Hotels in Kiwengwa

1. The ambiance is fantastic! 2. The main restaurant's chef seems Indian, and we had a rather terrible dinner. Luckily, we switched to BBQ the next day, which was a bit better. Bookings at the other restaurants aren't easy. You have to book a full day in advance to be sure. 3. The beach party on our check-in night lasted until midnight and was incredibly loud. I made several complaints starting at...

We had the most welcoming experience in Melia Zanzibar. We were met by management, chefs and many brilliant staff members. Place was clean and we were comfortable with our stay. Would like to give a mention to some staff members we had dealt with most of our trip. With their kind hospitality and service. They were all good at what they do and very helpful. Restaurant staff - Gidion, Paul, Lucia...

This Adults only part of Melia Zanzibar was amazing. Fahad at the pool was the most friendly attentive host! We really enjoyed our days at the pool with him! The rooms were incredible and the slippers so comfy! Only one bad experience at the bar and the Jetty restaurant … we were charged an exorbitant amount for a cocktail and an entre ( we had an all inclusive package, but they were not upfront about...

While we had a few issues, like a bathtub plug not working, Melia was quick to resolve issues and make sure that our stay was enjoyable. The snorkeling excursion we planned through the hotel was wonderful. The variety of food at the restaurants and buffets was a nice change after having a very limited choice on our safari. The pool was very enjoyable. I also enjoyed meals at the pool bar. If you...

Very good location, service and rooms. We enjoyed the lovely scenery and lovely staff. The only thing that could have been bettrr is the food, for a premium price we paid we expect premium and more variety on the buffet. More exotic fruit, more fish options , better dessert, ice cream... But overall experiemce was great.

Visiting with family. Great resort, helpful and genuine management, many things to do with the family but it's also just nice to stay in the resort. We had a rough start of our vacation but greatly accommodated by the resort for what we are very thankful.

We enjoyed our holiday in thia amazing hotel, tasty food different restaraunts .We took Romantic package we liked dinner on the beach ,we will come back again.Highly recommend

Everything about this place was amazing — the beach, the staff, the food, and the atmosphere. Truly felt like a piece of paradise. The rooms were clean and spacious, the gardens well-kept, and the sunsets unforgettable. Every day felt like a dream, and the service was always with a smile. We’ll definitely be back and recommend it to everyone looking for a perfect getaway!

Kiwengwa beach resort zanzibar Tanzania. Dreamy beach paradise. Stop searching and book this incredible hotel on the beach this place is a gem, rooms are spacious beautifully tiled and pristine. The food was excellent. We specially enjoyed breakfast

A great place to relax and enjoy some downtime, although for the active there plenty too do, especially water sports. (not for me). Everyone extremely friendly and can’t do enough for you. Would certainly come back .

We found nothing to fault at Kiwenga Beach - everything was good and we felt no need to leave the hotel. Everyone was very friendly, food was excellent and rooms spacious and clean. Plenty of sunbeds both by the pools and the sea. The entertainment was good too.

Place is amazing, about 1hr from airport. Whole team from manager, restaurant staff, entertainers very welcoming always smiling. All doing their best to make our stay pleasant. Resort on the beach has soft white sand. Gardens well kept. Rooms are very clean with efficient air conditioning, towels changed daily. Local alcohol included in all inclusive unfortunately proper pizza and ice creams not included...

We stayed in one of their newer Ocean facing suits with 3 beds. upon arrival, a few things were not in place as expected but the staff worked hard and fast to fix or repair anything that was not as it should have been. I greatly appreciated all the effort and hospitality of the following team members; Athumam, AKA "King Arthur", Tomas, Lemalali, and Felisse in the dining room. Each and every one of...

A big heartfelt thank you to everyone at Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa for making our stay truly special for the second time. From the amazing Group General Manager Mr. Bhakti ‘Dass’ Bangar to the kind and professional Guest Relations Manager Mrs. Fatima, to Mr. Manoj who even took his day off to show us the beauty of Zanzibar, and to every single team member from housekeeping, front office, restaurants...

I had an unforgettable experience at Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa. From the moment I arrived, Mr. Dass, the General Manager, made me feel like I was home. He is kind, professional, and incredibly welcoming — a true leader. The staff were also amazing: Atila, Rashid, Khadija, Khalfan, Chef Oscar, Erick, Yaya and others (whose names I sadly can’t remember) were all so friendly and always addressed guests...

It was a wonderful experience in paradise with a truly African flair - the staff were amazing and I loved the spa - a place to be pampered and to let go of all the stress and mental baggage - what a happy place! As a solo traveller and female at that, it was a place to find me again! Highly recommend!!

