My stay at Kendwa Rocks Hotel was absolutely perfect, with a beautiful beach, great service, and no negative moments at
Pros:

Stayed at Kendwa Rocks Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely beautiful — right on a stunning white-sand beach with crystal-clear water. The atmosphere was relaxing and vibrant at the same time. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile.

The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Breakfasts were delicious, and the restaurant had a great variety of food and drinks. The sunsets here are unforgettable.

This hotel is perfect for both relaxing and enjoying Zanzibar’s nightlife and activities. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zanzibar

Cons:

Nothing

Momentos Memoráveis.
Pros:

Localização

Cons:

Menu de Pequeno almoço muito limitado e repetitivo.
Arroz branco para acompanhar os pratos sem molho ( penso que podiam oferecer arroz de vegetais).
No caso de arroz branco deveria ser servido sempre com uma salada inclusive, e não a parte.

Perfect place for a mid week stay to relax, unwind and enjoy the gorgeous setting
Pros:

During the week, the resort is awesome, beach is clean soft sand and the water is beautiful. Beach activities nearby if you wish. Concierge really helpful in booking taxi services and excursions. Really enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

Stragglers from the full moon party make the resort more full and the staff less enthusiastic. Luckily it was just for one day though.
