Okay

The property was uniquely situated on a hill which added to its beauty. However, being on a hill made for a long and not so pleasant walk to the beach. My room was also located on the 2nd floor...uggh more walking. The staff was friendly and efficient. I would like to mention Marie who worked in the restaurant...very helpful. I enjoyed the amenities and would come back. I would get a room located closer to the beach though. The Full Moon Party was a plus to my experience...Kendwa Rocks...yes it does!

A very messy hotel, the shower at the time of bathing felt the smell of urine that means that they don't do good cleaning. I had dinner included and they were charging me because it was a BBQ. The truth was nothing I expected. I understand now because it has so few valuations

Everything was Great! I loved the vibe here. Food was excellent, best I had on the Island. The beach party was great, wish I could go again. Sunset was Awesome! Could not ask for More.

It was a pleasant stay till we realized that 400$ was taken from our bags. The previous night we checked the money, the whole amount was there. After room service money was missing. We informed the reception immediately. The manager came and said he will check the camera footage that was around 5 pm. To my surprise i learned that the manager left home, when i asked the reception for updates. No updates whatsoever, felt no one was really caring about the situation. The money was carefully hidden inside the bag in 2 different places. Someone actually took the time to dig inside the bag and search for the money, and no one did anything about it. What kind of reputation and experience would the hotel gain form such behavior!!! Even after I escalated this matter the manager Omar went home without any updates, the IT guy who is supposed to show them camera footage wasn’t there. Till the moment no one addressed me no one really cared THIS HOTEL IS NOT SAFE AND STAFF CANNOT BE TRUSTED

Excellent hotel, wonderful people. A special thanks to Halima, chief receptionist. This was my second stay at Kendwa Rocks Hotel and it won't be my last.Monika

Lively atmosphere, enjoyed the beach party

Do not stay here. Location perfect, amenities poor, fridge only works when you are in the room, air conditioning didn’t work, no hot water for the totally duration of my stay, and the receptionist tried to charge me $74 as tourism tax, and when I showed him that the tourism tax is only $1 a night he seemly said “oh sorry, you have already paid the tourism tax when I booked through Expedia” and he let me go. Avoid this place. Save your money for somewhere els.

The hotel is nice and we enjoyed our stay there as a family with 2 kids.

Room was average for this star rating, the resort is huge, many deck chairs are broken, as well as too few, worn and torn beach towels, staff slow ... but the worst is breakfast, small selection, tasteless ingredients, no fresh juice, fruit, yogurt .... the worst breakfast I have ever seen in such big hotels

The location is good, and the beach is one of the best ever. But service is the worst, the staff is very rude, and very slow. The food is normal. The hotel rooms stink, phone broken, safe broken, never got fixed in our 6 nights even though we complained many times. No hot water in the beginning but was fixed.

The beach is in good condition, rooms fair but disappointing is the service level. One feels like he/she is begging to be served.

Never got to check in. Had guaranteed reservations for two rooms. Staff sold the rooms, apparently for a higher price before we arrived. They blamed Hotels.com (expedia) and gave no other excuses or explanations. Hotel said they tried to call Hotels.com, but maybe they were making up stories as they said they could not get through. Effectively stranded us at 23:00 h on a dark road in Africa. No cell phone signal at the property so we could not resolve with the booking agent at Hotels.com. Drove into the darkness until we found a cell phone signal. Called Hotels.com half a dozen times. Spent two hours on hold. Hotels.com refused to find another accommodation unless they could speak to the Hotel. Hotel was not answering the phone. Slept in the car.

Best accommodation in Kendwa! Especially now with the Covid situation when prices were lower, it was deff the best value!! Beach is way nicer than the one at the expensive all inclusive resorts, deff recommend!!

Incredible stay! The beach and the hotel are both perfect. Everyone works at the hotel is incredibly friendly and helpful, and Francis helped us orchestrated everything. Incredible value, and the restaurant food is to die for!

Great hotel with a wonderful location. The food was very good so 5 * from me. The only negative was the maintanance of the property which could be better, but all in all very good.

Our stay was great. Thank you

The best beach with blue water, you can swim all the day. Sarurday they organize the beat beach party, food is good and has a good price. Rooms are not so nice, but the beach is perfect.

Pros: great location on the beach. Lots of lounge chairs. Pool & swim up bar. Lots of places to sit to eat/drink. Friendly staff, except 1 lady at beach bar. Breakfast included. Food was ok. Cons: cleaning staff always forgot to give us towels. Moldy shower curtain in Africa 6. Can hear the beach bar late at night from the rooms (ours was far way). Can’t bring your own drinks or snacks in. Power is off and on throughout the night (A/C turns off). Slow service except for the beach bartenders.

Just wow. Kendwa Rocks is absolutely the best. We arrived on the night of the full moon party which was superb, the staff is lovely and helpful, eager to teach basic words in Swahili as well. We had a traditional room, quite spaceous and clean. The pool is great, the beach stretches wider than any other hotels in the area. Sunsets are unbelievable to watch from the beach as well. The food selection is great too. One thing needs fixing and it's the bumpy "road" down to the hotel from the highway. Get ready for a roller-coaster ride, which is well worth it! This was a once in a lifetime experience.

We werent sure what to expect after reading the negative comments about noise, lack of sunbeds and poor rooms but I must say none of those issues were present during our stay and it overall it was wonderful. The room we got was in a great condition, very quiet and had a lovely sea view from the terrace. The beach is absolutely perfect and we never struggled to find sunbeds at any time of the day - sundowners during the happy hour went down very well too! The breakfast was tasty and had a good selection of savoury and sweet - the coffee could be better but we just switched to spiced tea instead, problem solved! We stayed for a week and had an amazing time, would definitely recommend and come back again.

Close from the amazing beach and they have diffrent options but the stuff they are really really not good and not helping at all when they want something they can not wait 5 minutes. Comman
