This hotel was a very enjoyable stay! I first must mention the food! Almost all of the food I had was incredible, very good food , and the selection was very impressive. Secondly, the beach is amazing, when the water is clear it is truly a marvel. The hotel is quite large and busy if you enjoy a more secluded stay this is not the place for you , that being said I still found my time here incredibly enjoyable. All staff were kind and talkative, the resort as a whole was very clean, and there is a grocery style super market with a good selection for extra drinks and snacks a five minute walk from the hotel entrance.

This is a beautiful resort. The staff were incredibly kind and always welcome you with a smile. They have snacks and coffee/tea time throughout the day and the dinner buffets were fantastic. There is also a lot of activities like water aerobics, stretching, volleyball.
The only downside: people are allowed to smoke everywhere, on the beach, by the pool, the lobby, the chill areas. It’s really gross and very unhealthy for those who do not smoke.
The place is a bit run down, but ok and a fantastic location. Staff was very nice and helpful. They could have a better animation team, such a big hotel should have beach volleyball, water polo etc every day. When we were leaving and basically going around the corner to another hotel, they charged 15 dollars, Uber was 4.
My next trip to this beautiful island
🏝️ Zanzibar 🔥
I want to note right away that my first visit to the island was not so joyful and emotional.
I stayed then in the hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar, thanks to which, I did not want to leave the hotel grounds at all, because when I went outside the grounds, I felt completely despondent and I would even say horror..
I also cannot note that during this time the island has changed a lot:-
1. A new airport has been built and opened
2. On the way from the airport to Kendwa beach, you drive along an asphalt road, the roadsides are clean, which could not be said on the first visit, it was dirt, broken roads and very, very 😱😱
In general, the second, third visit to this wonderful island is already a tedious wait in anticipation of the Turquoise water. white sand bright sun)
Stop at the hotel
Kendwa Rocks ..
I really like the piece of this coastline from the Riu Palace Zanzibar hotel to Kendwa Rocks🔥🔥
Wide coastline, equipped with sun loungers and mushroom beaches, you will hardly notice the low tide, but at least it definitely does not prevent you from enjoying the Indian Ocean, there is no seaweed .. someone may be bothered by moored ships and boats, I do not)).
HOTEL
Zanzibar to Kendwa Rocks
the hotel is four stars 🌟 and it gets a solid four for that 🔥🔥🏝️🏝️
The hotel grounds are very well maintained, the rooms are arranged in a cascade, if you go to booking, you will get a full picture of the room stock and it really corresponds to reality ..
The beach starts working at 8 am, there are thick mattresses on the sun loungers, which the staff carefully lays out in the morning, you also get a beach towel and enjoy the beautiful weather and get an excellent tan
😀😀
What would I probably attribute to the disadvantages of staying in this room .. if you really want to find fault with something ..
my themed room without an ocean view - no mirror in the room, with the exception of a mirror above the sink in the bathroom, there are no sticks if the young lady needs to place her cosmetics..
All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a fan, there are toiletries: - shower gel, shampoo, as well as a hair dryer..
hygienic shower.. Oh, that's a whole other story 😀😀
The pressure in the hygienic shower can be compared to the water pressure in a transboat 😀😀
In general, I'm not sure that it can be used for its intended purpose, if you don't want to lose what you had before using the shower))).
As for the food, everything is standard, I liked everything.. I won't even describe it))
I'm not picky, but I appreciate it when everything is good
I definitely don't expect oysters with champagne))
Breakfast is standard, those who write that it's the same every day are completely beyond comment..
apparently you have a Michelin chef at home and personal service for your apartment and your person)).
The hotel has excellent value for money!
It was a great trip, especially with a few good friends. Although there was no opposite sex, it did not affect our enjoyment of life and emotional release!
The hotel is really perfect, with complete facilities, pleasant environment, and all three meals in the restaurant are well arranged. It was also a romantic party... Walking along the white beach in the morning and evening, riding a motorboat with the sunset... Perfect!
Next time, I can really bring my family to Sang Island for a trip. It is hospitable and the scenery is pleasant!
If you don't want to step on the pit of the hotel, come here!
The location is easy to find, there is a parking lot, it is very suitable for bringing children. Although the hotel is not too big, it is very beautiful. I especially love the lights of the swimming pool! Because I came during the COVID-19 epidemic and there are no other guests in the hotel, we enjoyed the VVVVIP treatment, which is great!
