We stayed in one of the swim up rooms which was a nice added feature. The only thing I could fault this hotel is the drainage system in the shower and sink is a bit slow to go down the drain other than that everything is 5 star.

The hotel is brand new, and was quiet whilst we were there, the food was variable, but largely good, and all the staff were lovely, and could not do enough for you. The resort itself is quite remote, but still perfect for a relaxing break with a choice of several restaurants and bars on site, as well as a spa, gym and yoga area. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/11CE81B999C36A6D9E942AA007190747942890131690988227703.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/14C24E39C6FD348E3F3B5775B289D57BDA5473961690988228147.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9133C65439713BE2FD4F3F28D7562B240F27DD201690988227484.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/52644CB9ACCFFB8A9B37AF9FB8313BA5980230081690988225555.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Susan Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caitlin Van Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The stay was definitely what I would describe as a paradise resort, great food and entertainment and the staff are very friendly.With the only slight feedback being they had a lot of power cuts through the stay and water cuts occasionally but it was fixed once reported. A slight bit of maintenance needs to be done with regards to rust but is very difficult with the type of climate in Zanzibar but overall I would recommend this as a 5 star location in Zanzibar, thank you. ##### Caitlin Van Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved this resort , all the staff were so friendly and welcoming .

To Ibrahim , Lucas , Mwansuda and Mercy thank you so much for making our staying better ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Barbara Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very beautiful property. Super nice staff. Very over priced and underwhelming with Meal options. Buffet style without meal plan is $45 per person per meal per a day! I do a lot of traveling and thats the most ridiculously price I have ever had. When checking out, additional $70 was added to the final bill. Once again, highest taxes I have experienced within my time of traveling. Will definitely visit Zanzibar again, but will prefer another hotel!! ##### Barbara Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melvis Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s an amazing place,I will recommend kwanza to anyone who wants to have a quiet and peaceful get away, it’s unique, the staffs are very welcoming,the food is nice, What I didn’t like was the payment process during reservation, I had clicked payment upon arrival, but I was debited immediately I keyed in my account details. That didn’t seat well with me. But apart from that, kwanza is very nice place. ##### Melvis Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rami Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Jewel of the South We learnt Kwanza is “the first” in Swahili language, and in reality it was. Our experience was amazing. From the comfort of our chalet to the pristine landscape and exterior and the dining variety, it could not have been any better. The daily show by the poolside was an extra add-on that kept our daughters waiting for it every evening.. from live music, to local dance it was very original and engaging. Many thanks to all the staff for being so attentive, friendly and welcoming.. Mr. Riyab, Mr. Rajabu, Ms. Mariam and all the other members were so kind and helpful. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E205D6F3A115E45523BB71E5D3C69692C00333531691863042051.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EE0C1D63431995582ABC89B08549A93B1DF2EFBB1691863033406.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rami Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sam Aug 13, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointed Zanzibar is a beautiful island, however Kwanza doesn’t live up to its 5 star rating. Food - terrible, food was stale, rehashed from the day before and the same food nearly every day. Service - not great, we had a few issues, like a flood into our room - which were very poorly handled - overall they just didn’t seem to care about much. If we were paying $250 per night, there would be no complaints but they are asking the same rates as Dubai with nowhere near the same level of service or hospitality. ##### Sam Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Fatuma Omar Oct 16, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities I recently came to stay at the kwanza resort by sunrise in Zanzibar. While a beautiful location and most welcoming stay, I experience some bad service, that of which I didn’t expect for the money I paid for the hotel. My main issue was the waiting time for everything from the coffee in the mornings to the room service in the evenings, at one point even had to wait over 2 hours for a cup of coffee, which is ludicrous. Also, I had a discount code because I booked with Expedia, which was not honoured and the individual I spoke to, was extremely rude about, he made an arrange to meet at the reception to discuss my bill and what he can do and then didn’t come and then was extremely rude to me on the phone. There was a cockroach in one of the rooms and the air conditioning was not working in another. It was getting ridiculous. I left with a sour taste, also my sister, who came on the trip is a journalist, she has written for ELLE, Vogue, Marie Claire, Harpers Bazaar was planning on featuring the resort, is now quite disappointed. The best time were the staff who were incredibly accommodating and worked super hard to make our stay the best it could be ##### Fatuma Omar Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Noora Jul 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Overall excellent! They