I have stayed before a year ago, and stayed in the forest room this time, which was renovated and so fresh and slick inside. The beach is amazing at low and high tide, and those magical sunsets. The staff down in the restaurant and bar are amazing so attentive and friendly and that bar on the beach is lovely.

We took the deluxe rooms which are located right at the beach. This is the low peak season so hotel was practically empty except for us and 2 other guests. Rooms are clean, beach is amazing with an amazing view of the sunset. Food was also good but pricy.

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.

The internet is going to tell you Kendwa has the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar....it has not....not at all....yes, the beach is nice and wide and white.....but there is no vegetation at all, it's full of sunbeds and umbrellas from the resorts/hotels....way to many traders and not much to offer than going up and down, only to then retreat to your hotel or some place with shade....if you come here for drinks or a party, fine, but don't waste all of your vacation here, when there are many other cheaper and more beautiful places on the island...

Kendwa beach in its self is one of the best I have been too and I have been a regular beach traveller worldwide for the last 40 years. The only advice I would suggest would be to vet the hotel thoroughly as sunseabar was not upto standard it advertised. Go out into local restaurants we tried 4 different ones all were superb so far superior to the hotel

Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach!
Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach! They welcome you with a delicious fresh tropical juice! It is nice to see local people and fishermen living just next door. In the other hand thou, the front sea is full of boats that make swimming a bit complicated. The staff is very kind. Rooms are sober but clean and furnitures are nicely wooden. Breakfast is in range(no buffet, no choice) but good. Very much recommended place. I would definitely return there.

Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday.
Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday.
This is the only area bot effected by tides.
The beach is wonderful and offers great places to eat. Kendwa rocks offers a great BBQ with live entertainment on Saturdays.
We booked the private jacuzzi room which was right outside our room. Very clean, comfy beds. We absolutely loved it, we also had sun beds and it was super relaxing. You can tell the owner takes pride in the hotel, paying attention to detail. The staff are helpful and very kind. The hotel is on the beach, and we could access it from our pool. There was an iron in the room too. The breakfast was also nice. We paid extra for lunch and dinner and it was the best food I’ve had in Zanzibar!
Good location, though access is not immediate.
They have a partnership with Kendwa Rocks Hotel and for 20 USD you can enjoy their pool and beach sunbeads.
The restaurant is very good. Great food with normal price range. Good breakfast as well.
They are worried about the quality of the stay and ask for feedback at the moment, which gives guests the opportunity to communicate if something is not going so well and they try to improve / meet your needs, which happened to us.
- huge villas with two private pools and a big washroom
overlooking the bay
- 50 acres full of tropical plants with only 15 villas make the place very intimate
- the food is the best probably in the whole Zanzibar..the chef prepares everyday a new menu both for lunch and dinner
- the staff is extremely kind and helpful. You will be assigned a private butler who will fulfill all
your desires
- private beach with huge sunbeds and kayaks to use
The apartment is spacious. Ceiling fans in kitchen area and bedroom keep the temp comfortable. Amos checked on us every day, answered all our questions promptly, and occasionally left us a gift of fresh papaya from his trees. The apartment is situated away from the major tourist hotels, more in the "regular people" part of town, which we really liked. It was a brief walk to shops for food and a brief walk to the beaches, which are LOVELY!
Everything everything everything. The location, the villa, the pool, the beach, the food. The customer service rated as 10 stars. Special thanks to Haleluya the best staff ever. She treated us as friends. She is very professional and always try to make our stay unforgettable. I will come back to the place especially for her. I highly recommend the place for every one. Special thanks to Clay, Andree, Mousa (housekeeper) and Dawood (chef)
we really enjoyed our time at Sansi Kendwa beach resort. The staff were so friendly and made an amazing family and fun atmosphere - it was impossible to not be in a good mood around them. Mohammed from the reception went the extra mile to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable at possible. We really enjoyed the food and activities. We would love to come back and definitely recommend it if you visit Zanzibar! Thank you for everything!
hotel is not every big, which can make you easy to approch every place whatever reception, restaurant or beach, very convenient, every staff are friendly, especially Beatrice give me more info before booking to make me make final decision staying at this hotel. some supprises like beach dinner and decoration in room make us very enjoy the time at kendwa.thanks, thanks to you all.
The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming and lovely with the kids. We loved the kids club, though small and fully outdoors, it offered nice activities for the kids including evening movie nights. The food selection was great. The beach is by far the most beautiful of Zanzibar, with stunning blue, deep, waters, and no sea urchins. The rooms were pretty and well appointed.
-beautiful location with nice garden and pool, very relaxing to spend time in the venue
-big clean rooms with comfartable bed
-everyday cleanin
-friendly staff
-quality-price of the accomodation is good compared with what you can find in zanzibar
-very nice beach there, beautifull sand, great for swimming
The beach was nice, but a little bit dirty. The sea is near from the hotel and you can swim there during all day, so it’s perfect. It’s not normal on Zanzibar. this is a huge advantage. The breakfast and dinner are on the beach. About 60 meters from the hotel. Swimming pool is also on the beach.
The hotel is located on the best stretch of beach in zanzibar, not affected by high or low tides. Service is 5 star. The general manager tuan and his staff all make a tremendous effort in ensuring you get the best service possible. 5 star hotel, 5 star service, 5 star food, 5 star location.
The hotel has a perfect location in Kendwa Beach, the room was always cleaned and the breakfast was very good.
Most of the staff was nice, smiling and always trying to help you.
I would definitely recommend Sunset Kendwa Beach hotel, because its on the best location and good price.
Restaurant ala carte food is really good & waiters were friendly...best meals we had in Zanzibar (we were half board) but we learnt that the chef is leaving soon.
Breakfast buffet can be enhanced though it was below average.
Cottage (Madgascar) was quite spacious.
Amazing hotel located at the most beautiful beach. Staff extremely helpful,,food amd coctails excellent quality. I stayed ib 6 different hotels in Zanzibar but only Zuri created peaceful paradise experience in each aspects. Outstanding place!
The hotel offers access to one of the best beaches in the whole of Zanzibar island. Very clean rooms and exceptional hospitality. Thank you guys for making our stay so comfortable. A special thanks to Queen, Ummy and Monika. Love you guys 😘
I would go to Zanzibar again just to stay at Zuri. It is in a league of its own. The rooms are great, the spice garden is magical, the beach and the sunset make you want to stay at the hotel forever.
