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
The location is excellent , right next to the best beach in Zanzibar . There are several cheap local restaurants and a liquor store next to the hotel. Spacious rooms with a fridge. European style bathroom. Very clean. Nice helpful service. It's very safe here. Breakfast served on the top floor in the hotel restaurant is sufficient (fruit, tea, coffee, juice, eggs). The owner is friendly and communicative. You can pay by credit card. Wifi works flawlessly.
Very nice small hotel of traditional architecture, with a beautiful terrace where customers can enjoy nice food and cocktails and chill out in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly and smiley, always available and ready to help. Flavia and Manuel gave us advice and plenty of tips to fully enjoy our stay in Zanzibar. We appreciated in particular the quiet environment in the proximity of the best beach in Kendwa. Definitely recommended.
This is by far the best resort in Zanzibar, everything was beyond our expectations. The beach and the views are absolutely incredible, very rich breakfast, extremely delicious food, very clean and luxurious villa and everything is TOP!!! The fire on the beach at sunset is brilliant and we felt very safe, the staff is really doing their best. Your only regret will be when you leave.
PS: we really loved yoga with Claudia
The location was excellent.
Staff was excellent.
Short walk to main beach for great swimming.
Great relaxing area outside the hotel on the beach.
The views from restaurant was amazing with the turquoise waters a stone throw away.
Restaurant was okay. Themed dinner nights were interesting.
Many other restaurants also walking distance along the beach.
Evening/night time activities/shows were interesting at the resort.
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!
Great place in the heart of kendwa!! All you need is in a very near location to varadero and paulino is always available for any question. Fast speed internet, good food with good prices, transfers and tours available for better prices than rest of island, super clean accommodation and friendly staff you will find there. Great place!!

• The hotel features a great pool, sun loungers, and a restaurant.
• The hotel was very clean, and housekeeping did a great job throughout, giving public areas and corridors a pleasant fresh smell.
We liked this hotel a lot. The beach is great, the best on Zanzibar. The rooms are spacious, clean, quiet and romantic with a balcony and palms in front. Very close to the beach. The restaurant at the beach is fine, tasty food and quite a good choice. Everybody speaks English.
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.
Everything was perfect, Beach Bungalow very big and right on the beach. Restaurant very good food and prices, Kendwa beach is superb very clean and very nice water. Garden is very well maintained and very nice scenery.
Salama house is close to Kendwa beach, just 10 min walk. Adriana and Salu are great. Always ready to help. They make family atmosphere.If you stay in this house you can feel real Zanzibar
The hotel location is very good.
The staff is very nice.
Cleanliness almost ok.
Breakfast at the hotel beach bar.
The rooms on ground floor are without windows.
I really enjoyed my stay in Zanzibar in this hotel. Workers and management very friendly, live music and dances and great breakfast so great value 10/10
