It is very well thought! The rooms have everything that you need during a vacation by the ocean and you feel like home. There were many people home working there, too! I think it is perfect for a digital nomad.

The hotel is at the best beach location. Long walk on the beach in front of many other hotels is possible unlike at other parts of Zanzibar. Many cute little local shops are near just a minute away. All kinds of fantastic water activities and boat tours are right in front of the hotel. The beach is clean and can swim any time, unlike in other areas where you have to wait for high tide not to hurt yourself on the corals. The hotel pool is also very pleasant.

The room was HUGE! Completely exceeded my expectations! In fact the whole hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff were so friendly! There was a large selection of breakfast foods that changed every day. The restaurant food was very yummy! The beach is just incredible! And they have charging sockets by the loungers!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I stayed in Nungwi and Kendwa, and this is the best hotel and beach in that area for sure. Clean. Spacious. Best view on Kendwa beach and sunset. Nice breakfast. They have a fridge and kettle with tea in the room. A generator if there is no electricity. Owner Alex is often there, and he is very friendly and helpful. He can navigate you around and suggest the best option for every need. Really, this is the best place in that area for this money (especially if you are seeking an awesome view of the sea and sunset). Totally recommend.

    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.

    • The location of the SunSeaBar hotel is truly spectacular, with immediate access to the pristine waters of the Zanzibar channel. • The hotel features a great pool, sun loungers, and a restaurant. • The hotel was very clean, and housekeeping did a great job throughout, giving public areas and corridors a pleasant fresh smell.
