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.

Every single member of staff was excellent and attentive! My room was cleaned daily and to a good standard. I had an amazing sea facing room and enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony when it was raining (rainy season). The sunbeds were comfortable and charging stations were right beside them. Food was good, though it could do with a little more seasoning. Still, there was variety to choose from.

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

Such an amazing Zanzibar atmosphere of relaxation. Bungalow with a luxurious terrace (two tables, a sofa, chairs, a sunbed). Spacious room, closet, modern plumbing. Spacious shower room. Wonderful hostess, wonderful breakfast at a time convenient for you. There is a restaurant nearby, shops and the beach within walking distance. I would have gladly stayed longer.
