We stayed at Sand and Sunset and had such a wonderful experience. First of all, a huge thank you to the staff – they made us feel welcome and cared for from the very beginning. A young bartender and the lovely girl working at the bar were always kind, friendly, and full of positive energy. I also want to give special thanks to the pregnant woman at reception – she was incredibly caring and helpful when I had a wound and needed assistance. Her kindness truly meant a lot. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh, and everything in the restaurant was served with great attention to quality. The rooms were cleaned very thoroughly, and we really appreciated how tidy and well-maintained everything was. One small detail that could be improved was the toilet with a window facing another property, which felt like it lacked a bit of privacy. But honestly, this was a minor detail compared to everything else. I truly recommend Sand and Sunset, especially because of the amazing staff – their warmth and hospitality made our stay memorable. Thank you for everything! 🌴

Very cute place, owned by super helpful and nice people! Very close to Kendwa beach, the location is great! The rooms are cosy but bear in mind that they are not equipped with AC (if you’re not an AC addict you’ll be fine thanks to the fan in the ceiling). The breakfast is delicious! They are even building an outdoor gym! Don’t hesitate one second, you’ll have a wonderful stay there! Thank you Alex and Elisabeth, we’ll be back!

    The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

    Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

    Kendwa being on the north side of the island and close to Nungwi is great for travellers who enjoy a festive party vibe ,there are many pubs and resorts that are always having fun functions, there are many water activerties to enjoy eg: sailing, fishing, diving, kayaking,snorkling and many more, Kendwa also bosts a sky diving club and horse riding,for those who enjoy self driving the roads are in good condition from Stone Town I would however sadjest using the back route via Tunguu excellent roads and sceanic forestation.

    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...

    Such an amazing Zanzibar atmosphere of relaxation. Bungalow with a luxurious terrace (two tables, a sofa, chairs, a sunbed). Spacious room, closet, modern plumbing. Spacious shower room. Wonderful hostess, wonderful breakfast at a time convenient for you. There is a restaurant nearby, shops and the beach within walking distance. I would have gladly stayed longer.

    This is the best hotel in Zanzibar : we stayed in 5 different hotels during our stay in Tanzania and this one is undoubtedly the best. The location of the hotel is beautiful, the view is great, and the staff is top-notch. The food is excellent, especially the seafood pasta, a delight. I recommend this hotel 1000%
