We liked the privat beach a lot. The area is not crowded at all. Also the pool a gray place to hang out. It was perfect to relax. After only three minutes walk you reach local shops and restaurants. Perfect mixture between tourist life and authentic experience.

Z-Lodge Zanzibar, hotel in Kiwengwa

Located in Kiwengwa, a few steps from Kiwengwa Beach, Z-Lodge Zanzibar provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

The location is perfect for a chilled holiday! The facilities they have ensure that, if you’d like to just stay and relax there, you are able to(there’s two swimming pools, direct access to the beach, bar, restaurant…). I have never felt this welcomed before by staff, they really make you feel welcome and help with any problem/queries you might have. They also organise tours from the property. Food in the restaurant is great.

Zanzibella Hotel & SPA, hotel in Kiwengwa

Located in Kiwengwa, 41 km from Peace Memorial Museum, Zanzibella Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

The staff and service were excellent—from the manager to the cleaners (Edda and Veronica in particular) everyone did their best to make us feel welcome. The breakfast was amazing! Different options every day, pancake/waffle/eggs stations and fresh fruit every day. The restaurant is also delicious and decently priced if you want to order lunch/supper. There is a morning cleaning and an evening turndown service. The resort has canoes you can use for free on the ocean. The beach was lovely but not swimmable at low tide. We didn’t experience any problems with seaweed or dirt on the resort beach. The pool and pool bar was amazing as well!! Lots of restaurants in the area.

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family.

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food. Boat trips, beach activities, village strolls, getting to know the culture of local people who are very knowlegeable about the natural agriculture and extreemly kind and nice. We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

    The resort is on a lovely stretch of a long beach on the east of Zanzibar. It has two lovely pools (one a salt water pool), has security watching the hotel from the beach, preventing hagglers coming up to you, a range of eating and drinking areas, plus nightly shows and daily activities such as water polo and beach volleyball. All set in nice gardens and well designed. The rooms are very good, albeit we moved into a second room that had a slightly strange odour and the door handle to the bathroom fell off! Other than that, very good.

    The property is well kept and well managed. It felt like our home away from home during our first 5 nights in Zanzibar. Solomon was extremely efficient from check in till check out. Pendo the housekeeper was always attentive and caring to our needs. The Chef made our mornings even more special with a wonderful breakfast spread. It’s location on the beach made our stay even more amazing. Nothing beats waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Plus, very close to beachfront restaurants and a local grocery store.

    Poa Poa is very small and intimate, which creates a homely and relaxed atmosphere. The staff work very hard to provide a spotless and cosy environment just steps from the beautiful beach. The bungalows are discreet and harmonious, and the pool is a good size for a small hotel. Meals are served in the lovely beach bar with good food and occasional live music. Zanzibar is not a cheap destination but we loved the fact that Poa Poa has a sense of intimacy and style that makes it a special place to stay.

    Zanbluu is a truly fantastic hotel on the East coast of Zanzibar. The pool area is beautifully designed, really spacious and the pool was fantastic. Our lodge was also amazing - exactly as on the pictures with lovely view to the sea. The food was excellent - dinner menu was particularly good which changed every day. Overall we were really happy with our stay - if you fancy switching off and not doing much (other than sunbathing) this is the perfect place for you.

    The best experience in Zanzibar at Boho Boutique Hotel!! Amazing location right on the beach, above all my expectation!!! The rooms are very modern, comfortable and clean! Even the breakfast was an amazing experience with homemade bread and sweets!!! The beach very clean and the infinity pool is outstanding. It seems like 5* hotel way above our expectation. We highly revommend this boho style small hotel and definitely will come back again!

    We liked that the hotel was very clean and safe, by far the best location we visited in Zanzibar. Our room was very cozy, comfortable bed and nice private patio! The staff is great and very helpful with resort issues and also with organizing transfer! Very good prices for everything and good value. The private beach is well furnished with many swings, perfect to relax and for beautiful photos, especially the swing in the ocean.

    Everything. This Zanzibar experience was as good as we could have asked for. First and foremost, the staff was incredible. We felt welcomed and secure to sit back and relax. The food, pools, beach, drinks, excursions, and spa were second to the people but they have everything. I’m sure there are a lot of good places to stay on Zanzibar but I’d stay here again knowing we will have a great time!

    Very clean and nice European-style hotel, few meters from Kiwengwa Beach, which is by no means one of the best beaches in Zanzibar. The rooms were very comfortable. We had breakfast and dinner included. The food was ok, a bit repetitive - all the same every day- but good. Very nice pool area and private spot on the beach. Stay there some days so you get known with people.

    It's very nice smaller hotel than BlueBay which makes it more comfortable and quieter. The food is tasty and even there is no huge selection it's good enough. Stuff is professional so it makes your stay very pleasant and relaxing. I think that this is very good choice if you go to visit Zanzibar.
