Magnifique séjour et un service au top grâce à Asia !
Pros:

Nous avons passé 3 nuits formidables à Kendwa Rocks. Le cadre est magnifique et le personnel est aux petits soins. Nous tenons tout particulièrement à souligner le service exceptionnel d'Asia, la serveuse au niveau de la piscine. Toujours souriante, attentionnée et professionnelle, elle a vraiment sublimé notre expérience au bord de la piscine !

wir waren nur für drei Nächte dort. Hatten aber insgesamt einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt direkt an einem wunderschönen Strand. Das Frühstück war ok.

Cons:

Insgesamt war mir die gesamte Anlage zu groß. Das Essen war für unseren Geschmack eher mittelmäßig. Es gibt aber genug Restaurants in der Nähe, so dass man auf jeden Fall etwas richtig Gutes finden kann.

Pros:

Everything was absolutely amazing! The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. A special thanks to Omar at the reception, as well as Halima, Vincent, and Abdullah from the restaurant, for their excellent service and warm hospitality.
The sunbeds were always available and very comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time.
Thank you for making our stay such a wonderful experience. We truly appreciate everything and would happily come back again!

Wieder sehr erholsame Tage mit viel Spaß
Pros:

Wir waren das dritte Jahr hintereinander im Kendwa Rocks. Kendwa ist wohl der schönste Strand auf Sansibar. Frühstück könnte etwas abwechslungsreicher sein aber alles in allem ist das Angebot ausreichend. Die Bungalows sind sehr geräumig und haben separates Bad und WC. Das Personal ist immer gut gelaunt, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Cocktails an der Strandbar sind wesentlich besser als die am Abend an der Haupt Bar. Es wird von Jahr zu Jahr immer modernisiert und das Angebot um neue Themen erweitert. Beim Cocktail Crafting hätte ich mir gewünscht das der Chef Barkeeper das geleitet hätte aber wir hatten trotzdem Spaß.

Cons:

Der neue Wasserfall auf dem Weg von der Rezeption zum Strand sieht zwar schön aus aber mit Gepäck etwas ungünstig

Un hôtel avec un bon rapport qualité prix avec un accès à une belle plage !
Pros:

Le lieu est idéal ! L’accès à la plage est génial !
La nourriture est bonne et les prix très correctes !
Le decor est top et les chambres (bungalow) sont spacieuses.
Nous avons eu une attention chaque jour pour notre lune de miel avec des fleurs et des décorations!
Merci pour ça.

Cons:

Le personnel est agréable mais débordé souvent et le service est long voir très long parfois !!!
Le petit déjeuner n’est pas bon par contre pas variés (beaucoup de pain peu de fruit et les mêmes chaque jours quand il y en a). Un peu déçu sur ce point.
Les soirées full moon sont vraiment simpa mais svp changez de dj !!!!