The hotel environment is good, the beach is very white, but the price is too high. Let’s talk about the service first, the room needs an extra bed, and I have to wait for a few hours before I come; I need to get a switch plug, and there is no shadow until I check out; I check out on the last day and call on time, I really won’t let you for a minute. Delay. Besides the facilities, the bed in the standard room will move, so there are sizzling sounds upstairs and downstairs every day, and the sound insulation is very poor. On the wall, the hand cramps when you press it. In the villa, all the sockets are European-style. You must bring your own adapter. The swimming pool in the villa can only be regarded as a footbath, because it is only 60 cm deep.
CCHIWAYOBest resort in Zanzibar that gives you 5 star treatment ! Absolutely loved their service & warm welcome. Stuff is super nice & kind. If you need any assistance they are kind enough to help you. Their breakfast & dinner buffet is amazing! There’s always music playing + a live band. So many activities to enjoy at the resort. I will choose Sea Cliff resort again!
AAmiraThe hotel is not huge which i loved because the facilities and service feel very personalized. The team is very friendly especially Ally and Norah! I loved the seafood grill a la carte Lebanese restaurant. The beach was beautiful and the see reaf guided hike was very enjoyable. The room was very well kept and comfortable. The next door village has nice local food and products.
AAGBOMADJI KODJOVI AGBESSIThe level of the staff Organisation is admirable, strict but fair considering the level of the service. I enjoyed the breakfast every single morning . The sky bar is just Woao with the saxophonist on Saturday night. Will be back l.
GGinge5Tui Blue Bahari is 5*+
There is space, good food, great private beaches, 5 restaurants, friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere.
There were more sunbeds than guests when we stayed and towels are available poolside.
There are bars in the garden, by the beach and at the pool, which are all manned with waiters and bar staff who are happy and efficient.
The hotel has security and a private beach and the local tour sellers wait at the beach for you to engage.
If you walk straight into the sea from the resort you'll find starfish, urchins and Dory fish.
The room door we had wouldn't lock with a firm push and a couple times after the cleaners had been it was unlocked.
Overall though 9.5/10
I'd recommend for any special occasion, or for those who want to safari in Tanzania, or swim with dolphins in Mnemba.
AAnonymous UserIf you are choosing a place to enjoy your holidays, getting away from crowd and enjoy peaceful moments, it’s definitely a right place for you.
Hotel staff is very nice and helpful.
Food in hotel restaurant is excellent, they offer different menu for lunch and dinner. Verify options for breakfast buffet, you will never feel bored for their food.
Hotel offers yoga class on the morning daily except Sunday. Family or solo can also start with a “ Good morning “. There is a swimming pool, small gym room, different ball games for visitors to chill.
Hotel is also connected with different Partners, no need to worry about the day trip prior arrival. They can plan everything for you including stone town visit, prison island , snorkelling.
We just enjoy our time during our stay.
AAna_stasiiaVery nice location on the main part of the beach area in Kendwa beach. The hotel room is rather basic, and there was no hot water after the first night. The tap in the bathroom also had metal/ rust coming from the tap. The shower basically dribbled water and made a mess in the bathroom. There was no room cleaning during then2 days we spent here. The WiFi didn’t work at all making it very difficult to work online if your job requires it. The room had only 2 power points for charging devises and these were local power point so you’ll need an adaptor from the local store in order to charge your phone/ laptop. The included breakfast is basic- an omelette , a slice of toast, some fruit and a crepe. Only instant coffee includes. A cappuccino was an extra $4 a cup.
AAna_stasiiaThe hotel is very nice, it’s very quiet though and doesn’t seem to be very popular among travels choice here. The room was spacious, and clean, the staff were very friendly. The WiFi was great. The breakfast was good. A few options for cereals and fruit , coffee and tea as well as options for cooked meals. The location isn’t bad but also not amazing. The beach directly in front of the hotel is not the main beach, there’s a lot of seaweed but it’s only a 10 minute walk along the beach to the nicer beach area. 20 minutes of walking along the roads. Considering the price for what you get I think it’s overpriced but in all honestly so are all the other hotels on the island.
DDave travel expertThis hotel is very nice if you think about the price to quality ratio. People who work there are ok. The hotel is clean and has a nice restaurant inside that serves many dishes. There was music during the day and the cleaning service did a good job. The only thing that is not on is not about the hotel but about the area - when we get out of the hotel many street and beach vendors aggressively approach us. The hotel is ok so you can go there and rest for even a few weeks but the area is dangerous so stay safe in the hotel. Some of the street vendors are so rude that they are going after you from the beach to the hotel main door where the body guard stops him.