Hotel advertises all inclusive however nothing is indeed included. Hotel charges surcharges for almost everything which was not appreciable after paying additional fees for all inclusive packages.

The hotel is particularly beautiful, on the sea and everything is green. It is exceptionally clean, the staff is welcoming and provides service above and beyond, responding to every request immediately, and the hotel manager also personally takes care of every request. We will definitely be back.

Sultan sand islands Hotel. I had the best time the stuff and Gm ( kevin) are amazing people . There made me and my friend feel like royal. Thank you . See you guys soon .

I had the BEST time staying at the Sultan Sands resort! From beginning to end my experience was truly amazing! I am a solo traveler but I din't feel alone for one moment. The staff is so incredibly friendly and they really made me feel so welcome at the resort and well taken care off. I had a Pwani Room, which was very spacious (even if I wouldn't have been by myself) with a minibar a TV and a...

Food excellent, lot of sallads, fish.... Good service, nice and polite employee Room was clean and good. Plaace was safe. There is a dive shop atcthe resort. Easy to book dives and snorkling trips. Beach is clean. Pole pole and hakuna matata....

We have stayed in many hotels during our travels. However, Sultan Sands is a wonderful hotel and one of the best that we have ever stayed in. Why? The hotel is located in a fantastic part of Zanzibar, with a sea that is constantly changing colour and with beautiful sands. The hotel buildings have been constructed with empathy and care to reflect the environment and country in which it is located...

The service at sultan sands was excellent from start to finish, everybody was always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed. The beach had security so was safe. The food was always varied and flavourful. The room looked beautiful and they even came in at night to close my curtains and get my bed ready for sleeping, such a nice touch! I need to eat gluten free and every meal...

From the moment we stepped into Sultan Sands, I felt like I’d found a little piece of paradise. This wasn’t just a hotel—it was a beautiful escape with stunning views that melted my stress away. The hotel is perfectly nestled against an amazing beach, and the ocean views were breathtaking—changing every hour of the day. Don’t forget to swim in the morning when the water is high! I didn’t even want...

Friendly staff, wonderful food and themed evenings. The beach villas are located right on the beach with a lovely view

The location of the hotel is good, quiet and safe area. Hotel has good security measures applied. The accommodation was very good, clean and comfy. Quality of food was very good and they have wide selection of meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel staff was always there for us, super friendly and helpful.

Having spent 7 nights at this hotel I can tell that the place is really nice, friendly staff always available to help you out. They were very kind with our children. Staff do a very hard and good job all time, they do their best to service you. Facilities are well maintained and clean. Asante sana!

We loved our 10 nights stay at Diamonds Mapenzi Beach! It is a nice hotel with a great African vibe! The highlights were definitely the food (breakfast, lunch and dinner), drinks, beach, rooms and great staff! We loved our bungalow with ocean view, so peaceful and calm. The gym is small but very nice and we were most of the times alone, so really private feeling! We read a lot of comments that the...

Beautiful resort and location. Seems short staffed permanently so service is very slow at the bar/s or the restaurant even reception. The cleaners do a very good job and are very friendly. Lacks good entertainment unfortunately as well. The food good but a bigger variety would be awesome. I say employ more people form the island and train them well, maybe add another pool area, some good music and...

We have not felt so comfortable in a hotel for a long time. The hotel is very well maintained, the staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful that you feel like you are among friends. The food is very good and with many highlights, there is nothing to criticize. I would especially like to mention Mr. Hombo (or similar), a gardener who gave my wife a small but lovely bouquet of flowers tied by his...

We stayed at a different beach hotel 2 miles away but we discovered the Marafiki restaurant. We had a wonderful lunch yesterday and then we went back for dinner tonight. The selection is varied but heavy on the seafood. We were very happy with the meal (as well as the price). My husband had a tuna steak and I had tuna tatake (a smaller portion) and we both really enjoyed our meal. Additionally we...

Beautiful resort set in a mature garden. Quiet and peaceful set right on the beach. Easy walk into Kiwengwa along the beach. Management and staff are amazing - couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. Everything was perfect

Had a fantastic stay during New Year's Eve. Wonderful hotel with beutiful bungalows. Bush babies live around, was exciting to look for them every day. Very relaxing vibes in the hotel, thanks to the caring crew. Felt like home during the whole stay. NY Eve's party was so much fun, with delicious food and dancing. Loved the menu and service! Speacial Thanks to Esther & Michael for for such unforgettable...

