Our paradise
Pros:

Kuwa Zanzibar was an unforgettable slice of paradise for us. After our flight was cancelled, we had to book a hotel for the night, and both we and our friends completely fell in love with the place. It is just a few steps from the beach, featuring a wonderful pool surrounded by lush greenery and the relaxing sound of birds. The breakfast was exquisite—honestly the best we’ve had on the island. The chef prepares everything fresh, including some incredibly soft croissants. The staff are so welcoming; we had a great time with them and truly felt at home. Without a doubt, this is where we will be staying for our future Zanzibar holidays!

Gran lugar para quedarse
Pros:

La habitación era muy amplia
El desayuno tenía huevos,frutas, cookies y facturas a la francesa riquísimas que es difícil de encontrar.
La pileta se puede usar todo el día, hasta por la noche.
Hay restaurantes a pasos y es silencioso.
Si bien no está sobre la playa está muy cerca.
Hay heladera y para hacer café o té.
El personal es super atento. Se siente un ambiente familiar y comprometido.
Te dan las toallas para la playa y en el restaurante de la playa y al lado hacen un pulpo a las brasas riquísimo.

Cons:

Me pareció todo muy bueno.

Great property by the beach and favolosa host
Pros:

The rooms were large, new and pretty. The entire environment was friendly and well decorated but mostly the people. All of them, very special. Made everyone feel comfortable and pampered. Angelica is an incredible host. I’m dairy free and they went looking for soy milk for me. Everyone really went out of their way to create the best atmosphere for all guests.

Cons:

Nothing
