I have stayed before a year ago, and stayed in the forest room this time, which was renovated and so fresh and slick inside. The beach is amazing at low and high tide, and those magical sunsets. The staff down in the restaurant and bar are amazing so attentive and friendly and that bar on the beach is lovely.

In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location.
In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location. However, there were some issues to address:
The breakfast had a good variety of food, but unfortunately, warm items were cold. When I requested my sausages to be reheated, they were returned cold, accompanied by a surprised question about wanting them hot. It would be better if the staff anticipated the preference for warm breakfast items.
The bed was so uncomfortable, causing back pain every morning. I tried all sides of mattress, and anyways there was a pit regardless of the position. This might be specific to only my bed, but it needs attention.
The restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices, and the waiters speaks good English and are polite ( except trainees)
Cleanless! Room was clean and tide, but there were several diferent bugs around, but its Africa, you just need to ask to spray your room for bugs (i asked but they never did) and you need to ask for wc paper and ask for clean towels. Water pression in the shower and hot water was very good.
Unfortunately AC didnt wor for last 2 nights. I guess a gas just finished, but noone came to check on it, just excuses about low voltage. Well, when voltage was low even fridge was not working, bet when voltage restored AC and fridge worked excellent. Water got frozen in the fridge in 1h - so thats not a low voltage at all.
Despite the issues, I tought I would consider to come back, but after last 2 nights struggles, I doubt about it.
Particularly I would suggest a room with a sea view and small private pool, keeping in mind that perfection may not exist in every aspect, especially in a place like Zanzibar.

The internet is going to tell you Kendwa has the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar....it has not....not at all....yes, the beach is nice and wide and white.....but there is no vegetation at all, it's full of sunbeds and umbrellas from the resorts/hotels....way to many traders and not much to offer than going up and down, only to then retreat to your hotel or some place with shade....if you come here for drinks or a party, fine, but don't waste all of your vacation here, when there are many other cheaper and more beautiful places on the island...

Kendwa beach in its self is one of the best I have been too and I have been a regular beach traveller worldwide for the last 40 years. The only advice I would suggest would be to vet the hotel thoroughly as sunseabar was not upto standard it advertised. Go out into local restaurants we tried 4 different ones all were superb so far superior to the hotel

Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach!
Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach! They welcome you with a delicious fresh tropical juice! It is nice to see local people and fishermen living just next door. In the other hand thou, the front sea is full of boats that make swimming a bit complicated. The staff is very kind. Rooms are sober but clean and furnitures are nicely wooden. Breakfast is in range(no buffet, no choice) but good. Very much recommended place. I would definitely return there.

Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday.
Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday.
This is the only area bot effected by tides.
The beach is wonderful and offers great places to eat. Kendwa rocks offers a great BBQ with live entertainment on Saturdays.
Everybody were very welcoming and ready to help. Location is great and on the beach. Our room even had ocean view. Rooms were cleaned each day and on the first day we have arrived at 10AM and they let us in even if we had to show up at 2PM. On the last day we had a flight very late in the bight and they let us stay and use the room. I will definetly come back to this place if I decide to visit Zanzibar again, all the best to Palumbo hotel and guys working there! Serbia loves Zanzibar! <3
We stayed in Kendwa Rasta style during our travels in Zanzibar,whole property is just amazing, Daniela and Carlos were very helpful and very welcoming!The bungalows are charming and we felt here like at home,breakfast was superb and distance to the beach just around 10mins walking,when I have opportunity to come back to Zanzibar I will definitely stay again here!
We really enjoyed our stay at Varadero Zanzibar Hotel & Restaurant! The rooms was clean, food was excellent and offered a nice variety, and the staff were so friendly and it was easy to communicate with them in English and French. The hotel's closeness to the beach was the major perk! The beach was fabulously clean and quiet. We can't wait to be back next year!
We really liked the quiet & serene location of the hotel on Kendwa beach.
Would definitely go back.
The breakfast was our favourite meal of the day!!
Comfortable and adequate rooms.
Karim, Farooq and the hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Families, solo travellers and couples...all seemed to comfortably stay there!!
This place is like a paradise. The service attitude and the team spirit of the hotel staff is extraordinary. They read our wishes from our lips. We travel a lot. But this was by far the best 5-Star-Hotel we ever visited. The rooms, the beach, the food, the facilities, the music in the evening: All is very high standard and exclusive.
Perfect location for the people who love holiday in the place where you can relax 100%. Beautiful big clean rooms with nice balcony. Staff is very kind and helpfull.
Hotel has a really nice restaurant (breakfast) (menu) with really good food.
The best beach in the Zanzibar is next to the hotel. Makes your holiday a paradise.
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.
Excellent accommodation a short walk from the ocean. New apartments with sea views and a beautiful terrace on the roof of the building. Extensive delicious breakfasts and above all an extremely helpful and attentive owner who will fulfill your every wish. Highly recommended - the best accommodation in Zanzibar!
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
The stay at Pumzika was perfect for us, we had an amazing week. The house is just a 2 minute walk from the Kendwa beach, and many good restaurants nearby. Mustafa was an excellent host helping us get the most out of our time in Zanzibar. Thank you!
The hotel is located near the sea.
The private beach described in the offer is only a few ruined beds with the remains of canopies.
The hotel is clean, the service is very nice.
Breakfast at a nearby restaurant.
Frequent power outages.
In general I like the property, it feels like I am child again and enjoying time in the Summer camp. It was close to the best beach in Zanzibar and Renate is really nice woman. Welcoming, friendly, full of positive vibe.
Excellent value for money. They helped us with all our needs.
Very comfortable and very kind staff.
The hotel is situated near the beach, only five minutes walking.
The restaurant is fantastic, the food is delicious!
Very good location on kendwa rocks hotel beach with the opportunity to enjoy the resort for 10 USD / day.
Good breakfast and meals.
Rooms are simple but confortable bed.
Nice view
Amazing design and room size, located by one of the best beach in Zanzibar, quality food and very quiet in April. We were also allowed a very late check-out at no extra charge.
Wonderful staff! We've chosen to stay at Mocco a few times now when visiting kendwa and it's always great and fantastic value for money, right on the beach!
Food was very good and the quality of the resort finish was the best I've experienced on Zanzibar.
Staff were also very nice as you expect on Zanzibar.
