It's hard to find the right words to describe our 6-night stay at the Kendwa Crystal Coast Hotel. The tranquility of the setting and the kindness of the staff made our vacation unforgettable. Iunes, I hope the name is correct, the hostess was so thoughtful she even changed the mattress that was too hard for my back. Chatting with her about the life of the Zanzibari people was truly pleasant and interesting. As everyone has said, the rooms are spotless, the breakfast is typical and good, and the beach is a 15-minute walk away, along a slightly bumpy road but full of local life. Thank you very much for everything. (For an umbrella and two sunbeds, at the end of the road there's the Sunset restaurant, where you spend $10, which you can then deduct for food.)

i have been to more than 40 countries, lots and lots of hotels, but this one is unlike any other - the jewel of this hotel is its stuff. we spent 14 days here as a family of 4 and enjoyed everything. room was quite comfortable, clean, was cleaned everyday also. it was january 7 th, the day we celebrate christmas in orthodox christian countries, and the hotel gifted us a tour to Nakupenda island, we did not expect that and were very greatful for the amazing gift. you will not regret staying here, very close to the beach and restaurants, breakfast was normal ( not a lot of variety, but you will not stay hungry), stuff - excellent, special thanks to Maryam and everyone else. if we ever go back to Zanzibar, this is the hotel we shall stay again. great value for the price

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to...

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Great location on the beach, very nice and friendly staff, large rooms, beautiful grounds with many coconut palms Unfortunately, there is a lot of small plastic waste and cigarette butts on the beach near the beach chairs. Noise, pollution and danger from reckless jet ski drivers. DANGEROUS & Pollution

A great budget option in Kendwa. The main thing I understand in Zanzibar is that you need the hotel with the own access to beach, since the roads here is not good. The Mano meet this important rule. Also there is a fish market further in beach. Every day we bought the fresh fish on market and guys in hotel cooked it for us. It was very delicious. It's not a all-inclusive Turkey hotel, but the best option for Africa, if you came here for climate and beach.

perfect location on the best beach in zanzibar. Beautiful:) loads of activities like boat trips, hair braiding, spa treatments, and all the water sports. not to mention the incredible sunset. We got the bungalow, right next to the beach with a plunge pool, and enjoyed it throughly. If we come back to zanzibar, will definitely book that kind of room again.
