Прекрасная пляжная зона, зеленая территория отеля, комфортные просторные номера.

Прекрасное расположение, тихая широкая пляжная зона. Лежаки под большими навесами расположенными на значительном расстоянии друг от друга. Территория отеля зеленая. Номера с минималистиным интерьером, но со всем необходимым. Проблем с кондиционером, нагревателем для воды не было. WiFi слабоват, но ловит по всей территории. Завтраки одинаковые, но есть небольшой выбор. Голодными не останетесь: делают омлет, блины, сосиски, бобы, картошка, хлопья с молоком. Большой выбор булочек и кексов. Фрукты приносят каждому на стол.

Ресторан при отеле дороговат

Wir würden das Hotel nicht nochmal buchen!

Die Anlage war schön. Der Strand war toll.

Leider gab es am Strand viel zu wenig Liegen für die Hotelbesucher. Zudem waren die Liegen am Strand total unbequem. Am ersten Tag ging unsere Dusche nicht, weshalb wir die Rezeption kontaktiert haben. Hier wurde uns gesagt, dass es kein Zimmer Nr. 15 gäbe. Wir waren aber im Zimmer Nr. 15. Nach ca. 1,5 Stunden wurde ein Mitarbeiter geschickt, der die Dusche repariert hat. Am nächsten Tag fiel das Wasser in unserem Zimmer für ca. 30 Minuten aus und wir konnten nicht Duschen gehen. Als wir diesmal die Rezeption kontaktierten, hieß es, dass bereits jemand aus Zimmer Nr. 15 vorne an der Rezeption wäre. Mir wurde unterstellt, ich müsste mich bei der Zimmernummer irren. Dies war aber nicht der Fall. Ich und mein Partner waren beide auf dem Zimmer, es konnte also unmöglich jemand von Zimmer Nr. 15 an der Rezeption sein. Das Wasser kam dann, zum Glück, auch ohne Hilfe der Rezeption wieder. Nachdem das Wasser wieder ging, kamen dann doch noch zwei Mitarbeiter vorbei. Zudem war das Essen leider sehr schlecht. Sowohl mein Partner als auch ich hatten nach dem Essen Magen-Darm-Probleme. Dieses Problem hatten wir bisher in keinem Hotel auf Sansibar.

5 Ferientage an schönem aber sehr lautem und belebten Strandabschnitt - würden nicht wiederkommen

Schöne, grosszügige Hotelanlage mit Palmengarten

Unfreundliches und unaufmerksames Hotelpersonal, man fühlt sich eher abgefertigt als Willkommen.

Paradise

We loved the whole experience. From the welcoming to the farewell everyone from the staff was so kind and friendly. The gave us 2 extra hour in our room after checkout. They made the room every day so clean. New towels and water every day. The view was beautiful there are a short walk to the beach (the resaurant as well) thru the small palm tree forest we absolutely loved it. The breakfast was great you can see the ocean and the palm trees while you having your breakfast and coffee. Grocery market just a few steps from the entrance. Many restaurants nearby. The hotel have a private beach and a pool (we didnt try but it was okay). You can chill on the beach nobody disturb you. They have a nice garden with a so calm atmosphere. Absolutely worth the money.

Great value for money and a great location!

A great deal. Breakfast and dinner included- Good food. Lots of sun loungers available and on a great part of the beach. Our Room was lovely (we had a courtyard view and you could just about see the sea through the palms from our balcony). Nice beach bar with good selection of drinks and music playing in the background. Nice pool, not too big. Bathroom a bit dated, but clean (that’s pretty much the only fault I could find). Staff were friendly. Such a good price!!

The bathroom was dated and could do with a renovation. The shower was not great. Also, the sofa bed in the bedroom seems dated and could do with a new one. Other than that our room was beautiful.

Relaxing time in Kendwa

The location is unbeatable, right at the beach. Facilities were convenient, particularly the restaurant and beach chairs. Staff always pleasant and helpful.

Room was dated, and in need of upgrading, specially the bathroom. No power sockets next to the bed.

This place is a scam

Literally nothing

We were in our honeymoon got there around 5:30pm very tired after a long trip they welcome us at the front desk , asked for money for a "fee" then walked all the way to the rooms (they are many stairs ) down to the beach, open the door of our room and we see two single beds the room wasn't the want we booked so we said there is a mistake and they said we don't have you room available tonight but tomorrow or the next day we might . They didn't send an email or a call or even told us when we were check in they. Wait until we were on the room to let us know what we booked is not available. Very sad, sick and disappointment we call booking and they reached to with Rawan booking manager that is in Egypt e said they do have the room available so we went back to the front desk and said you manager booking said you do have the room, of course this guys didn't even know because he is on Egypt !! There wasn't any room available so we asked for refund and the next day we left. The people at the front desk said we will refund you give us an phone and email but after over a month we haven't received anything they don't wanna give us the money back. Also wasn't just the 2 single beds, wast our luxury room, the shower never worked they even woke us up at 11pm trying to get in the room to use our phone and we were ON BED !! AC didn't worked but we told them was ok that please at least the shower because we did have a long trip (26hours) First in the morning we left even before breakfast we talked to them again making sure the money will get refund and they said yes no problem. This place is a joke !!!