I had such an incredible experience staying at this resort. It was a pleasure to relax by the pool and enjoy the ocean view. I also enjoyed using the kayaks to paddle out to sea and catch a few small waves. The food was delicious and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The hotel helped me organise tours at good prices and I only had to pay the hotel during check out. The pool was refreshing and...

Chilled out and in the midst of ultimate relaxation

Very nice place to spend your holiday family rooms also available

Had the most beautiful stay! Great hospitality and superb estate. So green and feel so authentic. Absolutely love their buffet of guest engagement gigs. Gracias Veraclub!

We had a 3 night stay, half board, family 2 adults and 2 kids, we absolutely loved it and highly recommend it.

It's a very nice place. Beautiful rooms and delicious food. The staff very polite.

Had a truly wonderful time in this gorgeous little resort! From the minute I arrived, it was obvious how caring & kind the staff are. They treat you like family ♥️ I booked the Tinga Tinga room, which despite being for singles, was so spacious and beautifully decorated. It was perfect for just me & I slept like a log every night! 🤩 The pool & gardens were lovely, making it feel like a real tropical...

Amazing and exceeding my expectations.. I enjoyed everything in this hotel rooms service and sepcially the staff made my stay even better they are friendly and excellent service starting from the GM I would like to give big thanks to Jumaa the pool guy and Mubarak the chef also to Zainab and all of the team thank you for making our holiday memorable 😊

What an amazing place.. heartwarming and friendly people. Beautiful and clean Boutique Hotel and very professional staff. A big thank you goes to Mr. Urfi for being so helpful with the arrangements.

This little remote boutique hotel was a lovely find. They only have 8 rooms/villas, giving it a lovely homely feel. Highlights: a) They accommodated my early check in b) Friendly and attentive staff c) My room (Masai villa) was HUGE, and so beautifully decorated. Really clean. d) amazing food - especially Swahili night. The chefs did a great job. They also provided a packed breakfast the morning I...

This hotel is a gem in Zanzibar and we would have extended our stay had we not other prepaid plans. Come here if you want to a hidden tropical experience. Middle of the forest with cute huts. Staff 5/5, really thoughtful and friendly. Mr. Juma knows around the reef and is a jolly joker when it comes to local knowledge. Food superb, wide variety of cocktails. This is also probably the cleanest hotel...

A lovely place on the beach. I dined here twice and both times it was great. The food is very good and the staff is very friendly and professional. They also organise romantic dinners on the sand.

Back home, we would like to thank the staff of the Mvuvi hotel. Grace and all the team. This place is close to paradise. I am not exaggerating. Thank you for welcoming us, and giving us the opportunity to discover your beautiful island and part of your culture in such a perfect manner. Most of all, thank you for your kindness (in addition to the fantastic food!). You are a fantastic team. Du fond...

We had such a fantastic one-week stay at Mvuvi Boutique Hotel. Everything was beyond our expectations! The location is perfect, as it is directly on the beach, but the hotel has a small swimming pool with relaxing swing beds and incredible views. The food is tasty, and the vibes are good! I cannot highlight enough the excellent service and staff. We can't wait to come back again very soon! You made...

Wonderful place ! The hotel, the staff, the food, everything was great. The people at the hotel are adorable, they take care about every details, the room is always clean, the food they propose at the restaurants is quality and tasty. The view from the hotel right on the beach is perfect. You feel like home with a family, in a quiet and lovely place. Once again to all the staff you made our stay memorable...

We have just enjoyed the holiday of our lives in Zanzibar. Aside from it being a beautiful island with lots to do, the main reason that fuels our motivation to return is the hospitality of Grace and her team at this beautiful hotel. They went above and beyond at every opportunity and we could not be more grateful for this. Thank you Mvuvi for bending over backwards to accommodate us.

We tried the restaurant only. The place is simple, elegant with very nice presentation just in front of the sea. And the food is simply what we expect from a place like this… great. We went 2 times and every time it was really really good.

Great resort, with good food and easy beach access. Some of the staff however are extremely rude, making it very obvious they personally do not want to serve you, no matter how friendly you try to be. Most of the staff are great though. Management is really helpful, friendly and tries to accommodate and assist wherever they can. Primarily focused on Italian clients, as the resort name suggests, but...

Excellent & helpful staff!!! Clean hotel rooms, lots of entertainment!!! Had a lovely stay!! Enjoyed the food!!

We have spent great moments în Bravo Club Kiwengwa Resort. The garden looks gorgeous, the fine sandy beach is amazing and the pool is just what you need for a wonderful day.

