Kendwa Crystal Coast Hotel

It's hard to find the right words to describe our 6-night stay at the Kendwa Crystal Coast Hotel. The tranquility of the setting and the kindness of the staff made our vacation unforgettable. Iunes, I hope the name is correct, the hostess was so thoughtful she even changed the mattress that was too hard for my back. Chatting with her about the life of the Zanzibari people was truly pleasant and interesting. As everyone has said, the rooms are spotless, the breakfast is typical and good, and the beach is a 15-minute walk away, along a slightly bumpy road but full of local life. Thank you very much for everything. (For an umbrella and two sunbeds, at the end of the road there's the Sunset restaurant, where you spend $10, which you can then deduct for food.)

We stayed at Sand and Sunset and had such a wonderful experience. First of all, a huge thank you to the staff – they made us feel welcome and cared for from the very beginning. A young bartender and the lovely girl working at the bar were always kind, friendly, and full of positive energy. I also want to give special thanks to the pregnant woman at reception – she was incredibly caring and helpful when I had a wound and needed assistance. Her kindness truly meant a lot. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh, and everything in the restaurant was served with great attention to quality. The rooms were cleaned very thoroughly, and we really appreciated how tidy and well-maintained everything was. One small detail that could be improved was the toilet with a window facing another property, which felt like it lacked a bit of privacy. But honestly, this was a minor detail compared to everything else. I truly recommend Sand and Sunset, especially because of the amazing staff – their warmth and hospitality made our stay memorable. Thank you for everything! 🌴

Had a lovely stay here. It feels very friendly due to the low number of houses, so people become familiar and you feel part of the place. It also feels more local, you are amongst the shops and streets and not just isolated in a hotel. Truda and Alex were so helpful and friendly! great breakfeast, great stay...great coffee from Truda ;-) Overall we had a lovely time. It is a 7min walk from beach but I liked that because I got local cassava chips or had a beer from the local store and enjoyed my walk! and they have a dog called Beauty!

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...

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

This is by far the best resort in Zanzibar, everything was beyond our expectations. The beach and the views are absolutely incredible, very rich breakfast, extremely delicious food, very clean and luxurious villa and everything is TOP!!! The fire on the beach at sunset is brilliant and we felt very safe, the staff is really doing their best. Your only regret will be when you leave. PS: we really loved yoga with Claudia

It was the hotel that served the best breakfast I have seen in Zanzibar so far. Both the food and drinks were delicious. The rooms were small but clean and useful. The air conditioner was working smoothly. You can fill your water from the water dispenser near your room
