It is very well thought! The rooms have everything that you need during a vacation by the ocean and you feel like home. There were many people home working there, too! I think it is perfect for a digital nomad.

Everything was perfect. Hotel nice and clean. The food was delicious, and drinks well prepared. However, the staff at the hotel are beyond perfection. The care of preparing your bed while you are having a delicious dinner before you go to sleep, the smile of all the staff every single day, asking how was your night, if you had a great day. They are the cherry on the top of the hotel! Wonderful!

I stayed in Nungwi and Kendwa, and this is the best hotel and beach in that area for sure. Clean. Spacious. Best view on Kendwa beach and sunset. Nice breakfast. They have a fridge and kettle with tea in the room. A generator if there is no electricity. Owner Alex is often there, and he is very friendly and helpful. He can navigate you around and suggest the best option for every need. Really, this is the best place in that area for this money (especially if you are seeking an awesome view of the sea and sunset). Totally recommend.

I recently stayed at Sand and Sunset (Kendwa) and I can confidently say it was a great experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure every detail of my stay was perfect. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and well-equipped . The restaurant was good including the breakfast buffet. The location of the hotel was ideal, 2nd row of the beach. A late check out was made, despite the initial difficulties regarding a availability.

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.

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

The location is excellent , right next to the best beach in Zanzibar . There are several cheap local restaurants and a liquor store next to the hotel. Spacious rooms with a fridge. European style bathroom. Very clean. Nice helpful service. It's very safe here. Breakfast served on the top floor in the hotel restaurant is sufficient (fruit, tea, coffee, juice, eggs). The owner is friendly and communicative. You can pay by credit card. Wifi works flawlessly.

Such an amazing Zanzibar atmosphere of relaxation. Bungalow with a luxurious terrace (two tables, a sofa, chairs, a sunbed). Spacious room, closet, modern plumbing. Spacious shower room. Wonderful hostess, wonderful breakfast at a time convenient for you. There is a restaurant nearby, shops and the beach within walking distance. I would have gladly stayed longer.

Location is good, not on the main beach but only a short walk to it. The beach directly in front of the hotel is main where locals park their boats. We stayed in 3 hotels between Kendwa and Nungwi beach. This was the best value for money hotel. It’s not expensive and the hotel reflected that but we’re not mad about this at all.