A beautiful resort. Such friendly staff. Even tho we didn't speak Italian they were very accommodating. Beach access, clean pool and so many activities throughout the day. Not that we have kids but the daily programme for children kept them entertained most of the day. The food was amazing, freshly prepared, well presented and delicious.

Wow! What a gorgeous property. We stayed at Mvuvi for only a couple of nights, but could have stayed forever. Heaven on earth. Thank you Mvuvi for your exceptional attention to detail, safe and serene environment and thoughtfulness. They went above and beyond. Cannot recommend enough!

Absolutely adorable and unfussy place on the beach perfect for sunrise! I love the clean and spacious room that feel boutique and personal instead of mass produced. The service is top notch and the friendliest ever. The food exceeds the expectations of high end resorts around the world. My only regret is that I only had time for one night so I plan to return some day soon as I long for a sun lounger...

The best hotel in kiwengwa!!! Laura is amazing, taking care of everything and make sure you will feel comfortable and have fun from your staying. We stayed for 4 nights for our honeymoon and everything was perfect! The room is amazing and the staff are so kindly. We will definitely come back ❤️

Stayed here in December family of 4 . What a beautiful little gem! A lot of greenery , good sized pool and netflix is a plus for the kids . The people and the service are amazing ! We booked all the outside excursions through the hotel and it is highly recommended to do so! It is a Couple of steps away from the beach . The rooms are clean, breakfast is yummy and there are restaurants around the hotel...

Fantastic place, a few steps from the beautiful beach. Far from noise. Peaceful. Owner is absolutely fabulous, helps with anything you need from the start to the end of your stay. A few restaurants around. Fully recommended.

Wow experience! We were looking for a very intimate resort and Arya was the best choice for me and my wife... very nice pool and friendly staff! We booked directly woth the ewnker trough whatsapp and she gave us the best price with a discount ++++++++

Super cute hotel near the beach, super clean, good food, nice people, nice pool, Netflix, AC, super good wifi, everything you need you will find !

I will start from a big issue. Hotel is offering your own safe in the safe room that is nearby reception, in hotel lobby. Unfortunatelly ALL KEYS FITS ALL SAFES! BEWARE OF YOUR BELONGINGS BECAUSE ANYONE CAN ACCESS IT! There is no safes in the room. Now lets make a list: Pros: -Staff is fantastic, always smiling when spoken to, always helpful, always kind. Great people. Special greetings to Emi! -Beautiful...

Amazing hotel with an amazing atmosphere. Really great food and amazing staff. Our room got upgraded just because they had better rooms available. For those who go for the 'All-inclusive' package - get ready for great Italian pizzas all day long!

We slept 10🌙 nights at Voi,the beach is amazing with a lot of palms 🌴 unfortunately the water is full of algs but still is wonderful 👌, the staff is really cool! Maria from the bar 🍸, Carlo from the kitchen, Kali from restaurant, Omar also, very friendly, the food is ok in specially the fish 🐟 is really nice taste 👌, the rest of the food seems old a little bit, if you want to book excursion, please...

We spent Christmas at VOI Kiwengwa and I must admit that it was amazing! The service and animation team organized many attractions and activities during the day. On Christmas Eve, we were served a special Christmas buffet and surprised by a spectacular show followed by the visit of a Santa Claus. Really, huge applause for the management team which takes care of the guests and introduces a warm and...

We spent here our honeymoon! Our room had a sea view. Food here is ok, a lots of Italian cuisine. Hotel service is so helpful and nice. Wide, clean and peaceful beach, plenty of sunbeds available. I recommend it!

Amazing experience. The resort has a strong Italian culture, which was a very great experience. The Bravo team (the activities team) kept us engaged with beach sports, shows, beach party hopping and yoga. I would definitely recommend this beach to anyone wanting an amazing island experience.

This place reminded me of coming home. Highly recommend!

I ordered Kachumbari and Meat Pilau, but they didn't come out after 40minutes, and when I asked the staff, they finally came out 10minutes later. I know Pilau takes a long time for make, but Kachumbari just cuts vegetables and sprinkles with lime and salt…Beer and starter bread were relief for hunger. Meat Pilau had a quirky taste and didn't like the taste. Kachumbari was very good! Staff are friendly...

Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing lodge. We spent three lovely days at Simba Beach lodge. The hosts were so lovely and they have two adorable daughters who were the sweetest ever. It is right by the beach so it was great to walk out from the room directly to the sea. The place is clean and the breakfast was nice. Very serene place - highly recommend it to anyone going to zanzibar.

