Located on Kendwa Beach, the oasis of luxury that is Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa offers guests stylish, individually decorated accommodation with a terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean or garden. It features a restaurant, bar and an outdoor pool with tropical garden surroundings.

Everything, the service, the staff but most of all the food was exceptional. The depth, breadth, quality and sheer variety and extent of the food was extraordinary - we loved the meals particularly the gala night. A perfect hotel.

    The hotel has a perfect location in Kendwa Beach, the room was always cleaned and the breakfast was very good. Most of the staff was nice, smiling and always trying to help you. I would definitely recommend Sunset Kendwa Beach hotel, because its on the best location and good price.

    The accommodation is right on the beach, perfect for a relaxing beach holiday. The staff were also kind enough to provide us with takeaway items for breakfast as we had an early start on the day of our departure.

    perfect location on the best beach in zanzibar. Beautiful:) loads of activities like boat trips, hair braiding, spa treatments, and all the water sports. not to mention the incredible sunset. We got the bungalow, right next to the beach with a plunge pool, and enjoyed it throughly. If we come back to zanzibar, will definitely book that kind of room again.

    We loved the location of this hotel! Kendwa beach is very nearby and it's easy to walk there. La Fontana has a great deal with Kendwa Rocks hotel for the guests to use their sunbeds on the beach. And the beach is amazing!! Far better than Nungwi and maybe the best beach in whole Zanzibar. Futhermore the staff in La Fontana was very friendly and helpful. We also loved our room, which was spaceous, clean and had ocean view. We stayed here one week, but could have stayed longer!

    the room was very spacious and comfortable, with a nice balcony and partial view of the beach. The position is good, right on the beach and not too busy. The staff was nice and flexible. Loved that they do happy hour and you can enjoy your drink watching the sunset on the loungers.

    We had an amazing stay at Lazy Beach hotel, directly at the beach (front row). Great value for money: very friendly staff and owner, reception lady speaks English and French, breakfast is served on the rooth top terrasse with a beautiful ocean view. Delicious breakfast (fresh fruits, fresh juice, egg/omlett etc, bread, ect). Barbeque beach restaurant next door. Evening entertainment (artists) on the beach. Other beach hotels and reataurants in walking distance. Very good water pressure.

    The hotel is at the biggest part of Kendwa beach where the sand is extremely white and the ocean is always great to swim in. you can snorkel in the ocean as the coral is very close. The hotel has a great restaurant and a bar right on the beach
