We really loved staying here! First time I was there was with my family and this time I came with my boyfriend and it was just fantastic. Amazing quiet beach with hammocks and swings (no beach boys), delicious food (try the king prawns) and the girls at the spa gave us such an amazing couple massage! Our highlights were the safari that the front desk manager arranged for us and the dance shows that were part of the evening entertainment. Such a beautiful place, we will come back asap!!

The food was amazing and plentiful. Huge choice for breakfast. Fresh juice. Dinner options with cold beer. Rooms, pool and property clean. The beach was stunning, with amazing sunrises.

Highly recommended if you want a more intimate great value holiday.

This was an amazing surprise! Location, staff, food… the food at the PoaPoa restaurant, OMG! Soooo delicious! I had book a bigger hotel to stay in Kiwengwa but at the end we changed for a smaller and cozy place. Why? It’s prefect to rest peacefully and enjoy the beach.

this is by far the best place Ive stayed- not just in zanzibar but everywhere!! the staffs were extremely kind from the moment I came. when I entered the room, I could not believe my eyes!!! just like in the movies when you step out of the balcony and you see the beautiful waters. truly wild experience. the next day, when I wanted to do a quick breakfast before checking out 15 minutes later, they told me “pole pole” and I have never ever ever gotten such treatment before. I know pole pole has been a characteristic ingrained within tanzanians but for a resort business, it was still crazy amazing that i was told to take my time. i am truly touched by their kindness. dont think twice. come here!!!! ill be back for real

It was honestly one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The food, the staff, the location, and just everything was perfection. I never needed to leave and it was so hard to depart. It was an incredible experience.

Really enjoyed my stay at Zanzibar Lodge! The place is very nice, with big, comfortable rooms. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I loved having the animals around. The location is great too, just a short walk to the beach and main road. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for anyone visiting the area

As a guest at Shirley's we loved the great service and cleanliness of the rooms. The best thing is the close access to the beach and it's facilities. As a couple we share a birthday and we chose to celebrate it in zanzibar at Shirley's Residence. Shirley's made us a romantic set up by the beach and the chef prepared a delicious 4 course meal. The best part was the birthday cake which was enough to share with other guests...it was the best celebration ever. They really made us part of their family. We will forever be grateful. The management continues to work with us regarding everything we need from them, and in Zanzibar even when back home.

    The location was breathtaking, felt like you are in paradise. Kiwengwa Beach resort is great for everyone, especially for famalies. So much to do at the resort from swimming in 1 of 3 pools or ocean, playing volleyball, tennis, planned activities in the day, shows at night etc. The staff from management, to waiters, kitchen, housekeeping, gardeners, animation team - everyone was super friendly and accommodating. Variety of delicious food options.

    After an easy-peasy pickup from the ferry in Stone Town, we arrived at the Villa to be welcomed by a super friendly team and a romantic seafood dinner set for us right on the beach. It was perfection from the first moment! We spent a relaxing weekend enjoying the pool, walking on the beach, playing games, swimming in the ocean and eating the delicious food prepared by the Chef. We felt safe, pampered and well taken care of. Mr. Davies made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back!

    The hotel is located at the quieter end of the beach and room was located right on the beach so it felt like you had your own private beach. We really liked the front patio and hammock.

    We liked everything, from the wonderful, smiling and always helpful hosts and staff, through the amazing space around the hotel, wonderful massages, to the restaurant, the view of the ocean and our favorite outdoor bed right on the beach. It was a pleasure to spend a week of our vacation there, we felt like at home. We hope that we will be able to return there again.

    Unlike most other resorts this one is right on the beach, there is no barrier between you and the ocean. And since it’s a small place the beach vendors (who are everywhere on every beach in Zanzibar) tend to focus on the beach stretches of the bigger resorts. This is a huge advantage. Food is great, staff is friendly and welcoming. Walking up and down the beach it was super evident that this is the best place for kilometers both up and down the beach.

    The first thing I want to mention is the lovely staff, very friendly and attentive. Location right on the beach. You can watch the views of the ocean, having breakfast or relaxing on a sunbed. Good cuisine at reasonable prices in the hotel restaurant. So, if you are looking for an atmosphere of complete relaxation and tranquility, this is the right choice.
