I had a great experience in this hotel. The hotel itself is very new, and you can see that in nicely decorated spacious room with quality furnitures and lots of shelves and racks that are more than enough to store your extra stuff. Room was very clean, housekeeping was professional during my stay. Breakfast was great, wifi was strong enough to browse and check your emails. They even have a generator for power outages that are very common in Kendwa. 10 min walk to beach, which is not big deal, you even find a chance to grab a few groceries at a local store on your way back to hotel. Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and always available to ask anything. They even let me check out after 5pm in my last day which made my day so easy as my flight was late in night. I will definitely book Crystal Coast again in my next visit to Kendwa.

Location: Excellent beach location. Few things to do or see in Kendwa village but this didn’t bother us. Room: Spacious room for a family of 3 and spacious bad. No wardrobe but this seems to be the standard for many hotels on the island. Excellent cleaning services and extremely friendly, polite and professional staff. Reception: Excellent service. They helped us order several trips and everything was excellent. Restaurant. We paid for half board: Breakfast: Almost the same choices each day. A bit boring but Ok, with freshly baked items each day, pancakes, omelets and fruit plates.The service is without doubt good. We had to pay 2$ pr. breakfast box that doesn’t include any drinks. Food and drinks during the day: Prices are in USD and are almost the same as in other similar places. We were happy with the service. Dinner: Menu with different choices every evening. The food is tasty and the portions are big. Good and quick service. Colleagues who stayed in the neighboring The Rock came to eat lunch and dinner in The Sunset hotel restaurant because they liked better both the food and the service. When we moved to Tembo Hotel in Zanzibar city we also got something to compare with and already miss the food from The Sunset. Overall a great hotel, with beautiful gardens, spacious rooms and great people. They need only to work out a good concept for any dinner events to avoid dissatisfaction among customers who have paid for half board.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were always friendly and welcoming, and our room was very clean. Having our own private pool was a big plus, and it was regularly maintained. We also felt very safe as the hotel’s security was well managed with staff patrolling the area. The location made it easy to reach many things, and every morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with a stunning terrace view. In the evenings, we had dinner at the hotel’s beachfront restaurant, where the food was tasty and the ambiance was perfect. Thanks to the hotel’s great location, the sea was calm with little tide, which made swimming even more enjoyable. Overall, we truly enjoyed our holiday. The hotel itself was so nice that we spent a lot of time there as well. Definitely a great value for money and highly recommended!

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to...

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Great location on the beach, very nice and friendly staff, large rooms, beautiful grounds with many coconut palms Unfortunately, there is a lot of small plastic waste and cigarette butts on the beach near the beach chairs. Noise, pollution and danger from reckless jet ski drivers. DANGEROUS & Pollution

Whilst beach front, it is only a 5 mins walk along the coast to enjoy the best beach in Zanzibar so we did most of our swimming there. The rooftop breakfast area had amazing views of sunset and sunrise and amazing value for money. Allowed us to check in early and checkout late and the staff were lovely.
