The beachfront location at Sansi Kendwa Beach Resort was beautiful, and the staff were exceptional—our 2-year-old daught
Pros:

What I liked most about the property was its beachfront location at Sansi Kendwa Beach Resort. The resort offers direct access to Kendwa Beach, beautiful ocean views, well-maintained facilities, and a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, and the pool and beach areas were particularly appealing.

What truly stood out was the exceptional staff. We were travelling with our 2-year-old daughter, and she was treated like gold throughout our stay. The team went out of their way to make her feel welcome and cared for, which made a significant difference to our family holiday. Their friendliness, attentiveness, and genuine warmth created a memorable experience and made us feel valued as guests.

Overall, the combination of the stunning location, quality facilities, and outstanding hospitality made our stay very enjoyable.

10/10.
Pros:

We really liked the location. It was in a quiet nook of Kendwa, although we did go in the quiet season so i can imagine it would be busier at other times of the year. The staff were so lovely and the food and facilities were so good, clean and well maintained. We were even upgraded to a sea facing room and the staff also gave us an all inclusive upgrade. We would highly recommend this resort!

Harika konum, mükemmel hizmet….
Pros:

Mükemmel hizmet. Harika konum. İki gece kaldık. Odalar temiz ve büyük. Çalışanlar ilgili ve güleryüzlü. Doğum günümüz olduğunu söylediğimizde hemen toplanıp küçük bir kutlama bile yaptılar. Yemekler lezzetli, açık büfe. Denizin hemen kenarında ve kendi sahili var. Peyzaj harika, odaların önünde balkonları var ve bu evinde hissettiriyor. Her ihtiyacımıza resmen koşturan çalışanların olduğu müthiş bir konumda bulunan otel. Kesinlikle tercih edilmeli. Biz çok memnun kaldık. Teşekkürler Sansi Kendwa

Tolles und persönliches Strandhotel etwas abseits der Touristen-Massen
Pros:

Sehr warmer Empfang, freundlich, herzlich und unkompliziert. Die Anlage ist klein und übersichtlich, dadurch auch sehr persönlich. Wir hatten vom Balkon einen tollen Blick auf den Strand und das Meer.
Hervorragendes Restaurant (Buffet und a la carte), überdacht an der frischen Luft, direkt am Strand.
Der Strand mit vielen Fischerbooten und einheimischem Treiben. Wenige Touristen.

Cons:

Nichts. Es war wirklich schön dort, wir kommen gerne wieder!

this hotel gave us a truly unforgettable holiday. A huge thank you to every single member of the staff for their kindne
Pros:

We had an absolutely amazing stay and were happy with everything from beginning to end. 🌴✨

The rooms were spotless and cleaned perfectly every day. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They truly made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay.

When it comes to the food, you must try the fish dishes — without exaggeration, it was the best fish I have ever eaten in my life. Absolutely unforgettable.

As for the beach, you cannot enter the sea directly in front of the hotel, but after just a few steps, you find yourself in one of the most beautiful oceans in the world. And if you are lucky, you may even see starfish in the water. ⭐️

The level of security was also beyond impressive. You never feel alone anywhere, and if you have any concerns or fears about traveling in Africa, the hotel staff do an incredible job of making you feel safe and relaxed. I have honestly never experienced having someone watching over my safety and belongings while I was swimming in the sea before.

We were also worried about mosquitoes before arriving, but the hotel handled this perfectly as well — every evening they came to our room to do mosquito spraying and make sure we were comfortable.

In short, this hotel gave us a truly unforgettable holiday. A huge thank you to every single member of the staff for their kindness, care, and exceptional hospitality. We will never forget this experience. 💙

Staff excellent 100% - Facility nice 80% - Food average 50%
Pros:

We received a fairly nice discount due to off season which was pleasant.....
The local staff are wonderful and ever helpful - for me the staff were the best thing.....

Cons:

The food was ordinary - I know it was off season but still very expensive ($30 USD pp) for a buffet with rice & basic vegetables - very little protein options.

Buen hotelito pequeño
Pros:

Hotelito pequeño situado en frente de un embarcadero de barquitos pequeños. Caminando a 3 minutos por la misma zona hay playas donde bañarse.
Nuestra habitación estaba muy bien (algunos arreglos menores) pero en general bien. La cama y almohadas eran muy cómodas, el A/A funcionaba bien y tenía mosquitera. Limpieza muy buena.
En general el alojamiento estaba cuidado y limpio pero como digo, algunas zonas les haría falta más mantenimiento/reformas.
La comida buena (algunos días mejor que otras) pero si que eché en falta más variedad.
El personal es encantador, desde recepción hasta los camareros, los maasai que protegen el alojamiento y el chico de animación (hay actividades diarias gratis). Era nuestra luna de miel y nos hicieron una cena la última noche en la playa, un gesto que nos gustó mucho. Lo recomendamos si buscas un hotel más familiar y pequeño que no un resort.

Cons:

Faltaría más mantenimiento/reformas en general, aunque cada día iban cuidándolo.
Un gym, aunque sea pequeño, no le iría nada mal.

Great place - not too big, offers cultural immersion.
Pros:

Restaurant staff was very friendly, especially Catherine. And Captain Henry was an amazing guide on the tour to Mnemba Island. The entertainment program was generous. The beach gave a close-up into the community rituals.

Cons:

The food was good, but lacked a strong local taste. I wasn't sure how to handle the room windows - sometimes reflective but in the evening I felt like you could see through the windows. The door lock was not very secure.
