Natural Kendwa Villa, hotel in Kendwa

Natural Kendwa Villa has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a terrace and restaurant in Kendwa. Featuring a bar, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom....

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.

    Absolutely amazing place to stay in the beautiful beach of Kendwa. Ali, Manuel and Flavia are the best hosts you could ask for in Zanzibar. The food is simply delicious. From breakfast to lunch, dinner and special theme nights, it was always a yummy experience on a cozy terrace with stunning views. The room was spacious, clean with a great view. The staff and the general atmosphere made us feel welcome and comfortable at all times.

    Amazing hotel, spacious rooms, perfect view and beach, feels like a dream. The staff was pampering and super friendly. Since we keep Kosher, the manager and the chef approached us and kindly offered to prepare special dishes for us. They even offered to make us sandwiches for the travel on the morning we left. The food was the best we had in Zanzibar. It was hard to leave the hotel, we will definitely come back.

    The staff was so helpful, we arrived at midnight and they were waiting for us to greet us and show us the amenities offered by the hotel. The management went above and beyond to make sure we spent a lovely vacation. The rooms were clean, the food was top notch, and the view was AMAZING!! You cannot beat the location of Lazy Beach hotel, especially the breathtaking views from the rooftop restaurant.

    Such an amazing Zanzibar atmosphere of relaxation. Bungalow with a luxurious terrace (two tables, a sofa, chairs, a sunbed). Spacious room, closet, modern plumbing. Spacious shower room. Wonderful hostess, wonderful breakfast at a time convenient for you. There is a restaurant nearby, shops and the beach within walking distance. I would have gladly stayed longer.

    Probably the best hotel in Zanzibar, The big benefit is the ability to swim independently of the low/high tide, which is differ from other hotels on the west coast. Great breakfast, excellent beach bar with various programs. good number of sunbeds on the beach and near the pool. we will come back. Thanks for the great tour via Hotel Spice Garden!

    • The location of the SunSeaBar hotel is truly spectacular, with immediate access to the pristine waters of the Zanzibar channel. • The hotel features a great pool, sun loungers, and a restaurant. • The hotel was very clean, and housekeeping did a great job throughout, giving public areas and corridors a pleasant fresh smell.

    This is the best hotel in Zanzibar : we stayed in 5 different hotels during our stay in Tanzania and this one is undoubtedly the best. The location of the hotel is beautiful, the view is great, and the staff is top-notch. The food is excellent, especially the seafood pasta, a delight. I recommend this hotel 1000%

    Kendwa beach is very nice and the hotel is located directly at the beach near Kendwa Rocks. Good restaurants are nearby. As there is no swimming area, everybody must swim between the boats, which come close and also directly to the beach. This is quite dangerous.
