Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an incredible little gem Kidoti Bay is.

We stayed for just two nights, but from the moment we arrived we felt completely at home. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind.

The food was absolutely outstanding – every meal was delicious and prepared with so much care. What really made our stay special, though, was the warmth of the staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly and welcoming, and nothing was ever too much trouble.

A very special thank you to Sia, the manager, who went out of her way to make our stay memorable. Her kindness, attention to detail, and passion for creating a wonderful guest experience shines through in everything she does.

We were lucky enough to be upgraded to an ocean-view room, and waking up to the ocean each morning was magical. Watching the sunset from our bed, with the colours reflecting across the water, was one of those moments we'll never forget. It felt incredibly romantic and reminded us why we fell in love with Zanzibar in the first place.

Thank you to the entire Kidoti Bay team for making our stay so special. We arrived as guests and left feeling like friends. We can't wait to return ❤️

Cons:

We didn't want to leave this beautiful piece of Paradise.

A chill-out and pleasant spot with limited kids activities within and around, still worth visiting
Pros:

The breakfast was suprisingly good, you can select from multiple options but all of them were pretty good and quickly served. I appreciate a very good coffee. Air conditioning in the room was working fine, cocktails in the bar were very good and the personnel was extremely friendly and helpful. There was plenty of space everywhere to chill out and read a book or whatever.

Cons:

The location is quite remote and there is no beach around but it was clearly stated and we knew it so no surprises here but its a limitation. If you want to enjoy the beach you gotta take a taxi. There was some noisy construction work in the morning during first two days of our stay (note that after our intervention management has adjusted the hours). I believe this place would really benefit from some activity area that would engage kids a bit more, maybe small court to play soccer/volleyball, table tennis or anything like that. Since there is no beach there is no dedicated place for activities and kids were getting bored outside of pool.

We hebben genoten en we hadden graag langer gebleven!
Pros:

De ligging aan de zee was fantastisch. Je waant je in een klein paradijs waar je niks hoeft, behalve relaxen. Het eten, zowel ontbijt als diner is fantastisch en daarbij ook niet duur. Lief en behulpzaam personeel maakte ons verblijf helemaal af. Wij hebben genoten!

Cons:

De accommodatie is wat lastig te vinden op Google Maps.
