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.

The hotel is next to the beach, the beach is beautiful with white sand, and the hotel is quite large. The environment is OK, there are two bedside restaurants, one buffet restaurant that I didn't try and it looked average, and the other a la carte restaurant. It was also average. The room was normal and not luxurious, and there was nothing to see near the hotel. Stay here to enjoy the beach, don't expect as many shops as in Stone Town

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. Main buffet restaurant provide good choice of meals, cater for vegetarians, tropical fruit and desserts thanks to Zabron, Mussa and Ali 3 other a la carte restaurants also on site. 3 Pools. Wifi payable per gadget in rooms and free in lobby. Sauna, tennis and snooker/pool also payable per hour. 3 out of 5 Jacuzzi were not fully functional. Evening entertainment could have been better. Area safe for walking outside resort during the day. Doctor surgery on site available 24 hrs a day.

Kiwengwa is an excellent hotel. It is spacious with lots of facilities and excellent staff - we would single out Angela (Customer Relations Manager), Esther and Nuhu (Restaurant) and Faraja (Bar). It was a very relaxing atmosphere throughout. Our only criticism is that the WiFi is only available for free in the reception - this should be available for free throughout the hotel.

My family and I stayed at Kiwengwa Beach Resort for a week and had an amazing time. The staff were really friendly and we particularly enjoyed the food - the seafood and African restaurant were excellent. We took part in several excursions which were well run and saw dolphins on the Mnembo snorkeling trip. The oriental night was the last night of our stay, and the Shawarma food was excellent. I would really highly recommend this hotel.

A truly beautiful place that we would love to return to! The rooms, staff, food, and the entire property were impeccable and made our stay feel like a dream. Everything was very well taken care of, and the warm hospitality made us feel welcome from the very first moment. The beach is absolutely stunning, the entertainment activities were a 10/10, and the cleanliness was excellent throughout our stay. The location is perfect for relaxation, with amazing views and a peaceful atmosphere. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Zanzibar – it’s the perfect combination of comfort, beauty, and excellent service!

We stayed 10 days at Kiwengwa Beach Resort and the highlight was definitely the staff. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming – especially Jovita, who truly made our stay special with her kindness and attentiveness. Also, the pool staff were wonderful, and the location right by the beach with nice seating areas was fantastic. Unfortunately, the rooms didn’t really match the photos online, and the buffet was very repetitive – we ended up having pasta almost every day. Many services also come at an extra cost; Wi-Fi, for example, is $20 for 10 days but only works well in the reception and bar area, not in the rooms. Overall, this is a place with amazing staff and a beautiful location, but the services and food variety could definitely be improved.
