My stay was perfect, in all possible aspects. Good location, on Nungwi road, quite easy to find, very convenient if you want to take boda boda or taxi to Nungwi beach, or other parts of island. Place is in Kendwa, thus Kendwa beach it is around 6 min walk, also very close to Kendwa main restaurant street. Staff is professional, friendly, welcoming, helpful, they made my stay lovely, also I felt safe during my stay. Food was exceptional, they take care of every detail. Room was spacious, clean, every unit has small private patio, nicely decorated, where I was able to have coffee and relax, enjoy beautiful garden. The pictures you see is exactly what you get. For me it was very important that I have good wifi, clean space, hot water, and no moldy areas in room. I would gladly repeat my stay here.

    If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean...

    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. 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.

    Kendwa being on the north side of the island and close to Nungwi is great for travellers who enjoy a festive party vibe ,there are many pubs and resorts that are always having fun functions, there are many water activerties to enjoy eg: sailing, fishing, diving, kayaking,snorkling and many more, Kendwa also bosts a sky diving club and horse riding,for those who enjoy self driving the roads are in good condition from Stone Town I would however sadjest using the back route via Tunguu excellent roads and sceanic forestation.

    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.

    Relaxed place and best breakfast we had on Zanzibar. Renata is very kind and gave plenty of tips for our stay and was very helpful when our rental car wouldn’t start, she came to assist and even brought umbrellas when it started to rain. Convenient to have an Italian restaurant next door with great pizza/pasta and local dishes.
