"We had an amazing stay here for our honeymoon and they made us feel very special. The food is a highlight of the hotel and the staff are all very attentive and friendly. Thank you!"
"Rooms had no towels or drinking water when we arrived at this local Swahili-style accommodation. When given bathroom towels we were told to use the same towels for the beach. That night we kindly enquired if they would prepare a whole fish for us if we were to buy from the beach and we were rudely told no. Same rudeness again the next morning when I asked them to cut a fresh pineapple at breakfast. If this is their policy, no problem, but no need to speak badly. We packed our bags at
midday and...
"Property is nice, but the area is not the best in Zanzibar. Beach is right where a working fishing village is located. Not very private at all!
Property is nice, grounds are ok. Overall upkeep of the property is below expectations. We switched villas and the second one was better, but not in pristine condition.
Villa layout is awkward. Bathroom is separate from the room structure and with a very peculiar design, offering very little privacy.
Pricing is outrageous, at more then $1,000 a...
"Greatest experience in Kendwa. Big thanks to the staff that was wonderful.
We loved hanging out with Thimothee he gave the best service we ever had. "
"A smaller hotel but with provided a great experience. The staff were outstanding from reception to the bar. The rooms were very cool (we had a family room) and large, clean and very well appointed. The restaurant always looked good with many options enough to satisfy kids too. The kids also loved the pool & table tennis games room. The Dive centre in the hotel was also excellent and one of the reasons we chose this hotel. It all worked well. Just over an hour from the airport but plenty stuff...

Pristine white sands meet turquoise waters at Kendwa Beach, where you can snorkel coral reefs or book sunset dhow cruises. Join locals for full moon beach parties or take day trips to nearby Mnemba Atoll for world-class diving among tropical fish.
"Excellent staff. The property is huge. Our room was all the way to one corner of the property making us get our steps in. Beautiful property and beach. "
"Stunning private beach
Don't leave cash around, We left cash by the bedside table they came to turn the bed at night whilst we went for dinner and the cash was gone. "
"We chose Zuri for the second week of our honeymoon, as we wanted some luxury after a busy week on safari in Kenya and we were not dissappointed! This is truly one of the best hotels we have stayed at, from the beautiful rooms (we stayed in a standard bungalow), to the absolutely exceptional standard of food across all of fhe restaurant options at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The buffet breakfast is without doubt the best buffet breakfast we have experienced, a vast range of choices which change slightly day to day. We generally chose to eat a light lunch either on the beach or by the pool each day, the standard of which was also excellent. We ate at both the buffet dinner and also at the A L Carte, both of which were fantastic. We also chose to book the "Romantic dinner" on the beach for our last night which was also a wonderful private dining experience. We also booked a couples massage at the spa which was very enjoyable. The hotel offers 2 daily wellness sessions included with all boards basis, we took part in the yoga sessions which was a lovely way to start the day, as well as making use of the gym. We also went on the "spice tour", a tour of the Zuri spice garden, which was very interesting. Both the private beach and pool area were absolutely beautiful, with more than enough sun beds for the guests. Finally, the level of service from every single member if staff was exceptional, everyone was extremely attentive and very friendly. We would definitely book again!"
"This is my second time staying at Meliá, and it won’t be my last. It’s not only because the hotel and grounds are beautiful. It’s the staff, they are exceptional, they’re the most friendly, smiley, professional and provide amazing service. Every room is cleaned twice a day and I’ve left valuables lying around and everything has always been safe.
My only complaint this time was that there was no working light in the shower but other than that everything was 10/10."
"Incredible clean hotel. Staff were so friendly provided excellent service.
The food options were very good and hotel was situated in a perfect location right next to the white sand beach.
Definitely would recommend "
