i have been to more than 40 countries, lots and lots of hotels, but this one is unlike any other - the jewel of this hotel is its stuff. we spent 14 days here as a family of 4 and enjoyed everything. room was quite comfortable, clean, was cleaned everyday also. it was january 7 th, the day we celebrate christmas in orthodox christian countries, and the hotel gifted us a tour to Nakupenda island, we did not expect that and were very greatful for the amazing gift. you will not regret staying here, very close to the beach and restaurants, breakfast was normal ( not a lot of variety, but you will not stay hungry), stuff - excellent, special thanks to Maryam and everyone else. if we ever go back to Zanzibar, this is the hotel we shall stay again. great value for the price

We spent a perfect week in Villa Vanilla. The staff and owner are very kind and welcoming. Great breakfast on roof terrace with lots of fresh fruits. Tasty dinner. Rooms are extremely clean and are cleaned perfectly every day. If you don’t like to stay in the big resorts (like us), this hotel with its central location and great views is a perfect choice. Kendwa’s main beach is just a short walk away and in the street of the hotel you can find restaurants, supermarkets, money exchange and a pharmacy. The friendly owner is often around to help with any matters. He also arranged our very late checkin due to a last-minute flight cancellation and we were able to checkout late until it was time to leave for the airport. Nothing to improve ! We would definitely choose Villa Vanilla again!

I had a great experience in this hotel. The hotel itself is very new, and you can see that in nicely decorated spacious room with quality furnitures and lots of shelves and racks that are more than enough to store your extra stuff. Room was very clean, housekeeping was professional during my stay. Breakfast was great, wifi was strong enough to browse and check your emails. They even have a generator for power outages that are very common in Kendwa. 10 min walk to beach, which is not big deal, you even find a chance to grab a few groceries at a local store on your way back to hotel. Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and always available to ask anything. They even let me check out after 5pm in my last day which made my day so easy as my flight was late in night. I will definitely book Crystal Coast again in my next visit to Kendwa.

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to...

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Everything. Right after we came we felt like we’re in paradise. We got welcome juice :) We were here on our Honeymoon, so we had our room decorated 🫶 Servis of hotel was the best. Everyday room cleaning, everyone was helpful and always smiling. Staff is still working on something so hotel can be even better. The beach was probably the best in the Kendwa area. Yes, and the food was delicious. Always so many options! First time a did not even want to leave to go home 🩷

Dorice is a very friendly and sweet host. She advised us on what to do and was very supportive throughout our stay. The whole staff is caring, friendly and professional. The food at the restaurant is delicious (curries and breakfast,especially the avocado toast with poached eggs) The hotel is in front of the beach and the beach is very nice, probably the nicest in Zanzibar and way nicer than Nungwy. The hotel is very clean and quiet.

Everything was great! Accommodation quality is amazing for Zanzibar standards but the best thing about this place is Villa's staff, especially Dula. He will help you with EVERYTHING and go the extra mile each time. Location of the place is also great, 4 minutes to the beach, loads of shops and cafes around and it feels safe
