Csak egy kevés kellene a tökéleteshez

Gyönyörű helyszín, rendezett környezet

A szobák felszereltsége hiányos, nem ártana kis karbantartás. A személyze egy része kedves és előzékeny, a másik fele kevésbé mondható kedvesnek. Igazából csak egy kis odafigyelés kellene ahhoz, hogy egy kiváló hely legyen.

Séjour paradisiaque.

Très beau resort. Petits bâtiments ou bungalows dans un cadre superbe, les jardins sont magnifiques et la plage idyllique. Cadre reposant et au calme. Le personnel est serviable et efficace. La piscine est assez grande et très agréable. Les transats avec matelas, sous des paillottes sont très agréables. Un terrain de volley aussi et une paillote bar de plage avec un service sur des tables, sous les arbres, les pieds dans le sable. Les vendeurs sur la plage ne viennent pas importuner lorsqu'on est sur les transats et même sur la plage, je ne les ai pas trouvé trop insistants. Nous avons toujours trouvé des transats libres. Il est vrai que l'établissement loue aussi ses transats à la journée donc je ne sais pas comment cela se passe si l'établissement est plein. Grand lit confortable, chambre avec moustiquaire et climatisation. Belle salle de bains. Balcon sans vis à vis avec vue sur les palmiers. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, reposant, au calme. Très bon buffet de petit-déjeuner sucré/salé avec une assiette de fruits par personne. Nous avons mangé le soir au restaurant et avons toujours apprécié les plats très bien cuisinés et le restaurant sous une grande paillote , face à la mer a un très beau cadre.

Des étagères au dessus du coffre fort amèneraient plus de rangement. De même, cela serait bien d'avoir quelques étagères dans la salle de bains.

L’hôtel est très bien situé et dans un très beau cadre mais clientèle très bruyante et irrespectueuse

La situation de l’hôtel sur la plage Les palmiers et sable dans l’enceinte de l’hôtel

Les odeurs de la salle de bains mal équipée Le harcèlement des beach boys sur la plage La tenue des clients de l’hôtel au pdj ( torse nue) Le non respect des clients sur les matelas de plage ( musique très forte sur des enceintes)

tramonto e spiaggia top del top

la spiaggia top del top... consiglio le escursioni con gigante e con ibraim ... sono i numeri 1

si dovrebbe investire un po di soldi per rabbellire le camere

tramonto Top del Top e spiaggia stupenda

molto bella la spiaggia,tramonto Top del Top.le camere potrebbero essere molto più accoglienti e il cibo è senz'altro meglio in altre strutture oltre a costare pure meno... a parte questo tutti molto simpatici e ospitali.. 10 punti i ragazzi sulla spiaggia!consigliata la gita sulla barca al tramonto con king e con Ibrahim!

la camera un po povera di stile... bisognerebbe investire un po nella struttura

Could be great with a little more effort

Very spacious hotel with a wonderful beach. The rooms are comfortable and the facilities are decent. But this is a 3 star hotel at best so set your expectations accordingly.

I booked a room over a month in advance, only to arrive and be told the room I booked was not available. Then was subsequently charged the same rate for a room I did not stay in, rather than the rate for the room I was moved to. Breakfast is also just decent, fruits, bread and eggs is about all they serve. The hotel also does not provide basic toiletries like a toothbrush and toothpaste which we requested and were told we had to go outside the hotel to buy.

Stay elsewhere

Location was great.

The shower gets flooded each time, they provided no blankets for the bed it has to be requested, the room phone did not work we had to walk to front desk to ask for anything and Finally no wifi in the room and very poor wifi reception in the restaurant. I would stay elsewhere.

Amazing stay for a family with a kid of 2.5 years for a week. All was fantastic 🙏

Everything was good- the best beach in Zanzibar - good for family since there is a swimming pool and also it is close to the beach.

