Find the Cheap Kiwengwa Hotels

This is a beautiful resort. The staff were incredibly kind and always welcome you with a smile. They have snacks and coffee/tea time throughout the day and the dinner buffets were fantastic. There is also a lot of activities like water aerobics, stretching, volleyball. The only downside: people are allowed to smoke everywhere, on the beach, by the pool, the lobby, the chill areas. It’s really gross and very unhealthy for those who do not smoke.

Sultan Sands in Zanzibar is a fantastic hotel to unwind after a few days on safari. The rooms are excellent (spacious, quiet, and comfortable). The social areas are also well above average, with four pools (including a quieter one for those looking to truly relax), several restaurants, bars, and various game areas like snooker and ping pong. There’s even a spot for beach soccer and volleyball. The staff is attentive and professional, from the gardeners to the receptionists, restaurant staff, and entertainers. Everyone we encountered was friendly and eager to ensure we had a great stay. Two standout aspects of Sultan Sands, in my opinion, are the quality of the food and the beach. - The food is local, spicy, and of excellent quality with a great variety to choose from. - The beach right in front of the hotel is stunning, with soft sand, crystal-clear water, and a perfect temperature. Surrounding the hotel, the beach area has several shops selling local crafts, and there are also numerous vendors who enjoy chatting with tourists. While they are keen to sell their products, they are polite and not overly pushy if you’re not interested, which adds a charming and authentic local flavor to the area. There are a couple of areas where the hotel could improve: 1) The hotel should invest in maintaining the cleanliness of the beach in front of and around the property. The beach and ocean are beautiful, but there is quite a bit of plastic and some litter that should be collected. While I understand that the beach isn't the hotel's direct responsibility, they have enough staff to handle this additional task and greatly enhance the cleanliness of the environment. I strongly believe the hotel should work to ensure the beach is consistently clean and should encourage their staff and local vendors to participate in regular cleanups. 2) All goods at the hotel (food, drinks) are priced in the local currency. However, when it comes time to settle the bill via credit card at the end of the stay, the hotel only accepts payment in USD, with an exorbitant exchange rate—nearly 15% higher than the actual rate. If prices are displayed in the local currency, it doesn’t seem fair to force guests to pay in USD, especially with such a significant markup. My final payment ended up being considerably higher than the advertised cost for additional products and services.

Wonderful people, magical place. I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel in October. I had a large group of almost 100 people with me. I was surprised by the amount of kindness, smiles and excellent service. Delicious cuisine, everyone will find something for themselves. The hotel is very clean, has a beautiful setting in a palm tree garden. The beach is well organized. I spent an extraordinary time there and met unique people. Thank you to the amazing manager Mr. Dass and his team: Ahlem, Saadia, Fatma, Mike, Abdul, Kumar and the rest for their wonderful hospitality. Do you want to relax in paradise while feeling at home? The answer is simple - Bluebay! ♥

Spent 4 nights at Mvuvi for a family wedding, and I can’t recommend Mvuvi more highly. Special mention needs to be made of the incredible staff. They are unbelievably friendly, attentive and helpful. Our comfort and enjoyment was a priority to them all. The food was absolutely incredible. Fresh, local produce, prepared beautifully. So tasty. Our room was fabulous. Bed was super comfy (fitted with mosquito net). The Aircon and ceiling fan were most welcome to ward off the heat to ensure a comfortable sleep. Bathroom was fab, and well kitted out with amenities. A beach bag was supplied with beach towels. Waking up and being able to walk straight out and into the warm ocean just a few metres away was the best way to start the day. You do need to deal with a few hagglers trying to get you to buy things but so long as you are polite but don’t engage with them, it’s fine. We rented boards for stand up paddle boarding from Mvuvi, and that was such fun. The pool facilities were fabulous, as was the food and bar service from the pool. The staff went all out to make the set up for the wedding look so spectacular, and for the big dinner the night before the wedding. So special. The owners of the resort were wonderful, and constantly checking to see guests were happy and well provided for. Overall an amazing experience. Haven’t felt so relaxed in years. Thank you Mvuvi.

Highly recommended. Very good food, large rooms, clean, quiet area. Nice, welcoming and helpful managers. I loved the beach bar where you can eat top food. The breakfast very good and rich. Good internet connection. I will come back. Thanks Madalina and Tudor 😊👍
