Our stay here was amazing! Beautiful resort and staff. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The buffet style food was fresh and good. The rooms were clean and kept cool. We enjoyed the outdoor shower. Great views for pictures and videos if you’re a content creator or just enjoy doing so. I would definitely recommend this resort.

Pretty but disappointing
The resort is beautiful but quite remote. The beach is not usable for watersports or sunbathing, although there is a man-made sandy area near the pool. The people are very friendly and welcoming, but the service is often slow and chaotic. We had to ask multiple times for drinks, often waiting over 30 minutes. The electricity failed many times during our stay, once for almost an entire day. The toilets didn’t flush during the power outages, which was unpleasant. It woke us up frequently during the night as the aircon would stop and restart. The shop does not take cards, although the reception below has a card machine. I was walked 5 minutes away to the spa to pay. There is no ATM. They suddenly implemented a towel card system midway through our stay, after days of no beach towels being available. We had not been given cards and the staff at reception didn’t know about the new system. The All-In drinks menu is very limited and AI guests have to pay for everything after 11pm. This was very disappointing and we felt pretty cheated. See photos - only marked drinks are included. Generally I would say that although pretty, this is not a 5-star hotel, and really shouldn’t claim to be or charge 5-star prices.

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

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.
