Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive - Adults Only features luxurious accommodation with private terraces offering Indian Ocean views. Facilities include an outdoor pool, private beach with watersports and a dive centre. The spa provides massages and a steam bath.

I loved touring the beautiful grounds, amenities, beach access and the watersports activities that could be done or purchased from the site. The staff were always friendly and helpful, "Jambo, Jambo!" Even saw one of them at a bazaar in stone town and he was the same cheerful person (Sadick from the poolside bar). The hotel is true luxury and lives up to its name.

Set in Nungwi, 200 metres from Royal Beach, Canary Two & SPA offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a kids' club and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel features an indoor pool, karaoke and room service.

The staff was amazing and really made sure, that we have everything that we need. Since the hotel on the pictures is currently under renovation, we got a room in the Canary Nungwi Hotel with a free room upgrade and free 60 minutes massage for each one of us. It would be better to place some information in the Booking.com description, that the hotel is a different one, but they really cared well for us at the other hotel, it was a great stay and they definitely made it up for that small confusion. They also let us stay a bit longer on our last day and gave us a different room, such that we could shower once more before heading to the airport in the late afternoon.

Facing the beachfront, Zenobia Beach Resort offers 3-star accommodation in Nungwi and features a garden, terrace and restaurant. Featuring a bar, the hotel is close to several noted attractions, around a few steps from Nungwi Beach and around 1.2 km from Royal Beach. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

Some hotels are not worth the money they are charging in Zanzibar. No hygiene full of insects and the tap water is salty! Zenobia was the last day of my stay in Zanzibar. I wish I did not spend that much money on an all-inclusive hotel. The owners were very kind. The staff were great, and the location was the same as the expensive hotels around. Better services. Affordable.

Located on a sandy beach on the northern tip of Zanzibar, this Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco offers luxurious rooms with views of tropical garden, pool and the Indian ocean. The lush tropical gardens contain an outdoor pool and swim-up bar.

Exceptional, attentive service. Special commendation to Chef Idd Ali who offered us the most delightful, specially prepared meals! Absolutely adored the palm-woven hat and vase adorned with hibiscus and frangipani that was gifted to me. The all-inclusive offering was worthwhile and highly recommended. Diverse cuisine and variety of flavourful food offered. The entertainment area is lovely with pool tables, table tennis, darts and books. Very easy access to the beach and walking distance from the departure point to Mnemba.

    The location was excellent. Staff was excellent. Short walk to main beach for great swimming. Great relaxing area outside the hotel on the beach. The views from restaurant was amazing with the turquoise waters a stone throw away. Restaurant was okay. Themed dinner nights were interesting. Many other restaurants also walking distance along the beach. Evening/night time activities/shows were interesting at the resort.

    This was our 3rd time back to Kendwa Rocks. Since our last stay in 2021 there have been many changes which makes it a very commercial big resort now. We love the beach and the location. Our room was refurbished but a little on the small side we thought. Major improvements to the food and menu since our last stay.

    It's a nice not too big hotel and all the rooms are walking distance to its restaurant. Rooms are big, clean and comfortable. The all-inclusive is in fact partially all-inclusive, which you find out when you read the bar menu. So, if this is important in making your choices, keep this in mind. Hotel staff is very friendly.

    We had a brilliant stay at Sansi Kendwa Beach resort. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, and Joseph the manager was exceptional. Our room was clean and comfortable with all the facilities we needed. The food was fresh and of very good quality. The hotel has a stunning beach with plenty of sun loungers and beautiful clear water to swim in. A particular highlight was an amazing dinner on the beach at full moon, thank you to all the staff for arranging this.

    we really enjoyed our time at Sansi Kendwa beach resort. The staff were so friendly and made an amazing family and fun atmosphere - it was impossible to not be in a good mood around them. Mohammed from the reception went the extra mile to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable at possible. We really enjoyed the food and activities. We would love to come back and definitely recommend it if you visit Zanzibar! Thank you for everything!

    Kendwa beach resort was a big tick on location, ambience, cleanliness and facilities. Right on Kendwa beach, where the sunsets are gorgeous. Our room came with a great sea view, and was very clean and spacious. We had a lovely time here!

    Amazing experience! The staff at the hotel made our holidays unforgettable, the best staff ever. So kind and nice, perfect. The restaurant at the hotel - Essence was also GREAT! food is amazing, prices are very good, wide selection of dishes, and staff is the best. My son had a birthday and they organised the best celebration on the beach. The rooms are spacious, very clean and the view is amazing from every room. I would definitely recommend and we will come back 100%. Thank you Kendwa beach resort!
