Amazing location, right on the beach with beautiful sunset. Also sunset dhow boats leave from the beach here. Good menu and food.

The only thing that needs improvement is the logistics of the serving of food. It was unreasonably long waiting times for all meals. Could not observe it was lack of staff, but it looked like many guest experienced the same problem.

The room was very nice, perfect size with an amazing super king size bed, extremely comfortable. The resort was quiet, we could sleep very well at night, relaxing, no noises, it was fantastic. The beach was big and clean, with service available at your umbrella. The staff was extremely nice and polite, they really made our holiday.

The management of our “FULL BOARD”, which was not clear at all. It was comprised of 1 starter, 1 main, 1 dessert and 1 soft drink per person. We had a limited choice from the menu, meaning that certain dishes were not included in our full board, and if we wanted to try, we had to pay. Similarly, on Saturday night the management organised a barbecue buffet, but even there with the full board, we could only have either 1 starter and 1 main or 1 main and 1 dessert, and of course, we could not choose everything from the menu, because the best dishes were not included.

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.

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.

Perfect location on the nice Kendwa beach where is possible to swim in the sea (ocean) during low tide. Many restaurants nearby the accommodation (we recommend Furaha restaurant). Area of hotel is guarded 24/7 by security and hotel reception is also 24/7. Sunbeds and umbrellas are free for accommodated guests. Tasty breakfasts served by buffet with all you can imagine. Very helpful and smiley staff. Clean and equiped room with A/C, fridge, hairdrier, safe.

Sometimes long time of waiting for beach food/drinks service - mainly during lunch time. Strange system of payment in cash by main cashier - means staff get money, have to go like 200m to main cashier for change and came back to you = it take quite a time. Lot of "outsiders" guests from other hotels coming to beach sunbed area - paid fee and spend day in there = quite crowded in the afternoon.

The location, it’s central, has a lot of activities and family friendly.

Breakfast has limited options that run out quickly, rooms don’t have irons so I had to take my clothes to reception and they burnt my jumpsuit 🥲. Restaurant has a very boring menu and catch of the day was tuna for the whole week, so we ended up having to go look for food at nearby restaurants. Local boys at the beach are annoying. Housekeeping is slow and only come around late in the afternoon.

Was very clean , comfortable and spacious

The room was way nicer than it looked in the photos and the food was fast and very tasty. Of course the beach was beautiful. Facilities outstanding. The massage from Amina was exceptionally good.

Staff gave me wrong information at reception and said I could sign for everything when in fact I had to pay for everything there and then. Room attendant walked into my room without knocking. And a waiter was very rude. Staff need to know that some guests speak and understanding swahili and can hear Staff talking about them.

Direct on beautiful beach and sunset, locals do shows at the beach most of the time. Beautiful decorated rooms. Stuff helpful special thanks to Alfred.

Many locals at the beach will try to sell you their stuff which little bit annoying. The hotel restaurant price is way expensive than outside restaurants. Swimming pool is small and not heated. All the room pillows are large size and they don’t have small once. No kids activities beside the pool and the beach sand.

Our room was lovely and the location is beautiful.

Staff can be a little slow
