Kendwa Rocks Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel sits on the best part of the beach in Kendwa and Nungwi. Very comfortable beach beds. The staff are very friendly, however the service from the beach bar in the day can be very slow and confusing. Our rooms in the pool villas were fantastic, very clean and spacious. Would recommend"

Zuri Zanzibar

"This was the best beachfront property we have ever experienced in our many years of travel, Tranquil, well maintained, superbly attentive staff, bungalows lost within the forest with the feeling that there are no others around, best outdoor pool ever, incredible beach, I could go on ........... One of the few properties I have been to where the pictures on the internet do not do it justice."

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
