask the hotel owners to guide you and give you some pieces of advice about the prices, restaurants, taxi and sightseeing.

This is by far the best resort in Zanzibar, everything was beyond our expectations. The beach and the views are absolutely incredible, very rich breakfast, extremely delicious food, very clean and luxurious villa and everything is TOP!!! The fire on the beach at sunset is brilliant and we felt very safe, the staff is really doing their best. Your only regret will be when you leave. PS: we really loved yoga with Claudia