Sometimes the branch become very busy so maybe avoid August and December if you can ! But still all was good

Ottimo Resort sul tratto più bello della spiaggia di Kendwa

Il Resort si affaccia sulla spiaggia più bella di Zanzibar e sul punto migliore da dove ammirare il tramonto (il nome del resort é azzeccato). Le camere arredate in stile locale sono spaziose e pulite. Il ristorante offre cibo di ottima qualità. Le attrezzature in spiaggia, con tanto di piscina e campo da beach volley fronte mare, sono davvero ottime. Le capanne e i lettini tra le palme rendono unica l'esperienza di relax.

I lettini e le capanne sulla spiaggia vengono occupati in base a chi arriva prima, appoggiandovi i teli mare offerti dal resort.

Tornerei all’istante!

Situata nel miglior tratto della spiaggia di Jambiani. C’è stata assegnata una delle camere più belle, con vista mare. Cibo molto buono. Hanno organizzato, inoltre, una serata con buffet (fantastico) e show con artisti del luogo…un’esperienza molto bella

All’arrivo, in anticipo rispetto al check in previsto, abbiamo chiesto di poter fare colazione. Inizialmente ci è stato concesso senza supplemento poi, un altra persona dello staff, ha richiesto 20 USD. Non obiettiamo il costo, ma la poca chiarezza.

Other than that kids loved their stay and will definitely come back again soon.

My room was located at the beach soo I had a good view. The food was amazing and affordable.

The water pressure in the toilet was very low it was soo annoying.

Un perfetto soggiorno a Kendwa

Ottima posizione nel punto più bello della spiaggia di Kendwa. La struttura con la piscina vicino alla spiaggia il ristorante con cibo ottimo, buonissima la colazione, la cena fronte mare. La spiaggia è comoda e gli sdrai ben distanziati. Insomma, tutto perfetto. Le camere sono spartane ma molto spaziose, letto comodo. Personale premuroso e gentile. Pulizia ovunque, in camera e negli spazi comuni

Прекрасная пляжная зона, зеленая территория отеля, комфортные просторные номера.

Прекрасное расположение, тихая широкая пляжная зона. Лежаки под большими навесами расположенными на значительном расстоянии друг от друга. Территория отеля зеленая. Номера с минималистиным интерьером, но со всем необходимым. Проблем с кондиционером, нагревателем для воды не было. WiFi слабоват, но ловит по всей территории. Завтраки одинаковые, но есть небольшой выбор. Голодными не останетесь: делают омлет, блины, сосиски, бобы, картошка, хлопья с молоком. Большой выбор булочек и кексов. Фрукты приносят каждому на стол.

Wir würden das Hotel nicht nochmal buchen!

Die Anlage war schön. Der Strand war toll.

Leider gab es am Strand viel zu wenig Liegen für die Hotelbesucher. Zudem waren die Liegen am Strand total unbequem. Am ersten Tag ging unsere Dusche nicht, weshalb wir die Rezeption kontaktiert haben. Hier wurde uns gesagt, dass es kein Zimmer Nr. 15 gäbe. Wir waren aber im Zimmer Nr. 15. Nach ca. 1,5 Stunden wurde ein Mitarbeiter geschickt, der die Dusche repariert hat. Am nächsten Tag fiel das Wasser in unserem Zimmer für ca. 30 Minuten aus und wir konnten nicht Duschen gehen. Als wir diesmal die Rezeption kontaktierten, hieß es, dass bereits jemand aus Zimmer Nr. 15 vorne an der Rezeption wäre. Mir wurde unterstellt, ich müsste mich bei der Zimmernummer irren. Dies war aber nicht der Fall. Ich und mein Partner waren beide auf dem Zimmer, es konnte also unmöglich jemand von Zimmer Nr. 15 an der Rezeption sein. Das Wasser kam dann, zum Glück, auch ohne Hilfe der Rezeption wieder. Nachdem das Wasser wieder ging, kamen dann doch noch zwei Mitarbeiter vorbei. Zudem war das Essen leider sehr schlecht. Sowohl mein Partner als auch ich hatten nach dem Essen Magen-Darm-Probleme. Dieses Problem hatten wir bisher in keinem Hotel auf Sansibar.

