"Location on Kendwa beach was the best! Beautiful swimming, restaurant with beach view and stunning sunsets right from your beach chair. You can walk to other restaurants and the beach was safe for walking. Patrols also ensured beach merchants did not get too close. Wifi was spotty at times. Room was comfortable, though sometimes AC would go out due to spotty electricity issues which is all over zanzibar so not the property. A wonderful and easy stay after safari!"

Canary Kendwa Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at Canary Kendwa Beach Resort was one of the most beautiful vacations I’ve ever had. Everything exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived. The resort is perfectly located on the stunning Kendwa Beach, with crystal-clear turquoise water, soft white sand, and breathtaking sunsets every evening. Swimming in the warm ocean was an unforgettable experience. Our room was spacious, spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The bathroom was modern, and housekeeping kept everything perfectly clean throughout our stay. The staff were exceptional—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. No request was too much, and they made us feel welcome every day. The food was delicious with plenty of variety, and the beachfront bar served amazing cocktails at great prices. Enjoying drinks while watching the sunset was one of our favorite moments. We also loved the daily activities and evening entertainment. Playing table tennis and watching the international shows made every night fun and memorable. The reception team was always available and very helpful whenever we needed assistance. Canary Kendwa Beach Resort offers the perfect combination of relaxation, beautiful scenery, excellent service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere. We created unforgettable memories here and can’t wait to return. We highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Zanzibar—it truly deserves 5 stars!"

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
