Varadero Zanzibar Hotel, hotel in Kendwa

Honestly the only thing I liked about this property was the staff at the front desk. They were nice and I never fail to appreciate good hospitality. Oh another thing is the location. If you want good access to water sports in Zanzibar, this place is good.

    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

    Serene grounds, welcoming staff and very courteous to clientele. Food was good (seafood) and the rooms are superb ( got an ocean view facing the tennis court. Need more African entertainment for guests at night though!

    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 place is GORGEOUS. we switched this resort after reading more reviews of Gold Zanzibar and decided on this place and I’m SOOOO glad we did. our butler Dudi was amazing. EVERYONE. was amazing. the staff here goes above and beyond. our only critique was that (1) the food needed salt - like legit every dish needed salt and (2) the tour when you first arrive was way too long. we were tired and just wanted to unpack and shower while the welcome tour was at least 45 mins. this place is such a hidden gem

    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!

    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.

    we really enjoyed our time at Sansi Kendwa beach resort. The staff were so friendly and made an amazing family and fun atmosphere - it was impossible to not be in a good mood around them. Mohammed from the reception went the extra mile to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable at possible. We really enjoyed the food and activities. We would love to come back and definitely recommend it if you visit Zanzibar! Thank you for everything!

    We really enjoyed our stay at Varadero Zanzibar Hotel & Restaurant! The rooms was clean, food was excellent and offered a nice variety, and the staff were so friendly and it was easy to communicate with them in English and French. The hotel's closeness to the beach was the major perk! The beach was fabulously clean and quiet. We can't wait to be back next year!

    perfect location on the best beach in zanzibar. Beautiful:) loads of activities like boat trips, hair braiding, spa treatments, and all the water sports. not to mention the incredible sunset. We got the bungalow, right next to the beach with a plunge pool, and enjoyed it throughly. If we come back to zanzibar, will definitely book that kind of room again.

    We really liked the quiet & serene location of the hotel on Kendwa beach. Would definitely go back. The breakfast was our favourite meal of the day!! Comfortable and adequate rooms. Karim, Farooq and the hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. Families, solo travellers and couples...all seemed to comfortably stay there!!

    Everything was great! Accommodation quality is amazing for Zanzibar standards but the best thing about this place is Villa's staff, especially Dula. He will help you with EVERYTHING and go the extra mile each time. Location of the place is also great, 4 minutes to the beach, loads of shops and cafes around and it feels safe