just opened so it was very quiet which was what we were looking for. The facilities were beautiful and everything was very clean and minimalistic. The thing that stood out most to me was the service. Sometimes in five star hotels it feels like even after paying a significant amount they always want to make you pay more for the small extras. In this case it was the opposite, the staff always went out of their way to check in and if something could reasonably be on the house they offered it. In the main restaurant: Mariam went above and beyond and made us want to come back again. Rajab catered to our every need! Felister listened to our questions about wanting to find authentic zanzibari food and Chef Sabrina made us the most scrumptious meal (off menu) that will stay with us as the best meal we had in Zanzibar! In the pool/recreation department: Khamis created a really fun game with shells that had me laughing and was one of the highlights of the trip! Jabiry always checked in to greet us good morning and refresh towels. Kwao at the pool bar went out of his way to cater to our every need. Reception: Mercia proactively checked in with us throughout our stay and any requests (ex. issues with hot water) were dealt with in under an hour. Excursions: Shabani and his staff took us on a wonderful beach trip with amazing food. The only downside to the facilities was that they have a cliff beach which makes swimming a bit challenging ##### Noora Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Daniela Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Die Cocktails schmecken nach reinen Mocktails, das Fleisch war mehrfach zäh und ungenießbar. Die Minibar wurde in 8 Tagen nur einmal aufgefüllt. Bereits nach zwei Tagen hatten wir alle drei (inkl. meiner beiden Söhne) mit Erbrechen und Durchfall zu kämpfen. Während unserer fünftägigen Safari außerhalb des Hotels ging es uns gesundheitlich sofort wieder besser. Nach der Rückkehr ins Hotel – nach zwei Abendessen – begannen die Beschwerden erneut. Viele andere Gäste berichteten das Gleiche. Wir haben den Aufenthalt schließlich abgebrochen – und das war die beste Entscheidung. In der neuen Unterkunft verbrachten wir 8 rundum gesunde Tage mit exzellentem Essen, tollem Service und ohne einen einzigen Zwischenfall – ein klarer Beweis, dass die Ursachen der Beschwerden im Hotel selbst zu suchen sind. Wir reisen viel und sind nicht übertrieben anspruchsvoll – aber das hier war leider ein Tiefpunkt. Wer hier 5 Sterne erwartet, findet sie nur in der Optik. Das eigentliche Problem liegt nicht beim Personal, sondern beim Management und der Gästebetreuung, die Kritik offenbar ignorieren. \*Keine Empfehlung – leider.\* ##### Daniela Stayed 16 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bree Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Bree Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Charlotte Nov 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Charlotte Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super Aufenthalt – tolles Ambiente und freundliches Personal! Wir hatten eine großartige Zeit in diesem Hotel! Die Atmosphäre war einfach toll, und das gesamte Team war super freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Anlage ist sehr groß und wunderschön gestaltet – wirklich ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen. Das Essen war morgens, mittags und abends immer lecker und abwechslungsreich, da war für jeden etwas dabei! Unser Zimmer war ebenfalls sehr schön und geräumig, wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Der einzige kleine Kritikpunkt für mich persönlich war das Salzwasser in der Dusche, aber das hat den Aufenthalt insgesamt nicht wirklich beeinträchtigt. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit, und vielleicht bis bald! ##### Tina Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Annemarie Nov 1, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Honest review The hotel was generally good but the pool area lacked something and I’m not sure. Could do with cleaning more as today it had a lot of flies/wasps and bits gathering at the steps, water didn’t look a great colour. Bathroom in my room smelt of sewerage, did not improve after calling reception. My daughter had raw/undercooked chicken in her chicken wrap and she ate some of it without realising. Spoke with the management but it didn’t seem to matter. Not the best experience and some staff were slow to bring drinks, today I waited 20mins and there was no one else at the pool ##### Annemarie Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Niklas Oct 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Niklas Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Sunrise-Beach-Resort.h16382901.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fort McMurray](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-McMurray-Hotels.d4001.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Brubru Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Melia Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Gran-Melia-Arusha.h34865479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Africa Safari Selous](https://www.expedia.ca/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Selous.h8446485.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Edmonton-Edmonton-Hotels.0-n6057885-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Bluebay-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1867044.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to ROM-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rom/toronto-to-rome) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to San Diego (SAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/san/detroit-to-san-diego) > > [Flights from Barcelona (BCN) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bcn/cdg/barcelona-to-paris) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Sudbury.d6127346.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/50/Dominican-Republic)