Paradise

We loved the whole experience. From the welcoming to the farewell everyone from the staff was so kind and friendly. The gave us 2 extra hour in our room after checkout. They made the room every day so clean. New towels and water every day. The view was beautiful there are a short walk to the beach (the resaurant as well) thru the small palm tree forest we absolutely loved it. The breakfast was great you can see the ocean and the palm trees while you having your breakfast and coffee. Grocery market just a few steps from the entrance. Many restaurants nearby. The hotel have a private beach and a pool (we didnt try but it was okay). You can chill on the beach nobody disturb you. They have a nice garden with a so calm atmosphere. Absolutely worth the money.

Great value for money and a great location!

A great deal. Breakfast and dinner included- Good food. Lots of sun loungers available and on a great part of the beach. Our Room was lovely (we had a courtyard view and you could just about see the sea through the palms from our balcony). Nice beach bar with good selection of drinks and music playing in the background. Nice pool, not too big. Bathroom a bit dated, but clean (that’s pretty much the only fault I could find). Staff were friendly. Such a good price!!

The bathroom was dated and could do with a renovation. The shower was not great. Also, the sofa bed in the bedroom seems dated and could do with a new one. Other than that our room was beautiful.

Relaxing time in Kendwa

The location is unbeatable, right at the beach. Facilities were convenient, particularly the restaurant and beach chairs. Staff always pleasant and helpful.

Room was dated, and in need of upgrading, specially the bathroom. No power sockets next to the bed.

This place is a scam

Literally nothing

We were in our honeymoon got there around 5:30pm very tired after a long trip they welcome us at the front desk , asked for money for a "fee" then walked all the way to the rooms (they are many stairs ) down to the beach, open the door of our room and we see two single beds the room wasn't the want we booked so we said there is a mistake and they said we don't have you room available tonight but tomorrow or the next day we might . They didn't send an email or a call or even told us when we were check in they. Wait until we were on the room to let us know what we booked is not available. Very sad, sick and disappointment we call booking and they reached to with Rawan booking manager that is in Egypt e said they do have the room available so we went back to the front desk and said you manager booking said you do have the room, of course this guys didn't even know because he is on Egypt !! There wasn't any room available so we asked for refund and the next day we left. The people at the front desk said we will refund you give us an phone and email but after over a month we haven't received anything they don't wanna give us the money back. Also wasn't just the 2 single beds, wast our luxury room, the shower never worked they even woke us up at 11pm trying to get in the room to use our phone and we were ON BED !! AC didn't worked but we told them was ok that please at least the shower because we did have a long trip (26hours) First in the morning we left even before breakfast we talked to them again making sure the money will get refund and they said yes no problem. This place is a joke !!!

I wouldn’t recommend this place to my friends

the beach was nice with no seaweed

there’s a 4% fee to use your card but no one tells you that, no one explained the meal plan so i had no idea how dinner / half board worked. The water in the room smells awful, the WiFi only works at the restaurant and not in the hotel room, the AC barely works, my shower leaked so bad it would run into the room, the fridge didn’t get cold and just leaked water. The beds are uncomfortable and only come with a top sheet, no other linens. The beach chairs are awful, they put pads down at 9am and the chairs are all taken by 930. the hammocks are broken.

Superb

Breakfast was great, the beach was amazing!! We loved Queen who took care of us at breakfast as well as on the beach bring us drinks and appetizers. She was awesome!!

Had some loose planks on the way to the pool/beach area, I almost broke a toe.... No one was interested in helping me or asking questions as I had to ask for ice 3/4 times. Very strange. I finally received ice form a server, he walked away asking no questions or offering any assistance. However, the next day they had a crew there fixing ALL the super old planks.
