Had great time here- gorgeous beach and sea, hammocks, very friendly and cosmopolitan staff. Sat around the fire at night and met maasai warriors, locals and holiday makers from all over the world. Food made from scratch, so order before you're hungry. Not cheapest, but would definitely go back- all very laid back and easy. more

I've sayed at Kendwa rocks about 10 times in the last 3 years! It is not amazing accommodation, the accommodation is fairly basic. You can stay in the stone bungalows, which are more modern and ensuite, the coconut wood bungalows, which are on the beach, and are nice, with ensuite bathrooms. or the very basic palm wood bungalows, which are... more

We stayed at Kendwa Rocks for three nights in august. We got a doubleroom with private bath (Gujarat). It had the best veranda with views of the beach, palms, sunset etc. The room was very clean - rooms will be cleaned when leaving the keys at the reception. It had free safetybox, A/C, fan and mosquitonet. The room was quite... more

My Wife and I returned to the beautiful Kendwa. We were here 6 years ago and alot has changed since then. On our last visit there was only Kendwa Rocks, one small Italian restaurant and the Bikini bar next door = Heaven! Now new establishments are popping up like mushrooms and unfortunately package tour groups are becoming a reality. The... more

The location is so amazing at Kendwa, the beach is out of this world. Sadly We stayed only one night as we decided to go to the east coast , as kendwa was noisy and party everwhere , but for those who enjoying the party and nice bar on the beach , the place is good, but was not just... more

Stayed there with 2 other friends in one of the triples with shared bathroom. Beach property is in a great location. It's close to the village, including convenience store and restaurants and most of the shuttles that drop off in village of Kendwa coming from Stone Town drop off right outside the gate to the hotel. Good breakfast in the... more

I can't really understand the negative reviews here, unless management took them to heart and whipped the staff into shape. We came upon this establishment while driving around looking for a place to stay for a few nights and had a great time. The rooms were clean and spacious, the A/C worked great, and it actually looked like they had... more

This is a great example of an amazing establishment with a lot of potential, ruined by the attitude of the staff. KendwaRocks is in an amazing spot, with direct access to the beautiful beach. They have diff accommodations, cheaper ones w shared bathrooms ($20) and nicer bungalows ($60 for a double). The wooden and stone bungalows are very beautiful, albeit... more