One of the few places with rooms directly on one of the best beaches in Zanzibar. Italians and families especially will love it but great for all. Minor irritations like flies after my food and a bit grumpy male manager and no air conditioning . But the female boss is fantastic and the service attentive. Excellent quality overall for the money

Nice, quite and cozy place located on stunning Kiwengwa beach. You can feel at home. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Nice place to stay due to possibility to walk around the beach and enjoy beautiful sunshines. Within few minutes walking on the beach Kiwengwa is plenty of restaurants, bars, kitesurfing spots and schools. I recommend Simba's restaurant as well...

Simba Beach is an amazing place, very clean and right by the beach. We loved hearing the waves all throughout the night and in the morning we'd wake up to a beautiful sunrise. The host, Chantal, is great and all the staff are amazing and kind people. Highly recommend!

Private accommodation, landscaped garden, rooms worse, does not work properly toilet, water in the shower flows very weak. The possibility of using the kitchen, but the stove did not work, after 1 day it was repaired. Breakfast included toasts and papaya, every day. If you want others, you need to negotiate. Beach 200m, unmaintained, sea in the daytime. For swimming you need to walk about 2km higher...

Great holiday villa! 3 rooms with large beds, each with a separate bathroom. Beds with mosquito nets. Shared kitchen and huge dining room. From the open veranda offers stunning views of the ocean. If you wake up early, you can watch a gorgeous dawn. Very quiet and cozy place, and the owners Denis and Eugene will help and tell where to buy, what to see and how to get. In 5-7 minutes walk along the beach...

Lovely helpful people. Ocean views and a short walk to the sea. AC and nice rooms. Outside of the tourist zone but they let you use their kitchen.

Very hospitable managers Denis and Jane, self catering units with everything you can think of, or compete villa if/when available.. Highly recommended for families or groups, close to the beach and child friendly. Asante Sana

I had an amazing time while staying at Bahati Villa. The staff were incredible. Was the perfect vibe for our chill hang in Zanzibar. Saied was such a gracious host the whole time. He helped us find things we wanted to do and connected us with people to make it happen. Even when I got injured on the island he went out of his way to make my time comfortable at his place. Ali, Leo and the rest of the...

Very comfortable rooms (although not directly on the beach) with birds and bush babies in the trees. The staff are very friendly and the place is always kept clean. Absolutely delicious breakfast!

We were in Kiwengwa 5 days and this restaurant was for sure the best in the area. Fresh sea food done really correct way, amazing coctails and nice staff. Really the best food in the area with reasonable prices

Bahati villa is located on beach in Kiwengwa. The village is still developing and it still feels very remote and virgin. The owner is Italian and has a great chef with impressive skills in the kitchen. The sea food pastas are very good. The rooms are clean, spacious, tastefully decorated, and reasonably priced for what’re getting.

Room very large and beautiful! a fantastic breakfast. courtesy and professionalism staff. sea view wonderful! Paradise in Zanzibar. kisses

One of the best boutique hotels on the Island. With it's calm atmosphere and kind staff it's an absolutely must to visit in Zanzibar. The food was amazing. Everything about this place was perfect for us.

The perfect place for an authentic Zanzibar experience! We stayed at this hotel for 3 weeks and were more than happy with our experience! The food is delicious, the rooms are very spacious and the staff are super friendly. This small, typical hotel is located in an authentic village, with a private beach just a 1-minute walk away. This may seem surprising at first glance, but in reality the place...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 **A Hidden Gem in Zanzibar!** My stay at Zan View Hotel was nothing short of magical. Nestled on a hilltop above the charming fishermen's village of Kairo, this hotel offers breathtaking views and a true Zanzibari experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the pristine white sands of Kiwengwa Beach. The staff at Zan View Hotel are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure...

As I am touring the continent of Africa, and Tanzania included in that, I had the opportunity to stay at this hotel. It was a very cool experience... The the property is tranquil and relaxing, and the staff is very accommodating... I really enjoyed the experience...

I had an incredible stay at Zan View Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff's warm welcome made me feel right at home. The room was immaculate, with stunning views and all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay.

Our stay at Zan View Hotel was great! It is a real experience to live in this hotel! It s not on the beach, but even so it s a 2 min walk through local village! Good Luck and his team did everything to make us feel welcome! The food in the restaurant was great, and if you have any special requests the chef is willing to accomplish your wishes! And, not to forget, it was spotless clean with great wi...
