Kiwengwa Hotels with Pools

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.

We got to the room but we had an emergency and had to fly back home right away. We were charged for all three nights, we were in the room for 5 minutes, they said that they would not charge us anything, but we were of the opinion that they were entitled for one night. When we were driving to the airport, I got a notification that they were charging me the entire amount. After an additional question, I got the answer that I had reserved the room and I had to pay for it. If they had told us right away, there would have been no problem at all. Not that they pretend to be understanding, but in reality they are only interested in money and nothing else. The room smelled of mold, the shower was so full of scale that the faucet probably wouldn't even turn on. The prices are desperately high, the pool looks quite big in the pictures, in reality it is max 4 meters long, which is for children. If I ever come to Zanzibar again, I will definitely avoid this hotel. Much cheaper and worse rated hotels in Asia are immeasurably cleaner and better than this one.

I cannot say enough positive things about Mvuvi! The hotel is fabulously located on Kiwengwa Beach which is a quieter location but is beautiful. The team at the hotel were so lovely and attentive. We had a few electrical issues with our room, but they were absolutely on top of it and were able to move us to another room that was perfect. They were so helpful when organising excursions and being around to answer any questions. The hotel has such a family feel and was exactly what we were looking for for our holiday. The food at both restaurants is also delicious and uses so many local ingredients. Mvuvi/The Beach Lounge made for one of the best beach holidays we've had.

Our experience at Bluebay Beach Resort and Spa was awesome and spectacular. The location and service from the staff was exemplary. Enjoyed stunning views of the sunrise over the white sandy beach, making each morning a breathtaking spectacle. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was super friendly, instantly making us feel special. Local Management are super cooperative. Their assistance in exploring the resort and the surrounding area was invaluable, enhancing our stay with seamless and delightful experiences. The connections we made with the locals allowed us to immerse ourselves deeply in the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Zanzibar. Culinary Delights are outstanding. The dining at the resort was a highlight, with Chef Khan. His culinary creations could easily compete with the great restaurants in India, satisfying both gourmets and those who simply enjoy a good meat and sea foods. We wholeheartedly recommend the Bluebay Beach Resort and Spa to anyone visiting Zanzibar.Excellent location, exceptional staff, and exquisite dining options all combine to ensure a memorable escape.

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.
