Kiwengwa Beach Resort

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.

Great hotel With good service and the food is amazing

The Kiwengwa Beach Resort is a wonderful hotel complex with all kinds of recreational opportunities, from sports to spa. The hotel staff are really very good. They serve the hotel guests in a friendly and quick manner and all wishes are fulfilled - if possible. The food is excellent. There is vegetarian, meat and a large selection of vegetables/salads/desserts. The food was always replenished quickly. The food is freshly cooked and looks very appealing.The beach is wonderful. It is always cleaned and the hotel staff take good care of you. A small disadvantage are the many Maasai sellers, who are however kept at a safe distance by the hotel staff and there is good support here too. I can only recommend the resort, it was a wonderful holiday and we will definitely visit the resort again.

Jambo! We have just returned from two weeks at the Kiwengwa Beach Resort and we had a fantastic time! Our thanks goes to the island of Zanzibar and the people who work so hard in this resort to make sure you have a great time they are the stars here without a doubt! We stayed in room 403 next to one of salt water swimming pools We were looked after by the super Juma a fantastic pool attendant who was great. Angela from the housekeeping team was fantastic did a great job,she looked after us and the room, everything was spotless and with creative towels everyday! nothing is ever perfect, but any issues we experienced were dealt with by the incredible Victor on the front of house, with a great understanding of customer service and exceeding expectations! The resort is right on the beach which is great to walk along, the sand is soft and fine, and there are some great shops and bars with friendly people along you can visit and will really appreciate your custom (we normally like to get out of the resort and visit other places just for a change from the resort) If you don’t want to be hassled by the beach sellers, polite no thank you usually does the trick, they are all pretty friendly guys. (Myuvvi next door to the resort is really good and Yakos in the little town outside the resort does the best pizza and tiramisu I have had outside of Italy!!) The food on the resort is good, we were always able to find something to eat and it was always tasty! The African buffet is good really tasty and well done it’s a buffet style but it’s well presented and fun. We only went to the fish restaurant once, again it’s a buffet style and was okay, no complaints from any of us. The Massai on the beach are on first experience a bit full on, but give them a chance, they are very friendly and if you don’t want what they want to sell you, a polite no thank you will do the trick, after that they will leave you alone. We always had a chat with them as there stories were always interesting. The animation team are great they looked after my son really well. He is 14 and we were worried he would be bored, but no chance there was always something for him to do. Faustine was great, friendly guy, a lot of fun (and see Faustine if you want any advice about trips he knows the island really well) The thing you need to know about the resort is just go, relax and let the team take really good care of you. Hakuma Mattata!
