Kendwa Rocks Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great place as a single woman traveling solo. The beaches are beautiful, though if you want a quiet swim go earlier in the day! The food was great and there are plenty of activities during the week. I would definitely stay here again!"

"Great location right on the water. Very well priced for a great experience in Nungwi. Nothing bad to say about the place. Beds are pretty firm, but thsts pretty standard for Zanzibar and most Southern African places (that are not 5 stars and super expensive). Would definitely come back again"
