Location at first row to the sea.
We experienced a very rigid check-in process. We preferred to sleep together with our children in one room, but there was absolutely no flexibility regarding this. We showed at the reception how we had booked via booking.com, and the receptionist seemed to understand our perspective, but he strongly adhered to an overarching principle. We had to wait for two hours for check-in and had to purchase an extra room. It was late in the afternoon, so it didn't make sense to find another place with tired children. We recommend choosing a different location - especially with children. We have traveled across the country for many months, and this is the worst service we have encountered. It seemed like there was a greater focus on profit rather than creating a good experience for the guests.

I loved the location and the general hotel area. The beach is beautiful and there is a great beach bar area and places to lounge in the sun
The breakfast was not interesting. Too many choises of food that wasn’t good. That’s not unusual for Zanzibar. The eggs/omelet was almost the only thing worth eating. I’d prefer 3-5 well prepared options and good coffee and a glass of freshly made juice. The instant coffee was better than the brewed coffee. The service in the restaurant was slow, even for Africa, the waiters are nice but the experience is that of poor management. Not that the staff is bad, they just don’t seem to know what they should do.

Amazing staff! They’re the kindest people I’ve ever met! It’s located on really nice beach. I would say it’s the best part of the beach. If you walk few meters on the left, there’s plenty of starfish. Really delicious food in the restaurant. Breakfast was also good, not the same every day and lot of choices. Wouldn’t find any better place. :)
We stayed all day after check out before leaving and they let us take a shower in the lobby, provided towels and also beach towels.
Only cold water in the room. The beach part of the resort looks old and needs some reconstruction. There were two managers going around every night which wasn’t feeling comfortable, seemed like they’re mean to the staff. :(

There are good girls who work for money, if you understand me.
They did not clean the room and put towels, every day we urged and watered it but there was no effect, only after five days they started to clean. A disaster.
People in restaurants and cafes on the beach constantly steal money from customers and tell a higher price than it is! Take care! We caught them stealing and cheating hotel guests every time. Incredibly. Thieves.
There are always boats and ships on the beach and it smells of gasoline, as if it were a marina for ships.

We really enjoyed our stay in Kendwa and definitely we will be back. The staff is amazing, super polite, respectful, good information from the reception from the day we arrived. The sea is absolutely amazing tho a bit wavy but nothing special or for concern. We stayed on the Bungalows and it’s close to everything. The beach is full of beds and you have as well the service button which is amazing you can eat and enjoy the beach at the same time. There is 8 bars so you have plenty to chose and you always have some entertainment. Even if you have kids it’s the perfect place they never get bored. There is a lot of water sports and as well Sky diving that I recommend if you have the courage to do it.
Right outside of the hotel you have a few restaurants and a small supermarket in case you need.
Every month they have the Full Moon Party that is super cool and if you have the chance try because it is worth.

This is my 2nd time in Kendwa Rocks. Hotel has located at one of the best location of Zanzibar. Long and perfect beach, much beautiful than any others in Nungwi. Best place to stay and relax. Sea water pool and pool bar also is a good activity. Rooms are clean.
Since 2018 nothing has improved for breakfast. If the breakfast is good I definitely say that hotel is 5 star. Also during our stay dates city tax has been reduced to 1$ from 8$ but when we complainted about that they did not accept it due to our reservation date. I would like to pay the current city tax which dates I had stayed but they did not accept.
