My stay was perfect, in all possible aspects. Good location, on Nungwi road, quite easy to find, very convenient if you want to take boda boda or taxi to Nungwi beach, or other parts of island. Place is in Kendwa, thus Kendwa beach it is around 6 min walk, also very close to Kendwa main restaurant street. Staff is professional, friendly, welcoming, helpful, they made my stay lovely, also I felt safe during my stay. Food was exceptional, they take care of every detail. Room was spacious, clean, every unit has small private patio, nicely decorated, where I was able to have coffee and relax, enjoy beautiful garden. The pictures you see is exactly what you get. For me it was very important that I have good wifi, clean space, hot water, and no moldy areas in room. I would gladly repeat my stay here.

Pretty much a resort. Private huge area, beautiful gardening. Restaurant. Private beach with sunbeds where you won't be bothered. Amazing beach. You never have to leave unless you want to. AMAZING sunsets. Make sure to walk along the beach towards sunset and sit down and just be in the moment surrounded by other visitors and the local folks.

Extremely friendly staff. If you are looking for good food around dont miss the local restaurant on the roof top! Staff is preparing everything excelelntly. If you bring fruit from local market it is also not a problem. Breakfast is very healthy and good quality variety of fruits, eggs or pencakes with local jam.

    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.

    Kendwa being on the north side of the island and close to Nungwi is great for travellers who enjoy a festive party vibe ,there are many pubs and resorts that are always having fun functions, there are many water activerties to enjoy eg: sailing, fishing, diving, kayaking,snorkling and many more, Kendwa also bosts a sky diving club and horse riding,for those who enjoy self driving the roads are in good condition from Stone Town I would however sadjest using the back route via Tunguu excellent roads and sceanic forestation.

    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...

    This Hotel was good for 3 reasons: * Mustafa - what an absolutely nice host and excellent manager. He went above and beyond and was available via whatsapp to answer questions about literally everything. Great guy, Thank you, Mustafa. * Air Conditioning - Zanzibar is hot. HOT! And the much need air conditioning is there for you. It is very powerful and had no outages. What a blessing. * Security - I felt rather safe inside the building.

    This little gem near the beach is a must stay if you like to have peace and quiet, a place to cook, and a swim at the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. It was a great value for the money. The staff is incredible, Patrick, Mohamed and Tulsi make a beautiful team to make you feel like family. Wonderful breakfast every morning. Safe, comfortable and beautiful. I will definitely come back. Thank you. I will miss you all!!

    Breakfast at Kendwa Breeze were the best we had anywhere on Zanzibar! Staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the puppy (but were disappointed that Scooby, the original dog, wasn't there too). General vibe was peaceful and relaxed - a nice change of pace from the beaches at Nungwi.
