Natural Kendwa Villa, hotel in Kendwa

I never got to have the breakfast at the facility because the night we arrived we had dinner. Ordered some burgers and some salad. My friend had a big live maggot in her burger and she only saw it because she always opens it up. I had to throw up my food and the staff was asking us not to leave a review for this which makes me wonder how many people it has happened to! This left a bad taste to the mouth and you can imagine how this overshadows everything. We asked to speak to the manager since we could not eat at the facility and he had the nerve to offer us a massage even with the knowledge of him knowing that we had to leave for our ferry or 50% off our next stay, why would we stay there! This was the worst facility I have ever been to! Appalling service, if i could rate a 0 I would because I wouldn’t wish anyone to stay there. They even refused to pay for our breakfast for the two days that we ended up taking at the other hotel they are affiliated with.

Kendwa Rocks Hotel, hotel in Kendwa

Located on Kendwa Beach and surrounded by lush gardens, Kendwa Rocks Hotel offers rooms and suites with views of the Indian Ocean or the garden. Zanzibar Town is 1 hour drive away.

The beach is very nice, but the waiters are not so much responsive or quick. I booked a garden view room, but I got a room with no view, my room view was the isle between rooms. The breakfast was very good, if only the staff was more quick and responsive, also breakfast time should extend for maybe one more hour.

    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

    Serene grounds, welcoming staff and very courteous to clientele. Food was good (seafood) and the rooms are superb ( got an ocean view facing the tennis court. Need more African entertainment for guests at night though!

    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. 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.

    this place is GORGEOUS. we switched this resort after reading more reviews of Gold Zanzibar and decided on this place and I’m SOOOO glad we did. our butler Dudi was amazing. EVERYONE. was amazing. the staff here goes above and beyond. our only critique was that (1) the food needed salt - like legit every dish needed salt and (2) the tour when you first arrive was way too long. we were tired and just wanted to unpack and shower while the welcome tour was at least 45 mins. this place is such a hidden gem

    This is a budget 2/3 star hotel so just keep your expectations real. For the reasonable price you get access to the awesome beach, where low tide is not an issue unlike in other parts of the island, full sea view (choose high floor) and spacious room. We stayed with a family of four in 2 interconnected rooms with a fridge and kettle. Modern bathroom, hot water and AC. They have their own generator so you still have electricity and water during shut downs. Great hospitality - thank you Alexey!

    Very large property with amenities such as volleyball playground. Staff was brilliant. Many beach beds to choose from. European room standards - very good ventilation, isolating materials. I’ve stayed in a couple other hotels in Zanzibar for 100$ a night which looked more authentic, more African, but after a while one could feel a humid and conversations of neighbours. That was only hotel I slept well. That’s nice to see wooden huts on the beach, not necessarily staying in overnight 😇

    Good hotel with good facilities. The man in charge is wonderful at helping you with every need and all the staff is so friendly and fun! Great place for the full moon parties at Kendwa Rocks as it is a very short distance to the beach. It is included sun beds and pool at the beach which is a big plus! Stayed there two times already in a month, will definitely come back!

    We really enjoyed our stay at Varadero Zanzibar Hotel & Restaurant! The rooms was clean, food was excellent and offered a nice variety, and the staff were so friendly and it was easy to communicate with them in English and French. The hotel's closeness to the beach was the major perk! The beach was fabulously clean and quiet. We can't wait to be back next year!

    We really liked the quiet & serene location of the hotel on Kendwa beach. Would definitely go back. The breakfast was our favourite meal of the day!! Comfortable and adequate rooms. Karim, Farooq and the hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. Families, solo travellers and couples...all seemed to comfortably stay there!!

    Very friendly, helpful and amazing staff with an interest in clients (in the restaurant Gift, Laurent, Edina, Emmanuel and in the kitchen Michael), perfect location with good access to the sea, clean room, comfortable bed. If we visit Zanzibar again we would stay at the same hotel. Thanks for everything.

    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.

    We liked this hotel a lot. The beach is great, the best on Zanzibar. The rooms are spacious, clean, quiet and romantic with a balcony and palms in front. Very close to the beach. The restaurant at the beach is fine, tasty food and quite a good choice. Everybody speaks English.