No Smile Hotel!

Do not buy half board or full board. You will get problems every lunch or dinner. If you dont pay they dont make same services like who pay bild. Expect for service manager lady!!! She was great. Who works there no smile :(

I wouldn’t recommend this place to my friends

the beach was nice with no seaweed

there’s a 4% fee to use your card but no one tells you that, no one explained the meal plan so i had no idea how dinner / half board worked. The water in the room smells awful, the WiFi only works at the restaurant and not in the hotel room, the AC barely works, my shower leaked so bad it would run into the room, the fridge didn’t get cold and just leaked water. The beds are uncomfortable and only come with a top sheet, no other linens. The beach chairs are awful, they put pads down at 9am and the chairs are all taken by 930. the hammocks are broken.

Beautiful beach for family vacation

The location of the pool and the restaurant area next to the beach makes it very practical for parents and kids to enjoy the hotel. The beach is beautiful and not crowded.

Superb

Breakfast was great, the beach was amazing!! We loved Queen who took care of us at breakfast as well as on the beach bring us drinks and appetizers. She was awesome!!

Had some loose planks on the way to the pool/beach area, I almost broke a toe.... No one was interested in helping me or asking questions as I had to ask for ice 3/4 times. Very strange. I finally received ice form a server, he walked away asking no questions or offering any assistance. However, the next day they had a crew there fixing ALL the super old planks.

Somewhat ok .

Location environment coconut trees

1- BEWARE ROOMS HAVE NO INTERNET ! 2- Breakfast totally consists of carbonhydrade no cheese no olives, 2 eggs max allowed per person you have to fill up your stomache with bakery and other heavy carb stuff . I think this is the hotel strategy to make people hungry much quicker so that they can sell you lunch and snacks because no all inclusive option. I saw the restaurant manager lady and asked about cheese and she said “ we are working on it” . I think she was having fun with me 3- Waiters and waitresses somewhat slow and aggressive ( this is valid for entire zanzibar ) . When you try to speed up something actually might happen much quicker , they get nervous . My table had no fork or knife I just grabbed from another table and they act as if you insulted them . I wanted to pick a mug for coffee , waiter told me to “ sit down “ :) 4- Wall plugs are all U.K. type , but thank god I grabbed an adapter from reception and they want deposit for adapters , so strange no english tourists visit the island ( all italians and other EU ) but plugs are still not being switched to E.U . 5- When you order beer be careful before using the bottle because all bottles have big rust layer under the cap . 6- Bathrooms are quite primitive, dont expect too much . ( slippers, sanitation kit , cotton never exist). 7- I m giving 10 out of 10 to housekeeping .

The best beach in Zanzibar

the best location on Kendwa beach ( I’ve been told that it’s the most beautiful beach on the whole island), breakfast is good, very friendly and helpful staff, rooms very close to the beach.

the bed was too hard for me, but that depends…

Quite and nice place, but breakfast could be better

Beautiful beach, nice surroundings with palm trees. Staff taking care about cleaning

Asked for 1 king size bed, but they couldn’t provide. also towels aren’t changeable during one day. And breakfast was insufficient (eggs and pancakes, no fruit and meat). Also sun beds were for 4 people, not for 2 ore 1

Grat place to rest

Honestly this is really good hotel. My girlfriend and myself we really enjoyed our stay in this place. Good food, rooms are clean, perfect location, staff friendly and helpful. Definitely will come back to that place again !

They could arrange some more "things" to happen especially during pick time in zanzibar. Like live music, or some shows. I'm not saying they did not but within 6 days they did once and I think hotel was almost full.

good resort on heavenly beach :)

- good location - good facilities & housekeeping

- no wi-fi at all...anywhere! - the breakfast lasted till 9:30 not 10:30 as it says. No refill - only one small jar of nutella or peanut butter is not enough for the number of hotel guests. - not enough sunbeds for the number of guests. The beach is not private and the sellers on the beach are nuisance even though they aren't allowed to come near the sunbeds.

Beautiful and safe place, but high prices for the stay, drinks and food. food quality was only “ok” and it was a lack of

Clean, beautiful day environments, felt very safe

The beach is beautiful.

Pretty poor breakfast with very early serving and early finish. The Internet does not exist almost anywhere. It exists only sometimes and it is very bad and unstable. It is not true that there is internet in public places. Some of the staff are welcoming but most are not.

Could be great with a little more effort

Very spacious hotel with a wonderful beach. The rooms are comfortable and the facilities are decent. But this is a 3 star hotel at best so set your expectations accordingly.

I booked a room over a month in advance, only to arrive and be told the room I booked was not available. Then was subsequently charged the same rate for a room I did not stay in, rather than the rate for the room I was moved to. Breakfast is also just decent, fruits, bread and eggs is about all they serve. The hotel also does not provide basic toiletries like a toothbrush and toothpaste which we requested and were told we had to go outside the hotel to buy.
