5 stars for: Staff, friendliness, service ***** Food ***** (gourmet for African standards) Beach bar and beach restaurant ***** Beach ***** Sunsets ***** (for us a reason in itself to rule out all east cost hotels, mind that!) Beach bar and drinks ***** Rooms ***** Excursions with Yusuf ***** (we did snorkeling, dolphins, stone town, spice tour) Massages ***** (over the beach with the soundtrack of the ocean's wave)
The staff is amazing. Food at the restaurant is good. Rooftop is nice. Location is right in the middle of Stone Town. This hotel allows you to be a part of the city without being contaminated by tourism. I recommend the hotel if you want to breath the local culture and encounter locals. 2/3 nights is enough. Not recommended if you are looking for a European fancy beach with 5 stars service and no contact with local culture.
Kiwengwa Beach Resort surpassed all expectations, and the outstanding service provided by Saidia at reception, along with Aied, Mussa, and Petro, elevated the experience to unparalleled heights. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail contributed to the seamless enjoyment of this remarkable resort. With its enchanting location and luxurious amenities, Kiwengwa Beach Resort goes beyond deserving a mere 5 stars – it's a destination that stands out for its excellence. Highly recommended for an unforgettable stay.
One of the prettiest & best hotels in Jambiani. We booked 5 nights and ended up extending our stay. The view from our room was stunning! We stayed in room 10. Great facilities, beautiful settings right on the beach, nice restaurant with wood fired pizza. The service was 5 Stars. Thanks to the entire team and especially to Hida for making our stay a truly memorable experience 🙏 We will definitely come back!
Exceeded my expectations, starting with the warm smile and exceptional services from everyone. I booked the room just to be next to my friends who are staying at the next hotel which considered as five stars (THE NEST). And my friends got surprised that the location is very close to their Hotel and even stated that services, food, people and the tours arranged by Mem Luxury Apartments are the best in Paje.
The pool is amazing The room was nice Peter at the reception is 5 stars
The hotel is located in the street right behind the great 5 stars resorts, 5 min walking to the beach. The rooms are very spacious, with very comfortable beds, safe to keep your belongings, AC working perfectly and good water pressure in the shower. The swimming pool is nice. The breakfast is simple but good. The two young ladies at the breakfast room/restaurant were the highlight of this hotel: Monica and Umi! Sweet, helpful, smiling, very kind! ❤️❤️ You made our good memories of this hotel!
Everything is excellent. The hotel has all ingredients for a perfect holiday. It has a modern and luxurious outlook, the food is amazing, the staff treat guests with great care. We highly recommend this truly 5 stars hotel.
