The rooms were cleaned well, the poster bed was made up in the evenings. The hotel is located on the far end of Kendwa beach, so can provide quiet atmosphere

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.
This is a budget 2/3 star hotel so just keep your expectations real. For the reasonable price you get access to the awesome beach, where low tide is not an issue unlike in other parts of the island, full sea view (choose high floor) and spacious room.
We stayed with a family of four in 2 interconnected rooms with a fridge and kettle. Modern bathroom, hot water and AC. They have their own generator so you still have electricity and water during shut downs.
Great hospitality - thank you Alexey!
Good location, though access is not immediate.
They have a partnership with Kendwa Rocks Hotel and for 20 USD you can enjoy their pool and beach sunbeads.
The restaurant is very good. Great food with normal price range. Good breakfast as well.
They are worried about the quality of the stay and ask for feedback at the moment, which gives guests the opportunity to communicate if something is not going so well and they try to improve / meet your needs, which happened to us.
We loved staying here. You get to enjoy one of the nicest beaches in the world (just a 5 minute walk away) at an incredible value. The room was simple but very comfortable and clean. The owner was very friendly and quickly responsive when we had a problem with the toilet. She gave great local recommendations too. The on site breakfast was delicious—including fresh fruit, juice, eggs, and pastries. Would recommend my family and friends to stay here if they visit Zanzibar!
What a great stay! This was our first trip to Zanzibar, but it definitely will not be our last. We highly recommend Lazy Beach Hotel for couples and families. The staff made sure our stay was memorable and were super nice and friendly in answering all our requests. The breakfast was delish and the dinner selection was diverse, fresh, and made to order! The room was clean and spacious and room service did a great job!
Instantly felt welcomed by the owner who was always smiling and willing to assist with any questions and recommended nice places around the hotel. The food was very tasty and the waiters were friendly. The breakfast view at the rooftop was exceptional and breathtaking. We felt safe and created great memories. We are definitely coming back again!
Everything is simply perfect about this accommodation: location is great, stuff is very welcome and supportive, clean in the room and at the beach, great security all over the hotel (rooms, territory and coastline), very beautiful everywhere and food is amazing 🤩
If you will see the deal with half board, don’t hesitate, just take it!
• The location of the SunSeaBar hotel is truly spectacular, with immediate access to the pristine waters of the Zanzibar channel.
• 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.
A very well organized hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, cozy decorated and wonderful facilities. Definitely worth it and recommended for everyone visiting Kendwa, and Zanzibar overall, aiming for a peaceful and chilled vacations!
Everything, the service, the staff but most of all the food was exceptional. The depth, breadth, quality and sheer variety and extent of the food was extraordinary - we loved the meals particularly the gala night. A perfect hotel.
This is a family run business at the south of Kendwa beach. Becca and his sisters have set up a wonderful facility. They are very close of the village so I enjoyed both the local and "tourist" perspectives.
The hotel's location is great. Close to the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. & the pool is beautiful. Abdul at reception was VERY helpful to get us into a really great, popular restaurant in the area.
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
Amazing design and room size, located by one of the best beach in Zanzibar, quality food and very quiet in April. We were also allowed a very late check-out at no extra charge.
I loved the atmosphere and the friendliness of the people. Zanzibar is a special place and its people are even more! Don't miss the full moon party if you're around!
- Location - right by Kendwa beach, the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar
- Friendly staff including the owner
- Value for money
- Nice breakfast/restaurant view
