Friendly staff who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable - they even helped me arrange a hairstylist to come to the hotel. Really peaceful environment. I loved being able to walk onto the beach. Great breakfast!
- really hard bed made it difficult to sleep
- very slow wifi
- restaurant is pricy

The staff is fantastic, especially Mariah working in the spa. The food was very good. If you like, you can purchase a bottle of wine at dinner and take the unfinished bottle to your room. There were always plenty of sunbeds and cabanas to choose from, plus fresh towels. The landscaping is beautiful.
The beach is only good for walking, whether the tide is in or out. Even with the rubber shoes provided, several guests while we were there suffered from the sea urchin issues. I agree with most of the reviews here, but no one seems to mention the bees/wasps at breakfast! It was impossible to enjoy breakfast. We finally learned to take our food up to our balcony.

The staying in Villa Kiva was 10/10. Just perfect. Everything worked well..Room was clean and bed was comfy. Pool and beach were very good. Lunch/dinner were great. Special thanks to Kamila who organized all..airport transportations..trip tp Nungwi beach etc.. all these and other service from her and other staff was totally perfect.
Took 2 massages..Maria was so good and total pro in their Villa Kiva Spa.
Will visit this place again soon for sure.

Everything was great: very clean room, splendid location, right on the beach, good breakfast (even if it was the same every day :)), good WiFi, good dinner. Very quiet location, ideal to just rest and enjoy the beach. Spent two weeks and would have stayed longer :)) Keep in mind that it is a little bit isolated from other points of interest on the island and if you want to travel and don't want to use local means of transportation a rental car would be advisable. By the way, parking is available, free of charge and guarded.
More diverse breakfast.

overall the hotel was amazing, great staff, food was good and we highly recommend
the only thing i can say is that the mattress was hard and we asked to changed and they changed the next day (but the new one also was a little bit hard)

The staff at Villa Kiva were wonderful - friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was great and the staff was willing to accommodate our diving schedule and allowed us to start breakfast slightly earlier than they normally open.

The hotel is really beautiful and very clean. The staff were extremely friendly and tried everything to make our stay comfortable. The food at restaurant was really tasty and high quality. The beachside area is really scenic.
The breakfast menu was a bit one sided and should be a bit more variable.
For dinner the vegetarian option was almost always pasta, this may be improved a bit. However the restaurant staff was very helpful and open to make small changes to the dishes to make sure that they cater to our needs. We are very thankful for this.

Beach, location, green garden, lots of space.
Breakfast boring, small selection. The pools are small, during the day, they become just like a hot water bath, there is no refresh.

The hotel looks better than in pictures, we had an amazing time. The food was really really good and every night there were other 3 options, never the same. Very fresh and tasty food. The pool and the rooms are cleaned regularly. Friendly staff. We booked a room with garden view but we had a better room with balcony and sea view

location
bathroom and room were super old and not maintained well
holes in the mosquito net
bed super uncomfortable as the bed itself is not good
bathroom the tiles are old and missing but also the grout is dirty and not fresh on wall and floor
all the mats on the floor old and worn and don’t look clean
9.0
It is placed on one of the most spectacular beaches, easy access to a lot of attractions. we loved the front area where you enjoy the sunrise or sunset, there was an area you could use to relax or practice some Yoga or exercises. manager was friendly and helped us to quicly upgrade one room or with a late check out.
Did not like the poola, were a bit to small, but they are not mandatory as you can priperly enjoy the ocean on this area. there was also an unpleasant smell in some rooms from the restrooms. compared to our first location, here the staff was a bit stressed for all the orders to be signed immediately to become accountable, but is understandable as well as they have many tourists.

Staff help you out to find anything on the island what you need: trips, taxi, shops, public transport
