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.

I have stayed before a year ago, and stayed in the forest room this time, which was renovated and so fresh and slick inside. The beach is amazing at low and high tide, and those magical sunsets. The staff down in the restaurant and bar are amazing so attentive and friendly and that bar on the beach is lovely.

    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.

    Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday.

    Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday. This is the only area bot effected by tides. The beach is wonderful and offers great places to eat. Kendwa rocks offers a great BBQ with live entertainment on Saturdays.

    - huge villas with two private pools and a big washroom overlooking the bay - 50 acres full of tropical plants with only 15 villas make the place very intimate - the food is the best probably in the whole Zanzibar..the chef prepares everyday a new menu both for lunch and dinner - the staff is extremely kind and helpful. You will be assigned a private butler who will fulfill all your desires - private beach with huge sunbeds and kayaks to use

    We stayed at Gold Zanzibar for 3 nights. It is a beautiful resort in an amazing location right on Kendwa beach. The food was incredible and the buffets had so many options. The pool was nice and there was also a spa that had a great deal on some of their treatments. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was lovely, with beautiful balcony views.

    We really liked the quiet & serene location of the hotel on Kendwa beach. Would definitely go back. The breakfast was our favourite meal of the day!! Comfortable and adequate rooms. Karim, Farooq and the hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. Families, solo travellers and couples...all seemed to comfortably stay there!!

    It's a nice not too big hotel and all the rooms are walking distance to its restaurant. Rooms are big, clean and comfortable. The all-inclusive is in fact partially all-inclusive, which you find out when you read the bar menu. So, if this is important in making your choices, keep this in mind. Hotel staff is very friendly.

    The beach was nice, but a little bit dirty. The sea is near from the hotel and you can swim there during all day, so it’s perfect. It’s not normal on Zanzibar. this is a huge advantage. The breakfast and dinner are on the beach. About 60 meters from the hotel. Swimming pool is also on the beach.

    It was the hotel that served the best breakfast I have seen in Zanzibar so far. Both the food and drinks were delicious. The rooms were small but clean and useful. The air conditioner was working smoothly. You can fill your water from the water dispenser near your room
