Kendwa Rocks Beach Hotel

The beach is AMAZING. If you walk down you get to see the most amazing view ever During the full moon party the restaurant was almost not working all day after breakfast and I was starving and the buffet on the full moon party day was so bad in terms of variety and taste and even concept like it is not an “open buffet”

NASTY OVERPRICED 1.5 star Nasty dated property Prostitution is present Urine on toilet Bed bugs

excellent facilities on a gorgeous beach. the team has anticipated your needs and prepared. it's also an excellent place to celebrate your birthday as the team makes you feel special. though it was raining for the majority of my stay, that didnt dampen my spirits. we still enjoyed lounging by the beachfront restaurant and the spa facilities. cant think of anything

The hotel has an exceptionally nice beach, and the staff is super attentive and very, very friendly. Breakfast is nice and the rooms are spacious. The hotel was on the renovation, and the gym was closed, which the Property did not tell us

Room, Beach and Staff were super, The staff, and in particular - Mariam, Hussein, Tungi and Magreth turned our stay into a super experience that we will always cherish. The Beach is the best I have seen, so white and clean. Not much. Great value for money generally. Breakfast could have more protein and variety.

BREAKFAST WAS GOOD.

all perfect. A special thanks to Guest Relation personnel. ,they are doin great job.

The white beach, the turquoise water and the dolphins, fish and turtles were unforgettable. The staff that accompanied us on our multiple tours was exceptional for our two girls of 5 and 7 years old. They managed to make inspiring their first snorkling experience, after their initial doubts. Thank you for that! The other hotel staff served us well. The rooms were pleasant and we appreciated the swimming pool with its floating devices and its shallow stools next to the bar. I would have liked that the Kwenda Rocks Beach hotel provides me with the invoice for the accommodation. I had been in touch with the hotel directly and sent them 30% of their invoice. Then the hotel told me that it had been taken care of. I realised later that it had been paid through booking.com. At this stage I have never received any such invoice from booking.com. It confused me, as I was not back in Switzerland.

Nice place with good location There was a bad smell and a lot of flys in the restaurants

Food was just ok

The beach was clean and had a designated area to swim. Security kept the annoying beach boys away with only limited ones promoting their tours. The breakfast was sufficient with an open-air sitting area. The place was affordable at $203 for a basic room without any view, but we enjoyed the amenities the resort had to offer. The gym and pool were small, but adequate. The resort is starting to look dated as it has been around for a while. But it's the most affordable one if you still want the resort vibe and facilities for Zanzibar. I'm a vegetarian, so I had no problems with the food. But my friend had poor quality chicken and other foods. The pineapple juice we ordered was mixed with water, as a means to save money, so in my opinion, they offered poor quality food options. According to my friend, the rice was not fresh and the chicken was tough to chew and tasteless.

The property is beautifully landscaped with floral gardens. Check in was fine. Lots of areas to relax with beach umbrellas, covered lounge areas, eating spots by the beach. Firstly the room we booked was a superior king room. The room was far below the spaciousness and impression from the photos on your website. I compared our room to your add. Our bathroom was just a toilet and sink- no towel far/hook, no shelf, French glass door so I could see my partner on the toilet. There was a separate shower around the other corner of the unit. I complained to management on 2nd day of our three night stay. They said they have 50+ superior king rooms and they don’t all look the same. I showed him pictures to compare. He gave me free dinner credit. I did not want to replace and unpack in new room on this last stop on our holiday. They were very full, could not supply 2nd room key. Secondly the staff seem apathetic. They have call buttons on tables and beach locations - staff slow to respond, take ages to return drinks/ food often get confused and bring drinks/food to other patrons or leave your order at the serving counter while they appear to congregate and chat. Over slow and unorganized.

The room was nice with good amount of space and a balcony. It has fans and air conditioning. The shower and toilet were in separate rooms with doors. The shower was good with nice shower head and good pressure and warm water. The beach was set up like rows of sardines, not much shade available, the walk from room to the beach was far, the water in the ocean was a bit chilly (we had just come from Jambiani which had very warm ocean water and not crowds on the beach), you can only swim in a small roped off area, the food was very tiny portions, just very much cheap crowded resort feeling, not our vibe, We left after a few hours and did not even stay the night even though we had already paid because we didn't like it.

This was lifechanging experience for us. We enjoyed every minute of this trip. Hotel and staff are super amazing and warm and polite. This was the best hotel that we have been to in our lives. Food was perfect, room was perfect, AC was working correctly, prices in the bar are well suited. Cocktails were amazing (Thank you Hamdi). Staff in restaurant was great and polite and always came to clean tables so there are no flies or bees gathering. Morning meal is placed in separate room so bugs do not enter it. Super clean rooms. 11/10 would recommend. Beach boys can be a bit anoying on beach but they need to earn some money, so its is kinda ok. Some buttons to get service are not working next to umbrellas. Other than that it is perfect hotel that i would recommend to anyone wanting to get winter sun.

This is a large resort, but it doesn't feel like part of a chain. The landscaping is lovely. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is among the best in Zanzibar. The food is nicely presented. My room had been recently redone and was attractive and comfortable. Entertainment in the evening includes both live music/dancing and a nightclub which attracts locals as well as guests. Wifi wasn't always stable.

The staff were very slow, and our order took a long time to arrive. The air conditioning was not effective

Location The common washrooms are always dirty n smelly.

Location Some Indian staff is ok but not professional,

Staff Hasi

The night club music was incredibly loud till way past midnight one night and whilst i complained to the reception no action was taken. This can be a negative for a family with young children, noting that my room was quite far and i could still clearly hear the music beats
